This analogy seems to be made every time this comes up on HN, but I don't think it really holds water. First of all, when a human artist learns from another, it's inherently a level playing field for competition; the junior and senior are both human, neither are going to be 1,000,000x more productive as the other. So the senior artist really doesn't have that much to worry about. And the senior artist recognizes that they themselves were once a junior and had to learn from their seniors, so it's a debt paid forward which results in more art. And becoming a master artist or even an imitator takes dedication and hard work, even with lots of artwork to learn from, so that keeps competition to a certain level.

When it takes decades to develop an art style that a machine can copy in days, and then churn out derivative variations in seconds, it's no longer a level playing field. The machine can dramatically under-cut the artist who developed their style, much more than a copycat human artist could. This does become not just a threat to the livelihoods of artists, but also a disincentive to the development of new art styles.

In this case, patent law may be an apt comparison for the world we're entering. Patent law was developed with the idea in mind that it is a problem if a human competitor could simply take an invention, learn how it works, and then mass produce copies of it. There are several reasons for this, including creating an incentive for technology development, and also expediently transitioning IP to the public domain. But patents were added to the legal system basically because otherwise an inventor would not be on a level playing field with the competition, because it takes so many more resources to develop a new invention than to produce clones.

Existing IP law was built in a world where it was believed that machines were inherently incapable of learning and mass-producing new artistic works using styles learned from artists. It was not necessary to protect artists from junior artists learning how to work in their style, as long as it wasn't a forgery. But in a world of machine learning, perhaps we will decide it's reasonable to protect artists from machine copycats, just like we decided it was reasonable protect technology inventors from human copycats.

The patent system is not the right implementation; it's expensive to file a patent, and you need skilled lawyers to determine novelty, infringement, and so on. But for art and machine learning, it might be much simpler: a mandatory compensation for artists' work used as training data. Something like this is sometimes used in the music industry to determine royalties for radio broadcasting, or to account for copies spread by file sharing.
In theory, sure, but not so in practice.
E15 or so was mindblowing at the time. It was living in a sci-fi movie.
Disagree. Israel historically was in a worse state. The U.S. didn’t always support Israel. Additionally Israel, a nation of Jews, has seen its people in much, much, much, worse. Including pre 49.
Better than Jared Kushner I guess
I guarantee you that anyone with knowledge of how these games are run would not want an LLM being a DM.

Its the type of problem which requires a good balance of storytelling, preparation, and tailoring the interactions towards the psychology of the people who are playing (in specific beneficial and entertaining ways).

Its a problem computers won't likely solve anytime soon.
Cool idea, using shapen.com you could quickly generate all the 3d models
Only with 4o model which is lacking. Not with any of the o1 models. You also can't upload any documents, not even.txt files which is absurd.
It's branded on google play as “REDnote”
Feels like there’s three different ways that JSON objects are represented in KEON.

It might be more concise, e.g., in the Newtype case, but the sacrifice seems to be quite a bit more cognitive complexity, which I would personally value over conciseness
Here's an idea - the entire world doesn't revolve around the US presidency.
Strange, I found Instagram Reels' algorithm to be much better suited to my interests than TikTok's, and I've tried both multiple times, deleting them multiple times and seeing if it would improve, but TikTok's never did.
You are blaming the wrong thing though. America isn't obese because of red dye 40 or food additives, it's obese because Americans eat too much ultra processed foods that are high in calories and low in nutritional value. Along with minimal exercise and walking.

Banning red dye 40 isn't going to solve anything, companies are just going to find another food dye, natural or synthetic. There needs to be major changes in the average American diet to incorporate more whole foods, fiber, vegetables, fruits, etc... Once that is done then take a harder look at the dyes and additives.
Is there any info about how many tokens a second you would get with a 400b model? Without that it's like claiming a graphics card can output at 8k, but neglecting to state the frames per second. Suspect, in other words.

Outputs at 8k resolution! (+)

...at 5 fps (+)
Letting go of past injustices might work, if they weren't ongoing.
You really don't want to know about GRAS (Generally recognized as safe) then. 700 food substances were grandfathered into the food supply chain and most new things are self-affirmed by the company selling them.
Yes that is an excellent endorsement of Colorado’s Supreme Court decision to remove Trump from the ballot. Essentially all the incredible things about CO’s decision (as the author says, even if you disagree with their conclusion) are notably absent from SCOTUS’s.

For example, SCOTUS took literally every escape hatch possible NOT to decide the case on its merits, which they transparently say is because it would be politically undesirable.

That’s an excellent read though, thank you for sharing.
Lots of parents probably follow similar lines of thinking about the effect of sugar on their kids' behaviour, and I think it's worth deferring to experts on that.
How can a broken update like this even happen? Surely Docker goes under rigorous testing before actions like this? I'm still waiting for a detailed post mortem, [0] but quite frankly this is a very basic intern mistake, but done by "senior" engineers.

In the mean time, I'm using Orbstack. [1] Much faster, lightweight and a native alternative.

The difference between prison labor and Uyghur forced labor camps:

In the US those people lost their rights by committing criminal acts and were convicted by a jury of their peers.

In China, the Uyghurs were forced into camps because of their ethnicity.

No different than Nazi Germany. And yes those camps are real.

Btw the prison labor camp talking point is a common 50 cent army tactic. Not sure if you're doing it for free or...
I experienced this earlier in the week. Didn’t realize it was an upstream issue. I ended up re-installing docker which somehow fixed the issue.

Work machine is managed by orgs fleet management software (jamf?) and thought it was an issue on their end (bad conf push).
Even so, I expected something a little more insightful than a copy paste of nvidia's press release. And for some reason it is upvoted to the top of HN.
The PBM industry originally started with noble intentions, even if some of them have now morphed into something closer to parasites. They helped to hold down drug costs for consumers and employers by negotiating with pharmaceutical companies and retail pharmacies on behalf of multiple buyers. And they created formularies and clinical guidelines to encourage use of most cost effective drugs (generics and step therapy). A lot of doctors tend to write prescriptions for certain drugs out of habit without carefully considering what's best for and individual patient, both clinically and financially. And before federal laws were tightened up, it was common for drug companies to essentially bribe doctors to prescribe their expensive branded products through loopholes like paying them "speaking fees" to show up at company meetings held at 5-star resorts. So PBMs were a way to counteract that. But then some of the PBMs started taking kickbacks themselves and making money on pharmacy price spreads so it has all become a big mess.
nvidia could just release variations of their "gaming" cards with more RAM. There is absolutely nothing stopping them from releasing 64GB or 128GB 5080s and 5090s.

But they don't because that would cannibalize the extremely overpriced enterprise offerings. The #1 reason people are forced into the tens of thousands of dollar cards is memory needs.

So considering that, ask what niche this device really fills: Is it a new "supercomputer" for the home? Not really, given that it is silicon and memory bandwidth restricted so much that their $600 GPU can beat it soundly on every metric (not surprising when you look at the power and airflow/cooling needs of "real" GPUs) but in scenarios requiring large memory. But while this can hoist those larger models, it is going to be far removed from state of the art.

It's neat, but the market for this is being grossly overstated on a lot of these hype advertorials. The large models you'll run on it will be quantized the point of absurdity, not to mention that for 99.9%+ of users, anything short of state of the art is basically useless.

It's a neat eGPU of sorts for a Mac or something (they really hype the fact that you use CUDA for this). Still really trying to figure out what value it possibly brings outside of trying to lure a bunch of enthusiasts to blow money on this so they can fiddle with Llama for a week and then realize it's a waste of time.
Google can eventually allow anything on their domains to access whatever they want in the future and the end user can do nothing about this.

I feel like this reveals some sampling error in the OP rant. When you see something negative get made that makes you think "nobody cares", you're not seeing the people who did care and left.
Selling dev tools is ferociously hard, as partially evidenced by this thread talking about how changing anyone's development flow/tooling/process is also ferociously hard

I would guess dev tooling usually also falls into the "nice to have," or as my former CEO used to say "vitamins vs painkillers"
I agree, it shouldn't be that hard. Ironically I keep using EasyEDA over the other CAD programs as it is quite intuitive to use and, if you use the LCSC stock parts, it has a 1-click button to order the assembled board from JLPCB. A simple "re-order link" for JLPCB I could have given out would have been too easy I guess!

I have just added a link on the project webpage with the Gerber/pick and place files zipped up and any good PCB shop should be able to manufacture a board from this.

$2.50 is a bit steep, I guess Microchip are probably running down this older chip and have far better 28-pin SOIC PIC16F's starting at $0.70, any PIC16F/18F should run the code with a few tweaks. My current uP of choice is the RP2040 and I will put out a design using that when my normal work quietens down a bit.
I guess the future is

1. Friend sends an apology email drafted by LLM.

2. Email gets summarized at the receiver end in the daily AI email "summary" which might be something like

You have a scheduled cake tasting this weekend. Did you know there's a bakery near your office that makes wedding cakes too. By the way your friend Joe can't make it to the wedding, do you want me to send a reply?

3. Reply email gets summarized by AI.

"Your friend acknowledges that you cannot rsvp. Do you want to schedule a wedding gift delivery on their wedding day ? XYZ neighborhood/online store has a sale next week".
It's not my job to explain. Ask Hindenburg Research.
Great, but I can actually back it up. That's the difference here. I can point you to experts who agree with what I am saying and who I have chatted with.
Maybe your data is stored in a multi-PB pile of HDF5.
Had an AcuRite Wireless Home Weather Station for twenty years. I recommend it.

AcuRite sells a number of different models, from a bare-bones ~$20 model to the flashier $45 "Weather Station". You can find them all at Walmart.

You hang a remote sensor outside. It radios data to the receiver, a portrait-like wall-mounted display. Both indoor and outdoor values are displayed on the receiver, along with time & date.

Our sensor was misplaced and years later we found it again but the alkaline batteries had corroded the internal circuitry. You can buy a replacement sensor for ~$25 and they are compatible with old displays, but the wife had lost interest. So now we rely on TV & WWW.
Fraud and deception are common.
Just consider Tesla for instance.
UK Officials Consider Banning Ransomware Payments from Public Entities
Even 200B for 3k USD is really good, 128 GB of memory for that price is surprising!

Right now using a two RTX 2080 setup for a pilot project, where it runs ollama and qwen2.5-coder (14B quantized version), a more serious step up from there on a budget would realistically be an RX 7900 XTX (24 GB, though I've had issues with setting up ROCm) for 1k EUR or RTX A5000 (24 GB) for 2.5k EUR in the current market.

Honestly, I don't even need the best performance for what I'm trying to do, even an Arc A770 (16 GB) for 350 EUR would be enough to iterate, except that it's not actually supported by ollama and lots of stuff out there: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/gpu.md (I know ollama isn't the only solution, but it sucks when the tools you like aren't available)
> Homeschooling I firmly believe can be a more effective way to get exposure and learn how to deal with other people than a public school.

In your homeschooling are you with other students or just your family members?

> Public schools are training grounds for poor social skills.

This statement doesn’t make sense to me.
you are right, and I was wrong;

I found this article by Ars Technica that highlights the consequences of the deal for search engines:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/07/non-google-search-en...

so Reddit, the website co created by Aaron Swartz, is now a walled garden.

Wow.
Do those countries use any practices or innovations developed by non-socialist entities, or are they entirely socialist-based?
What you can do is have a cron job that continuously polls one or more URLs looking for tarballs with Git repos accompanied by GnuPG or Signify signatures. The primary idea is that the tarballs are only unpacked and executed if the signatures are valid and anything received by the machines is only executed after the hashes and signatures are successfully logged, this prevents (or at least documents) any abuse on the part of the IT team. Inside the tarballs are Salt, Ansible, and/or shell commands.

In addition to a cron job, we had an active pubsub listener on each machine to poke this process.

You can do this on macOS too, or at least, modern macOS "should" be able to do this.

We did this on a large fleet of user machines (laptops) running Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux.
I think you might have misinterpreted the comment above you. I took it to mean that there are a set of circumstances unique to Gaza that cause greater conflict between it and Israel than between the West Bank and Israel, which is not sufficiently explained by generational trauma alone.
The legacy free edition includes the features of the 'Business Starter' plan, the most affordable option. In this table [1], you can find the features available for each plan.

Here are the details for the Business Starter plan specifically:

Gmail: Help me write, Side panel, Contextual smart replies (Coming soon).

Gemini app: Enterprise-grade security & privacy, Google Workspace extensions.

NotebookLM: Upload sources, create summaries and Audio Overviews, and Q&A.

I'm also milking Google with this.

Sure there's some subset of commits where all that makes sense is a stamp. On good teams it at least still ensures that two people agree that a stamp is appropriate. Knowing that you need to be able to convince someone it's good before it goes in is a good forcing function reducing sloppiness and laziness.
A video editor wants the tool sitting on their desk. Not pay-per-gen SaaS where the results are garbage nine out of ten times.

The comfy ecosystem is rife with people that want local tools.

I knew this comment would come.
Who did Hamas target on October 7? Remind me again? Was that a military music festival they attacked?

Hamas hides behind civilians. They don't care about Palestinian lives. The Palestinians apparently don't care since they let Hamas hide behind them and let them remain in power. So, why are we supposed to care?
Since 3.11 it seems; I'm currently stuck on 3.8, but hopefully we should be able to upgrade soon. Thanks.
Sure. Plenty of people to trade with who don't support terrorists like Hamas.
Valve should step up and do the right thing here.
If you’re interested in an accurate description of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم look into a translation of “Shama’il Tirmidhi”, you’ll only have to read the first chapter or so.
I'm not too familiar with the AI space but I wonder if this is an effort from NVIDIA to combine their AI and Gaming markets. Did this come from a conversational question stating, 'How do we sell discrete cards through our existing manufacturing partnerships to both gaming enthusiasts and AI enthusiasts?'. I do wonder how comfortable they are pivoting back to being a consumer hardware company if AI becomes a more competitive space, or if the 'hype' subsides. Pure speculation and I'm probably off the mark.
Docker has jumped the shark as a company, good thing the alternatives are maturing quickly. We've had pretty good (not perfect) success with the Colima project.
> having dealt with Cashapp support in the past

Yet you're still a user? Perhaps you also do not care? Actually the "do not care" covers a lot of ground here, perhaps you still find it useful and reliable enough, that you are willing to forgive this one bug due to the general convenience of cashapp.
I graduated from an electrical engineering program at a big ten (U.S.) school in the mid '90s, and I am closing in on retirement. I spent today enrapt in an Oracle upgrade from 10g to 11g. Yes, our IT is COBOL-centric, and we are vastly behind the times. Much of today was spent (re)compiling C. The consensus is that I will have to think hard tomorrow about how to fix these problems.

While I was in school, I studied with many Palestinians in my college of engineering. I wonder often what happened to them.

At the same time, within Israel, Intel is the largest civilian employer. The Pentium M is an Israeli rework of the Pentium Pro legacy, and Israel is key to Intel's gains over the past two decades.

I wish that everyone that I knew from the Middle East was fully involved in the advances of Intel.

Perhaps my lost schoolmates' absence was precisely what Intel lacked, but such cultural divides are not easily bridged.

This is a great pity.
> I don't know who they are.

"they" in that sentence was Jordan Peterson.

Musk didn't show up for testimony in SEC probe re: Twitter acquisition (2024)
Perhaps you can enlighten me on this topic. So, for the sake of argument, let's consider Israel's recent actions as a genocide. Then what? What's the UN going to do? Send a nasty letter to Israel? Create a fake warrant for Bibi that every country just ignores?

From a military perspective, Israel is highly useful to the United States and many other Western countries. Israel is basically the Guam of the Middle East. So, genocide or not, I bet good money not a single thing will happen to Israel. Sure, there might be some theatrical cases in which some soldiers are imprisoned for war crimes and some high-rankers being dishonorably discharged. But it's all just for show.

Israel basically is what keeps Iran from overstepping too much. To the West, that is far more valuable than the lives of Palestinians. I am not trying to be insensitive, and I truly feel empathy for all the poor Palestinian people that lost their lives over this senseless conflict. However, if the rest of the world cared, then the rest of the world would have intervened.

Point being, call it whatever you want. It won't make a difference.
What do you mean national security risk? What risk to whom, exactly? Do you mean that the algorithm can portray communism or China in a positive light? Can you provide an example video that constitutes this threat?
It really sucks to be the one person who cares amongst colleagues that don’t care. You’re seen as creating work for others, making waves, causing instability, etc etc. Or because you care, you get burned out by trying to fix everything.

In these places you’re pushed to not care.
It's 11 people. It's a band breaking up, not Microsoft choosing its fourth CEO.
The court finds them guilty of violating which laws, exactly?

Sorry I really don't get what you are trying to say. In order to lose in court, you need to first find a law where Hindenburg could be breaking. But I don't see that happening, especially as it's almost impossible for them to be found guilty of defamation due to the First Amendment.
On an entirely separate tangent... Why are you remotely managing macs? That seems like a cluster of nightmarish proportions without even getting to this issue.

If you don't trust people, give them Windows and use the tools that have been around for decades for this.
I haven’t seen any new sparks of intelligence. But it remains to be seen what OpenAi does. So far I haven’t seen any paradigm shifts or indications they’re not just scaling up and making their training corpus more vast. I could be wrong but if they had something we’d know by know. Every chatgpt release has been hyped up but somewhat dissapointing to many. But what do I know ..
Stealth layoff/ Tax responsibility transfers from the Corp to employees. IE locval tax breaks because they promised commuters would spend money near the office, which let's be honest, they can't really promise that in the first place. People vote with their wallets and the zeitgeist is that if you are forced to RTO, you DO NOT spend any money near the office.
this was insightful, thanks.
My friend, its tribalism all the way down. Thats what we do.
Judging from the fact that all the workaround does is reinstall a privileged daemon, you needed root to install Docker in the first place. Why are you outraged that you need root again to reinstall? Moreover, how is that even a macOS problem?

Being outraged that you need to invoke administrative privileges on a development machine seems unreasonable to me. You can't get far with that kind of restriction.
Copyright doesn't prevent anyone from "using" a person's work. You can use copyrighted material all day long without a license or penalty. In particular, anyone is allowed to learn from copyrighted material by reading, hearing, or seeing it.

Copyright is intended to prevent everyone from copying a person's work. That's a very different thing.
The ones we want more of. None are perfectly ethical and none are fair.

Microsoft/Bill Gates is a good example. Without MS, we'd have open source and stuff like that. But it's just nice to have Windows, MS Office, less polio. People like Warren Buffett stabilize the economy, while people like Soros destabilise it. Nearly all the Big Tech ones are pretty good - they pay wages as high as possible.

Most are law abiding. Most of them actually want higher taxes but also want their competitors to be paying them as well. Bezos gets slack for dodging taxes, but he does it legitimately - most profits are reinvested and they actually pay good salaries even if they overwork their staff.
The impact of a vehicle upon a road's health scales by the fourth power of the axle load. Heavy vehicles have an absolutely massive impact on roads to the point that compact cars should be paying negligible road usage fees in comparison.
