ChatGPT sounds like that because that's what vapid feel-good corporate copy reads like, and there are mountains of it churned out by humans.
While I agree, isn't this a degree of victim blaming? They were hacked by a state actor and every thread ignores the elephant in the room.
Which service/LLM performed the best for you?
Speaking of little known shows in their own country becoming iconic outside,

Are Germans aware how popular the "Didi's Comedy Show" was in India during the 80s?

I grew up with that show and still crack up at Didi's antics.
Yeah, a key thing to understand about LLMs is that managing the context is everything. You need to know when to wipe the slate by starting a new chat session and then pasting across a subset of the previous conversation.

A lot of my most complex LLM interactions take place across multiple sessions - and in some cases I'll even move the project from Claude 3.5 Sonnet to OpenAI o1 (or vice versa) to help get out of a rut.

It's infuriatingly difficult to explain why I decide to do that though!
Indeed, much like the pending AMD Strix Halo and already chipping AMD MI300A.

Much like dual socket servers, where each socket can address all memory, these new servers have two memory systems, one optimized for CPU and another optimized for GPU. Seems like a good idea to me, why serial/deserialize complex data structures between the CPU and GPU, which are then bulk transfered, and then checked for completion. With NUMA you can pass a pointer, caches help, everything is coherent, and it "just works". No more failures when you don't have enough memory for textures or a LLM, it would just gracefully page to the CPUs memory.
GTA III was recently remastered so this isn’t strictly true that it has no impact on Rockstar at all.
> US economy being the strongest in decades

The vast majority of its people do not share in that success and have seen a declining standard of life relative to prior generations whereas in China, the opposite is quite demonstrably true, despite increasingly similar concentrations of wealth and political power.
It is. Comparatively it is even very common in most of the Anglosphere, however not for lack of trying by more ethical journalists. If you search for "the juvenile suspect" on google news, you'll get plenty of hits for US newspapers (and occasionally police) applying some consideration.

In the west, English speaking countries are the odd ones out: For example in Germany, Poland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, and France, identifying suspects (not just juvenile ones) is either uncommon or even forbidden by law.

Approximately 2/3s of homes in the US are owner occupied.
Author of the post here. Yes, AI did help me frame it because I am an average write at best. I have never been a good writer while I have a few experiences to share. I never shared anything earlier exactly because of that reason. AI helps me put my thoughts into a coherent structure.
Why? Not like there's a single memory channel. Keeping the memory controller busy with tons of pending requests is a great way to make use of a large fraction of the total memory bandwidth. The M2 Ultra has 32 or 64 memory channels, a cache line pending for each would allow good bandwidth utilization.
Do they pay too little or have big tech monopolies distorted the market with their firehoses of cash? Bit of both?
Both major app stores have similar ads. I don't see the difference. Maybe they could provide a URL and QR code and go straight to the site without depending on third parties.

Thats been my experience also. The tooling for Zephyr is pretty lousy, especially configuration. Kconfig hell.
Doesn't C++ already support everything you need here? It supports the noexcept keyword which should have been used in the interface to this syscall. That would have prevented throwing callbacks from being used at compile time. My guess is that this is a much older syscall than noexcept though.

I read the article and thought it was well done and level-headed. What exactly did you think was mystical or magical thinking?
I had the exact same thought when I was transitioning into an employee and have been wanting to write this post for a long a time. I hope to share more details in a few follow up posts soon.
If nothing else, I'm genuinely curious which performs the best over the long-term.

Time to add some side wagers and bet on different models.
>don’t ask a language model to diagnose your medical condition

Honestly they are very decent at it if you give them accurate information in which to make the diagnosis. The typical problem people have is being unable to feed accurate information to the model. They'll cut out parts they don't want to think about or not put full test results in for consideration.

>before they get blacked

...Please don't phrase it like that.
I can't confirm it because the descriptions of the hack are unclear but if more network operators say they've been hacked it is more and more likely the Chinese got in by attacking lawful intercept. This could happen in various ways: bribe or blackmail someone in law enforcement with access to a lawful intercept management system (LIMS), a supply chain attack on an LIMS vendor, hacking the authentication between networks and LIMS, etc.

If it is an LI attack the answer to which networks are compromised is: All of them that support automated LI.

That's a nasty attack because LI is designed to not be easily detectable because of worries about network operators knowing who is being tapped.
You can easily add some user input with Forms and with some setup you can get SSO and require Google auth to the Forms and Sheets. You can also throw up some async jobs in Google Cloud Run functions.

I automated some IT processes this way. These were tasks that were already a bit manual (like on/off boarding hires) and needed flexible workflows but would be helped with automation.

When the scale is small it can be a nice little toolbox.
I wrote custom software for that! https://tools.simonwillison.net/render-markdown - If you paste in some Markdown with ## section headings in it the output will start with a <ul> list of links to those headings.
They do go into some detail of the steps involved. Basically, it seems as though the system unravels itself, going from simple things to more complex.
If they support aoa and other ultra modern ble features they have to expose the raw IQ samples to a higher layer for dsp.

That's not the same as full control since you have to trigger it using gfsk anyway but there's other MCUs with granular radio control (RSL15 for example) that do allow for direct iq manipulation at the cost of skipping the hardware MAC which apparently everyone buys from CEVA as far as I can tell.
Just like Microsoft's latest batch of Flight Simulator games, I'd love if there was a version of this for creating race tracks out of real areas in the world.
>... this isn't strictly true that it has no impact on Rockstar at all.

You're right, but you're right because you're arguing against a statement/point I never made. :)

There's "next to no loss" (I did choose my words carefully...) because people will continue to buy the remastered versions for the consoles they were released for. The only segment of people Rockstar may or may not lose out to are the people who are going to go to the effort to port this to an old, defunct console (one that Rockstar doesn't even see profitability in, since they don't have a version for it), but even then this project requires a legally purchased copy of the game in order to get started.

So now we're into a fun legal/moral area of, "I've purchased this game legally, and I've purchased this console legally, and now I would like to use both together".
For Dreamcast?
If you believe (as many HNers do, although certainly not me) that LLMs have intelligence and awareness then you necessarily must also believe that the LLM is lying (call it hallucinating if you want).
> I use YouTube in Incognito mode
It is great! But also very verbose, it would make it. Much easier if there had been a "condense" step.
Why do people have such narrow views on what makes LLMs useful? I use them for basically everything.

My son throwing an irrational tantrum at the amusement park and I can't figure out why he's like that (he won't tell me or he doesn't know himself either) or what I should do? I feed Claude all the facts of what happened that day and ask for advice. Even if I don't agree with the advice, at the very least the analysis helps me understand/hypothesize what's going on with him. Sure beats having to wait until Monday to call up professionals. And in my experience, those professionals don't do a better job of giving me advice than Claude does.

It's weekend, my wife is sick, the general practitioner is closed, the emergency weekend line has 35 people in the queue, and I want some quick half-assed medical guidance that while I know might not be 100% reliable, is still better than nothing for the next 2 hours? Feed all the symptoms and facts to Claude/ChatGPT and it does an okay job a lot of the time.

I've been visiting Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner for a week now and my symptoms are indeed reducing. But TCM paradigm and concepts are so different from western medicine paradigms and concepts that I can't understand the doctor's explanation at all. Again, Claude does a reasonable job of explaining to me what's going on or why it works from a western medicine point of view.

Want to write a novel? Brainstorm ideas with GPT-4o.

I had a debate with a friend's child over the correct spelling of a Dutch word ("instabiel" vs "onstabiel"). Google results were not very clear. ChatGPT explained it clearly.

Just where is this "useless" idea coming from? Do people not have a life outside of coding?
There are not many mathematicians on Tao's level to put it mildly. And evidently, lots of people care lol. Yes people are interested in what an expert has to say about a potential advancement in their field. This shouldn't be hard to grasp.

You should give these docs a skim, I'd be curious what your thoughts are. I used to sympathize with Snowden (and Assange) until I read into what actually went down.

I hear you but we're not asking anyone to be free of ideological assumptions—just to avoid denunciatory rhetoric, internet indignation tropes, name-calling, etc., in comments here. That's not hard, assuming you've read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and want to use HN in the intended spirit.

Btw, the reason for asking to avoid these things is not that there's anything intrinsically wrong with them. It's just that they evoke worse from others and put the threads into a doom spiral. That's the default outcome on the internet, so we're pretty proactive about trying to avoid it. If you find HN interesting enough to be here, then it's in your interest to contribute to that intention, since the default outcome (a.k.a. scorched earth) won't be interesting to anybody.

I can't stand these one like twitter-style bitchposts. It already starts off obnoxious and sarcastic, and for what, defending Rockstar from the evils of Dreamcast homebrew?
Doesn’t dissuade me at all, that’s a really neat service. I’m not American though, and even if my own country had a similar service I still enjoying tuning the results to focus on what I’m interested in. And it was just an example of the kinds of computer-human interfaces that are newly possible from this technology.

Anytime you have data and want it explained in a casual way — and it’s not mission critical to be extremely precise — LLMs are going to be a good option to consider.

More useful AGI-like behaviours may be enabled by combining LLMs with other technologies down the line, but we shouldn’t try to pretend that LLMs can do everything nor are they useless.
what's the engineering situation at OpenAI since the whole "firing Sam Altman" spectacle? Has there been significant brain drain that affects something like o1 etc?
For the most part, the "have a friend at Google" doesn't help anymore. They even tell us googlers to use the external process when our account gets locked.

I have a question for the floor - given the worsening situation with technological unemployment, and the structural inability of capitalism to cope with it (who will buy the products when nobody has a job?), is it possible that China will be able to pivot to UBI and push on ahead? they have enormous control over the population and economy, so they might be able to change direction faster than the West?
Even if the post accurately reflects your lived experience, if it's AI generated, ultimately it is just that, generated by an AI, who is not you. People can smell that from a mile away, and they dislike it. (as they should!)

Get over your anxiety over your writing and just share your authentic self. How good or bad a writer you are doesn't really matter. (like OK it has to be legible but beyond that no one is expecting perfection)

It's whether the story you're telling, the experience you're sharing etc is thought provoking that matters.
The optical drive emulators are great but sad: being able to play games with original disks is half the fun, IMO
Yes people have lives outside of coding, but most people are able to manage without having AI software intercede in as much of their lives as possible.

It seems like you trust AI more than people and prefer it to direct human interaction. That seems to be satisfying a need for you that most people don't have.

I think the part where he calls out airline apps is spot on though. They don't need any of that tech.
Somehow real estate has become so expensive everywhere that owning a shitty apartment is impossible for the vast majority.

That's to be expected when governments forbid people from building housing. The only thing I find surprising is when people blame this on "capitalism".

Show HN: dorm: Django wrapper that lets you use its ORM in standalone manner
dorm is a lightweight wrapper around Django that provides a minimal interface to its ORM. This package allows you to quickly integrate Django's powerful ORM into your project with minimal configuration—simply add a settings.py file to the project root and you're ready to start using it.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/dorm-project/
Source: https://github.com/daadu/dorm

Give me feedback, if you do give it a try.

## Motivation
I’ve always been a big fan of the Django ORM, especially its features like automatic schema migrations and the ability to perform joins without writing raw SQL.

Over time, I’ve used it outside of full Django projects whenever I needed to interact with a database. Given the richness of Django’s ORM, I found other standalone ORMs (like SQLAlchemy) to be lacking in comparison. During these experiences, I kept wondering: what if I could use just the ORM, without the need for manage.py, views.py, urls.py, or any unnecessary entries in settings.py?

That’s how the idea for this project was born.
There's a clear agenda with this article. I'm all for website wrapping apps being websites again. But I'm definitely sick of websites that should be apps. And I'd use a native app any day over a bloated website masquerading as an app, especially on desktop.
I do have fond memories of batch files, though. I showed my classmates that it only took two lines of batch to make the school library's computers open their disk drives every hour.
In the absence of VM extensions, which the earliest AMD64 CPUs did not have, once the CPU is in long mode, the base address of segments other than FS and GS doesn't work, it must be 0.

That's not such a problem for 32-bit segments whose base is normally 0 anyway (flat 32), but most 16-bit protected mode Windows code expects the linear address of its code and data segments to be something other than 0, and even might expect to be able to use multiple data segments with different base addresses.

So, sure, you can run 16-bit protected mode code with a base address of 0, but that's not very useful.

Also there's no virtual 8086 mode when in long mode to support real mode code.

With VM extensions it's possible to virtualize the CPU in regular (not long) mode, at which point the virtualized CPU will indeed support non-zero segment base addresses and virtual 8086 mode.

In theory this can be done with an extremely light virtual machine layer, but the entry/exit to/from the 16-bit code, or even for that matter any code needing to use 16-bit data segments is going to require more than it would if the CPU weren't in long mode. And this is assuming you have virtual mode extensions. If you don't then you need a CPU emulator.

My guess is that Microsoft felt it just wasn't worth writing all of this extra code needed to do this. There's a big difference between technically possible and makes even remote economic sense to do it.
Not just totally aligned, but also "just-in-time" and ephemeral: an LLM goes and does/builds it on request, and then destroys all artifacts when the request has been fulfilled?

If the persistence of something incurs a cost in storage and security, and the traditional penalties of efficiency and learning-curves are removed, why not recreate it every time its needed?
There are about 8 billion human intelligences walking around right now and they've got no idea how to begin making even a stupid AGI, let alone a superhuman one. Where does the idea that 100 more are going to help come from?
Fair point. The US Federal Government certainly hasn't had any moral qualms with shadowy assassination plots, to say nothing of blatantly covering up illegal, geneva-convention-violating murders conducted by US Federal Government employees in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.
A legitimate question for me would be is documentation made to be read or to be written and what is the appropriate trade-off in energy invested? I might write a one off email to an individual, a email to a big audience or a presentation to the board. All three get different levels of attention. From little, to there are layers to this text nobody would expect (perhaps mostly for my enjoyment).
Nah. CLR/JVM/WASM are the same pipe dream of a universal architecture/shared-compute utopia.

But I think you have the wrong take on “reusability”. Every non-software engineering project is an exercise in custom solutions as well. The reusable parts are the tools and materials. Likewise in software engineering the languages, OSes, protocols, libraries, design patterns, and frameworks are the reusable bits. Code is how we describe how it all fits together, but a huge amount of what it takes to run a system is being constantly reused, much bigger than the code we write to implement it.

I've never really used Claude for writing code, becuase I'm not really bottlenecked by that problem. I have used it quite a bit for asking questions about what code to write and it's almost always wrong (usually in subtle ways that would trick someone with little experience).

Maybe it was overtrained on react sources, but for me it's pretty useless.

The big annoyance for me is it just makes up APIs that don't exist. While that's useful for suggesting to me what APIs I should add to my own code, it's really pointless if I ask a question like "using libfoo how do I bar" and it tells me "call the doBar() function" which does not exist.

The biggest reason I'm not worried about prices going back up again is Llama. The Llama 3 models are really good, and because they are open weight there are a growing number of API providers competing to provide access to them.

These companies are incentivized to figure out fast and efficient hosting for the models. They don't need to train any models themselves, their value is added entirely in continuing to drive the price of inference down.

Groq and Cerberus are particularly interesting here because WOW they serve Llama fast.
