OpenAI have openly stated that o1 & o3 are using test time compute, and released a log scale graph indicating linear performance gains for exponential compute usage.

https://openai.com/index/learning-to-reason-with-llms/

They only confirm that the model/system is doing chain of thought, but the exponential factor and origin of reasoning gains likely comes from TREE of thoughts (number of branches/compute goes up exponentially with depth), essentially doing tree search over different reasoning chains.

I assume roon's identity is well known inside OpenAI (he's an employee), so I wouldn't expect him to be leaking implementation details on twitter.
In a variety of places, I've read about studies (yeah, I know) concluding that we benefit from exercise, but the greatest benefit comes from what I would consider to be a really tiny amount. Beyond that point, you might be getting stronger, but won't necessarily be measurably healthier.

According to studies.

I'm like, yeah, right. I think part of the problem is that there's a public health angle, which is that you have to come up with guidelines that people will actually follow. Those are what get printed in the paper.

On the other hand, I'm not taking my chances. While my doctor congratulates me on how much exercise I'm getting, I'm still striving for more.
But market efficiency blah blah blah market efficiency !
I'll be using OpenAI's logo for my next project. I found it on the open internet, after all ...
Congratulations on getting Matz to tweet about your post.
Was it working in the original DOOM though? I don't remember any more.
Ask HN: How do I learn data journalism?
I have had a career in BI engineering for over a decade and I would like to use my skills for good. One of the fields I think I could do some good in is data journalism and investigations. How do I get started in this field?
I guess that would depend on execution. If your password manager uses strong encryption and you also use MFA for it (a yubikey for example), I imagine it isn’t all that less secure. Your point still stands, however.
I'm usually neutral on suburban hellscape buyers, but it's getting ridiculous. It made more sense to me I guess when 1/4 acre lots were standard. But these...man. The houses appear to be just a few feet from each other, and the yards are utterly pointless.

I can't believe I find myself saying this, but it would have been much nicer to just build nice condos in the middle, and use the rest as shared greenspace.
So if there is content behind a paywall and someone posts it on reddit, it's "publicly available"? Sounds like piracy with extra steps.
A couple of spicy things:

> OtterTune. Dana, Bohan, and I worked on this research project and startup for almost a decade. And now it is dead. I am disappointed at how a particular company treated us at the end, so they are forever banned from recruiting CMU-DB students. They know who they are and what they did.

Ouch.

> Lastly, I want to give a shout-out to ByteBase for their article Database Tools in 2024: A Year in Review. In previous years, they emailed me asking for permission to translate my end-of-year database articles into Chinese for their blog. This year, they could not wait for me to finish writing this one, so they jocked my flow and wrote their own off-brand article with the same title and premise.

Also sounds like he's preparing a new company:

The JS part is nowhere to be seen, I guess they used the assistant to create the layout, but not the actual DOOM integration part (?) Even then, that chat gets pretty painful to read after a while... Paraphrasing, but that's the gist of it: "center the text in the button", "you didn't center it, center the text", "please please center the text"...
Lots of people deliberately avoid Microsoft technologies and their whole ecosystem. There's of course interesting stuff happening there, but not enough for those outside the ecosystem to care.

It's more a cultural thing than anything else. HN for example largely leans away from MS. It's quite interesting how little overlap there is between the two worlds sometimes.

Speaking as one of those people, it's just not my thing, so it's not on my radar at all. There's enough stuff happening outside MS to keep me busy forever.
There were even an Zelda attempt with smooth scrolling...
it's too hard, I bet only bot can accomplish this
But if the issue is about "research in AI has had to deal with the concept of "concept" since the inception" (and of course it had to), the contribution in this paper is to try an operational implementation that could bear fruit and possibly fix architectural shortcomings of the mainstream effort.

(It is not separate from the context of LLMs.)
And those people get promoted entirely of the luck of having a decent manager. Everyone else who has a mediocre manager will end up spinning their wheels and wondering why they're not getting promoted.
There is currently no reason to believe quantum computers will make breaking symmetric encryption like AES-256 any more practical than it is today. At best, grovers algorithm can modestly reduce the search time for brute forcing, but it's still brute force.

Asymmetric algorithms like RSA are the ones you should be worrying about, and I can't imagine any reason someone would do disk encryption with an asymmetric algorithm.
I hear you, and ironically I'm actually already in the target demographic of willing to pay for software I use and enjoy. Then again, I find that I am often an outlier in the "lengths folks will go to for good experiences" camp

Anyway, at this moment in my life I don't have the emotional energy to launch this project, but if someone does then please tag me and let me know

This project seems especially ripe for success because it doesn't need product market fit, it doesn't need requirements gathering, it just needs execution and a non-retarded bug tracking product
Of course. My point is, probably a super cheap LLM that does not cut you off after 1500th API request of the day is preferred over the free model that does so, at least for certain use cases.

cause the risk isnt in hackers hacking your password manager
If useful to this crowd. I use keepassx, I made a way to easily print off key passwords along with their instructions:

https://github.com/kardianos/safekeysheet

It could be modified to also print out the otp as well if stored.
I'm really excited about Bazzite. I see a variety of devices that are varying levels of compatibility. All are about $500 on eBay. Has anyone found a less expensive device on Alibaba that can go lower than that?

Or, is this worth experimenting with using a different type of hardware entirely, say a touchscreen laptop, etc?
It's weird that you think there is a significant number of people who would punch a nazi or a tankie but not also punch a pedophile.

I've read a lot of pro fascist speech arguments on HN, but "we should treat them with the dignity and respect we afford child-fuckers" is definitely a new one on me.
That's totally fine as long as you train a diffusion model on the OpenAI logo and then prompt the model to generate an image that just coincidentally happens to look exactly like the OpenAI logo. If an AI model made it then it's automatically not plagiarism.

Important to note that not all password managers are equal. Using Apple’s built-in password manager is more secure because it is inherently tied to your biometrics and authentication is hardware-based, i.e Secure Enclave. This is categorically different from web services like Bitwarden or 1Password authenticated by login email and 2FA codes. Even if someone got into your Apple ID they still would be unable to view or sync your passwords without biometrics.
It took me 3 retries. I’ve forgotten how to strafe and just moved a bit to the right…
Doing it properly is the key part I think a lot of people miss.

People often skip out on actually assuming responsibility for their data and accounts. A backup system should be in place and ensuring their 2FA codes are not lost with their device is part of that taking on responsibility.
> Hard-Boiled Wonderland

The English translation of a second book in the same universe (well, one of the two universes) was just released---The City and Its Uncertain Walls. I've only just started reading it, though, so I can't offer any commentary beyond that.

If you like Murakami, you might like Convenience Store Woman or Earthlings, both by Sayaka Murata. Mieko
Kawakami is also great. Killing Commendatore (by Murakami, again) is my favorite of his. I have no idea why it's my favorite, though. To be honest I can barely remember the plot of any of his books; it's just a feeling.
> But neither of these is a good argument for why the data should be kept together

The argument is "because many people, if they can't keep the data together, will elect not to use 2FA at all if given a choice."
Instead of asking for a formula, a better test may be to point out all the seeming contradictions in physics at that time (constancy of the speed of light, wave vs. particle nature of light, ultraviolet catastrophe), and ask it how they could be resolved.
Using 1Password requires me to use one of my devices to add a device to my account.

If someone has my password and my device how will a separate app help me in this case?

Honest question as the 1password model seems to be “something you know and something you have”.
Open Office will never print on Tuesdays (2009)
I read through the chat but it's all nitpicking about layout and there doesn't seem to be any point where DOOM is actually inserted. I don't understand, did the author get the AI to do the easy part and then code the hard part by themselves?
> Was it working in the original DOOM though? I don't remember any more.

By default it was the arrow keys for movement and <> for turning with CTRL as fire. But you could re-map the keys and after a few years quite a lot of people did.
very easy to build an aimbot. i think its entertaining but to be used as real captcha you need a variety of challenging games but at the risk of turning away many humans, which will ironically open up a market for more such decaptcha services
Which is precisely why it's irresponsible to give people the rope to hang themselves with by supporting 2FA seeds in password managers (much less telling them it's a good idea), IMO.

People take the path of least resistance; we know this. It's why, for the longest time, people used one password for everything. People don't like using password managers, either, but we would all agree that it's unacceptably insecure to not use them, because the alternative is "one password used everywhere, maybe with a single varying digit on the end".

Yes, and HuggingFace have published this outlining some of the potential ways to use TTC, including but not limited to tree search, showing TTC performance gains from LLama.

D-Day was necessary because Nazi storm troopers in the early 1930s weren’t opposed enough.

Pedophiles generally aren’t advocating for an overthrow of the system and putting non-pedophiles in death camps.

The ones on the registry have already been caught and punished, too. We have no such public registry of Nazis.

This is the first response that I got from Claude with an exact copy and paste of the question:

Let me think about this step by step:

1. We're comparing two masses:
* Steel ingots: 9.99 pounds
* Cotton: 10.01 pounds

2. The cotton bag has a mass of 10.01 pounds, while the steel bag has a mass of 9.99 pounds

3. While steel is much denser than cotton (meaning it takes up less space per pound), this doesn't affect the weight - a pound is a pound regardless of material

4. 10.01 is greater than 9.99 by 0.02 pounds

Therefore, the 10.01-pound bag of fluffy cotton is heavier than the 9.99-pound bag of steel ingots. The cotton may take up much more space, but when we're just comparing weights, density doesn't matter - only the mass does.
Like the old Cray supercomputers that were immersed in liquid freon?
Good advice in this article. Keeping TOTP in a good password manager removes risk of making mistakes with the codes by tying it to the same auth sequence as the password. The assurance that the codes are securely stored, easy to use and to establish on a new trusted device lets services be used confidently which don’t allow vulnerable bypassing of credentials with easily purchased proofs (SSNs, street address etc.)

Backing up TOTP seeds encrypted is a good idea if you know what you’re doing.

It is a security-improving move when humans are factored in, not a trade-off between security and convenience.
The article talks about how people's immune systems can get synced to the first flu they encounter. Coincidentally, the latest issue of Science has a paper finding that genetics is a more important factor than first exposure in determining which flu strain a person's immune system can fight best.

Not very accessible.
That depends entirely on whether you opt to do the compare by code or key. E.g. in JS KeyboardEvent.code == "KeyW" may resolve true even though KeyboardEvent.key == "W" may resolve false because the user is on AZERTY or what have you.
For the normal borrowed-from-French idiom, yes, but somehow I don't mind both English words with their normal definitions sitting there.
Best I read in 2024:

"I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom"

Highly recommend it to folks, especially if you enjoy Pargin's other works ("John Dies at the End", "Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits"). I am continually in awe at how he is evolving as a writer.

His characterizations and insights convey a unique and profound interest in the world we live in, and it’s clear he takes great care in understanding others and what makes them who they are.

It'll make you rethink some of your relationships / reactions to the current world (social media, other humans, etc.).
My favorite book is Deep Work by Cal Newport
> it's not a truth universally acknowledged. I don't see what good it does

It keeps people from taking the law into their own hands. We can debate the merits of retribution, but not that it’s a seemingly-innate part of human nature. (It’s an open question if we can condition it out of ourselves. But that’s pretty serious social engineering that, to my knowledge, no society has achieved. We aren’t bonobos.)

> If retribution only benefits the injured party and not the state, and if I'm the injured one and don't want it, can I opt out of it?

Our sense of retribution is more than transactional. There is a perception of collective harm that’s explicit in our system of public prosection—it’s the people versus a criminal, not the victim.
If the LLM is trained on accurate medical data and you provide accurate symptoms data, then the LLM can be a useful tool to output the information in a human-readable way.

This is not a diagnosis. Any reasonably capable person can read webmd and apply the symptoms listed and compare them to what the patient describes. This is widely regarded as dangerous because the input data as well as the patient data are limited in ways that can be medically relevant.

So even if you can use it as a good substitute for browsing webmd, it’s still not a substitute for seeing a medical professional. And for the foreseeable future it will not be.
interesting but not sure what the value add here is, it gives you a graph flow of all the API requests being made? and then the goal is to replay them?

aren't there github libraries that do this already?
I basically agree with everything you say here, I guess my chief concern surrounds reducing brain rot, and I mostly just worry that we will only increase brain rot through uncritical application of LLMs, rather than decrease it.

At least there is one silver lining: your comments are evidence that not everyone has suffered that brain rot, and some of us are still out there using tools critically—thanks for a good conversation on this!
I'm sorry this happened to you, but it highlights another very important factor. Don't keep all keys to the kingdom on one person. Always divide and conquer. Keep power distributed between multiple people. I worked at a company of 500+ people, and I'm sure the CEO didn't have access to all the IT people's stuff. They only cared that everything works and meet their quarterly goals. Shall the IT person feel like sabotaging stuff, there are distributed backups and mainly the fine print in the work contract preventing that.

I know this doesn't necessarily apply to smaller companies and startups, but have lawyers write you strong contracts that aren't one-sided, but are full of protections for both sides, if they aren't sabotaging stuff.
The article's answer to this seems to be:

1) over the last 20 years H5N1 has spread from birds to minks and cows and in the last few months also to pigs

2) pigs in particular are hosts to both human and bird viruses, so they're a likely place for an H5N1 virus to do the reassortment with a human flu virus that might make it become human to human transmissible

3) but nonetheless, today is still not that much different -- the risk now is only a little elevated from the baseline ~5% risk of some pandemic flu breaking out that we might get in any year
> Taking actions that indicate preparation for violent action

The contradiction is that that’s literally the content and purpose of the 2A of the US Constitution. It’s not the right to bear arms for hunting deer, or the right to go target shooting. The language is pretty explicit, if it isn’t clear enough the founders took the time to explain the purpose of it in the Federalist Papers after they fought an armed revolution against their own government.

My take on unstable people is that if you’re not stable enough to own guns you’re not stable enough to participate in society. If the person in this case made credible threats, they should charge him with a crime other than possession of a firearm accessory. There are plenty of other ways that deranged people hurt others (Like driving a vehicle into a christmas market). The only way we can claim to live in a free society is by maintaining a system of due process.
>This was created with Vercel's AI assistant "v0"

"with" is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. I skimmed the log and so far as I can tell, the only thing that the AI assistant did was design the UI. It didn't implement the actual game. This might sound impressive, but aside from adding minor bits of interaction (eg. a button that shows "loading" for a few seconds), there's little difference functionality-wise from a drag-and-drop UI designer like winforms (and its predecessor, visual basic, which existed in the 90s).
> If 1000 years is dangerous, why not 80?

Yes. This is why a thousand years probably isn’t dangerous.
Many things require an act of Congress when Congress bothers to act.
> People take the path of least resistance; we know this

If you remove the ability to store 2FA codes in password managers, the path of least resistance becomes "people don't use 2FA at all".
Companies don’t work until they do. Thats the new mentality anyway. And you don’t get a Series C with SVB involvement if you’re not working at some level.

I’m familiar with them. Through M&A activity and debt consolidation / refi. Like visiting a proctologist dentist and then having a colonoscopy while your accountant’s scrolling through quickbooks questioning every line item out loud while the nurse is asking how many copies of keys to your house you have.

Count the number of companies that wouldn’t be here today if they had their loan called at any given point.
I myself and surrounded by early adopters - none have moved to this - it's cumbersome and uninteresting in general. Let's hope for a "glasses form factor" in the future.

> no matter how long people live, they cannot imagine many years in the future, even if it's their own future

Care to substantiate that claim? Modern history flies straight in the face of it, from savings to childbirth rates correlating negatively with longevity.

To be clear: I’m not suggesting longer healthspans are a panacea. We are amply capable of screwing it up, e.g. by entrenching powerful people. But dynasties and aristocracies already exist. For every great builder of fortunes there are a hundred squanderers, even in the same lifetime. And despite it all, there is something to be said for age granting wisdom for most all the way up to senility, which an extended healthspan should forestall.
What about a Map<int, String>?

You can't really encode a tree structure with only linear semantics (without at least something like s-expressions).
And to those who ignore any warnings. After all, there's a middle ground between ignoring it completely and complete panic.
I'm not familiar with the expert they consulted, but the claim that "The main advantage of 2FA is that it is much more difficult to gain access to your accounts via phishing attacks" is just plain false.

TOTP or SMS-2FA are obviously phishable, if you just entered your password into a phishing site, why wouldn't you also enter a TOTP code? I usually point to Modlishka as a practical example (https://vimeo.com/308709275) to help visualize this.

In fact, the main (claimed) advantage of 2FA is that it prevents "Credential Stuffing" of reused passwords. I personally don't think TOTP (or similar) are a good solution to this problem at all, but this is a thorny issue.
Sports and programming just aren't comparable. Some finnish student wrote the linux kernel my man, while living with his parents.
Almost all projects I see that use Next.js or React or Vue or any other heavy frontend framework/library would be better off just using a library to template things on the backend (For example Jinja). Sometimes a bit of client side rendering via EJS also makes sense.

Why use a framework at all?
Germany manages to do so just fine. It's virtually impossible to obtain hydrogen peroxide in enough high concentration and volume to produce significant amounts of TATP without setting off more than a few alerts.

Almost all popular precursor chemicals for drugs and explosives are heavily controlled in Europe.

What I wish I knew earlier
I personally loved "The Gene : An intimate history". I thought genes were hardcoded code that is needed sometime during life creation and once the cells specialized, they are done.

The cells are computer that operated on proteins, the input is protein being present and output is specific protein that does specific job.
