Re creativity, Tailwind is an interesting social experiment of sorts. To be clear, I love it! But it does provide a window into how humans interact with creativity. I recall first coming upon Tailwind after Bootstrap had thoroughly saturated the market and we could all name at least 10 bootstrap-looking sites. Then, suddenly...Utilities! Wow! Unique looking nav bars! Now I can make my own button! But then...fast forward five years and there is definitely a "tailwind" style that has coalesced via the "hot" players/designers (tailwind itself, Vercel, etc).

Even with a tool that should foster creativity we often gather around something familiar/known. That makes perfect sense psychologically and I'm not here to say that that's dumb. For example, I love creativity but detest modern architecture as it strays too far from the "known" and becomes meaningless. I need to know where to look to find a bathroom for goodness sake.

I guess my point is that a tool that allows for or even fosters creativity does not by any means actually result in said creativity.
And the article suggests that's it's not even the population of everyone with a bespoke suit so much as the minority of whales who own a lot of them. There is going to be a fair number of very demanding and impatient rich guys in that group.

> You can assume they'd rather be constructing new clothes, rather than doing alterations

Thankfully, the free hand of the market provides a solution uniquely tailored to this kind of problem - just raise the price for the adjustments to a point where it's easier and cheaper if you just buy a new suit. In fact, if we are talking about huge weight loss I'm not even sure how the "adjustment" would be any less time-consuming than starting from scratch.
Hmm. Dunno, I can't really answer that without sounding like I am tooting my own horn.
Would it help further if I said that my day job is about disinfo/ fraudulent content, and that I make these statements based on work experience?

US exceptionalism remains our dominant global investment theme moving into 2025 [pdf]
This is such a dodge, whataboutism at its finest. “You have a moral critique of a thing? Well that’s weird because you clearly don’t have a detailed moral analysis of literally everything else you do in life, therefore this critique is just because of negative branding”.

“Moral” in quotes is a tell, too. You’re arguing that morality is illegitimate unless someone has done a full “utilitarian” breakdown of everything they do in their lives. And of course you will only accept that breakdown if you deem it sufficient.

i just started to play with ollama and ramalama.. on linux. The models are quite some gigabytes.. not pretty to keep N copies..

ollama stores things under ~/.ollama/models/blobs/
named sha256-whatevershaisit

ramalama stores things under ~/.local/share/ramalama/repos/ollama/blobs/
named sha256:whatevershaisit

Note the ":" in ramalama names instead of the "-" .. that may not fly under windows.

if one crosslinks ramalama things over to ollama with that slight rename, ollama will remove them as they are not pulled via itself - no metadata on them.

i guess vllm etc everybody-else has yet-another schema and/or metadata.

btw Currently, arch-linux-wise, there is llm-manager (pointing to https://github.com/xyproto/llm-manager ), but it's made dependent on some of ollama packages, and can't be installed just by itself (without overforcing).
kudos for keeping the site small at about 55kb . Though not quite as slender as hackernews 14kb, i was expecting to see 2mb of react cruft so high fives to the devs for keeping it lite.

So you’re saying the folks responsible for ruining Snowden and others… saw consequences? COINTELPRO and MKULTRA resulted in… people getting prosecuted?

Obviating or not, when the abuses see no real consequences, at what point do you say the abuses are just… part of the story too?

Frankly, saying otherwise is the Sophomoric take, isn’t it?
Oh man, I did this with my dad's voice after he died and set up a thing where I could talk with an LLM-backed assistant and have it respond in his voice and mannerisms. It was a very weird coping and grief period and I ultimately hit a point where I got really weirded out about what I was doing.

Law enforcement in America has an uncanny ability to either blatantly ignore or conveniently misunderstand laws. I’m happy to know they are tracking this and acting on it. I know in health care you get fired on the spot for looking at stuff you shouldn’t, same should apply here at a minimum.
The best practical understanding of Petricek's work I gained from using Clojurescript's Re-frame library. In re-frame, coeffects represent the data that an event handler needs from the outside world to do its job (like current time, random numbers, or local storage values). This aligns with the academic concept of tracking contextual dependencies, just applied practically in a front-end framework context.

The main difference is that re-frame uses a more pragmatic, simplified version focused specifically on event handling in web applications, rather than the full mathematical formalism of the academic work.

Learning re-frame was a light-bulb moment for me. I highly recommend giving it a try, even if there's never a plan to use Clojure or Clojurescript in practice.

I made an argument for performance, not for compatibility.

If you run your local llm in the least performant way possible on tour overly expensive GPU, then you are not making value of your purchase.

Vulkan is a fallback option is all.

I even see people running on their CPU because some apps dont support their hardware and llama.cpp made it even possible. It is still a really bad idea.

Its just goes to show there’s still much to do.
Thankyou so much for the laymens terms explanation.

This all sounds so complex to my non legal brain, but is 'a request for a pause of the remedies phase while Apple appeals the partial denial of its motion to intervene' classed as a really simple standard legal procedure in the courts?

Sure, you listen in the same way that you listen to the demands of an armed gunman in a store.

Yes. Or maybe, hormonal imbalance are so frequent more and more people become addicted to food?

My food addiction is caused by a grahlin hypersensitivity. It's hurtful to go on a fast, but I still do it every other year to rebalance myself. If I could have, I would probably also tried ozempic when I was obese. I'm now close the 'healthy' 25BMI so I probably won't though.

For people with addiction caused by insulin, I'd rather have them take ozempic than try the only method that worked for me.

I wish this was around when I was teaching computer architecture. I use to challenge students to think outside the box when it came to switchs. One example is to build a computer out of paperclips.[1] The book can be found on eBay, Amazon and other used/old book outlets.

DEI is just as much an ideology as the current GOP rabid anti-DEI.
This is wrong, and based on a (largely deliberate) misunderstanding of what DEI is. DEI is not a push to have quotas. Rather it is based on the assumption that if you see one group being overrepresented then there is probably a bias in favor of that group.

If you look at CEOs you will see that white men are very overrepresented. I (as a white man) don't for a moment believe that that is because white men are better at being CEOs (achieve better outcomes). Rather I believe it is because the selection process has long been biased in favor of white men (both in the last steps, and the path to get there). And this is not just my biases at play, many studies have been done, and none show that white men generically achieve better outcomes.

So DEI is the idea that we need to make the selection process better account for people's biases (largely unconscious) that have been driving this outcome (white men preferentially being selected). It is not about quotas or giving people points for being a woman/black person/disabled/etc. It is all about making sure that those characteristics do not subtract points.

And I have used white men as an example here, as that has been where the largest biases have been (both white, and men), and also because I am currently a beneficiary of those biases, making it hard to argue that I am only arguing this to get an advantage for myself. But you could just as easily point to the current over-representation of women in colleges and universities and worry about an anti-man bias there.
Google still win if/when they lose this case.

They won’t be able to pay 3rd parties, but those 3rd parties will still end up referring their users to google and google pockets the fees they previously paid.

The whole “choice” process is a farce in the EU. People still choose google because they don’t know any different.
Surprised Apple and Google haven't just come to an agreement for Apple to "create their own" search engine which uses Google as the backend to work around it.
That said, I (and I suspect at least a few others here) have encountered questions like GP’s too, and would value HN-style patient, civil answers from the sorts of highly-informed biochemists and medical professionals who sometimes lurk around these parts :)

I’m curious what would disqualify this as an appropriate forum for “those kinds of questions,” and I’m not finding much in the guidelines ( https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) to explain it to me. Rather, it seems consistent with curiosity. In the interest of avoiding shallow dismissals, maybe you can help me understand why you’d exclude the GP’s question?

I can imagine myself asking something at a similar level about other topics that I’m fresh to, and I’d want to avoid asking unwelcome questions.
ServPro is actually one of the less bad ones. BELFOR are even pushier, and take advantage of the fact that building owners and building renters tend to have different priorities in fire cases to gain unlawful access to damaged units. I had Belfor people in my smoke-damaged home without my knowledge constantly, and they made off with a bit of valuable stuff during that unsupervised time. I was renting back then, and of course my say meant nothing to these people.

Very scummy industry overall, everyone we interacted with in the wake of that fire left a bad taste in our mouths. ServPro was the original company on the job before Belfor somehow took the contract from em, and they were at least professional and understanding of the awful circumstance people were in.
Who is Jimmy Savile? I know I could google it easily and it's probably some guy who did something terrible, but it's certainly not a fact I could pull from memory. Savile row as a tailors' institution on the other hand is commonly known even over here on the mainland.
How this case works out for Apple and Google depends entirely on the remedy.

IF the court ends up banning ANY search engine paying for being the default search engine then that (IMHO) it's a massive win for Google. Why? Because nobody else can pay for being the default. And Google will save billions of dollars. Apple loses billions of dollars, which is why they're trying to intervene.

IF the court simply restricts Google from paying for being the default search engine then that's less good for Google and slightly better but still bad for Apple because nobody can write checks like Google can.

We have some direct data of how others paying for being the default search engine hasn't worked out so great. I'm specifically referring to the Firefox-Bing deal that didn't last all that long.

Could this prompt Apple to make their own search? I'm inclined to say "no". Apple already took this step with Apple Maps. It's been 12 years and, depending on country, there are still some massive gaps to Google Maps. I think it's (finally) pretty decent in the US. In others it's almost unusable however.

I also think that Apple will probably bet on AI Assistants as the future.

I also think that Google maintains its marketshare because, despite pearl-clutching about how Google has fallen off by tech people who never seem to substantiate that with actual examples, Google is still the best option for most people. And it's not even close.
I'm considering the part that says "GDB and LLDB pain me greatly". This project both says "I'm doing this for fun" and "the state of the art is bad, and I'm trying to fix it", so this is a fair question.

GDB is great. He says it crashes a lot, and cannot interpret some of his types. Maybe that's his experience, but I haven't had those issues after literally decades of using gdb. Some bug reports would be nice.
Maybe; They should have still been able to file amicus curiae but likely they would have to appeal the remedy instead of attempting to become a co-defendant.

The case was Google illegally using it monopoly power. The Remedy was to prevent some of the anti-compitive actions. If the agreement was to split up Google, or for it to sell off chrome it wouldn't make sense for Apple to be a co-defendent.

Meta but why are there seemingly random full-size images inserted every few paragraphs in the article?
Electron/web still has the glaring issue of its primitives being, well, too primitive. They’re great for documents and lighter “web 2.0” apps but have a long way to go for the purposes of replacing full fat desktop UI frameworks.

This is actually a big factor in why web apps have the perception of being bloated. Basic widgets being missing means that everybody and their dog has their own custom implementations, nearly all of which are somewhat slapdash in nature due to speed of implementation being prioritized over quality. They never meaningfully improve either since there’s little sharing of efforts, with everybody instead preferring to reinvent wheels for themselves.

If the platform provided a more robust set of widgets, much of these problems would go away since devs would be using those instead either as-is or with light cosmetic customizations. Over time the browser implementations would get better and all users would benefit with more performant, less buggy apps.
Ironically, something Casio have been struggled with on their fancies G-SHOCK GBX-100 few years ago. Tides were based on database and not cycles and they were always wrong (contrary to the older, more basic, not connected, tides model).

FYI: For Flux, there is a lot more power in the text-encoder & you can prompt with more meaningful and comprehensive sentences. Thus, less of the traditional comma separated & concise phrasing we saw in stable diffusion.

You should do the same with your training images. Caption everything you do not want the model to remember as "you" (what you're doing, wearing, accompanied by, accessories, etc).

This is disingenuous: there is no "DEI" component of NSF proposals. There is a Broader Impacts section which is mandated by law - the America Competes Act of 2010, which congress passed. https://www.congress.gov/111/plaws/publ358/PLAW-111publ358.p... It states that:

GOALS.—The Foundation shall apply a Broader Impacts
Review Criterion to achieve the following goals:
(1) Increased economic competitiveness of the United
States.
(2) Development of a globally competitive STEM workforce.
(3) Increased participation of women and underrepresented
minorities in STEM.
(4) Increased partnerships between academia and industry.
(5) Improved pre-K–12 STEM education and teacher
development.
(6) Improved undergraduate STEM education.
(7) Increased public scientific literacy.
(8) Increased national security.

That's it. I've won many NSF proposals and have never talked about DEI. Instead we talk about outreach work we do with local schools, our involving undergraduate students in research who would not otherwise be able to volunteer their time, and of course the economic impacts of working on these topics.

An executive order cannot override the law authorizing the National Science Foundation and its activities. We are, for now, a country of laws.

I hadn't thought about how you can't just clip away some fabric; that the entire fit of the suit may be useless.

If someone has 100 suits at 7000 GBP a piece, you'd think they could sell those on some kind of secondary market and buy new suits that are flush fit.

Or light the old suits on fire. 700,000 GBP worth of suits? Goodness.

Off-topic: I wish there were places in the US to get tailored wardrobes curated, that wasn't an online subscription like Stitched. I'd like two or three suits, some sports coats, dress shirts and some versatile casual outfits.

As it stands, I have four identical pairs of jeans and a drawer full of black t-shirts that fit perfectly.
I maintain a blog that I write myself, and a blogging bot on a separate site/domain, which I run as an exercise/sandbox.

They both get traffic. Neither site is optimised for SEO. Looking at analytics (Matomo on my blog, Google Analytics for the bot), the stuff I write myself gets "real" visitors. People will stumble on a project, and you can see them navigate to the next article, and the next article.

The content from the bot isn't engaging - people might stumble on it, then bounce.

Absent search, interesting content gets shared. Blog spam does not.

I don't worry too much about my content being used to train LLMs - I don't feel it takes away from me, it a bit feels like content getting indexed by a search engine. And I see value, for me, in just creating it.
So they want more vertical integration?
All of this is true, yet somehow misses the entire point of the post.
Thank you for sharing. I particularly enjoyed the call out where you highlight what you learned from the incident. Took the post from fear-brain to information-brain for me (don't mind my curiosity haha).

I had a much less intrusive incident but equally "alarming" ;). The apartment I live in has hard wired smoke/carbon monoxide alarms (with backup battery). One night, ~2am 1 of them starts beeping that the battery is dead. I confirm the breaker didn't flip or anything...finally decided to complete disassemble it and get some sleep. 4 of these in the apartment. Head hits the pillow and a second one goes off! Take all 4 down and live dangerously for an evening.

In the morning I do my research - turns out these things just start doing that after 10 years. "Get a new one!" it peeps incessantly.

Shame me please - as I bought replacements. I'll save this post for myself in 10 years so at least I can be the one to say "I told you so".
