Nobody is askin you to believe anything a-priori. The point here is that we haven't looked into what the affects mean. The sun puts out considerably less radio emission than it does any other EMR (xray, UV, visible, infrared). Many of the wavelengths are then deflected, absorbed, weakened, etc by the atmosphere. Logically speaking, if the wavelength that we use for forms of radio communication make it to earth, then we would need to transmit at a higher power to overcome that background noise. Again, logically speaking, when the tests are being done, the observation in increased glucose consumption etc are being observed over the natural baseline affects of the sun.
> The manifesto itself says that the guy doesn't understand any of this stuff.

Now you're just flat lying. That's not what it said at all, and in fact I explained this to you only hours previous.

Here's what the alleged manifesto said:

> Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play.

This is some of the poorest debating I've seen on HN in a long while. I really don't know why you think it's okay to make shit up like this, and then repeat it long after you were patiently corrected. Who do you think you're going to convince this way? Do you have that low an opinion of the crowd here?
Which sources? How do I know I can trust the sources that I found?
Can you train the voices to work? Turn those sub personas into creative background processes?

Komodo: A free anonymous LLM client that loads faster than Google
Built with speed in mind. Each query takes about 1 second. Initial load time is averaging 1 second and to load it from cache takes 0.2s. Both of these are averaging faster than Google. But with a lot less functionality!

Duck duck Go exists as a privacy first search engine, so why not Komodo as a privacy first LLM client?
To me (not OP) it's ChatGPT 4 , it at least made me realize it's quite possible and even quite soon that we reach AGI. Far from guaranteed, but seems quite possible.
> The problem is, a computer has no idea what "improve" means unless a human explains it for every type of problem

Not currently.

I don’t really think AGI is coming anytime soon, but that doesn’t seem like a real reason.

If we ever found a way to formalize what intelligence _is_ we could probably write a program emulating it.

We just don’t even have a good understanding of what being intelligent even means.

> The best we'll get, I believe, is an AGI that can optimize itself within a few narrow problem domains

By definition, that isn’t AGI.

Spectral Imaging Made Easy: A Powerful Python Library
I've created a Python library for working with spectral images. It started as a mix of work and personal interest. Since I work in research, I brought together a lot of useful code to make handling spectral images easier and packaged it into this library. I hope others find it helpful too! :blush:

AI: wildly unpredictable at every stage and in every regard. Cheaper, better, faster, more drama, that's all easy to predict, but how much of each and which specific benchmarks/legal issues are not.

Only AI capability predictions I will make are:

• Probably still no Tesla level 5 FSD, but Waymo will continue rolling out slowly and cautiously.

• Androids will still be split into cheap toys and expensive industrial equipment, not fully general domestic servants

--

Power:

• Wind power increases 7-21%

• PV increases 20-26%

• Fusion has some press releases, doesn't demonstrate much useful

• Battery production increases by about 33% while getting about 14% cheaper per unit

--

BigTech companies:

• At least one FAANG gets split up properly, possibly multiple. They've been annoying too many governments for too long.

• X gets more drama, but details are unpredictable. Could equally be "bankrupt", "mandatory for US federal government", "banned in EU, UK, Australia", "sold to Trump personally".

--

Consumer tech:

• Computers get about 31% more power efficient

• 50%: Some specific Smart Dust product revealed to public, people announce expensive paint contianing x motes of smart dust per litre.

• VR/AR: 25% dropped from news cycle like 3D TV, 50% continues like games consoles, 25% something that currently seems sci-fi

--

Geopolitics:

• Musk finds $2T to cut (66%), Congress pretends to take it seriously (80%), but nobody wants the cuts in their district (99.9%) so it stalls unless and until Musk can find a way to effectively buy out the downsides (80% chance Musk finds a way at all, but only 25% chance the method he finds is actually legal).

• US weapons stop being sent to Ukraine: (completely banned even for sale: 5%; they can be sold but no more are given "for free": 60-70%; repeat of previous Trump request for dirt on domestic opponents in exchange for aid: 30-40%)

• EU aid stops going to Ukraine: 1% while they remain independent, 99% if they get conquered.

• Ukraine develops nuclear deterrent: 30-50% if aid stops or is threatened, otherwise 5-10%

• Putin dies: assassinated, ~2%; all other causes, ~4%

• Trump dies: assassinated, 1-2.25%; all other causes, 5-6%
Cannot limit this to just US government. Response is uniform across most power structures in the world.
You will have hyperparameters that weight the KL divergence (between the updated policy distribution and the current policy distribution). This helps you tune how sensitive the training process is. Entropy maximization is common in offline RL specifically as it ensures the policy has some non determinism at least and isn't bound too closely to the data you have collected, to the point of basically being deterministic. This is also tunable with a weight.

the nice thing about boardgames is that they also work for introverts. you don't have to be chatty or engage in conversation topics that you find boring. you can use the game as a proxy to interact with people and allow you to become comfortable with each other. more so if you are a cooperative and helpful player. if you are engaged in the game noone will notice if you haven't said a word all evening.

if language is an issue you can find a translation of the rules of most games online to help you out with learning a more complex game.
I don't get your point. Fastmail provide, foremost, an email service. Boring is good here. Exciting and shiny I don't need.
Thank you for the kind words! I somewhat agree that it is complicated and overly engineered for many applications that don't need all of the statechart features, and that it has a sizable learning curve.

I plan on greatly simplifying it for the next major version, mostly to be more idiomatic and flexible without sacrificing the state machine principles.
I had the same experience with Buildroot. The project was stuck at an older release and it was kind of a time-bomb: as time went on it became harder to update because customizations kept piling on but at the same time there were obsolete packages (some with CVEs) which had to be upgraded ASAP.

> which we did not and could not design, plan or engineer, but which emerged

We literally designed, planned, and engineered the environment and mechanisms which created those weights.

It’s just code. We can train models by hand too, it’d just take a lot longer.

It’s literally something we made, just from a higher order place.

To understand which exact weights correspond to what output will vary from model to model. There is research going into this subject for llama.

it’s not like we’re in the dark as to the principles that allow LLMs to make predictions.

My whole point is that to say “we don’t know how AI works” is just not true

As one of their customers, I really appreciate that they don't upend everything all the time with pointless features.

Constantly reinventing things and piling on pointless features is one of the things I dislike most about Google, their chat solution is especially egregious for this. It only causes frustration and increases the time investment required to be proficient with the products.

FYI: Schizophrenia and psychosis are two different things. The latter can be a symptom of the former. But psychoses can occur for many different reasons. They're quite common in bipolar disorder ("manic depression", during manic phases). And it isn't always about "hearing voices". Both of those seem like pretty common misconceptions.

I have a friend who trained themself to recognise the onset of their psychoses, and to only medicate when that happens. Antipsychotics can have pretty unpleasant side effects in many people. This strategy is not without risk.
I think as you go on it becomes a out being sure that you are solving problems in the simplest way possible. Chances are even with the simplest solution possible you will still need to do some creative stuff.

However, too many programmers in my experience (including myself) can frett about using tools and features that are cool little puzzles, but don't really contribute to the core solution and can in the worst case even make less manageable code.

As in all things, it's about finding the balance for the context. Let your personal projects be where you play with new tools while you keep solutions for your job dead simple due to all the job-related reasons to do that.

A hierarchy of LLMs, but they communicate via shared latent space instead of tokens. This will allow for really tiny models on the edge that work best at clarifying intent (and not much else; they have no world knowledge), but seamless and rapid offloading to the cloud with all context still preserved when the intent is thoroughly understood.

I mean, I'm happy to have this argument. CEPH is content agnostic and that's fantastic most of the time. Cyrus replication is data aware, so it's not just replicating the data, it's doing integrity checking and data model consistency handling.

Most of all, it's doing split brain recovery; which - if we wanted CP rather than AP then we wouldn't need, but that wasn't the original design.

If I was redoing this from scratch, I'd maybe do Ceph or similar and update Cyrus to work well with it, but that would be a big change from the current design.

Anyway, I'm happy to stipulate that Ceph is great tech, without going and telling other people that it's the only choice.
I do think it is time to start questioning whether the utility of ai solely can be reduced to the quality of the training data.

How would a bug persist in production if you get a compile time error that prevents you from running the application? You don't seem like you know what you're talking about.

Even if I am charitable with my interpretation, I'm not sure I get your point. If you refuse to handle the case where something is nullable and you convert it to non-null via .unwrap() (Rust perspective, I haven't used Kotlin), then you will get your NullPointerException in that location, so Kotlin is just as powerful as Java in terms of producing NPEs, but here is the thing. The locations where you can get NPEs are limited to the places where you have done .unwrap(), which is much easier to search through, than the entire codebase, which is what you'd have to do in Java, where every single line could produce an NPE. So in reality if you push incomplete code to production, you will have strong markers in the code that indicate that it is unfinished.

Nope, IMAP can't provide the kind of smooth reliable experience that the Fastmail mobile app provides. Now they obviously could have done it in many different ways, but I know from experience with IMAP that it can't do it.

The amount of times IMAP has resulted in duplicate emails when moving mail between folders for me is enough that I eventually gave up on attempting any kind of organization back when I was last using it.
Take inspiration from this, it would be brilliant https://www.amazon.com.au/Never-Split-Difference-Negotiating...
It would have been trivial for record types to be non-nullable by default.

Record types are 3 years old and they are already obsolete with regards to compile time null checking. This is a big problem in Java. A lot of new features have become legacy code and are now preventing future features to be included out of the box.

This is why the incremental approach to language updates doesn't work. You can't change the foundation and the foundation grows with every release.

I am awaiting the day Oracle releases class2 and record2 keywords for Java with sane defaults.
I think you may be confusing the strict immutability of binary fuse with the "degraded" (aka need-to-resize-a-hash-table-once-"full") of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo_filter under high hash table load.

In any event, to address your question, most of the time people truncate to some round number of bytes (8, 16, 32, 64 bits, really) because this is very cheap, but it’s actually barely more expensive to truncate to any smaller than 64 number of bits with masks & shifts. Doing so with a back-to-back array of such truncated b-bit numbers (https://github.com/c-blake/adix/blob/master/adix/sequint.nim) structured as a regular hash table (such as robin hood linear probing (https://github.com/c-blake/adix/blob/master/adix/bltab.nim) where a hit or miss will likely only induce a nearly guaranteed single cache line miss up to ~90..95+% utilization) lets you make a filter with many fewer CPU cache misses (~10X fewer, but everything always depends on where you land in the parameter space) than a Bloom filter at a small 2..4X cost in more space.

There are some example numbers and a “calculus analysis” at the bottom of https://github.com/c-blake/adix/blob/master/tests/bl.nim, but it’s all only a few hundred lines of Nim and you could re-do a test in your favorite ProgLang. This table does eventually "fill up" like Cuckoo or any fixed malloc'd arena at which point people usually double/whatever to make more space resulting in a linear amortized cost growing up from zero. I would just call this a b-bit hash existence filter or maybe b-filter or bit-level filter if you want to get brief.

FWIW, I believe this was even understood by the aboriginal paper by Bloom in his 1970 CACM article (https://cacm.acm.org/research/space-time-trade-offs-in-hash-...) based upon his footnote2, though I think he was referring less to a CPU cache and more to "loading a whole word of memory at a time" like the 36-bit word IBM mainframes of the day, though these are similar mathematically (just think of a 64B cache-line as a 512-bit aligned word). Somehow it got lost in the teaching of Bloom filters.

To speculate on that "somehow", once you have a new dimension (accuracy in space-time-accuracy here), it is easy/natural to only consider "projections", but such oversimplifications can lead one astray. E.g., most people I know optimize for space only to indirectly optimize for time, but most discussion on this topic is about space-accuracy.
They don't need a new protocol to deliver a stable and sufficient product for their customers, I agree.

I tried. I don't have the time to formulate and scrutinise adequate arguments, though.

Do you? Anything anywhere you could point me to?

The algorithms live entirely off the training data. They consistently fail to "abduct" (inference) beyond any language-in/of-the-training-specific information.
It is more like exploration, geocache without the cache. Orientering we call it here.

3 - And disguise your second goal, to minimize accusations of "pro-Asian Wokery" (or whatever phrase the nut jobs on that side of the culture wars are currently using) from your #2
