Maybe this is peak AI panic?

It seems wild that someone could unironically talk about tools “disempowering” their users. Like, I get it, C disempowers programmers by shielding them from assembly language, and Cuisinarts disempower chefs, and airplanes disempower travelers by not making them walk through each territory.

But… isn’t that a pretty tortured interpretation of tool use? Doesn’t it lead to “the Stone Age was a mistake”, and right back to Douglas Adams’ “Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place”

I get that AI can be scary, and hey, it might kill us all and that would be bad, but this particular framing is just embarrassing.
The Q8 model will likely slow this down to 50%, probably not a very useful speed. The 6k setup will probably do 10-12t/s at Q4.
Hello, Hackernews community!

I’m excited to announce that I have open-sourced my AI agent project, which leverages the power of Next.js and the AI SDK!

This AI agent is designed to access the full documentation of Tailwind CSS v3 using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). It allows users to ask questions and receive accurate responses based on the official documentation, making it a valuable tool for developers looking to enhance their Tailwind CSS skills.

RAG Implementation: Combines retrieval and generation techniques to provide precise answers.

Embeddings: Each URL from the Tailwind CSS documentation is stored as a resource in the database, with corresponding embeddings for efficient retrieval.

Why Open Source?
I believe in the power of community and collaboration. By open-sourcing this project, I hope to encourage others to contribute, provide feedback, and help improve the AI agent. Whether you’re a developer, designer, or just curious about AI, I welcome your input!
A comment on another thread mentioned California's predisposition to New Age cults.

California makes it easy to avoid touching grass. It lacks the population density of the Northeast Corridor which forces social collisions. It lacks the conservative pressure of middle American Suburbia which forces conformity. Lastly, it allows you to circumvent globally consistent corporate culture through well-paying backend (not people facing) jobs.

Intelligent misfits must touch grass. Like glacier carved mountains, normal social collisions force misfits to step outside their own head. It scrubs the trivially repulsive parts off them.

Ofc, young misfits being willing to entertain novel/strange ideas results in bullying from normal people. It's tempting to disregard all normal people as close minded bigots. However, it's important for misfits to continue pushing at understanding. Normal people are harmless. But,these misfits are both intelligent and high agency. So they have a capacity for both great good & evil. Put simply, these misfits need common sense.

Because when spiraling misfits find spiraling misfits, they can accelerate into dark places real fast. Add a few drops of common sense, and it stops the stupidest ideas right at their inception.

Modernizing a system while it is in use is high risk. Absurdly high risk. Might still be needed, but is not a cheap or quick thing.
While this is a well written paper, I'm not sure it's really contextualizing realistic risks that may arise from AI.

It feels like a lot of "Existential AI Risk" types are divorced from the physical aspects of maintaining software - eg. your model needs hardware to compute, you need cell towers and fiber optic cables to transmit.

It feels like they always anthropomorphize AI as some sort of "God".

The "AI Powered States" aspect is definetly pure sci-fi. Technocratic states have been attempted, and econometrics literally the exact same mathematical models used in AI/ML (Shapely values are an Econometrics tool, Optimization Theory itself got it's start thanks to GosPlan and other attempts and modeling and forecasting economic activity, etc).

As we've seen with the Zizian cult, very smart people can fall into a fallacy trap of treating AI as some omnipotent being that needs to either be destroyed or catered to.

It's been years, but I recall that, for example, when you know every piece of plaintext starts with "https://www", or perhaps know the full contents of particular messages, it may become some degree easier to brute force your way to a key. I don't think it's a concern for standards in broad use, more like something you would worry about if you were cooking up your own cipher.
Yeah, the only thing that matters in messaging.

Those personnel numbers don't really make sense to me. Like, sure I believe O'Hare has 57 trained ATC staff, but Kalamazoo has 47 while La Guardia has 29, all at comparable percentages of trained staffing. Something is off...

It's good to see that both Chicago airports are at full staffing though (when counting staff in training ).

This sounds like projection. Most people don’t think like that; the people who are (rightly or wrongly) advancing AI mostly don’t think of you at all, and almost universally believe they are helping humanity.

They could be wrong (I’m ambivalent), but assuming bad intent is almost always wrong.
Man I love Severance, the black Kier thing in the most recent episode was hilarious but also gave a good insight into Seth ad a character. It showed me that he hadn’t fully given his life to Lumon, in the way that he was still able to dislike decisions they made. As opposed to Natalie.
Those same people are utterly incapable of reading logs. I’ve had devs send me error messages that say precisely what the problem is, and yet they’re asking me what to do.

The form of this that bothers me the most is in infra (the space I work in). K8s is challenging when things go sideways, because it’s a lot of abstractions. It’s far more difficult when you don’t understand how the components underpinning it work, or even basic Linux administration. So there are now a ton of bullshit AI products that are just shipping return codes and error logs out to OpenAI, and sending it back rephrased, with emoji. I know this is gatekeeping, and I do not care: if you can’t run a K8s cluster without an AI tool, you are not qualified to run a K8s cluster. I’m not saying don’t try it; quite the opposite: try it on your own, without AI help, and learn by reading docs and making mistakes (ideally not in prod).
Why would I be an ATC, the fourth most stressful job in the nation, when I could have better working conditions and/or pay in a number of other professions?
I'm not sure this is something that is solved by tech. It sounds like they simply don't have enough staff, whether that a budget problem or hiring problem IDK. The article mentions they have a 50% reduction in new hires which either says it's hard to be competent, the job is too demanding, or both.

They had 1 tower with 1 operator and no redundancy at a fairly busy airport, which is definitely concerning.
I am not diving into it because this thread is not about immigration laws. Again you’re moving the goal posts. My silence is not unreasonable but a refusal to digress from the conversation. You have a larger point that I’m just ignorant but we need to debate immigration to prove that? If I am so obviously ignorant please reply with these possible qualities or realizations I may need to have.

Is it that I’m not afraid or panicked when numbers shift higher or lower in regards immigration, crime, etc? Often I find citing a number is used to instill shock and fear in the topic, even if the under lying systems are still effective regardless of the number.
Yeah it would only be worrisome if there were significant incentives to enlist more hardware, cell towers, and fiber optic cables to create and operate increasingly powerful AI and to improve its ability to act directly on the physical world
It only seems that way to people who know nothing about aviation.
Nah uhhhhhh! US fires nukes in desperate attempt at superiority

Which feature is this? I must not fully understand what Apple Intelligence does. I thought it was just for summarizing notifications, editing text and generating images.

I didn't realize that it analyzes everything you do on your device and builds a profile. Where can I read more about that?
This is like requiring that for every line of code added to a repo, 10 lines need to be removed. This may be okay in the near term but also runs the risk of turning your repo into unmaintainable code golf.

I wonder if one day we will have an AI that reads, summarizes and catalogues all the published books?

This has been the case of years. My first FOSDEM was about a decade ago and it felt like that then. You go to a room a talk or two before the talk you actually want to see because of the queues, which means you’re in a talk you didn’t necessarily want to go to, at the expense of someone who might have wanted to. So they’ll queue a talk or two ahead next time, ad infinitum

> They won't cut traffic for the same reason they are understaffed: money. Raise pay until you have enough staff.

It's really not that simple.

It's a 3-year training process.

There's really nothing that's going to get you adequately staffed in the short term.

Sure, that could solve the problem medium term.
It's not even about that. That isn't even how a model is created.

And that's what I'm getting it. It's basically bad science fiction being used to create some form of a pseudo-religious experience.

At least your local Mandirs, mosques, churches, synagogues, gurdawara, and other formal religions do food drives and connect a subset of your local community.

Often times the biggest issue you'd get with onboard chip is extra noise that could be hard to track(pun intended) if you're recording music.

As far as general audio quality for non-recording scenarios (listening to music, watching movies etc) does not differ too much in my experience. You could be experiencing external issues like speaker placement, room issues, bad cable somewhere
Yeah, for sure!

So I should say I'm playing a bit fast and loose with "internal DSL" here, so that might have been a little misleading.

I'm not doing anything fancy like you could do in Scala or Ruby where there are a lot of powerful things you can do to change language syntax.

The main pieces of C# I composed to get what I'm talking are:
LINQ/MoreLinq: For my scripting I was almost always automating some kind of a process against collections of things, like performing git actions against a mess of repos, performing an XML transform against a bunch of app.configs, etc.

Extension Methods: Because you can add extensions methods that only appear if the collection you're operating on is a specific _type_ of collection. So I could have an extension method with a signature like this: `public static void Kill(this IEnumerable<Process> processes)` and then I could do this: `Process.GetProcessesByName("node").Kill();` (I didn't test that code, but in principle I know it works). Kind of contrived, because there are a million ways to do that, but it let me create very terse and specific method chains that imo were pretty obvious.

The last thing, that's a lot more finicky and I didn't use as often, but very powerful are ExpressionTrees: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/advanced-top...

This is what EF and a lot of other libraries use to generate queries, though you can generate whatever in principle. It's basically a first class mechanism for passing a lambda into a method and instead getting an AST representation of the lambda that you can then do whatever with. E.g., traverse the AST and generate a SQL query or whatever. (apologies if I'm explaining things you already know)

Lmk if I'm missing what you're asking. Like I said, I'm definitely being a little lazy with the DSL moniker, especially compared to something like something you'd make in JetBrains MPS or a DSL workbench, or language where you can more powerfully modify syntax, but above is generally what I meant.
So for you is the thing that because it's under the brand of Apple Intelligence and the apps are all made by Apple that you expect this kind of global toggle? Because I wouldn't expect to be able to turn off "AI" features in all my non-Apple apps simultaneously.

To me they're just new features in iOS and new features in Apple's various apps. Never really before has there really been "turn off all changes in the last update."
I read, in past days, that the man who ordered the construction of the nearly infinite Wall of China was that First Emperor, Shih Huang Ti, who likewise ordered the burning of all the books before him. That the two gigantic operations - the five or six hundred leagues of stone to oppose the barbarians, the rigorous abolition of history, that is of the past - issued from one person and were in a certain sense his attributes, inexplicably satisfied me and, at the same time, disturbed me.

It makes sense for LLMs to work with testable code for symbolic mathematics; CAS Computer Algebra System code instead of LaTeX which only roughly corresponds.

Are LLMs training on the AST parses of the symbolic expressions, or token coocurrence? What about training on the relations between code and tests?

I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses.
Me:
I have a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage and a boat. I want to get them all across the river. If I leave the goat and the wolf together, the goat will eat the wolf. If I leave the wolf and the cabbage together, the wolf will eat the cabbage. I can only take one at a time. How do I do it?

o1-pro:
This puzzle is simply a twist on the classic “Wolf, Goat, and Cabbage” riddle, except here the dangerous pairs are:

Goat & Wolf cannot be left alone (the Goat will eat the Wolf).
Wolf & Cabbage cannot be left alone (the Wolf will eat the Cabbage).
The only “safe” pair to leave alone is Goat & Cabbage. You can ferry them across one at a time without ever leaving the dangerous pairs together by following these steps:

Take the Wolf across
Near bank: Goat, Cabbage
Far bank: Wolf
Return empty
Near bank: Goat, Cabbage, Boatman
Far bank: Wolf
Take the Goat across
Near bank: Cabbage
Far bank: Wolf, Goat, Boatman
Since Goat & Wolf can’t be left alone, you must immediately bring one back in the next step.
Bring the Wolf back
Near bank: Wolf, Cabbage, Boatman
Far bank: Goat
Take the Cabbage across
Near bank: Wolf
Far bank: Goat, Cabbage, Boatman
Goat & Cabbage are safe together.
Return empty
Near bank: Wolf, Boatman
Far bank: Goat, Cabbage
Finally, take the Wolf across
Near bank: (empty)
Far bank: Wolf, Goat, Cabbage, Boatman

Me:
I have a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage and a boat. I want to get them all across the river. If I leave the goat and the cabbage together, the cabbage will eat the goat. If I leave the wolf and the cabbage together, the wolf will eat the cabbage. I can only take one at a time. How do I do it?

o1-pro:
This version of the riddle is basically the “wolf, goat, and cabbage” puzzle with the roles reversed for who can safely be left behind. The key is that the only pair you can leave alone is the goat and the wolf. You cannot leave the goat and cabbage together (the cabbage eats the goat!), nor the wolf and cabbage together (the wolf eats the cabbage!).

A workable step‐by‐step solution is:

Take the cabbage across first.
Left bank: Wolf, Goat
Right bank: Cabbage
Return alone to the left bank.
Left bank: Wolf, Goat, (You)
Right bank: Cabbage
Take the goat across.
Left bank: Wolf
Right bank: Goat, Cabbage, (You)
(You cannot leave goat and cabbage together, so…)
Bring the cabbage back with you to the left bank.
Left bank: Wolf, Cabbage, (You)
Right bank: Goat
Take the wolf across.
Left bank: Cabbage
Right bank: Goat, Wolf, (You)
Return alone to the left bank.
Left bank: Cabbage, (You)
Right bank: Goat, Wolf
Finally, take the cabbage across once more.
Left bank: (empty)
Right bank: Wolf, Goat, Cabbage, (You)
All three—the wolf, the goat, and the cabbage—are now safely across without ever leaving a “forbidden” pair alone.

1. It's ok if deployment is quick and no customers are affected, but if you're running something like a whitelabel fast food app platform with a deployment cycle that takes a minute, that's enough time to get irate customers

Then it's topical for understanding the makeup of ATC controllers right now, isn't it? The impact of hiring decisions in 2018 would continue through their retirement age in the 2050's.
