> French Revolution today could very well extend globally to identify and re patriot

We have zero historical or contemporary precedent for this, and strong incentives for everyone else in the world to not play along. (As they did in sheltering the French aristocracy.)

In a hypothetical American revolution, foreign powers would be looking for their slice of the pie. To think through this dispassionately, imagine civil war breaking out in Russia or China. A second American revolution à la the first would put today’s billionaires and political elite in a room to draft a new constitution to their liking.
Agreed. This is also how I found out that features in Python I took for granted, like breakpoint(), were much more recent than I thought (3.7). Nothing like having to use ancient versions of a language to discover limitations.
They're not really targeting particular extension. Most people probably don't want to sell anyway so they would just waste time. They send email to everyone who have extension and then when any developer replies, only then they decide if they even want to buy. I have extension with 50k installs in last 5 years that has always on full access to visited pages (content script) and they offered $2k.
I think OP is coming from the "temporarily embarassed billionaire" perspective where if only we had a libertarian hellscape without pesky laws they would be a funeral baron who runs Bartertown.
What happened to RAM use? Ignoring gaming (which a large sunbset of the market never ever does), phones these days are doing exactly the same things they were doing back when 512MB was considered a generous amount of RAM. It feels as if Google deliberately ended all RAM frugality in platform updates to get ever bigger ad delivery machines into pockets.
FWIW there is a difference between revolution and civil war. I see a decent number of people advocate for the first but basically no one advocate for the second. In either case the numbers aren’t a majority.
I do miss having a turbo button on my computer.

I wonder if they plan to monetize the boost button.
ChatGPT.com does much more than for example Llama3.2-vision. It can search the web automatically, write code and run it just to answer you, much more agency.
15 preorders in the last few weeks! The product will be much more than just an advanced search.
Do you mean "making cents per million tokens"? And the benefit obviously belongs to the person who prompts, because they solve a task or get help. The value of that help can be from trivial to life changing.
Ok, I’ll try to!
Dyson is the (super) rare exception of a full professor without a PhD. But then again he did unify quantum electrodynamics.

I think you misunderstand entirely. HN wants Matt removed from the internet, and for good reason.
AI doesn't make art, it makes images - it's like a camera this way. Art is in the composition, the message and the aesthetic of the one using the tool to create an image.
You often will not be, explicitly by contract. Honestly in this case it’s easier to keep things clean.
I did not have this issue on iOS FWIW, so there must be something more subtle going on for this bug.
This is a take on environmental communication I’ve heard more and more of recently. Out of curiosity, do you know of other literature or people trying to reframe the human/nature relationship?
The specs mention 2GB of RAM: https://www.hmd.com/en_int/hmd-key/specs?sku=1GS009MPG3001
It is happening in insurance right now and it is an unmitigated disaster that nobody wants to address.

There is real data used for insurance premiums and claims payouts but it's being swapped out for AI slop, and the sales folks are getting bonuses for selling hot garbage and the executives are getting bonuses for buying hot garbage.
Maybe training on copyrighted data should be allowed if the size of the training set is huge, as each individual example is justa drop in the ocean compared to the full training set.

If you train a model 20B parameters on 20T tokens, even with 1000 tokens per example, the model extracts about 1 byte of information per example. What is the value of 1 byte of copyright infringement?
> Or they'd call you from the missed call, not because they heard your message.

people with professional and PhD with full mailboxes do this, with jitter of up to hours.

the last full voicemail i hit i was called back nearly immediately, and they said "what, i just delete all my voicemails, if i call it says no new no saved"

There's a reason i'm harping on specific elements so much, because i don't think voicemail is magic, i guess.

do these people have voicemail boxes like this (nsfw language, a bit. idk. it's art.): https://nextcloud.projectftm.com/index.php/s/NSFW_voicemail_...
I'm definitely (and primarily) all for safer infrastructure (and am happy to live in a place where that is a priority and politically feasible).

That said, it's not always a trade-off between safety inside and outside the vehicle. Some recent vehicle trends are just dangerous for people outside the vehicle, and that's a shame.
> Americans freed themselves from a prior group of elites unlike the grandparent comment is claiming of the French elites

The American Revolution was one of American elites overthrowing their overseers. It worked and was not super disruptive because power (and class) structures were preserved. From the states through to the system of law and the people in power. (We also didn’t do any mass or political executions.)

Ageing as a Software Design Flaw
Disagree. They were wrong to go after Aaron Swartz and would be wrong to go after OpenAI or Meta. The federal government should instead require any university receiving federal supports, support, or students on federal loans to require anyone associated with the university to publish only in completely open journals - providing unrestricted access to all. Then the government should void whatever intellectual property protections currently fetter academic literature.
Because tests also serve as api validations. If you can't write a test for functionality without fiddling with internal details the api is probably flawed. Separation forces access via the api.
I’ve thought for a while that Joi in BR2049 was less dystopian than what we will probably do with AI. She doesn’t constantly prompt K to buy more credits (like a mobile game) to continue engaging with her or deepen their relationship. (“If you really love me…”) I’ve been expecting that this is how our industry would operate given the customer hostile psychologically abusive hellscape of social and mobile. Of course there’s still time.

She appears to be a local model runnable on a small device without cloud.
George RR Martin once commented that he wished he could create a character like Rome's Titus Pullo (or something to that effect). Maybe Game of Thrones would have had a much better ending if the writer's of Rome had been in charge of it. Even though Rome ended abruptly in Season 2, it still ended in a much, much more satisfactory way than the crappy last seasons of Game of Thrones which really butchered the whole storyline with poor writing.
Not sure who Grok is, but the wiki article mentions ~15 points from iodide and 6 points from taking the test a second time.

It's possible that parents with better education pass that on to their kids and part of that is better test prep (and/or a clause system emphasizing education, and whatever genetics contribute to impulse control may play a role in that)
How can you get the definition of fairness so backwards? The King provides literally everything you take for granted and he should be punished because you are envious? I don't get it.

There's a reason why every vassal with a sizeable estate wants to be in the King's court rather than starting their own country.
Thank you for saying that
Ah, neat. Well not neat this sucks but thanks for sharing.

Ignorance is a choice.
Explain to me how you can prove…

1. You aren’t a troll posing as a human

2. That if you are a human, that you won’t die in the next hour.

3. That if you don’t die today, that the Earth won’t be impacted by an asteroid this year.
> see a decent number of people advocate for the first but basically no one advocate for the second

Anyone advocating for the first (as a popular revolt) thinking it wouldn’t result in the second isn’t thinking realistically.
Alluded multiple times in the comments already but worth being explicit: Aaron Swartz killed himself 12 years ago yesterday for facing "a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison" [0] after downloading academic journal articles, which would be only a small percentage of what's available on LibGen.

Free for me, not for thee.

You still don't.
No, mostly ground-up custom built themes. I've tried Craft and found it pretty convoluted (althought that might just be familiarity), but will be looking at Wagtail. Still hoping that WP can pull out of the tailspin because it's going to be a huge headache to switch.
That was SPJ being cute more than an actual indictment of Haskell fwiw. That quote gets misused a lot.

Laziness hasn't killed Haskell's usefulness. However, it is something Haskellers take for granted. I can't tell you how many times they "just turn on -XStrict" and are surprised their program gets slower.
I'm actually training a new generation biological LLM stored in my skull, and I use audio and video material from TPB in order to achieve the best AGI ever. You can't sue me because OpenAI and Facebook are doing it, also I don't have enough money in my bank account and that's why you can't sue me.

It's funny that most AI bros I have met were severely against piracy a few years ago.
They use the word "transparency" dozens of times, but never disclose in the article what products had high levels of contaminates.

Looking into this a bit, it seems that nVidia was still making most of its money from "gaming" as recently as early 2022. I'd suspect that, if crypto mining could be separated out, the transition point actually happened a couple of years earlier, but nevertheless the datacenter segment didn't become dominant until about 2-2.5 years ago. It existed well before then, but wasn't that big.
I'm not questioning your belief, just pointing out that this website has higher standards for discussion than Reddit.
It was Computershare. Now dominant in their industry. But when I worked for them they had just entered the US market.

I don’t know if that’s an argument for or against the culture then or if it has any relation to their culture now.

And frankly I doubt that this national attribution of corporate culture is likely real. I’ve only worked for the one Australian company, I’ve worked for many American ones and the culture around self promotion has been widely different across them.
Actually in recent years, there are many people who argue exactly that.

Their claim being that taking medication to suppress testosterone and boost estrogen, as well as having various cosmetic surgeries (castration, inversion of penis, bone/cartilage/soft tissue reshaping of facial features), gives these males a "female body".

Some of these males even claim to no longer be trans as a result of these surgical and pharmaceutical interventions, referring to themselves as "cis women".

Great work you guys! I have been following discussions on DL vs ML for tabular data for some time now and am very excited to see TabPFN perform so well. I would like to play around with it a bit and am wondering if there is a way to use TabPFN with larger sample sizes, say, 1000000 rows? Can I disable the 10000 sample limitation? I would appreciate a code example if so. Great work again!
Occupant safety in a car/pedestrian collision is basically a solved problem, especially at relatively low speed.
IMO SO questions is not a good evaluation. These models were likely trained on the top 1000 most popular StackOverflow questions. You'd expect them to have similar results and perform well when compared to the original answers.
Because the opposite end of that is having thousands of people drown out any nuanced discussion in their low-brow reactionist takes and "folk wisdom".
There is literally an ocean of difference between mathematics and ML (which seems to be what a lot of comments are talking about).
For what it's worth, gptme will refuse non-unique matches (and ask the LLM to try again). I thought Aider did too (easy win after all), but apparently not.
Its limited for sure, but that may not be a problem for everyone. I've been using a Cat S22 flip phone without any real issue. It has a Snapdragon 215 and 2GB of RAM.

Don't get me wrong, the S22 is limited for sure and that's part of what I use it for (I need a rugged device to carry around our land, I don't need a glass slab). Android is noticeably slower than a more recent Pixel device but its totally usable.
Linker is something different from Compiler (even if often called via same Frontend)
I'm curious what you'd consider moving to. Managed Wix/Squarespace? Ghost, maybe? I honestly haven't dug into that world in many years, I don't know what it looks like these days.
That's interesting, I didn't know before that there are re-write rules applied. It seems that this at least a case of when this failed.
Just as in real life, some people just enjoy hearing themselves speak (write).
Any advice for PhD dropouts? I spent years and years pushing against that boundary in an obscure corner of my field and it never moved. What little funding I had dried up and I left grad school with a half finished dissertation, no PhD, and giant pile of broken dreams.

I'm sure over the years you've known students who have started a PhD and not finished. What (if anything) have you said to them? Do you feel their efforts had any value?
If you dig the old Xerox docs, some of them refer to Lisp as inspiration.

Also the Mesa / Cedar had a similar approach, but based on dynamic libraries, which Niklaus Wirth took great advantage on how Oberon and derived systems worked.

Incidentally, due to Rob Pikes admiration for Oberon, not only had Inferno the ACME editor from Plan 9, already influenced by how Oberon worked, the whole Limbo experience on Inferno is quite similar as well.

Unfortunately we still lack this kind of full stack OS/REPL experience on modern systems.
And that's for selling a fixed off-the-shelf solution.

If you have something that needs to be a bit bespoke, or is an early-startup collaboration with a pilot customer as you refine and prove PMF... (and the customer is a real company, not just some other startups in your investors' portfolios)... and it impacts more than one very small team there... even if you already have the ear of their CEO... brace yourself for months of countless meetings with "stakeholders" of numerous departments.

Which, as a nimble early startup, impresses upon you why, in theory, you should have a massive innovation advantage over large, lumbering businesses, who can't seem to do anything.

Except you made the mistake of needing the buy-in of a large, lumbering business who can't seem to do anything. Now most of their barriers to movement are also yours. :)
One can definitely still be an avid astronomy hobbyist while finding syzygies seem to have lost their luster over time. It is a bit sad (in a way) but I'm not sure that implies it should be taboo to mention.

You don't want people excluded from the hobby on both ends - those that enjoy something particular should not be put down for enjoying it and those of the opposite opinion shouldn't be made to feel they must not be a real hobbyist as a result. Everyone should be able to talk about what they personally do and don't like about it while still enjoying the hobby overall.
You are right Mac automatically unzips the file, doing the checksum on the gz file matches. False alarm.

"Is Uber..." Or is some entity that serves that "find my account

"...tracking devices" Tying account to device CPU, fingerprint, some

My answer. Probably. Whatchyagonado?
JRebel, for those willing to pay.
lol I have been saying similar things here in Minnesota for years. A lot of extremely liberal, wealthy progressives like to try to change landmarks around here to the native language version. I have no issue with this at face value. What I do have an issue with, is these people acting like this is doing anything to help the local Native American tribes. Why would they care if a lake they probably never visit and a flag they barely look at are changed? Especially when they weren’t even asking for it? What does that do at all to actually help our local Native communities struggling with the things you listed above? Absolutely nothing. It’s all a parade to make these people feel like they’re doing something while having to sacrifice absolutely nothing from their own lives. It’s honestly pathetic.
Sure we can. We made fences, guns, and governments to do exactly that. But it turns out these coordination and defensive devices sort of blow up in our hands. And come a huge hurricane, storm, flood, or fire, nature just laughs are our land surveys and continues unabated.
The same is true of my own gptme, which has been pretty much at parity with Aider along the way.

Paul (Aider author) is a lot better at writing useful stuff than me though! (like the amazing blog posts)

Then why doesn’t every car score top ranking on the safety tests? It’s not a “solved problem” if you don’t spend the money/effort to solve it. And it absolutely costs money to solve the problem, which a cheaper car may not wish to spend.
I'd like more clarity on this:

> The advantage over docker here is that (when using Flakes) Nix builds are completely reproducible. Docker containers may be isolated, but surprisingly they are not deterministic out of the box. With some work you can make docker deterministic, but thats what you need, its much easier to use Nix.

as the whole purpose of the Dockerfile is to create a reproducible environment.
Crawling web data is ETL. I think the case stands: the winners in AI/LLM SaaS startup space are the ones that really do ETL well. Whether that's ETL is across an enterprise data set or a codebase.

The AI and LLM are just the the "bake" button. If you want anything good, you still have to prep and put good ingredients in.
> No cosmologist uses "matter" when they mean "protons" for example.

They will call that "baryonic matter".
This is why I was asking. My own gptme is also just slightly different from Aider and has been around roughly as long.
It's just the inductive reasoning version of the essay rather than the deductive version.

A lot of software exposition fails on that front. If you're familiar with invariants as a crucial tool for reasoning about software systems, then the essay will be a bit fluffy. It looks decent for a newcomer to the topic to rapidly build up intuition though.
Ugh you’re a tiresome culture war poster. I’ve no Interest in you or your hobby horse.

> because now I have to split my attention to things I don't want to even be bothered with yet.

One of the reasons could that you realize you don't need those parts, so it would have been a waste of time to write tests for them.

Is that the same as saying I don't want to have to write types either? Maybe. Types are like lightweight incomplete specs.
No, the non-exception is not absolutely necessary, and there are plenty of people on my staff who fit the description. There are also plenty more who Dunning-Krueger their way into thinking they do, but break down when challenged to do anything novel. Understand your options and choose your program carefully.
> Musk has shown an ability to make an impact in multiple fields for which he seems quite under qualified for, for which he did not have "significant intellectual preparation and tacit knowledge". He read alot.
He also had a giant pile of money from his PayPal windfall to hire the right people with the tacit knowledge to act on his ideas. The difference between a crank and eccentric businessman is the size of the budget they can wield when nobody else will.
> Academics are rarely comfortable discussing the shortcomings of academia.
Correct, which is why I’m not in academia.
True, it depends on the quality of the human on the other side. If it's a mindless front-line support person parroting a script, "did you try restarting the computer?", then I'd take a smarter AI too.
... like raising public awareness about the broad issue?

whatabout: retasking yourself on that issue instead of just commenting?
Not going to happen. All the US agencies and military branches stand to gain a ton in surveillance capabilities with GenAI technologies. More capable text condensation models, the ability to "befriend" and track hundreds of thousands of citizens online with fake persona's to extract information, fingerprinting citizens writing styles, anonymizing writing styles, harvesting resumes, mass propaganda campaigns, echo chambering groups of citizens, mass sentiment analysis for strategy development and psyops, smearing corporate/political campaigns to forward agendas, mass psychological weapon assessments, etc. It's too much for all branches of government to not forward this as quietly as possible while leveraging strategic corporate partnerships for data harvests.

It's the new radium. Expect it to be in your shaving cream without accountability and hope future generations look back on it thinking we were really dumb. We're all part of the biggest experiment in human history we just have to trust who is at the wheel.
They tried with Sailfish, which is the spiritual successor of the excellent N95 OS, but alas not sufficient traction.
But Go was not trying to be functional, but more general-purpose ease of use. V (Vlang), moves a bit closer to functional, while keeping the ease of use of its Go heritage. Rust builds on top of its OCaml heritage, however, this creates a lot of confusion because of the verbosity and syntax differences from what people are used to with other C-like languages.

Definitely, V (Vlang) is in the trajectory of a better Go or Go and C alternative. When you read V (Vlang), you can see how it's improving upon or advancing various Go concepts, while being C-like. Rust, because of the OCaml heritage, is a bit both odd and unique. It's positioned as a C/C++ replacement or alternative, but there is no easy recognition or transition from those languages. Possibly why there is a lot of friction and controversy surrounding Rust, as people haven't familiarized themselves with (or don't want to) with OCaml and that family of languages.
