> could do that with a key fob well before connected cars were a thing

I’ve started my Subaru in the lot at 6,500’ from the top of the mountain at 10,500’. A fob isn’t going to scream over that distance.

(None of this requires tracking, however, much less storing a year’s location off the car.)

Yes. This is beyond surreal. Is this normalized now? Since when? I don't understand.
It's an email provider that is well known among HN folks. If this happened we'll surely hear about it.
Do you believe it's fake? There are many kits on the market to turn old bicycles into e-bikes.

As to the USB charging - that's an outlet for charging things like mobile devices, not for charging the battery on the bike.

I'd be interested in something like the hilltoppers front wheel replacement, but the cheapest one being $550 with only 12 miles range seems like too much. The $899 specs are better, but then you're getting into deciding to maybe just buy a whole $1300 ebike instead of paying $900 for the front wheel replacement. I think if these prices were about half of what they're at they'd be selling quite well.

Not really, there's been lots of APIs that have improved on the POSIX model.

The kind of model I prefer is something based on atomicity. Most applications can get by with file-level atomicity--make whole file read/writes atomic with a copy-on-write model, and you can eliminate whole classes of filesystem bugs pretty quickly. (Note that something like writeFileAtomic is already a common primitive in many high-level filesystem APIs, and it's something that's already easily buildable with regular POSIX APIs). For cases like logging, you can extend the model slightly with atomic appends, where the only kind of write allowed is to atomically append a chunk of data to the file (so readers can only possibly either see no new data or the entire chunk of data at once).

I'm less knowledgeable about the way DBs interact with the filesystem, but there the solution is probably ditching the concept of the file stream entirely and just treating files as a sparse map of offsets to blocks, which can be atomically updated. (My understanding is that DBs basically do this already, except that "atomically updated" is difficult with the current APIs).
I can answer 2 of them quite quickly with pen and paper (compsci, physics) and one that I had to look up some definitions on wikipedia (maths) so I am certain there are people who can do more than 5.

The computer science one seems weirdly easy compared to the rest, it's multiple choice and it is very easy to get it by process of elimination even if you don't understand how to actually do the problem.

Maybe remove your fake listings first, all of them are listed by you and use stock photos. What good is a marketplace if none of the listings are real?
The only reliable final test will be a black box test suite that takes your model, executes it in a sealed environment and gives you a grade back, potentially with a performance break down by subject.

No telling companies what the questions look like, what the output format is, what topics are covered, so that there’s no room to make up synthetic data to interpolate from.
I do this manually by appending `__t_tag`, where `t` is a category and `tag` the value.

E.g. `__o_car`, where `o` means object, or `__p_supercode`, where `p` = project, `__t_ml`, where `t` = topic, ml = machine learning, etc.

No dependencies, hardcoded into the files forever, and search is reasonably fast too (don't need it that often anyway).
Glad you liked it. And thanks for reporting, I'll look into the issue.
These responses remind me a bit of how colonial settlers in North America justified their actions by saying the natives weren't "using" the land and resources.

Can't you fathom Trump being criticized organically? You know, the convicted felon that just pardoned the neonazis that attempted to overthrow the government 4 years ago, that undid 60 years of progress by repelling the Civil Rights Act, that appointed his corrupt billionaire friends to every positions in this government but then rants on about how "DEI is taking away our meritocracy".
What amazes me is how dense Westminster is, considering it contains Hyde, Green, St James Park and significant parts of Regents Park and Kensington Gardens

Even with that, it's still the 10th most dense borough.
When 4o came out with its chain of thought, people thought this is it. And today, nobody really cares. Its just another LLM.

Same thing with this.

The other day I was writing some code to compute some geometric angles, and I was getting 2 different results for what I though was the same angle, but in fact I didn't realize that these angles should not be equivalent. No LLM was able to tell me the issue, they just said double check my work.
Its horrible, annoying and gets in the way
> no custom SSML

I believe this used to be available for edge tts, very sad to see they removed it.

If anyone knows of comparable projects that implement something like SSML please do share.

It's definitely a thing already. Look up "RAG" (Retrieval Augmented Generation). Most of the popular closed source companies offer RAG services via their APIs, and you can also do it with local llms using open-webui and probably many other local UIs.
A common term for the most extreme of these groups is accelerationists. They believe in actually accelerating collapse to bring about the conditions for change.

It's the kind of thing that's easy to believe when everything is abstract and you don't think about how this would affect real people.
I don't know why it only just now occurred to me to wonder how you measure the KG of something lighter (less dense) than air.

I know mass is not the same measurement as weight, but we still mostly use weight to measure mass, don't we?

Obviously this has already been solved for helium, but is it just measuring volume and converting? Or pressure level in a known volume? Or I guess if you pressurize it enough it'll be more dense than air.

What a fun problem!
> I wired one up

“One”? Wired up how? There is a huge difference between the best and worst. They aren’t fungible. Which one? How long ago? Did it even support FIM (fill in middle), or was it blindly guessing from the left side? Did the plugin even gather appropriate context from related files, or was it only looking at the current file?

If you try Copilot or Cursor today, you can experience what “the best” looks like, which gives you a benchmark to measure smaller, dumber models and plugins against. No, Copilot and Cursor are not available for emacs, as far as I know… but if you want to understand if a technology is useful, you don’t start with the worst version and judge from that. (Not saying emacs itself is the worst… just that without more context, my assumption is that whatever plugin you probably encountered was probably using a bottom tier model, and I doubt the plugin itself was helping that model do its best.)

There are some local code completion models that I think are perfectly fine, but I don’t know where you will draw the line on how good is good enough. If you can prove to yourself that the best models are good enough, then you can try out different local models and see if one of those works for you.
It would depend on the reliability of the model to produce deterministic results. So far that’s been pretty tough.
The name is obviously a bit stupid, but based on the sample questions I think they did a good job of creating a harder version of the existing academic question benchmarks.

The questions are possible for a smart person familiar with the subject but still just beyond SOTA models.

My guess is that within the next few years we will have models that can ace this test but are still bizarrely bad at things we find easy.
This is well worth a visit if you're remotely near the area. We visited a few years back, and the kids thought it might be worth going back for a second day.

One bit of interest -- if constructed back in the 1300s, it would have probably taken 4 years or so. Funding is the biggest difference, historically it would have been built from a rich patron's pockets with no desire to wait 25 years for the protection and image it would provide.

Maybe. This also introduces other confounders. More fundamentally, those data won’t be as broad nor as granular (particular home-value data, which get notoriously obscured e.g. in jurisdictions with high property tax or transfer rates).

I used to wear sport watch rubber/resin bands (like G-Shocks) but am way more conscious nowadays and opt for metal band watches. At the same time, while I feel like the lawsuit may have a legit point there containing these harmful materials, if you buy a rubber-based wearable, you shouldn't be surprised that it may contain forever chemicals.

If you could seriously consider the idea of giving accounts support based on their total account spend rather than zone plans (such as if you spend over 200/mo you get business support regardless of your zone plans) it would have let us get suitably prompt chat support for most of our issues over the years, probably including this one, without the need of the public jgc batsignal.
There is (a collector's market) of course, the provenance can be hard to come by though. There has always been a joke in the Bay Area about buying the product you helped design and ship at the "DeAnza Flea Market" (which is actually the AVSRO flea market[1] but was held in the DeAnza community college for many years).

There is some nostalgia there, especially from former employees. But generally the 'premium' is limited[2]. Mostly because collectibles have to 'connect' with the collector in some way, and outside of a relatively small community a lot of startup stuff doesn't really make that connection.

[2] I have a super rare jacket from "First Person Inc" the wholly owned subsidiary Sun created for Project Green/Oak/Java that has an embroidered 'Fang' (the Java mascot) and the product name 'WebRunner'. Only given out to the original Java team. WebRunner was the name of the Hotjava browser before Sun's lawyers chickened out because Taligent had a similar trademark. I expect it is worth over 10 times what Bryan paid for the logowear t-shirt at Goodwill (0.25) :-). It would probably be worth more if was Gosling's jacket instead of mine.

OAI has decided to stop aligning models and focus on aligning the users instead.
I suspect there are a number of very human reasons why an author wouldn't want to do that. I also suspect the output would be pretty different.

I find the idea kind of revolting, but I am also surprised that collaborative writing is so rare. I suppose it cuts to the question of what the point of writing the book is in the first place.

There is no big blue light crowd. There has always only been the "blue light is bad" position, which was completely ignored by the industry (with display colour defaults especially) until that turned around completely, after the success of f.lux broke a barrier I think.

Please notice two things: 1. It's not even about whether blue light might be harder on the eyes in general, but whether it matters on the brightness levels consumer devices are usually used (so astronomers are completely irrelevant to that discussion, and so is a modern phone at night at full brightness) and what the actual effects are in practice 2. It's an astonishing position to take, to at the one hand realize there is no scientific basis for the claim, but still act 100% convinced. Especially for an academic.

It's also not obvious why "night vision preservation" might be relevant. We are not talking about looking at things during the dark, but at (more or less brighly) illuminated objects.

I don't have skin in this game and likely won't respond further. I even have a weak red light shift active while writing this (I feel like it might help with the sleep rhythm a bit). But I am absolutely saying that claims like this need scientific evidence and that it is foolish to believe in such things only because it's currently a popular claim, to take that position that absolutely. This is not the correct way of thinking, and there is no need to not leave space for doubt.
Holy shit you killed it! Congratulations.

I don't think this is necessary true. I can imagine a future in which we have robots that can do 99% of human jobs but there's one thing they are strangely bad at some otherwise unimportant skill that can be used as a captcha.

ARM does originate from education — the Acorn RISC Machine was created by Acorn following on from the success of the BBC computer, which was developed to improve computing education in schools. It was first used in the Acorn Archimedes computer.

Acorn Archimedes which used it was relatively expensive though — £686 (without monitor) in 1990.

I'd say start even smaller by making a simple `flake.nix` with a devShell output within a project and use it to manage the project's dependencies, that way you're experiencing it within a fairly constrained opt-in environment. Nix is simple when you 'get it' but it can be quite overwhelming for someone new to it, Home-Manager is pretty big and has regions of complexity and while it might be a good candidate for daily driving Nix without running NixOS, IMO it's best to start really small.

I’m glad that users who lost their data got a free month out of it, what a deal, imagine you had to pay them for losing your data.

It’s wild that a hosted database provider can fumble it so bad. They first highlight that the program is beta, so it’s really your fault, then continue with the two paragraphs excuses and then go ahead and say it is not an excuse.

Didn’t they just have layoffs, too? Disgruntled employee sabotaging the company? The person in charge of not nuking customer data was fired?
Holy shit, you've made it!

> if you are convicted of drug trafficking, money laundering and criminal enterprise, and you are appealing the length of the sentence, its very difficult to appeal

That's what I'm getting at. The premise is that this guy is Al Capone. But if he was actually guilty of murder then they should have convicted him of murder, whereas if he was only guilty of running a website, those penalties are crazy. Not because they don't ever get handed out or Congress didn't put them in the statute, but because they have within them the assumption that you're a drug cartel. And then because drug cartels are murder factories, the penalties are extreme and inappropriate outside of that specific context.

But the courts are bound to follow the law, which is the problem, because those laws are nuts. They're even nuts in the context of the actual drug cartels, because what they should be doing there is the same thing -- getting severe penalties by charging them with the actual murders, not putting life sentences on the operation of a black market regardless of whether or not there is any associated violence.

It's the same reason people are so eager to lean into the unproven murder allegations to justify the sentence -- it's intuitively obvious that without them, the penalties are excessive.

I recall a psychologist or psychiatrist who challenged the notion of "defiant personality disorder" by observing two things:

(1) Many of these "defiant" people merely didn't trust credentials -- they were perfectly fine with authority who earned deference by virtue of proving they really do know what they are doing, and

(2) That the psychology/psychiatry profession in general, consisting of people who have their Masters and PhDs, have to "suck up" to a lot of credentialed authority, without question, to get their degrees -- and thus it's only natural for them to expect everyone to unconditionally respect credentials!

(For the record, I have a PhD, but it's in pure math, which is possibly simultaniously both the least practical and most practical thing you could possibly learn -- but as such, I'm tangential to engineering and physics -- and I'm pretty sure that all three of these fields have a certain "fine, you have a credential, but can you really walk the walk?" element to them.)
I don't think that's really relevant, because there is an actual need for a new benchmark given how the existing ones either keep getting saturated or are probably out of the reach for the next generation of models.

The closest existing thing is the frontierAI benchmark but that's just maths whereas this is more diverse.
> "Intelligence" itself is very ill-defined and we've never been able to measure it properly, IQ is rife with issues.

Yes, because it is 1st person exclusively. If you expand a bit, consider "search efficiency". It's no longer just 1st person, it can be social. And it doesn't hide the search space. Intelligence is partially undefined because it doesn't specify the problem space, it is left blank. But "search efficiency" is more scientific and concrete.

I used GPT-4 (entirely) to convert a Vimium-based browser control project from Python to Typescript[0].

Unlike this demo, it uses a simpler interface (Vim bindings over the browser) to make control flow easier without a fine-tuned model (e.g. type “s” instead of click X,Y coords)

I was surprised how well it worked — it even passed the captcha on Amazon!

For me Copilot is at the plateau of productivity. When I'm trying to figure out how to test for certain things with Mockito it gives me working examples faster than I'd figure out if it was me and my lonesome with the manual. If I don't know why something works it often gives a correct answer. It does take some critical thinking to use it successfully, but the same is true for StackOverflow.

I've also gotten good advice on subjects such as voice acting.

Trying to knock out quick prototypes with other code assistants I'd say I have a 50% success rate. For some circumscribed tasks I've had good luck with existing code bases but if the problem is something like "figure out how somebody managed to download a file they shouldn't have downloaded and make sure it never happens again" you'd be a fool to even try using one.

OK. And why is that a waste? If you need it, you need it.
It's giving a reply that "sounds right to a human" in context. Which, on small scale, is exactly what they, me and you are also doing when writing (or speaking), except for the infrequent cases when we force ourselves to reason through stuff very. slowly.

(This is why I believe LLM performance is best judged against human inner voice/system 1 reasoning, not the entirety of human thinking. When thinking with system 1, people don't really have an idea what they're doing either - they're just doing stuff that feels right.)

Also note that "sounds right to a human" is literally the loss function on which LLMs are trained, so between heaps of training inputs and subsequent extensive RLHF, the process is by its very construction aiming optimizing for above-human-average performance across the board.
