The skill that's worth learning is how to investigate, experiment and think about these kinds of tools.

A "Stable Diffusion" class might be a waste of time, but a "Generative art" class where students are challenged to explore what's available, share their own experiments and discuss under what circumstances these tools could be useful, harmful, productive, misleading etc feels like it would be very relevant to me, no matter where the technology goes next.
Is it different from SQL though?
"If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn’t." - without trying to defend such business practice, it appears very difficult to define what are necessary and sufficient properties that make AGI.

When various companies got signal that at least for now they have a huge overton window of what is acceptable for AI to ingest, they are going to take all they can before regulation even tries to clamp down.

The bigger danger, is that one of these companies even (or, especially) one that claims to be 'Open', does so but gets to the point of being considered 'too big to fail' from an economic/natsec interest...
Put this in the reviews to be aggregated into an X out of 5 score I can logically base decisions on. It seems irrational to let one strange experience (screen cracked for no reason sitting on a shelf) that occured to 1 out of what, 100,000? customers affect my shopping decisions. Most of the boox reviews I've come across love it for years. Sorry yours broke. When a warranty isn't honored, I've always had luck with Visa Signature or Amex doing a full refund within the first 2-3 years under their "extended warranty" benefit.

How is this not that?

I don't have the very latest one, mine is the one before the current one so perhaps I am no longer correct, but my issue was brightness.

The screen is big enough and the text is big enough by itself that I should not need my reading glasses, if the contrast was great enough, but it isn't great enough. That by itself is extremely irritating to me.
Newer passports intentionally don't support third-party verifiable signatures anymore (earlier ones did). Non-repudiation was always a bug, not a feature, and that functionality is going away in newer implementations due to privacy concerns [1].

So unfortunately it's back to a centrally trusted verifier even with chip-enabled passwords for this use case.

> True, but with enough resources onlyhumanhub itself can become the identity broker, no need for a third party.

That doesn't address my concern at all: Why should I trust that service with something as sensitive as the mapping of my real identity to any number of pseudonyms? What's the economic incentive to not eventually offer a de-anonymization service to the highest bidder?

>I thought having to lift pen repeatedly would be slower?

The extra strokes required for all those fucking loops more than make up for having to pick up the pen.

Cursive probably made a lot of sense when people were writing with quill pens, but in modern times each individual has their own comfort level and preferences.

>Cleared a few misconceptions... One of them being writing in blocks is somewhat 'childish' and cursive is more literate.

I was taught exactly that when I was growing up, which is why cursive was required for all school assignments pre high school. I always thought it was bullshit though because books aren't written in cursive and I only knew a single adult that used cursive in their every day lives. It seemed like a weird academic script.

I think a big reason I was so frustrated with being forced to use cursive in school was because after I learned to write in print and before I learned cursive I wrote a LOT. Like I'd write stories almost every day. I loved writing so much and then they gave me this new script that I needed to use for writing that slowed me down. It's like... Stop changing things on me.

I'm really glad cursive is no longer required in a lot of places. My school years would have been so much better without being forced to use cursive.
they probably can't because some of the proxies were used by TLAs is my guess...
Yes - it might have been 500g lighter if it wasn't fully mechanical.

So not bought back to life then. Still, why ruin a great headline.
Stepping back a little and try to projecting that logic onto humans, are we more like super organisms? Interestingly, Our social constructs does have similarities of both superorganism and non- superorganism
"Houthi attacks added at least $175bn to shipping costs in the ten months to October 2024. The entire global container market was worth around $122bn in the same period in 2023. Higher prices for shipping oil and gas, as well as dry bulks like wheat, make the overall bill probably bigger still. For now, shipowners are raking in profits as longer transit times soak up capacity. Maersk, a Danish shipper, reported $3.3bn in operating profit in the third quarter, up from $0.5bn a year before."

Houthi piracy is more profitable for shipping companies! Law of unintended consequences.
Probably dumb question, but any enlightenment would be welcome to help me learn:

Could this be prevented by having a link that when followed would serve a dynamically generated page that does all of the following:

A) insert some fake content outlining the oligarcs more lurid rumours or whichever disinformation you choose to push

C) embed links to assets in oligarchs companies so they get hit with some bandwith

C) dynamically create new
Random pages that link to itself

And thus create an infinite loop, similar to a gzip bomb, which could potentially taint the model if done by enough people.
Instead of the luks key in tpm you can use a fido2 compatible hardware security usb token. For booting/unlocking it has to be plugged in then you can remove it. This is pretty convenient and secure against many threats like stealing the nas in my opinion.

Only given it a skim read so far but this looks like a really nice write up and it's a fantastic piece of work. Laser fault injection is a very powerful attack so great to see it becoming more accessible through work like this (or terrible if you're someone relying on security of hardware that considers LFI to be a highly advanced technique that it doesn't need to defend against...).
> instead they want to see a name and a check mark

How is that remotely surprising?

Most famous people are not known by domain names. Most are known by their real names. Some are known by usernames on particular services, like MrBeast on YouTube or dril on Twitter.

Maybe, if Bluesky stays popular, a new crop of Internet-famous people will be known by their domain names. But even then, you're probably not going to remember whether they're foo.com or foo.io or foo.bsky.social.

Some people, mostly in tech, do have well-known personal websites hosted at their own domains – but I for one rarely remember the specific domains, because I'm used to finding websites through search. (Off the top of my head I can only think of cr.yp.to.)

Companies are more likely to have websites and well-known domains, so there's that, but most social media users are individuals.

Besides, domain names are not more owned than Twitter handles or any other kind of username. If anything, they're less owned. When Elon Musk stole some people's Twitter handles, it was (tech) news. The expectation with most services is that you can register a name and hold onto it forever for free; at worst it might be lost if you're totally inactive for a long time. Meanwhile, domains require yearly payment. Once they expire, they're often instantly snapped up by a bot with no way for the original owner to get them back.

So in practice, people lose their personal domains all the time. Less common for companies, but companies do tend to let their names expire when they go out of business. Just the other day there was a front-page post about using this to hijack people's identities. [1]

Domain names can also be taken away for trademark infringement (UDRP) or by a court for other legal reasons (e.g. pirate sites often have their domains seized). Domains can be lost for political reasons, as with .af domains suspended last year [2] following the change of government in Afghanistan (originally thought to be caused by the message expressed by the names, in reality caused by payment issues resulting from economic sanctions, but either way happening for political reasons). You even have situations like .io where millions of domains might disappear in one stroke (though it probably won't actually happen).

No. If you derive, then you can't change it without full re-encryption of potentially terabytes of data.
It's interesting that despite all these real issues you're pointing out a lot of people nevertheless are drawn to interact with this technology.

It looks as if it touches some deep psychological lever: have an assistant that can help to carry out tasks that you don't have to bother learning the boring details of a craft.

Inference for single example is memory bound. By doing batch inference, you can interleave computation with memory loads, without losing much speed (up until you cross the compute bound threshold).

I've used embeddings to define clusters, then passed sampled documents from each cluster to an LLM to create labels for each grouping. I had pretty impressive results from this approach when creating a category/subcategory labels for a collection of texts I worked on recently.
“I have a few degrees in economics” is an appeal to authority, and a laughable one at that. Economists are historians that tricked themselves into thinking that overfitted models of the past predict the future.

2008 was obvious in retrospect but the government that is full of economists did nothing to stop it. They lauded things like Clinton getting the govt to back housing loans because there is “a school” of economics that claims that’s better than the “other school” of economics that is focused on the moral hazard.
try the pi π - does also not work. Far off tbh
I moved to this when InoReader started charging 60 bucks per year. Never looked back.
While the first one is easy. I mean you could give it a list of holidays and dates. But the rest you would just ask the user to confirm the information and say “is this correct”? If they say “No” ask them which isn’t correct and let them correct it.

I would definitely assume someone wanted to leave from an airport close by if they didn’t say anything.

You don’t want the prompt to grow too much. But you do have analytics that you can use to improve your prompt.

In the case of Connect, you define your logic using a GUi flowchart builder called a contact flow.

BTW: with my new prompt, it did assume the correct airport “<<I want to go to Cuba after Easter>>”
This is fantastic feedback—thanks for taking the time to share it! I’m updating the flow so users see the objective first and can click to reveal the challenge and then the learning objectives. Leaning more into the simulation aspect and adding real-world context should help clear up much of the current confusion in the game design.

Auto-advance has already been removed in my WIP branch based on overwhelming feedback, and the new stage-wise approach works much better.
Why are you using 2 seconds? The commenter you are responding to hypothesized being able to do 250/s based on "100 parallel inference at 5 at a time". Not speaking to the validity of that, but find it strange that you ran with the 2 seconds number after seemingly having stopped reading after that line, while yourself lamenting people don't read and telling them to "read again".
Yeah it's why containers are beautiful. Zero hassle to replicate.
well does also not work for most of the ones I tried without those. Do you get “pi” to work?
it must be wonderful to live life with such supreme unfounded confidence. really, no sarcasm, i wonder what that is like. to be so sure of something when many smarter people are not, and when we dont know how our own intelligence fully works or evolved, and dont know if ANY lessons from our own intelligence even apply to artificial ones.

and yet, so confident. so secure. interesting.
Seriously wondering what you guys experienced with Azure. Never had an issue and prefer it over AWS.
I honestly think trusting exclusively your own doctor is a dangerous thing to do as well. Doctors are not infallible.

It's worth putting in some extra effort yourself, which may include consulting with LLMs provided you don't trust those blindly and are sensible about how you incorporate hints they give you into your own research.

Nobody is as invested in your own health as you are.
I believe HN has always supported RSS.
Please don't be salty; the only person here who may embarrass you is yourself. I'm happy that you like to think about yourself as CEO, but perhaps it's worth reflecting you may be doing a better job if you had spent less time on Hacker News, and more time figuring out how to get Hacker News excited about your product? So far you have pledged allegiance to AMD every chance you got, and spun tall tales of great capability, with not much to show for it besides "partners." You know nobody has trained a thing with your GPU's yet? That would be a great place to start for a CEO. To make something people would use. To justify it to us; as AMD themselves have clearly justified your existence there's no work there!

It's just tough words from a nobody, don't worry you'll be fine!
Yeah, I gave up resisting and I’m rolling with it. Ok, fine, this is the way now.

And yet my fingers still want to type it the other way.
The issue here is that the GP probably doesn't consider writing content to be related to developing the website.

Which is fair. It's one way of looking at it. Once, a really long time ago, I made a website (e-shop) where the content was written in an XML file, sliced and diced by XSLT via a little PHP script. My job was to write the (X)HTML for the layout and XSLT for data extraction - the content was something my client provided. If they provided the content in Markdown, I'd use markdown-to-html converter instead. Crucially, if I were provided with content in HTML, I'd also handle it (most likely not by directly pasting it into the page, though). I'm sure you can change the format in Nue trivially and write your posts in HTML if you want (right, @tipiirai?)
Big thing worth asking here. Depending on what 'amazon' means here (i.e. known to be Amazon specific IPs vs Cloud IPs) it could just be someone running a crawler on AWS.

Or, folks failing the 'shared security model' of AWS and their stuff is compromised with botnets running on AWS.

Or, folks that are quasi-spoofing 'AmazonBot' because they think it will have a better not-block rate than anonymous or other requests...

Is that relevant here? the post discussed writing a long prompt to get a good answer, not issues with ex. step #2 forgetting what was done in step #1.
Yes exactly, things like this, or synology, old Dell server blades, even a Mac mini. There are many (reasonable priced) products available for homelab adventures. Again the pi concept here is cool, but you can easily get something twice as strong for half the price.

I can see why the directly observable effect could help here, but what are these “alkaline diet” people selling exactly? I’ve mostly seen it just from individuals giving me unsolicited health advice. Also are these people really measuring the pH of their urine?
thanks for watching!

“prompts in source control” is kinda like “configs in source control” for me. recommended for small projects, but at scale eventually you wanna abstract it out into some kind of prompt manager software for others to use and even for yourself to track and manage over time. git isnt the right database for everything.
it's really not. the instant some insider starts selling the price will crash instantly dropping the price for other buyers. theres probably some momentum calculation when that happens but its not 25B

Very true regarding the subjects of a hypothetical AI art class.

What's also important is the teaching of how commercial art or art in general is conceptualized, in other words:

What is important and why? Design thinking. I know that phrase might sound dated but that's the work what humans should fear being replaced on / foster their skills.

That's also the line that at first seems to be blurred when using generative text-to-image AI, or LLMs in general.

The seemingly magical connection between prompt and result appears to human users like the work of a creative entity distilling and developing an idea.

That's the most important aspect of all creative work.

If you read my reply, thanks Simon, your blog's an amazing companion in the boom of generative AI. Was a regular reader in 2022/2023, should revisit! I think you guided me through my first local LLama setup.

Not quite what the original commenter meant but: WE ARE.

A major consequence of this reckless AI scraping is that it turbocharged the move away from the web and into closed ecosystems like Discord. Away from the prying eyes of most AI scrapers ... and the search engine indexes that made the internet so useful as an information resource.

Lots of old websites & forums are going offline as their hosts either cannot cope with the load or send a sizeable bill to the webmaster who then pulls the plug.
Indeed: https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html try not to block LLM bot traffic and start injecting spurious content for ""improving"" their data. Markov chain at its finest!
yeah its not really about steps per second, its about if steps have heavy processing workload each, eg you dont want to clog up your postgres with a bunch of media processing or basically literally anything long running, which is the point of a separate workflow engine

Honeybee queens are the only honeybees with stingers that don't die when they sting. That's because the queen bee's stinger has no barbs, and the reason for that is that the queen must not die easily, and she must use her stinger, so if she's going to survive at all her stinger has to not have barbs. The queen almost certainly has to use her stinger when she exits her cocoon: to kill ther other queens that are about to hatch or have hatched already. She also has to possibly use her stinger when she goes out to mate (though she does go with attendants who will defend her if attacked).

I was surprised not to find mention of this in TFA.

> A honey bee dies when it stings you because its stinger is covered in barbs, causing its abdomen to get ripped out when it tries to fly away. And surviving with your guts spilling out everywhere is pretty bloody hard.

There's another interesting detail here: when the worker tries to fly off after stinging, she has to try really hard because the barbs hold the stinger in place, and trying hard causes two things to happen:

- noise that attracts other workers
to attack the same creature

- spreading of the dying bee's
distress pheromones that also
attract other workers to sting
the same creature

So when you get stung by a bee near other bees you will be in trouble. That's how you go from one sting to hundreds. And hundreds is enough to kill a human. That's why you don't go near a hive without protection. Being in or near a swarm is safer than being near a hive: the bees in a swarm don't have much (larvae, honey) to protect, so they don't attack.

> ... wonder how much you need to spend to get into mud rolling territory?

When I was at AWS, our team used to (religiously / proactively) keep track of customers having multiple complaints, especially repeat complaints (all of which manifested in to some form of downtime for them). Regardless of their spend, these customers ended up getting the "white glove" treatment, which otherwise is reserved for (potential) top spenders (though, engs are mostly oblivious to the numbers).

This is besides the fact that some account managers & support engs may indeed escalate (quite easily at that) to push product eng teams to really & immediately pay that tech debt that's hurting their customers.

The serious answer is this: Nazis strive to replace democratic government with a fascist dictatorship. They wish to get rid of people they deem as their enemies. Anyone who tolerates people with ideology like this cannot be viewed as anything but the same as them. So, if your party has a few Nazis, it's all Nazis.
I think anonymity is important for some kind of coordination problems (e.g. against an authoritarian government). A better solution is to have a nominal fee, maybe $10/yr to be platformed, that way it's expensive to bot.
