> Code is the best possible application of LLMs because you can TEST the output.

This is an overly simplistic view of software development.

Poorly made abstractions and functions will have knock on effects on future code that can be hard to predict.

Not to mention that code can have side effects that may not affect a given test case, or the code could be poorly optimized, etc.

Just because code compiles or passes a test does not mean it’s entirely correct. If it did, we wouldn’t have bugs anymore.

The usual response to this is something like “we can use the LLM to refactor LLM code if we need” but, in my experience, this leads to very complex, hard to reason about codebases.

Especially if the stack isn’t Python or JavaScript.
I wasn't being a dick, I was being direct. It doesn't always come through online though.
I mean, the iPhone 16 is already running LLMs locally. So yeah.

Planning to write a lengthy blog post on this. Will reply here.
Yea it’s for fun.
So code review LLM-generated code and reject it (or require changes to it) if it doesn't fit your idea of what good code looks like.
> I don't know any parents who would want their child to stop playing at 7 years old.

Parents don't decide what happens to the kids at school though.

> We can socially change much faster than we can biologically evolve.

If the genes were always there but they died constantly 200 years ago it just meant that we no longer cull those people early, and after a couple of such generations we now have them around. Early puberty is still not common, it just exists, that makes it more likely to be biological than social, if the social changes did it then early puberty would be the norm today rather than a very rare exception.

The whole text is antisemitic.

"The sins mentioned here are among the many sins that the Jews committed, which caused them to be cursed and removed far away from right guidance. The Jews broke the promises and vows that Allah took from them", "their hearts are sealed because of their disbelief", "their hearts became accustomed to Kufr, transgression and weak faith" - the list is long.

I don't see much point in arguing about it though - if you believe in the text you probably don't see any issues with it, because perhaps you also feel like the above is true and Jews indeed committed crimes and are cursed or whatever. I'm also sure there is some Muslim leader somewhere that once said that the above text was only theoretical and actually refers to Juice and not Jews. Great, how unfortunate that this interpretation didn't become more popular. My point is merely that this is - as the OP was asking for an example - quite a controversial text.
Uber are the worst for abusing this kind of stuff and for dark UX patterns to get you to subscribe to Uber One. I’m repeatedly asked SEVERAL TIMES EVERY TIME I USE THE APP. and there is no way to pause or opt out from this nagging. They even abuse the push notifications to try and sell me stuff as well.

Models like Llama 3 are trained on sixteen thousand GPUs, OpenAI probably 25k-100k GPUs. This is the kind of scale the sanctions make a lot harder to achieve.
> Apple RAM is expensive. Every other kind of RAM is pretty cheap. 32GB DDR4 can be had for under $30, and 16GB DDR4 can be had for about $25.

I'm sure that's pretty cheap for you, yes. Taxes and other fees tend to increase those prices outside the US, by the way.

> I'm not sure who you think has a computer, is developing software, and can't afford that.

There is a market for lightweight code editors, isn't there?

> Too bad if that's you, but "top 1%" is a laughable claim when RAM is so cheap.

That was a bit of hyperbole on my part, but let's not forget that just being an employed SWE in the US easily places you in the top 1% globally.

> I've used VSCode on a computer with 2GB of RAM, and it worked. I expected everything to run slower - and it did run slower, but it ran. And I developed, and contributed to the project I was working on while away from my workstation. This was a cheap $70 Windows 10 tablet. YMMV.

Fair enough. VSCode is hardly the worst offender though - it actually runs quite well for an Electron app.
Landslide? Electorally?
I'm not in a position to look up exactly when it was merged, but I'm pretty confident that shouldn't be needed anymore. The entry point on 19 should do the same restart juggling it does on Windows if the environment isn't correct for some other reason. I can double check later if you want to provide details.

I encountered the issue when our (not Ubuntu, not 24.04) LTS upstream backported security fixes that included the mmap changes without updating universe to include a clang version with the fixes. Any developers diligent enough to update and run sanitisers locally started seeing intermittent crashes.
Yes and no. UDP objectively performs better because it prioritizes sending relevant (in the context of real time application) data rather than retrying no longer relevant data (and all the overhead that entails).
> percent of population over 65

Yeah, Japan is at 29.6% today. China is at ~15% right now and is estimated to be at 26% by 2050.

That's not China in your link. It's Hong Kong, which has an older-skewing population.

Funny, I blocked notifications from the Uber and Lyft apps because they kept spamming me. And the notifications aren’t all that useful, since I’m actively checking the app whenever something time sensitive is happening anyway.

Location is super useful here, of course.
If they had nothing better to do then they’d fire half of them.
Northvolt is a good example of why it is not so simple to replicate China's success in lithium battery production.
Who said anything about value? I can argue the vast majority of human generated content is valueless - look at Quora and Medium even before ChatGPT blew up. Where else are humans producing this amazing content? Facebook? X? Don’t even get me started.

Being able to summarise multiple articles quicker than a human can read and digest a single one is obviously more productive. I’m not sure why you’re assuming I’m talking about rewriting the papers to produce slightly different variations? It’s a summary. Concerned about the lack of “insight” or something? Then add a workflow that takes the summaries and use your imagination - maybe ask it to find potential applications in completely different fields? You already have comprehensive summaries (or the full papers in a vector db). Am I missing something?

Also the quality of the summary will be linked to the prompts and the way you go about the process (one-shotting the full paper in the prompt, map reduce, semantically chunked summaries, what model you’re using, its context length etc) as well as your RAG setup. I’m still working on my implementation but it’s simple as fuck and pretty decent in giving me, well, summaries of papers.

I can’t articulate it well enough but your human curation argument sounds to me like someone dismissing Google because anyone can lie online, and the good old Yellow Pages book can never be wrong.
In the early 1990s a friend of mine ran a dial-up BBS. It was completely unmoderated (aside from spam), and ended up become a rather active board for (mostly black hat) hackers to post and trade information. My friend wasn't involved in any hacking directly - he simply ran the BBS which also hosted a bunch of doors (games) like TW2002 that were also quite popular. One day, a mutual friend of ours (who was an aspiring black hat hacker) got picked up by the FBI for a variety of phone phreaking offenses. During questioning, they asked him a bunch of questions about the BBS. As soon as he got out on bail, he relayed this information to my friend who ran the BBS. Needless to say, the BBS was shut down and all of the disks/hard drives trashed within an hour.

Thankfully there were never any legal implications for my friend with the BBS, but you can be damn sure there were quite a few sleepless nights subsequently as he waited for a knock on the door!
We had a similar rule for application support at my last job. Anyone who introduced an application was assigned as the support lead.
> The real criminal in this case is feds depriving fundamental civil rights under color of law.

The allegation is that this person made a veritable arsenal of pipe bombs and other explosives, with plausible domestic terrorism intent or inclinations.

The Second Amendment technicality you mention might come up in a legal defense, but I don't understand fixating on that as "the real criminal" here -- on a story of securing a very dangerous-sounding cache of pipe bombs, mishandled explosive material, etc.
I recently demoed one and the immersive feel is insanely realistic. I was blown away. At the same time, I’m not sure how I’d use it. I had hoped it could allow having a multi-screen virtual desktop anywhere. It could, sort of. But there is enough input lag to make a power user frustrated. And after 30 minutes I was tired of wearing it. I hope they keep working on it, though. Version 3 or 4 could be when it really takes off…
Not sure.
I ought to go back to the gym. Once you're there, you're glad you're went, and in daily life it's also quite pleasant to be physically and mentally healthier.

I'm starting uni in September. I'd like to really get a lot done in the remaining portion of my gap year. Not just the hard stuff (my project[0], revising maths and physics after a long break, etc), but also literature and reading.

I'm worried about AI. Really quite worried, actually. I get the sense that this forum is almost engaged in a collective exercise of cognitive dissonance to avoid the implications of the rapid progress that we're all so aware of.

It's funny, I chose a physics degree in part because I felt it would provide some security from AI, but that seems to be disappearing before I've even started it.

Really, though, I have done what I can. What else is there to do but wait and see? A New Year's resolution won't do anything about it.

So perhaps, instead, I should merely resolve to sleep. It's 1AM here and I'm on Hacker News!

Sonnet-3.5 seemed to churn out the best code, so I would default to that. If it got stuck in circular reasoning, 4o would usually resolve it. Then back to Sonnet.

> Unalloyed good or not, it's way better than where China is at

I'm not convinced. I don't think that population decline is necessarily worse than changing the cultural and ethnic makeup of your country. If anything, I think that a much stronger case can be made for the other perspective.

Anyway, fact is, things aren't that bad in China. We can see what China's demographic future looks like, because nations like Germany and Japan are forerunners in that regard.
Ansel slow and buggy, yes, "but you should have seen the other guy". Between the two my bet is on Ansel.
The one explosive they mention by name as "unstable" is actually a pretty professional primary for specialist applications. Easy to synthesize from common materials but not trivial for amateurs to make usable. In addition to being entirely unworkable as a main high-explosive it also tends to rapidly decompose (benignly) when in contact with many common metals and poor storage, so shelf-life can be an issue.
How to Manage Flaky Tests
Ha! Do you remember the panic induced by a rising Japan in the late 80's and early 90's.

The fear of the "Red Sun Rising".

The fear that Japan was going to own most of the valuable real estate in America.

The forcing of Japanese car companies to onshore to protect American jobs.

Blaming of Japanese industrial policy as being unfair competition.

It was the collapse of the Japanese growth engine in the mid 90's that finally ended the American panic.

The U.S. and U.K. are a dual world power.

Whenever powers rise to threaten that duality there is a lot of hand-wringing in Washington.
interconnection.fyi: Tracking US ISO and utility interconnection queues
What is an ISO, RTO, and/or non-ISO utility?

An Independent System Operator (ISO) or Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) is a non-profit organization that operates the high-voltage electric power transmission grid in a specific region, ensuring reliability and providing non-discriminatory access. ISOs and RTOs play a critical role in the electric power industry, helping to ensure that the grid is reliable and that electricity is delivered to consumers at a reasonable cost. Learn more about ISOs and RTOs here.A non-ISO utility is an electric utility that does not operate under the umbrella of an ISO or RTO. Non-ISO utilities are typically smaller utilities that operate in rural or remote areas, facing challenges such as meeting the same reliability standards as ISOs and RTOs, but without the same resources and economies of scale.

What is an interconnection queue?

An interconnection queue is a list of power generation and transmission projects that have requested to connect to the electric grid. The queue is managed by the grid operator, which is typically an independent system operator (ISO) or regional transmission organization (RTO).

Why is the interconnection queue important?

The interconnection queue is important because it ensures that new power generation and transmission projects can be safely and reliably connected to the grid. The grid operator reviews each project to assess its impact on the grid and to make sure that it will not compromise the reliability of the electric system. To learn more about interconnection queues, see this NPR Planet Money episode "Green Energy Gridlock" (https://www.npr.org/2023/05/16/1176462647/green-energy-trans...) and this article/podcast from Volts (https://www.volts.wtf/p/whats-the-deal-with-interconnection).

Is "let's just make a website?" a common thing people say? It sounds like the issue isn't with "make an API", it's with "just".
Maybe, but should the author really cater to people who can’t overcome a language barrier? They probably won’t understand the concept anyway.
It's definitely what I would consider the basic expectations for a build system (why would you even need root to compile an OS?), but it's not something that most non-embedded-focused distributions deliver.
I wonder what percentage of Rust users have significant experience with C. The difficulty curve of Rust was too high for me when I was coming from Python, but after doing HolyC and Zig, I find it fairly straightforward to conceptualize, though still difficult.

I've been working with real C today and have been having fun, but it's very different for me to step back into the C world again after working with more modern tools.
Amazingly thorough ! I love how the author leaves no stone unturned. I had no idea you could do the kind of low level efficiency shaving in Rust.
I wonder how a C++ implementation with https://github.com/jfalcou/eve would compare.

The actual charge here is a tax violation (failure to buy a stamp for a short barrel rifle). Not paying $200 in NFA taxes.

The precedent is based on a lie the gov itself accidently violated during surplus sales to the public. The precedent exists because the Supreme Court took up a case against a dead guy with no representation, as a poison pill. The state argued the military didn't use short barrel arms, which was a lie. No defense was there to contest it, and this it is now binding on total fiction.

Of course the most hilarious part is 'short barrel' anything was just a measure to ban pistols, which congress changed their mind on last minute and allowed pistols while forgetting to nix the law on creating pistols from long arms. This guy is charged for essentially violating a historical vestigial accident upheld by bogus precedent against an undefended dead guy.
> This is the kind of scale the sanctions make a lot harder to achieve

Harder and more expensive, but far from impossible. I doubt they pay more than doubles Nvidia's sticker price, all told. My comment was inspired by recent real-life events; Nvidia got into legal trouble in the last couple of months for turning a blind eye to questionable transactions - if you're curious about the mechanics of GPU sanctions-busting, read up on the governments accusations against Nvidia, and this was for low-hanging fruit.

The article has one analyst speculating they used tens of thousands of H100s (50,000 IIRC) instead of the 10,000 A100s the Deepseek CEO owns up to. They can afford to pay exorbitant markups for the logistical nightmare of importation through 3rd party countries at scale.

edit: AFAIK, the sanctions don't prevent Chinese AI labs from renting GPUs from any cloud provider. To simplify logistics, a shell company could avoid shipping the cards to the mainland by simply settings up a data center in not-China and give the parent company full access. I suppose the US government has to balance sanctions against Nvidia's share price, so they can't be too aggressive, there are just too many loopholes for demanded shock not to have been a consideration.
There are several ontologies already well built out. Utilities and pharma both have them as an example. They are built by committee of vendors and users. They take a bit to penetrate the approach and language used. Often they are built to be adaptable.

I’ve had good success with CIM for Utilities to build a network graph for modelling the distribution and transmission networks adding sensor and event data for monitoring and analysis about 15 years ago.

Anywhere there is a technology focussed consortium of vendors and users building standards you will likely find a prebuilt graph. When RDF was “hot” many of the these groups spun out some attempt to model their domain.

In summary, if you need one look for one. Maybe there’s one waiting for you and you get to do less convincing and more doing.
TLDR: Kernel wrote memory back to a pointer provided by the user-mode program, as it was supposed to do. Unfortunately, it was a dangling pointer (Use-after-free)

When the Kernel does the memory write, user-mode memory debuggers don't see it happen.
Verifying people after account loss/compromise is hard.

So which would you prefer:

(A) A low-level customer service representative can restore your access, but said representative is arguably susceptible to social engineering and other human weaknesses.

(B) Your account can be protected be physically 2FA key (yubikey), but on the case of loss/compromised account processes for recovery are hard to navigate and may not yield successful recovery?

In the case of (A) you have little security. In the case of (B) you can do a LOT to prevent account loss, but if bad things happen (whether your fault or not) you are locked out by default.

From a privacy point of view, I'm not sure that (B) is such a bad option.

You don't need to make aluminum foil at home because it's cheaper and higher quality to buy the mass produced version from Walmart.

For medications (and anything where artificial scarcity is created with IP), it can be cheaper to create the product at home instead of buying it. If homemade quality is 'good enough', that's a reasonable option.

For comparison, I make my own sauerkraut. The stuff at Walmart is fine, but it's cheaper and higher quality to make at home.

The same logic applies to lots of software.
Neither of those languages gives you portable SIMD. Rust is rapidly becoming the language of choice for high performance code.
I don't think that Python would be the right language for such low-level performance maxxing endeavor. I would have picked C++ but t was eye opening for me to see how rust enabled such low level optimization, so I'm grateful for the choice.
The problem with this is that it's not an AR experience. If 6DOF video streaming takes off, then Meta is going to explode selling $400 standalone headsets.

Apple doesn't seem to understand that they cannot rely on branding to compete in this segment. If you're going to sell VR at Macbook Pro prices, then you better be courting Macbook Pro customers and not casual iPhone owners.
What I was trying saying is that a lack of experience isn't some kind of unfair disadvantage that justifies making all our lives worse by using tools like this. Instead one could spend their time, I dunno, acquiring experience? There's plenty of OSS projects out there that could use help, and personal projects are always a great differentiator.
There is no substitute for cold hard facts. LLMs do not provide that unless it’s literally the easiest thing for them to do and even then not always.

In the case you were in I would go out of my way to feed the docs to the LLM and then use the LLM to interrogate the docs and then verify the understanding I got from the LLM with a personal reading of the docs that were relevant.

You might think it takes just as long of not longer to do it my way rather than just reading the docs myself. Sometimes it can. But as you get good at the workflow you find that the time sien finding the relevant docs goes down and you get an instant plausible interpretation of the docs added too. You can then very quickly produce application code right away and then docs of the code you write.
> In October, The Information's Wayne Ma reported that Apple had abruptly reduced production of the Vision Pro headset ahead of potential plans to stop making the current version of the device completely by the end of 2024. With the year now coming to an end, this means that the device may no longer be in active production.

lmao great article

The quality of the summary is only as good as the effort you put into writing your workflow. If you’re simply one shotting the paper into a message and saying “plz summarise this and I’ll reward you with $1m” then of course it’s gonna be shit. But if you semantically chunked along sections and do some RAG Q&A summaries before combining into a well formatted schema then it’s probably going to be better than the first way.

I’m using the summaries as a juicier abstract. I’m not taking them as gospel.

I’m working on following references to then add those papers to a vector db for RAG so it can actually go the step beyond. It’s fun!
> I just communicated why the market leak theory is both more intuitive, and more probable.

No, you didn't, you stated that it was.

The rest of your post makes sense as an explanation. Maybe lead with that next time instead of condescendingly telling people that they're politically motivated, stupid, or whatever else you meant to imply by calling it a conspiracy theory.

COVID-19, at least in the US, has been an enormous failure in science communication, and being condescending towards those who already feel alienated by the terrible communication isn't going to help.
It's definitely very much closer to a complete game engine than a library like LOVE and heavily leans on OOP.
