I'm (we all are) constantly reminded to update our phones to latest available updates, but sh*t like this is what teaches users to instead disable and ignore updates indefinitely, under the premise of "if it works don't touch it" (addendum: "... because most probably an update will break it")

And here I am, ignoring updates on my Pixel 6a since October 2024 (there were reports of crashes or bricking, what a surprise) and planning to keep doing that for the foreseeable future.

Sucks having to choose between a potentially (even likely, seeing the trend) broken device or an unsecured one. Pick your poison.
Did they, though? Polling fairly consistently shows that people don’t _like_ this stuff, and there’s some evidence that the more familiar with it they become the less they like it. I think Microsoft et al were betting on people liking it (that was certainly their thinking with Clippy, too) but that doesn’t seem to be working out for them.

Migrating from Fider due to security issues: Tool to migrate Discourse
Fider was getting troublesome: Spam feature requests, no moderation, no comment rate limits, and minimal sorting options. These and more risks pushed to migrate to Discourse

Built an open-source migration tool that migrates topics, posts, comments, votes, and even creates ghost users to do anonymized migration compliant with GDPR. The migration happens from Fider's offline backup and uses the Discourse API.

Takes care of Discourse's API rate limits and can even migrate responses.

As this is HN, I'm curious if there is anyone here on HN who is interested in starting a business hosting these large open source LLM's?

I just finished a test of running this Deepseek-R1 768 GB model locally on a cluster of computers with 800 GB/s memory bandwidth (faster than the machine in the twitter post) and I can now extrapolate to a cluster with 6000 GB/s aggregate memory bandwidth and I'm sure we can reach higher speeds than Groq and Cerebras [1] on these large models.

We might even be cheap enough in OPEX to retrain these models.

Would anyone with cofounder or commercial skills be willing to set up this hosting service with me, it will take less than $30K investment but could be profitable in weeks?

My pixel 4a lasted about 3 hours before the update, now its about an hour. Even with the discount in the store, it was cheaper to get the pixel 8a and some cash from a local vendor. The ticket to get the reimbursement went surprisingly fast, still waiting on money though.

Yesterday I got my new 8a, installed grapheneos and it works very well! So far no massive issues. When I tried this on the 4a some years ago, netflix complained about general certificate stuff and casting was broken, microG et al was barely holding on. Now, no problems at all!

> How did you get diagnosed eventually? What all tests did you go thru first?

When entering the office of an endocrinologist for something unrelated they asked if I was there for some thing (which I guess was "prolactinoma") which was not the case; they still told me to get my prolactin levels checked because I had "the body for that". Their guess was right.
I was really lucky as usually it is diagnosed in men when they start losing peripheral vision or producing milk.

SQL Server has table-valued parameters, they are close to the functors described in the article, with the difference that TVPs define the whole table structure, instead of a subset of columns, as proposed. I liked the functors idea, to be honest, I've always wondered why this doesn't exist in SQL.

Surveillance represents a pretty big market though and the OEMs are not getting them from Best Buy.

Most storage workloads read more than they write. Surveillance is the opposite. You are always writing. Much ( maybe almost all ) of what you write is never used and is simply overwritten again.

The customer base for computing has expanded probably 3 or 4 fold or more from those windows xp days in the US. Maybe for the subset of the population that was word processing back then it was annoying.

The time pressures of every day life, which has gotten more complicated, are probably why we gravitate towards instant gratification more often.

You said people don't have time, so they resort to scrolling or whatever. All I'm saying is that time limitations and excess complexities are largely self-imposed. If you (general you) want to continue commuting and working long hours and not having the bandwidth to do anything else, you do you. But admit that that's on you.
> The kid who grew up in Norway who is now sitting in a U.S. public school classroom may very well have higher English literacy and proficiency.

Yes, of course. But if they learned English in Norway, then their performance isn't a reflection of the US school system, and so doesn't reflect on its educational quality. Does that make sense?

> I admit that when I read your ''don't saeek English well'' comment I assumed you also meant reading and writing.

I did, of course. It's pretty rare to be good at reading and writing a language without being able to speak it too.

Seriously. I did not realize Gizmodo was at that point with opportunistic clickbait, but apparently it is.

It is, in general, a poorly understood disease (as lots of others in the thread are pointing out). And everybody's case is different.

I will point out that I've never gotten so much unsolicited low-quality advice before, though; people who barely know me will make a very confident diagnosis on-the-spot once they hear I've got a long-term illness. E.g., “you're vitamin D deficient” (no, I'm not, and anyways, I've been taking vitamin D supplements for three months just in case, with no effect). I'm sure they mean well, but it becomes tiring really fast when everyone does it. (There's a select few people who seem to be much more careful about throwing our random crap like that, including, unsurprisingly, all the doctors I know.)

There are loads of examples on the internet of LLMs pushing (foreign) government narratives e.g. on Israel-Palestine.

Just because you might agree with the propaganda doesn't make it any less problematic.
Whether it's true or not, world leader's ears are being filled with the claim that whoever wins the AI race wins everything, because AI will be able to win every other contest. They're being told it is winner-take-all like no contest has been winner-take-all before.

Also, the same people that complain about this are just fine with a western government having access to the same data via big corporations. Why being democratic gives you a free access card to disregard privacy, in other words, doing exactly the opposite of what is expected from a free society?

Apparently it relies on ECN, so that makes sense:

Last year I worked with someone who used AI tools like this, to compensate for their lack of English. It was dreadful beyond belief and basically unworkable.

Lack of comprehension on what other people said was a big issue. But also having four incomprehensible paragraphs thrown at me for what could be six words (not infrequently based on a misunderstanding of a very basic simple sentence).

I'm not a native speaker either, but the only way to learn a language is to actually use it. For better or worse, English is the modern world's lingua franca.
The default model on ollama is the 7b distillation.

Its ability to solve basic math problems with reasoning is pretty cool, but other models of that size (qwen 2.5, phi4) have been generally more useful to me.

These tiny models still strike me as toys, not a whole bunch of real-world utility.
Anthropic is, according to themselves, using RLAIF... which is basically using LLM as a judge / reward model. So maybe he means that the models they use for RLAIF are not (much?) more expensive than Sonnet 3.5 (e.g. previous Sonnet or Haiku 3 :)).
Actually that's pretty cool. Takes you literally and seriously.

What did you expect the machine to understand subtleties and responding like an informal friend?

It's not pretentious to quote Martin Luther King.
It's all kinda hidden. The documentation steers you towards SSR or assumes it. It appears as though you can't have client side routing without a roundtrip to the server. Take a looked at the "page" documentation immediately under Routing.

The most interesting part is that China has been ahead of the US in AI for many years, just not in LLMs.

You need to visit mainland China and see how AI applications are everywhere, from transport to goods shipping.

I'm not surprised at all. I hope this in the end makes the US kill its strict IP laws, which is the problem.

If the US doesn't, China will always have a huge edge on it, no matter how much NVidia hardware the US has.

And you know what, Huawei is already making inference hardware... it won't take them long to finally copy the TSMC tech and flip the situation upside down.

When China can make the equivalent of H100s, it will be hilarious because they will sell for $10 in Aliexpress :-)

That's a reasonable nitpick; tail-recursion is just a special case of tail-calls, and you can do tail-calls without TCE, just not unboundedly.
This is why models should be open. Or at least they should have a local option.
When you look deep enough, nearly all 'tech' products costs are IP. For IP, it costs nothing to include a feature locked out.

Even real hardware is usually like this. An expensive camera is probably only expensive because it had more R&D go into it and all of its components. The actual sand to make the silicon chips didn't cost any extra.

Unfortunately, the way todays capitalist society works, it's pretty hard to say "I'd like to buy 1 million of your camera sensors please, and I'd like to have 200k of them be high performance and 800k be kinda noisy, but I'll let you know which are the high performance ones after I sell them".

A really vertically integrated company like Apple could do it though - and they do, selling super high performance chips in cheap iPads, but software locked to not run a decent desktop OS - for that you have to buy a macbook with the same chip for triple the money.
Going with the flow here, does that mean if I build a little script that downloads just enough movies, songs and books from the internet I don't have to obey the current law, because it is a) too expensive, and/or b) impractical?

I'm sure you already see the folly of that argument.

Anyhow, flowing on, the allegedly totally inefficient governments of this world routinely contact millions and millions of legal entities, and many of them are poorer than Microsoft, Google, or even OpenAI, yet they somehow manage. So it seems to be practical.

Of course, that does not answer the cost thing, we all know governments just print more fiat money...

So we have been told that IP is indeed property and the property owner has a right to compensation for use. Nobody ever told me that I just have to be blatant enough to be scot-free. And I guess Sony, Warner Bros., Atlantic et. al. didn't get the memo either, or why would they sue a single university student for 4.5 million dollars? [1] This seemed and was much too much for a single university student to pay. So "too expensive" is off the table, too. Weird world.

What's so hard about a specific authentication flow?

You have a user, a client app, a resource service, and an authorization service. You have a sequence of requests that send data back and forth. The end result is a token that client apps can send to a resource service. What bit requires volumes to understand?

Take a minute to check RFC6749. All authorization flows in there require between 2 to 6 pages to fully define. Is this too much info to parse?

Congrats on the paper! I read through some of the github docs and read through the paper, this sounds very impressive, but I'm trying to think of how to best use this in practice... is the idea that I could give some kind of high-level task/project description (like a Python project), and this framework would intelligently update its own prompting to avoid getting stuck and to continue "gaining skill" throughout the process of working on a task? Could this be used to build such a system? Very curious to learn more.
Well, anyone who will flex their spine in every (im)possible position as required of them, just to get even more money and power.

Later edit: The way this submission fell ~400th spots after just two hours despite having 1250 points and 550 comments, had its comments flagged and shuffled around to different submissions as soon as they touched too close to YC&Co is a good mirror of how today's society works.
The mRNA vaccine tells your cells to create the spike protein that was isolated from the original virus for about 48 hours at levels much lower than the virus itself. mRNA is used up by this process which is why your cells stop producing the spike protein and go back to their previous functions. Your immune system then attacks the spike protein and is better adapted to do this next time giving you better protection.

The virus takes over your cells completely turning them into covid virus factories destroying them in the process the new viruses then continues until your immune system can stop this. During this time the amount of spike protein from the viruses are much higher by order of magnitude than with the mRNA vaccine along with the damage cause by the virus replicating itself.

The spike protein is thought to have some adverse effects around heart issues, it is not well understood. However the risk is thought to be much higher from the virus than the vaccine due to shear volume of spike protein and the data seems to confirm this.
