Air traffic control has a lot more things to deal with. There are scenarios like runway closed and all traffic has to be diverted. Loss of communication. Various emergencies. Weather changes. It's not just a question of 3D motion planning. Controllers in the tower also use their eyes.

In your imaginary system how is the software "tower" communicating with airplanes, using voice? I don't think we even have software that can reliably decode the variety of human voices over radio that a controller can respond to.

One can imagine a digital protocol to all airplanes but technology works its way really slowly into aviation.
The Cybertruck is well-known for breaking down for the silliest reasons and losing parts during regular driving.

I have no idea what the build quality of BYD is, but doing better than Tesla isn't exactly a challenge.
> It would actually have made more sense to convert all these positions that wouldn't fall under Policy/Career (that you for some reason believe could) and then to dismiss the individuals without offering this deferred resignation.

They cannot, as I understood it, get the loyalty boost they want from converting a position to an F (Policy/Career) position because of the laws Biden introduced to protect roles from that kind of interference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy/Career_appointment#Repe...

In April 2024, the Biden administration put into effect a regulation named "Upholding Civil Service Protections and Merit System Principles" (89 FR 24982) that allows employees to keep existing job protections even if their positions were reclassified, preventing most of the effects of a reinstatement of Schedule F.

So, again, getting these employees to leave of their own accord allows them to convert as many to Schedule Policy/Career as possible without the employee in the seat. Because Biden and Congress introduced protections that would have stopped them being dismissed.

And did you not read what Miller is quoted as saying? I don't know why you are arguing against the idea that the intent here is about loyalty to Trumpism, when they are saying that with their creepy little outside voices.
> This assumes that you give honest feedback.

You don't need honest user feedback because you could judge any message part of a conversation using hindsight.

Just ask a LLM to judge if a response is useful, while seeing what messages come after it. The judge model has privileged information. Maybe 5 messages later it turns out what the LLM replied was not a good idea.

You can also use related conversations by the same user. The idea is to extend context so you ca judge better. Sometimes the user tests the llm ideas in the real world and comes back with feedback, that is real world testing, something R1 can't do.

Tesla uses the same method to flag the seconds before a surprising event, it works because it has hindsight. It uses the environment to learn what was important.
You casually gloss over the hardest part of oauth (the sequence of requests made and the reason why they exist), which is the part no one remembers.
Sharing this as a non-technical user:

Yesterday I saw a video of someone using 'lovable' platform to prompt it into providing an app. For a no-coder like me, this was crazy stuff. The latest 'Deepseek' progress hints that things will get more cheaper. We live in the best time to build as the costs further decrease.

For an end user like me who doesn't understand the model evaluation methods you said - I do observe that my life is improving because it is getting easier to automate manual work. With AI agents, I think it will only get even easier. This 'easy' feeling is getting better with every update.

For example, earlier I used to write AI tool descriptions for my AI tools directory (https://appliedai.tools) using Perplexity. I had to edit a lot of stuff as it messed up with facts.

Now I hardly make any changes. It can scout user reviews, YouTube reviews, etc on its own and write very accurate descriptions.

I only shorten sentences - that too using WordPress AI.

As an end user, if my output is good enough, I do not care much about how good the upcoming models are. I care about costs though. Maybe now, people should focus more on 'cost' reduction and environment impact when it comes to looking for 'improvement'.

Another alternative is to use ESP32's deep sleep mode. You can tell ESP to sleep until some event occurs. There are many options for waking up the microcontroller.

It uses little power, so standard 18650 battery could last years with single charge.

Also feels appropriate, because most of the time when I have to type in that command I'm thinking FU service file for not showing me by default why a service failed to start/restart.
When a vision for a better future is foreclosed, so the option of rising to meet a challenge is off the table, the only thing you can do is stop yourself from looking like a loser is to eliminate the challenge altogether.

This is the point. Even when it existed, almost no-one knew what RSS was.
> If you don’t promote your work, no one else will.

This has not been my experience. If you do interesting things then there are plenty of people who are willing to bring attention to it. I've been cold-emailed by journalists wanting to interview me without ever doing anything other than a) make my work publicly accessible and b) collaborate with like-minded people.

Perhaps I'm lucky (probably). Perhaps my work would've gotten more attention if I spent more effort promoting it (probably). The things I do because I find them interesting are not things I feel the need to promote, because I'm not doing them for attention.

If your goal is to grab a lot of attention, you will inexorably have to do things that are not interesting because the only way to achieve broad appeal is to not offend anyone's tastes and the only way to do that is to be bland.

Companies shouldn't be forced to support their games for long. Only for the duration of the copyright. (/s, but consider the now aligned incentives for sensible copyright duration limits !)
Nah nothing like that. I still listen to it pretty often in fact. I feel like Deltron says what it wants to say, and I enjoy what it wants to say, but it never tells me anything new. I still find new interpretations in all of the Gorillaz albums in a way that keeps them fresher even though I have listened them all to death, especially eponymous and Plastic Beach.

Gorillaz songs do a great job of saying a bunch of different things all layered together, like literally about the fictional band and simultaneously allegorically about capital-H Humanity and our collective perpetuity, the mortal coil, the [G]reat Work, whatever you want to call it. They're all super coded once you're willing to stop caring about the opinions of people who think it's weird/cringe to think about that kind of stuff.

“Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head” is a great example of one I only recently feel like I “get” even though I've been listening to it for twenty years. Like, why Monkey? Just because Gorillaz, or have I looked in a mirror recently? Why a mountain? What shape are those, and where else have I encountered that shape? Without the truth of the eyes, I was blind. Probably still am to a lot of it :)

Or “Saturnz Barz” where the title is about bars in a musical sense but also bars as in jail (hint: you're in it — we all are. They have Broken Our Love.)
Yeah games being made on custom engines is still done, but probably hasn't been what the majority of companies at the AAA level have done since... the mid to late 1990s probably.

I'm not related to the author or developers, but this appears almost like an Airtable-like (or Nocodb) UI on top of postgres, so it's really quite a different experience than a full database manager tool/IDE like DBeaver or DataGrip.

I love it personally and it looks pretty good so far. Also, amazing that the team started it as an open source project under a 501c3 nonprofit as well.

Having a more "spreadsheet" (or I would say, MS Access-like) UI is quite cool for certain use cases (e.g. low/no-code but backed by the full power of regular old Postgres). Can allow pretty agile development, although - it can get out of control if not managed with care... but nice to see the access controls/permissions there to help a bit.

All interesting choices, looks cool!
That article is propaganda from the same people who brought you the Iraq War. That’s exactly the sort of funding spigot we should be stopping so we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Everyone obviously wants to use critical services as a shield to avoid scrutiny on them. But by all indications the administration was ready to go on day 1, and insofar as stuff is being cut or halted a decision was made to allow that to happen.
Not a US airliner, but in the US: Asiana Airlines Flight 214
My favorite two reasons for blogging:

1) Because sometimes you are right about something and it's nice to show that you were thinking about it ahead of time. An example would be my prediction in 2023 (which is fairly late in all fairness,) that one of the most important improvements in AI in the near future would be the ability to interact with any GUI as if it was an API.

2) Because often you are wrong about something and having it written down and in public will keep you honest about hindsight bias. An example would be predictions I made about lasting impacts of the pandemic on how we approach healthcare and minimizing respiratory infections in general.
It's also probably dependent on who made them, and the engineering of the materials they used. After all even if every cap meets the spec but there are several paths to get to the spec.
The US won't ban DeepSeek from US, but more likely we will ban DeepSeek (and other Chinese companies) from accessing US frontier models.

I am hearing Chinese tech is now the best and they achieved it with banning things left and right.
Homogeneous systems kill innovation, with that in mind, I guess it’s a good thing DeepSeek disregards licenses? Seems like sledding down an icy slope, slippery. and they suck.

Same, after a certain point (for TypeScript particularly) I found it was too big a hassle not to switch to VS Code. All these years later, I still have VS Code configured to look and behave like Sublime. I found it funny one time when someone noticed me working on my laptop in public and said it was nice to see another Sublime user, which I had to correct him on.
I mean, Deepseek is currently charging 100x less. That doesn't tell us much about how cheaper it is to run inference on.

Can you provide a link to the comment?

R1's technical report (https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1/blob/main/DeepSee...) says the prompt used for training is "<think> reasoning process here </think> <answer> answer here </answer>. User: prompt. Assistant:" This prompt format strongly suggests that the text between <think> is made the "reasoning" and the text between <answer> is made the "answer" in the web app and API (https://api-docs.deepseek.com/guides/reasoning_model). I see no reason why deepseek should not do it this way, if not considering post-generation filtering.

Plus, if you read table 3 of the R1 technical report, which contains an example of R1's chain of thought, its style (going back to re-evaluating the problem) resembles what I actually got in the COT in the web app.
There is a docker image at least. Would be cool as a standalone tool though, I kind of agree.
She was not rejected.
It's only deterministic in the sense of the mathematical constructs that models the system, like differential equations that drive the simulations at each finite time step. But the information or the state which the simulation is applied on is always chaotic. That is because delta at each time step is an approximation with some error. It's impossible to make the state in the system behave deterministically, because that requires time deltas to approach to zero (or infinite amount of infinitely small differential steps).
I'm seriously confused as to why someone would dropout to build the 1000th email client "but with AI". As if the existing email clients aren't already adding AI to their apps.

YC needs to stop misleading young adults by giving them money to work on worthless startup ideas, just so that they can get their carry.

To any future YC applicants, FAANG is a great place to work on meaningful problems. Yes, on some teams you will change button colors and yes, on some teams, you will have to maintain legacy infra from the 2000s but also on some teams, you will train cutting edge AI models and on some teams you will architect and build systems that serve millions of users worldwide. Find those teams, work on them and learn to solve challenging Important problems. Once you're ready, leave and solve a problem you truly care about. Even this is not a requirement - you can solve really impactful problems by just working at FAANG.

The smartest peeps are still at FAANG, working on Important problems, not building GPT wrapper apps. I urge you to work on these Important problems and not chase a fundraise or a startup exit.

While you're at it, don't forget big tech pays really well. Play your cards right and you could make up to $10m by the time you're 35. Your startup will most likely fail. In the odd case that it succeeds, make sure the payout is >> $10m; otherwise you just wasted your time.
Except that she was not rejected - she rejected them. She simply couldn't get a match with a job that worked for her.
Since these ceramic decoupling capacitors can be made so small nowadays and since very low-inductance capacitors are suited to handle today's high frequency switching noise, maybe it is worth the cost for IC packages should incorporate a small sized (low inductance) capacitor directly in the package, as that would be much closer to the silicon's power & ground than could be placed on a pcb. Then the pcb would only need to have the larger (>=1uF) capacitor.

Just after I typed the above, I see Intel has such a patent filed in 2001 (https://patents.google.com/patent/US20050156280A1/en). So maybe that patent has prevented other companies from adopting such a practice. (Having decoupling capacitors already in the package would sure make hobbyist pcb designing much easier, cause it is so hard to deal with tiny SMD parts.)

I'd be more curious about how it differs to Metabase?
From what I've heard, it's a challenging airport to land at, particularly because one of the approaches has two sharp turns in it, and I think the main winds tend to be annoying crosswinds for the main runway. Also, the airport is surrounded by lots of restricted airspace because, you know, seat of federal government and all that.
Probably true. I just noticed a strong delta of before and after when my friends in high school would get into weed.
"It doesn't matter whether there's a compelling legal argument around copyright, or even if it's true they actually copied."

Indeed, when the alleged infringer is outside US jurisdiction and not violating any local laws in the country where it's domiciled.

The fact that Microsoft cannot even get this app removed from "app stores" tells us all we need to know.

It will be OpenAI and others who will be copying DeepSeek.

Some of us would _love_ to see Microsoft try to assert copyright over a LLM. The question might not be decided in their favour, putting a spectre over all their investment. It is not a risk worth taking.

Anyone remember this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Zamos
Ok. Personally I think weed saved my life.

All you would do by banning it is killing US progress in AI. The rest of the world is still going to be able to use DS. You're just giving the rest of the world a leg up.

> I wonder if there is a cap to multi head attention architecture

I don't think there is a cap other than having good data. The model learns all languages in the world, it has capacity. A simple model like AlphaZero beats humans at board games. As long as you have data, the model is not an obstacle. A LLM like AlphaProof is ranked silver medal at IMO.
I am not that good in physics so someone should probably correct me but if an object comes at such a speed that it escapes earth gravity, it'll probably eject us from our solar path into the unknown.

> Serious question: Why is 3D such a hard problem for modern computers? I could imagine a plane enters a cylinder of airspace near the airport and automatically communicates by radio waves information about itself. Then, HAL9000 can provide guidance as a landing plan.

Maybe I'm getting older. Maybe it is a more modern phenomena, enabled by a steady diet of 30 second videos.

Either way, I'm quite disturbed, regularly, recently, by the # of people who breezily stumble through quarter-baked thoughts while speaking dismissively, as if they've covered the surface of a complex universe that has been worked on very many smart people for decades, and now we can get to the real singular problem that'd fix everything, the one thing they've identified.

I don't even know where to begin trying to interlocute when the starting premise is "3D is hard for modern computers."

So I speak straightforwardly, in a way that I wish wouldn't be seen as rude, but it is.

So it goes.

You're right about the arrivals, but you missed the forest for the trees in the comment you're replying to.
> an open protocol for anything that’s real-time and shareable

Does that mean that at the protocol level one can share content of larger sizes than what Bluesky does by default?

Even though not standard at least via the ActivityPub protocol one can set more reasonable character lengths, though unsure how most Mastodon clients handle that in practice.

Bluesky devs seem set, from some past HN interaction, on keeping the restriction in place for the app.

In a decentralized application, such as Bluesky, as opposed to Mastodon, I can see a future where it would be a replacement for Reddit and HN, without those limits. As to what HN would be in such a future: a stream (or whatever term their use) of content curated/moderated by dang.
Buy time for AGI hailmary I suppose. Scifi hypothetical is the ~5-10 years it would take for PRC to potentially reach parity with western semi that AI would grant US strategic take off where gap can't be closed - a fight for the entire light cone. Except if PRC keeps a second mover advantage to a few years they still have massively robust supply chains to apply software AI to transform physical atoms because unlikely US AGI will suddenly build decades worth of industrial supply chains unless US AGI goes straight for grey goo. Nevermind PRC still in US telcoms and likely infiltrated every strategic AI company that matters, and if existential AGI ever on the horizon, they can smash red button to cut off 90% of advanced semi from TW. India still in the containable window, they'll get there eventually but IMO both US + PRC will take opportunity to undermine.
The Jank creator talking with folks at CERN about integrating with their C++ codebase makes sense too. Clasp was originally used to do some molecular simulation if memory recalls.

I suggest seeing a neuropsychiatric specialized in ADHD diagnosis, there are tests that can be used to diagnose ADHD no matter your IQ, by for example looking at impulse control - you can be diagnosed with an IQ at the edge of testability, that is certainly past the meaninglessly high point.

It's true that it's more difficult with a high IQ, but looking at impulse control tests, variations in subscores, IQ-like tests to detect invalid subscores, attention direction tests, as well as your personal habits and talking to people in your surroundings/who you grew up with, it's very much possible for a confident diagnosis to be made no matter the IQ.

It's complicated, and I think it's less malicious in a way that "kneecapped" implies. Sure, RSS still exists in some form, but I think the utility of it has been in decline, and a lot of 'content' simply isn't accessible by RSS feed anymore.

An argument can be made that they provided an RSS reader service no one could come close to matching and basically dominated the area. Google's deep support also helped it proliferate. It is maybe underrated that RSS was likely one defense the web had against the dominance of walled gardens and social media. It allowed a lot of sites to flourish that I think would not get any traction today.
