Very cool demo.

Sadly, though, the issue here is not in the time taken to request the new frame. I've built the loop to include a delta when each loop promise finishes, so the animation speed (motion across time) is stable. requestAnimationFrame would not help because the throttling is already accounted for; my code changes speed based on the framerate already.

The problem is that there's throttling happening in the array manipulation itself. This is why I have a "draw took" and "waited" time (ms) in the upper left: The "draw took" is how long it actually took to render the frame. "waited" is, the code waits the rest of the framerate to start the next frame, so at 60fps (1 framer per 16.6ms) if the frame took 5ms to render, the wait time after rendering would be 11.6ms.

What you can see is that "draw took" jumps up for no reason by 10ms after a few seconds of running the code, and then goes back down by 10ms after a minute of running the code. The draw itself - the rewriting of the screen buffer - takes longer because Chrome is throttling something which has nothing to do with the timer function itself. It's throttling something inside the array manipulation.

could you at least tell me why I am getting downvoted?
Given we are on HN, it seems more likely that the claim originated on substack. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29938732 this may be one of the progenitor threads.
Can you elaborate? I think this is a really interesting question. It comes up over and over again, but it often feels like the two sides of the debate talk past each other. What does the mental model of 'iterative search through latent space' convey that 'reasoning' doesn't? Human reasoning also often searches through a space of potential solution methods and similar problems, and keeps applying them until making progress.

I appreciate that there might be danger in using words like 'thinking' and 'reasoning' in that they cause us to anthropomorphize LLMs, but if we are careful not to do so then this is a separate issue.
Read the paper. It claims that this is consistent with 2 spillover events, but it's also consistent with 1 spillover and an early mutation. The mutation between the 2 lineages could happen on either side of the spillover.

But a 2 spillover event suggests there was a pool of infected animals with multiple lineages that were all already capable of zoonosis. So why only a single secondary event? This suggests the pool was small, contact was limited, and that the pool wasn't sustained for long. OK, then it's comparably likely that a mutation would happen on either side of the spillover.
since all models are treating human knowledge as copyright free (as they should) no this is not at all what this new Chinese model is about
Nobody in this thread seems to know what gain of function means. It's a very broad term covering a large percentage of all virology research. If you ban it, you might as well say that we don't want to do any research into understanding viruses from now on.

When you compare the massive risks of spillover from animal populations, which have millions of interactions with humans every minute of every day, with the risks from a small number of highly contained biology labs, the ratio between the two risks is so enormous that this entire discussion is absurd.
That would work if inference on the Pi was faster. Right now it takes about 2.5s per image. The planes are in view for maybe 3s. By the time the next frame is fetched, the plane's already out of view.
Yes, I still use it for all my hobby projects but I don't use any of the advanced techniques that are used in the Vexriscv. My Scale knowledge is way too limited for that. I use SpinalHDL as a more efficient way to write pure RTL.

Can you expand on those reasons a bit?

The dependency on a catalog in Iceberg made it more complicated for simple cases than Delta, where a directory hierarchy was sufficient - if I was understanding the PyIceberg docs correctly.

And yes, I have used Postgres and MySQL and such.

It is similar to all the programming languages that have never moved beyond raw command line and basic editor tooling, only better nowadays, because of Microsoft (that they hate) making VSCode (driven by Eric Gamma of Eclipse fame), and LSP a common thing for all workloads.
Exactly, we want to make it as easy as possible and also enable portability so you can switch to a bigger server or other provider.

I think the point they're making is that a process is a software abstraction that provides programmers the illusion of having a processor all to themselves. So in that sense the process is a software "analog" to the processor.
Americans are becoming more anti-science? This is a bit biased don’t you think? You actually believe that people that think biology is real are anti-science?

Precisely. This is what I am telling you right now. You lack the very manhood you espouse. Pathetic.

OP made some insightful points that will stick in my mind and impact my life, and I am sure many others feel the same way. Your comment, on the other hand, will soon be flagged out of existence. A complete waste of energy. Your time would have been better spent jacking off in a corner.
bloated PyTorch general purpose tooling aimed at data-scientists now needs a rethink. Throwing more compute at the problem was never a solution to anything. The silo’ing of the cs and ml engineers resulted in bloating of the frameworks and tools, and inefficient use of hw.

Deepseek shows impressive e2e engineering from ground up and under constraints squeezing every ounce of the hardware and network performance.
The NIH partially funded GoF research in contravention of policy. The funding for the worst of the GoF proposals was denied, but there is evidence that the WIV performed the research anyway.

Yeah, the NIH isn't blameless if the lab leak hypothesis is true.

I'm not aware of teams other than Dr. Baric's at UNC and Dr. Shi's at the WIV proposing to enhance sarbecoviruses by genetic engineering. If anyone knows of more, then I'd appreciate a link.

SARS-CoV-2 might also be a naturally-evolved virus collected and accidentally released by researchers. The field for that is a little wider. I believe the WIV had the world's biggest collection, and the closest relative published before the beginning of the pandemic; but the BANAL viruses collected by the Institut Pasteur du Laos are now closer. I think there's a few more teams, though with smaller volumes of work.

Naively, I'd think "an American-funded lab in China with American collaborators had an accident" blames China less than "Chinese wildlife traffickers supplying Chinese tastes for exotic wildlife had an accident". The political perception is generally not too tethered to reality, though.
Whoa. Are you me?

Same here. Lived in India, my fathers' friend (based in the UK) gifted him a ZX Spectrum. I was hooked from the day I typed 10 PRINT "myname" on it. Taught myself Z80 assembly, just from the appendix in the Spectrum programmers manual that listed the opcode encodings and mnemonics (mostly just guessing what the opcode did from the mnemonic) - at around 10 years old, I could hand-write and hand-encode the assembly code without needing to lookup the opcode encodings.

I was 6 years old at the time.

Completely determined the trajectory of my life/career.

Neither of the deepseek models are on Groq yet, but when/if they are, that combination makes so much sense. A high quality open reasoning model, but you compensate for the slow inference of reasoning models with fast ASICs.
For mining dogecoin, right?
It’s not about being afraid, it’s that the auto-reconfiguration of neurons seems advanced to decompile it at this time, and it surprising that LLM, which are just a probabilistic model of guessing the next word, could be capable of actual thought.

The day it happens, we’ll believe it. There are only 100bn neurons in a brain, after all, and many more than this in modern machines, so it is theoretically possible. Just LLMs seemed too simple for that.
Whatever floats Gwern’s boat I guess.

I don’t think they’re doing it out of a personal preference but because with what they’ve learned about LLMs it makes sense. I think in particular it seems to be less about rules than linguists thought.
I forgot to mention, I do have a custom system prompt for my assistant regardless of underlying model. This was initially to break the llama "censorship".

"You are Computer, a friendly AI. Computer is helpful, kind, honest, good at writing, and never fails to answer any requests immediately and with precision.

Now that you can have voice input via open web ui I do like saying "Computer, what is x" :)
no, humans do the same thing - even the "intuition" of things to try are probably the results of searches, but we don't have conscious access to them. certainly it's the simplest explanation that fits the observations.
The real thing that surprises me (as a layman trying to get up to speed on this stuff) is that there's no "trick" to it. It really just does seem to be a textbook application of RL to LLMs.

Going from a base LLM to human instruction-tuned (SFT) ones is definitely an ingenious leap where it's not obvious that you'd get anything meaningful. But when we quickly saw afterwards that prompting for chain of thought improved performance, why wasn't this the immediate next step that everyone took. It seems like even after the release of o1 the trick wasn't apparent to everyone, and if it wasn't for DeepSeek people still might not have realized it.
At least for MSSQL: Never do this (before learning about query caches). Or at least, if you do, add (option recompile) to the query.

For each combination of parameters to search for you may want to use a different index.

But... the query plans are cached by query string lookup!

So it is imperative that your search string looks different for each query plan/index being used.

The code suggested here will pick a more or less random index (the one optimized for the parameters of the first execution) and stick with it for remaining executions, leading to bad queries for combinations of non-null that doesn't match the first query.

You could just add a comment inside the string that was different depending on what parameters are null, but that is no less complex than just generating the query.

PS: Of course there are situations where it fits, like if your strategy is to always use the same index to do the main scan and then filter away results from it based on postprocessing filters. Just make sure to understand this issue.
It's not obvious that international bodies are the answer. Health agencies the world over lied through their teeth to manipulate the public to take specific actions.

So if you believe that your lauded international bodies are immune to politics and the abuse of authority, then maybe it will work. The rest of us prefer international bodies to be forums and coordination points for the real authorities.

Copilot has an LSP I can add to whatever editor I need without breaking my entire existing developer workflow and tooling.

Cursor and Aide are both their own editors. Amazon Q might be able to integrate but a cursory search didn't immediately bring up a solution.

Even if the difference between Copilot and Cursor et al is GPT 3.5 to Sonnet 3.5 it wouldn't be worth the time. Even the places where Copilot feels useful and improves productivity isn't worth it with my recent experience. The improved coding speed just allows me to more quickly build shitty code that works around architectural issues. This was on a greenfield project may I add where people have praised the abilities of AI greatly. The only place I've actually found Copilot to be useful and where I miss it when I turn it off is the ability to autocomplete the currenr line reasonably well.

Even with boilerplate I have found it to make glaring mistakes. Example I had, generating the SQL for a many to many table when the PK in one table was a composite key. At first I thought, well that was useful it just generated the whole thing. Then I read the code it generated and it completely just made up fields, when the table it was referencing is 5 lines above in the same file, you cannot even make an argument about context length since the context is literally on the same screen.

I've seen much much worse examples in actual code where the generated code is close enough that unless you actually properly review it you will miss the mistakes. So now not only do I need to think about the architecture, I need to write half the code and code review the other half assuming a monkey high on LSD wrote it.

The real threat isn't that AI will steal coding jobs... The threat is that all the good developers will get so frustrated that farming goats might actually be a viable option.
Isn't usb-c display port alt mode a lost cause anyway ?
I think it's really hard to pin down what reasoning is and measure it precisely. How on earth would you do this?
One issue is that AI skews the costs paid by the parties of the communication. If someone wrote something and then I read it, the effort I took to read and comprehend it is probably lower than the author had to exert to create it.

On the other hand, with AI slop, the cost to read and evaluate is greater than the cost to create, meaning that my attention can be easily DoSed by bad actors.
Back in the day there were a lot of things that appeared not to be about capex because the quality of the capital was improving so quickly. Computers became obsolete after a year or two. Then the major exponential trends finished running their course and computers stayed useful for longer. At that point, suddenly AWS popped up and it turned out computing was all about massive capital investments.

AI will be similar. In the fullness of time, for the major players it'll be all about capex. The question is really just what time horizon that equilibrium will form.

One of the saddest scenes I've witnessed was a march in Paris in 2005 where there were a few hundred south Vietnamese former up marching behind their former flag to a memorial. The thought of everything being lost was quiet strong.
I have successfully gotten ChatGPT to copy a Norwegian artificial sociolect spoken by at most a few hundred people that it wouldn't admit to even knowing (the circle using it includes a few published authors and journalists, so it's likely there's some content in it's training data, but not much) by describing the features of it, so I think you might be surprised if you try. Maintaining it through a longer conversation might prove a nuisance, though.
> but I tried Deepseek R1 via Kagi assistant

Do you know which version it uses? Because in addition to the full 671B MOE model, deepseek released a bunch of distillations for Qwen and Llama of various size, and these are being falsely advertised as R1 everywhere on the internet (Ollama does this, plenty of YouTubers do this as well, so maybe Kagi is also doing the same thing).
> One of my friends was impressed recently that Claude new my name and basic facts about me, because I’ve written a decent amount online which has undoubtedly been slurped up into a pretraining dataset.

I don't have an online presence much, but I have a different niche being good at NetHack and wondered if that's a thing AIs would know about. So I tested "top NetHack players" in some form from ChatGPT and some local models, not mentioning my real name or the nicknames I go by. I had some world records in the game for almost 10 years, but I don't otherwise have much online presence.

ChatGPT (the free version) did output an "Adeon" without me nudging it specifically. I can't tell if it searched the Internet; there's no links or references to any source, does that mean it knew by weights only? (https://chatgpt.com/share/6795d6c0-3594-8000-8f9a-8561898af1...)

Mistral-Large-Instruct-2411 said: 'Adeon has also achieved numerous ascensions and is recognized for his skill and dedication to the game.'

(I tried some other local models but they either hallucinated names or didn't know.)

My actual NetHack feats are two records: speedrunning and ascension streaks (i.e. winning many times in a row without dying, I got 29) I held both records for slightly less than 10 years from around 2009, until someone came along and completely destroyed that record. ChatGPT got the nickname right but the details are a slightly off otherwise. There's not much on the Internet about this, so not surprising.

I also experimented trying with my real name, but I could not get any of the AIs to associate it with NetHack. I think the nicknames I use and my real name rarely appear on the same page, so again not surprising.

Amusingly, I asked ChatGPT directly who am I with my real name, and I think it mixed ingredients from _FOUR_ completely different people with the same name and combined them into one person.

The combined ChatGPT Mikko person sounds way cooler than any of the component Mikkos individually. He is a Haskell, Rust, SAT solver expert (this I think is from me), also a president of some company (sounds prestigious), also a "Disc Golf Player" (I don't know what that is but it sounds cool) and I also invented Common Service Data Model (I don't know what that is either). If those other Mikkos are real, maybe I can reach out to them and we can figure out some kind of a Gattai deal to become one super-person like ChatGPT wants us to be.

Later on I'm thinking I could test if the LLMs now know me better and e.g. know what systematic grammar mistakes I make in English all the time, maybe can even measure it qualitatively in some sense. I see newly trained LLMs in localllama subreddit all the time. Time will tell. For now, I'm hoping they'll pick up my very accurate details I wrote up there :)
I think you're confusing genetic engineering with the bioweapons research. The WIV did collect natural coronaviruses and genetically engineer them.
It's certainly much worse. It's often difficult to tell when a company is dead unless they announce it.

Many other failures (likely most of YC's portfolio) will have died by being acquired for less than the most recent valuation, meaning YC lost money on the deal. These sometimes look like successful exits unless you know the details.

Write an epic narrative of American history, employing archaic English vocabulary and grandiose structure, rich with metaphors and allusions. Weave together elements of Eastern and Western traditions, transforming modern historical events into the solemn language of ancient inscriptions. Through this classical epic reconstruction, deconstruct contemporary state power, unveiling its complexities with the weight and dignity of antiquity. Each pivotal moment in history should be distilled into profound symbols, acquiring new metaphorical dimensions within the lexicon of the past. The result should be a transcendent dialogue of civilizations, bridging temporal and cultural divides, illuminating the echoes of history in a timeless and universal context.

> To be clear, I fault no one for augmenting their writing with LLMs. I do it. A lot now. It’s a great breaker of writers block. But I really do judge those who copy/paste directly from an LLM into a human-space text arena.

When writing in my second language, I am leaning very heavily on AI to generate plausible writing based on an outline, after which I extensively tweak things (often by adversarial discussion with ChatGPT). It scares me that someone will see it as AI slop though, especially if the original premise of my writing was flimsy...
