1. yes, with reservations

2. yes! but I'd like specific things that a lot of models don't do well quite yet, like accurate, complete citing and contextualizing with quotes across sources, etc.

3. Eh, pretty unexcited but I can see some limited utility.

4. 100% no.

5. Skeptical but there's definitely some good use cases here: smaller bug fixes and linting/vuln/anit-pattern scanning could be good applications, but I'm not sure if its better than the existing non-ai tools.

6. Maybe? If you mean code, existing refactor tools are pretty darn good and are deterministic, they do the thing or they don't. If the tool can't make strong guarantees about that, I'm not interested.

7. Yeah I think that's pretty good. Related: I think there's an application for detecting consistency issues between products/pages/etc that should have a unified design and UX.

8. That's basically #2?

9. I think execs will dump the tool the first time it makes the wrong decision, and I think people the tool reaches out to on behalf of the exec won't take those communications as seriously.

10. No. That's spam, full-stop.

11. No. User's aren't going to take it seriously and aren't going to respond in the same way. Will also be a reputational risk. "Would you mind taking a survey about your experience with our product?" followed by a chat conversation with an AI is going to be dragged online.

12. Absolutely no one wants this.

13. You mean as an accessibility feature? Because I could definitely see that.

I'll bring up that the original question was what ways would you want AI integrated into products. Not "what ways are people integrating AI in a desperate chance to hop on the boat" (to borrow the metaphor from the article).
Yep, the fear has to go, and it will.
"Longevity Island" Harvard,MIT-> NYU,Columbia Chats
Sup y'all!

Currently still at MIT if anyone is around & would like to hang out, before I get to NYC later.

Let's chat all things related to Bryan Johnson's trip to the GARM clinic on the island of Roatán.

Infinita is the replacement name for the pop-up city called Vitalia. Located in Próspera, which is deemed a special economic zone by Honduras.

These meetups serve as info sessions for what life looks like on the island, working on neural interfaces, Healthspan SOPs, & biohacking projects.

Our company is Quantization Research Labs, aka QuantResLabs, & we'll host additional meet ups on the west coast. [Lastly] I'll have Columbia's Partiful/Luma link up later today. In same thread.
He is also not cheering its “coming” but worried about the misuse of its power. You can say the same thing about other powerful inventions and their inventors.
It is incredible how much unearned good will this generated over its lifespan.

Nowadays you could not get away with it. But once the meta shifts again there may be another timespan in which it is possible to run with it.

Firefox on macOS is also completely borked. At least with my freescrolling Logitech Master MX 2. I'll scroll and it will jump the expected amount, I'll scroll some more and it will jump about 4-5x what I expect, and then I'll scroll some more and it will go backward in the page. The site is pretty much unusable for me.
Idolatry, as used by christians, naturally excludes their God from its definition. To me who doesn't believe in their God, there isn't much difference in finding solace in the christian God or in the coming of AGI. This is why I don't think Singularitarianism is bad because it is christian idolatry, but because it is a religious belief.

Half the comments here are talking about this story as if it's a piece of factual evidence that proves an ideological point, so it seems valuable to ask if the story actually happened.
I'm working on a mobile app that lets you playback projects created in Audiocube and gives you full control over where your listening position.

It's definitely possible to have head tracking, I think it will just depend on what headphones and hardware offer it. It would be cool to give you that kind of VR listening experience but just on headphones
>We've barely started to hook these things up on our business processes and companies are investing heavily right now in doing so.

They said the same thing for ML, VR, and lots of other things, and they were fads...
Is there a gguf version that could be used with llamafile?
"The good old days" is a worn trope, but there may be a point.

Women's employment and/or compensation in the United States peaked approximately two decades ago, and has since declined. Xi Jingping wasn't China's dictator yet, so China was a bit more free. Crimea hadn't been annexed yet, and Russians had much more access to the internet. The alt-right was still in its infancy. Brexit hadn't happened yet.

Hence, when a British think tank claims freedom is falling across the world, I'm inclined to believe it. And levels of authoritarianism are inversely correlated with trust.

On the flipside, a whole generation of people across many of the poorest parts of the world have experienced increases of standards of living due to globalization.
Video Game History Foundation's digital library opens in early access
The system seems fundamentally broken. Why can Google not just be transparent? It could read like,

"Dear customer, to limit the risk of your aging battery catching fire, we are substantially degrading your usable battery capacity..."

But instead, they both try and frame it as an improvement to "battery stability", and then also offer an "appeasement" in the form of a BS coupon. Obviously, you don't offer an appeasement for an improvement, so just call it what it is -- a degradation.

Meanwhile, all these people that are installing LinenageOS, are they turning their phones into personal ticking firebombs?

Is there a safety issue, or not? If there is, then it should be discussed. If there's not, then wtf is all this crippling of everyone's devices about?

But as consumers we have very little leverage to affect change, and as a large corporation, Google apparently has little incentive to be transparent.
Yea I had the same thought, its a ticky-tacky thing to say right now, but I wouldn't expect any more from the other side either.
How might AI change programming?
But you can't just exclude them. They are part of the cost.
unpopular opinion - but public workers should not be able to go on strike, and in fact shouldn't even be allowed to unionize. it's antithetical to democracy. they should simply run for office and change things, not hold taxpayers' services hostage.

unions make sense for private organizations because private organizations are effectively authoritarian entities, not democracies. there is no mechanism in which you could actually "vote" anyone out or establish a leadership position by virtue of popular support, and most importantly there's no constituency to air grievances to
The purpose of scouting is not to be followed, but to find obstacles and hazards, that may need to be circumnavigated, or overcome.

In the course of their duties, a scout may need to travel across rougher terrain than the main group, as scouting often involves seeking higher ground to surveil the planned path from a different angle. The scout will have to retrace their steps many times to find paths suitable for the entire group, with or without equipment, or for the weakest members. The group may need to split up to outflank a threat, or to accomodate the mission parameters. It is the scout's duty to identify hazards and report them back to the group.
As long as it also affects the investigation to find out its all the same to a psychopath.
Thanks for the headsup
Right--though pretty rare in my experience. Though you can always(?) ask for a hand check rather than going through the more invasive scanner.

Haven't used film for a while :-) Back in the film days, at least latterly I traveled with my film in a lead-lined bag.
Just spitballing, but in C it was always the convention to use zero-based indexing. Probably because you were often adding these indexes to pointers (literal memory addresses) to index into an array, so you needed a zero to index into the first slot of the array.
Compilers aren't deterministic in the ways that people would think matter.

We will have LLM based compilers in the near future. Determinism is a property of the system, not the components.
But they didn't manage to shift the priority of the entire microchip industry just to support it...

I take this as a sign that AI is here to stay.
As the "pipe" gets longer the size (diameter, length/width...) needs to get bigger too. This link doesn't do that and the pipes are the worse for it though he made a number of other "mistakes" that made is not as good as it could be - but hey it works and doesn't sound too bad so give it credit even if it isn't ideal.

Because you would be coupling the pipes it would change things. However how much isn't clear. The important thing is each pipes sounds the same other than the pitch so if you go from a flute sound to a trumpet sound that would be bad, but if it all sounds like the same instrument except for the pitch you did great. I think any negative could be mitigated by just having a few "pipes" on the end that never have air but are there only to 'finish' the resonance of the nearby pipes. The important thing is that the pipes end up in tune and sound the same other than pitch. You can do that.

Now the next question is if you follow the same plan again can you get a set of pipes that sound like a different instrument from the first. Or more importantly can you get enough different sounds to be worth it? I'm not clear.
From M-W dictionary:
Fad : a practice or interest followed for a time with exaggerated zeal : CRAZE

Books are also a fad, if "for a time" stretches across lifetimes; advanced technology that requires some infrastructure, dependent on a complex system, but not nearly as much as computers do, nevermind AI, and which is popular amongst a subset of people.
Ignore earth-systems collapse and the underlying technology that keeps these fads afloat will cease to function.

Computers are a cool diversion but not essential for human "survival and thrival", nor is our widespread embracing of the technology without consequences for life on earth.

I would far rather talk with other biased humans than the regurgitations of some biased amalgam-bot made with stolen data, even if it can act syncretically.
My bias is as a high-school science teacher who likes helping students gain understanding about the world, and hopefully wisdom, a sense of awe and responsibility, and their own sense of purpose.
The reason is that the copper is already there, it gets etched away. So it actually costs more to not have copper than to have it.
Artificial intelligence has no degree of sanctity at all, because it is dead matter. You have already been confused.
> This has nothing to do with threading

Right, but all the promises of the type system have to lead to a first-class multi-threading experience at some point.

The safest concurrent program isn't a single-threaded program.
TLDR: if you knew APL in the USSR, there’s a 99.9% you were working on the nuclear program.
Wouldn't it make more sense to make a statically typed language? Like Crystal is to Ruby?

> You have some misconceptions about C and undefined behavior.

The discussion is about RAM and Rust, not C. And the particular use of uninitialized data in C that corresponds to the linked article (as a target buffer for a read call) is clearly not undefined behavior.

This is a classic HN tangent, basically. You're making the discussion worse and not better.

The question is "Why can't Rust act like C when faced with empty buffers?", and the answer has nothing to do with undefined behavior or unsafe. They just got it wrong.
I get your point, but also
1) It helps me focus on the themes first, like scanning a good non-fiction book to know what I am diving into
2) I'm not catholic, but would love some context going in on it.
3) It's a lot of individual blocks and I'd like to know does that mean they're leary, pro, what are the guidelines so helping find the themes or key topics like is there a benefit to AI and maybe using it to summarize and getting to this parapgrah quickly: 0. In light of the foregoing discussion, the differences between human intelligence and current AI systems become evident. While AI is an extraordinary technological achievement capable of imitating certain outputs associated with human intelligence, it operates by performing tasks, achieving goals, or making decisions based on quantitative data and computational logic. For example, with its analytical power, AI excels at integrating data from a variety of fields, modeling complex systems, and fostering interdisciplinary connections. In this way, it can help experts collaborate in solving complex problems that “cannot be dealt with from a single perspective or from a single set of interests.”[64]
Nice work! Can you export for multichannel playback or is it binaural / stereo?
“12. AI’s advanced features give it sophisticated abilities to perform tasks, but not the ability to think.”

I suspect that the above sentence will be revised once we have abundant super-human intelligence thinking machines.
There is only so much you can do to simplify such a complex domain as time.
ML is used extensively in business and I don’t see any indication that it’s fading. I don’t think I saw any real effort to put VR into business processes. Hype around AR has popped up and fizzled quickly a few times, but still no real push.
You are right on a lot of things, but LLMs are the best bijective lens that humanity has ever discovered. They can invert functions we didn't think were invertible.

If given a mostly correct transform from binary back to code, how would we fix that?

Exactly!

Heuristics are dead.
There is a rather distinct type of nose which I've only ever observed with people of Ukrainian ethnic descent.

Now I wonder if that is in fact some type of adaptation to local climate because the people of the surrounding areas don't seem to have that nose shape to the same extent.
> I am not aware of a culture where most of these roles are not females.

Literally Europe, in between the time when births moved to hospitals and before women became doctors. There were no "midwifes" nor "doulas" present during birth.

Also, literally whole communist block the whole time and also long after the communism felt. While midwifes and doulas just were not a thing. The nurses are all women, doctors used to be almost only men and now are mix of men and women.

"Lost trust" implies that they ever trusted big tech in the first place. I doubt that.
It may have taken 56 years, but this comprehensively resolves the question about whether shell is better than GUI in favor of shell. Thanks to the endless composability of shell, just this one program finally fixes the biggest flaws in text file handling in Unix, but the GUI equivalent would be quite complicated and composes poorly. This vindicates all of the original developers of UNIX once and for all.

You are trading your time for some good or service. Whether it’s free or not is irrelevant. If I said I don’t like Truth Social. But I’m always on it, what does that tell you?
nah. both sides actively propagandize about each other. they'll emphasize the negative as much as possible and omit any mitigations.

> all Instant databases are hosted under one Aurora Postgres instance

Doesn't the increase the chances of one bad tenant taking the database down for all other tenants?
Oh, wow.

How about if we have two farmers with similar patches of land, one works it exactly to his needs, consuming everything he produces. The other one works as hard as he can, weekends included, with the surplus irrigating and buying tools and more land that make him extra productive, such as 10 years down the road he has amassed significant wealth while his neighbor is still living from harvest to harvest.

Still unfair?
>Brave New World is actually a utopian story told from the perspective of a weird shut-in who only reads Shakespeare and the Bible.

What local models are you currently using and what issues are you facing?
I can understand this sentiment as well.

On one hand I'm a bit hesitant trusting a GP because of a human factor. Doctors may be overwhelmed with patients and your fate kind of depends on their mood today and General Proficiency (couldn't miss this pun).

On the other hand, I feel scared about perspective talking to a chat bot instead of a real person when it comes to my health.

I think, my best bet would be to keep physical GPs but build some tools to make their job more efficient. How to avoid the situation that they are getting lazy and blindly accepting all the AI proposals? I don't know. I hope we will find the way!
You'll note I called it a "corporate nightmare" and didn't describe as anything like the white horse coming to the rescue of the consumer.
I lean on the idea that R1-Zero was trained from cold start, at the same time, they have tried many things including using OpenAI APIs. These things can happen in parallel.
Not every day these days do I encounter a new word: proleptic.

1 the anticipation and answering of possible objections in rhetorical speech.

2 the representation of a thing as existing before it actually does or did so, as in he was a dead man when he entered. Compare with analepsis: the destruction of the Vendôme Column and his part in it are foreshadowed in moments of haunting prolepsis.
And you can't see how far ahead things are compared to 20 years ago in India?

Point 3 is very important and something that needs to be done more often. I would also say have someone who works in the domain you're writing about read it and give feedback.
> I have no stake here

I don't want to sound flippant, but if you have no familiarity with a system and what it does, then you won't be able to make any useful judgments about it. This new administration has made it clear that they do not know the function of these agencies but have decided to destroy their structures. As a concerned bystander who has some knowledge and stake in them continuing to function, it is deeply painful to witness

mmh. Yesterday i tried some LLM-augmented "analysis", given a 50 lines source

I get decent JSON from it quite well with the "assistant: {" trick. I'm not sure how well trained it is to do JSON. The template on ollama has tools calls so I assume they made sure JSON works: https://ollama.com/library/mistral-small:24b/blobs/6db27cd4e...

imo gemini-exp-1206 is the best public LLM that exists right now.
There are a few storylines that you can try to immerse yourself in, but they're very heady, ambiguous stories that seem intended to make you wonder if the universe is a simulation running on an unstable computer, without ever committing to any concrete explanation for anything.

The endgame is mining lots of metals and making warp fuel and diving into black holes repeatedly to get to the center of the galaxy, after which you can traverse to the next galaxy, which has different distributions of types of stars and planets, and differently colored galactic nebula. There are 256 galaxies in total.
>ML is used extensively in business

For useless things that were tacked on during the hype because everything "needed to have" VR

>and I don’t see any indication that it’s fading

The hype cycle and huge ML valuations and "this is the new huge industry" and job demand had faded since years
I think the problem is seeking social cohesion to begin with, and seeing the US government as the tool that controls it. I think historically people had a much greater sense of distinct social spheres and political spheres.
None of that is really contributing to revenue, and AI isn’t cheap to run. How is any of that worth it?
Bookmarked - I don't want to miss a thing.
Remember in the mid-90s when people talked about the internet being a fad? I think AI is a fad in the same way, which is to say not a fad at all no matter how much certain entrenched interests wish it were so.
That's a VM feature. I mean, yes, if you change your process's memory space between accesses you break whatever the compiler might have assumed. You don't need fancy flags, either! Just, y'know, munmap() will do.
