I think it's much easier for Apple to sort out their AI and add this to iPhone than it is for OpenAI to figure out an entire mobile ecosystem where Apple has a ~15 year headstart and use their AI in it.

I agree Siri isn't good, but adding good AI into the existing ecosystem is clearly where the market is headed, and I don't think it will be long before Apple gets there.
I don't know much about Britain's historical usage of bronze alloys, but I would be surprised if Britain used all that much arsenic bronze at all because Cornwall has some of of the largest and oldest tin mines in the world. But of course mining and metal processing in general has tons of nasty things besides just arsenic.
Interesting note: they don't market it as AI. They market it as Apple Intelligence. I think this is deliberate. So it seems they've already taken your advice (albeit with the 'wink' of using the same initials).

The 10x figure is made up. We don't know if or by how much the TPU ecosystem is cheaper than Nvidia.

Firstly, the h100 margin number appears to be looking purely at the manufacturing cost vs sale price. Where are amortised driver, software stack and design costs in that? Nvidia has won because of the strength of the CUDA stack, including their uniform driver codebase which isn't free to develop.

The cost of a tpu or GPU isn't simply in the hardware costs. Google has to maintain an entire parallel software ecosystem as well. Then we can assume Nvidia is spreading design costs over many clients including gamers and the console industry as well, whereas Google isn't.

It might well still be a saving for Google because Nvidia is making bank right now, but if it was actually easy to replace these chips with in house designs and software stacks then all the big cloud companies would be doing it. They're trying, but so far those projects haven't worked out.
Most 'normal' dollars are already electronic. No need for a blockchain just for that.

Bitcoin (and all other blockchain currencies together) are small fry compared to the regular financial system, and eg banks' reserve accounts at the Fed. At least at the moment.

I'm not sure the US would be so hostile to bitcoin and crypto in general, if they wanted to move people to it? Here in Singapore our regulations are much more crypto friendly.

Btw, there's some technology in the works to make blockchain currencies much, much harder to trace. But people haven't really taken it up so far.

There are lots of “companies” like this.

Easy? You've lived in each of those places for more than a year around 2015 and around now? Physically impossible.

My second homebase is in one of the countries you named. I can tell you that not even 10% of the population would agree with you. Across the political spectrum. No idea that you're basing it on. Crumbling infrastructure, housing worse than Canada, ever increasing problems with immigration.

The US I could potentially agree with, it is the outlier, though debatable.

Ireland I talked about.

Norway is laughable to bring up, sorry. Might as well bring up Saudi Arabia.

If you'd been to Poland and Greece you'd know they're nowhere near "similarly wealthy" countries wrt Canada, entirely different tier. This reveals you haven't really spent time there.

Singapore is a city-state. I'm sure we can find a city in Canada that's doing better. And from what I know, Singaporeans too are majority unhappy with their country compared to 2015, so not sure what you're basing it on.
The French fryers certainly give a new meaning to embrace, extend, extinguish.
The key to this mechanism is that the stepping of the minute hand is what unlocks the second hand. Pretty clever low-tech way to keep a LOT of clocks in really close sync.

Yeah the scatter-gun spam is different.

From my experience with coding parts of Un-static [1], the advantage of having a single source for submissions for thousands of forms, is that you can filter out these more easily as well. As you can create partial fingerprints. Then just compare similarity between incoming submissions on other forms. And of course start blocking if you receive a scatter-gun message that matches partial fingerprints received across an increasing number of form endpoints.

There has been an awful amount of stagnation in those 40 years though. The Visual Studio debugger is still the best overall debugger but has hardly advanced since the late 90s. While the Debug Adapter Protocol and Language Server Protocol invented by the VSCode team are not perfect, they both make debugger and 'Intellisense' support in IDEs for new languages quite trivial and easily get into the 80% 'good enough' area of what a 'proper' IDE offers.
Am I the only one disappointed by these? They cost roughly half the price of a macbook pro and offer hmm.. half the capacity in RAM. Sure speed matters in AI, but what do I do with speed when I can't load a 70b model.

On the other hand, with a $5000 macbook pro, I can easily load a 70b model and have a "full" macbook pro as a plus. I am not sure I fully understand the value of these cards for someone that want to run personal AI models.

> There are three ways I use LLMs in my day-to-day programming: 1/ Autocomplete 2/ Search 3/ Chat-driven programming

I do mostly 2/ Search, which is like a personalized Stack Overflow and sometimes feels incredible. You can ask a general question about a specific problem and then dive into some specific point to make sure you understand every part clearly. This works best for things one doesn't know enough about, but has a general idea of how the solution should sound or what it should do. Or, copy-pasting error messages from tools like Docker and have the LLM debug it for you really feels like magic.

For some reason I have always disliked autocomplete anywhere, so I don't do that.

The third way, chat-driven programming, is more difficult, because the code generated by LLMs can be large, and can also be wrong. LLMs are too eager to help, and they will try to find a solution even if there isn't one, and will invent it if necessary. Telling them in the prompt to say "I don't know" or "it's impossible" if need be, can help.

But, like the author says, it's very helpful to get started on something.

> That is why I still use an LLM via a web browser, because I want a blank slate on which to craft a well-contained request

That's also what I do. I wouldn't like having something in the IDE trying to second guess what I write or suddenly absorbing everything into context and coming up with answers that it thinks make a lot of sense but actually don't.

But the main benefit is, like the author says, that it lets one start afresh with every new question or problem, and save focused threads on specific topics.
> All congestion pricing does is dissuade people from driving

That is true. And that is the point. Well, it also dissuades people from driving at specific times to even out traffic.

> Subways are terrible and highly unsafe.

Is this really true? Unsafe compared to what? To driving?

> Do you think your average Wall St Bros and White women are going to take subway just because there is congestion pricing?

I'd imagine everyone gets from a to b the quickest they can, regardless of income. No one would do 1h in a taxi if 20 minutes on a subway does it, even to Wall Street.

I have some late-19th-century books on plumbing that mention the same passivation layer, and so clearly it was known, along with some of the toxic effects of lead, back when it was widely used for plumbing (which I must also mention that the 'plumb' comes from 'plumbum' - Latin for lead.)

They've used various methods to limit egg production and it seems the issue is still ongoing...

Because even HN, by nature, is still an incredibly US-centric place. And has historically been a very capital-focused place where the stock market and GDP are taken as the only serious indicators by which to measure whether a country is doing well. Both of these points have very slowly been changing here, but the downvotes show it's still largely the same.

I spend my time between East-Asia and Europe, with one foot firmly in each of them, giving me a different perspective showing that Canada is the norm, not the outlier, which would be the US if there were to be one.

I still didn't expect it though, I thought here people would realize authoritarians aren't being voted in everywhere because the populace think things have been improving.

At the same time they’re still behind demand as most of the pretty advertising screenshots and frame rate bragging have been behind increasingly aggressive upscaling.

Random developer here: in my code, yes they are common. I tend to write modules so that I can route to them from wherever, reuse them, and move them around as I please. Relative links help greatly with such things.

Besides that, they are a very basic part of the spec, and I consider anything that breaks them to be truly fundamentally broken.

Nope, it's been great for poorer people who take transit at higher rates than others, and congestion pricing funds useful transit expansions for them.

I wonder if it makes sense for someone to do a huge IP troll bot network to make copyright claims on all the big YouTubers in such an egregious and in-your-face wrong way that youtube would be forced to redesign or remove the system.

I did source it, I just didn't provide links this time. Go dig out the old UK or danish reports or discussions of them from the time.

No links this time because I've posted on this topic dozens of times in the past over the years and was away from my bookmarks list at the time anyway. It didn't stop people flagging posts. They just pick fights with the sources or start making arguments long since resolved. There are whole websites devoted to explaining various aspects of what happened, look for Prof Norman Fenton's blog for an example if you want to get started.
> For example, I believe C++ template programming also breaks "parametricity" by supporting template specialisation.

C++ breaks parametricity even with normal templates, since you can e.g. call a method that exists/is valid only on some instantiations of the template.

The issue is that the compiler can't help you check whether your template type checks or not, you will only figure out when you instantiate it with a concrete type. Things get worse when you call a templated function from within another templated function, since the error can then be arbitrarily levels deep.

> My point is that in makes sense for C++ to allow this, I think.

Whether it makes sense or not it's a big pain point and some are trying to move away from it (see e.g. Carbon's approach to generics)

> she was never vegan

I see commitments with another angle. Heres few stances that I don't buy in, but still arguably true (exemples might be wrong but I hope you get the idea):

- a monogamous person that cheat their partner a few times is polygamous or polyamorous.

- a Muslim that drink alcohol once isn't Mulsim

- a Catholic that didn't make their confirmation isn't Catholic

- an altruistic that bought a commodity made by child or slavery-close (think fashion industry in Bangladesh or child labour for minerals in batteries) isn't altruist

- a soldier that fight for freedom by removing others freedom to live in peace

Understanding others comes from genuine interest in their actions and motivations. The names they give themselves is just a brand, a word they choose to define what they are proud of or believe in, even if they don't strictly follow the precepts.

> "sometimes [...] I did eat butter" is not different that the muslim that did drink alcohol. If I try put to myself in their shoes I could easily see the world around is full of alcohol and butter, from supermarkets to friends parties to advertisement to (for most vegans) family traditions... Those person believe in what they're doing: believe in god, avoiding cruelty, avoiding adultery. The fact they don't all apply it with absolute perfection simply reflects the reality of human existence: how fallible human being are. In the concrete exemple of the post, I give her credit by guessing she loves so much butter that stopping it entirely would make her miserable - which isn't the goal of veganism. Perhaps she even reduce her better consumption by 90% which is already a huge step in regards of her goal.

A side note on definitions. Some likes to highlight absurdity or contradiction of veganism in general. That is a fools (no offense) take:

A. no human is perfect (see above).

B. judging someone without trying to understand their motivation closed mindset and no curiosity.

C. veganism "mouth/dictionary" definition is very reductionist of how vegans think about it. Here's a more concrete definition by The Vegan Society:

> Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals

Ask HN: Open-source AI Agents building platform?
Hi,

There is a ton of tools comming out daily, mutating and pivoting in AI space. What I'm looking for is a platform to build internal agents that have way more permissions that you would dare to open to the customers. So maybe in the whole space , somebody has already done so and can point in the right direction.

Generally my idea is following: I'm building startup and my intention is to limit the number of support staff needed. Therefore I want to have specialised agents that does some functions for me. Primary communication is in slack - so intended workflow is that I write something to agents chat and they, having tools, do the tasks and get back to me in slack. It would be ideal to have those agents build on single system as oppose to coding each one of them separately. And since the intention is to give access to full data - self-hosted version is ideal, but open source would work just as well.

Anybody solving the same issues and can share relevant experience? Thanks a lot.
