No, and I don't care to. The thought experiment that reins in my curiosity about LLM/ML novelty is to imagine living without computers (the infrastructure and "tech tree" of which has significantly harmed life on Earth), and in a world of abundance not dominated by Capitalism. Singing, drumming, humming, maybe some strings and resonators- I like the sound of that.
Sing to resonate with the surroundings and other voices. I increasingly find the "technification" of music off-putting, and no longer subscribe to any streaming services.
There are many, many musicians and bands I have enjoyed over the years, but increasingly I can live without.
anyone have thoughts about this vs ntopng? any other alternatives?
It’s not an individual action that indicates this is Armageddon as you put it. It’s the aggregate of these actions that suggests this is Armageddon. Trump is normalizing behavior that ought to be anathema to everyone.
I don't think it's possible to get away from that, we are both "plagiarizing" something else in a way just by writing these responses, because there are no new ideas, everything is a copy of something else, the only question is by how much, and can you tell. Obviously this goes down a philosophical rabbit hole... but I think the "reality" you describe is just as subjective as obviousness.
The science behind spaced repetition isn’t really up for debate, though. I guess if you really hate SRS, don’t do it, but all signs point to it being worth the time.
This is a terrible overview of the problem. If general 3 knows it is general 2 saying that general 1 wants to retreat, they can just ignore it. There is no problem.

The nice thing about deciding on a distance metric is that it gives you both a path (geodesics) and the speed, and if you trust your distance metric it should be perceptually constant velocity. I agree it's non-euclidean, I think the hyperbolic geometry description works pretty well (and has the advantage of well-studied geodesics).

I did finally find the duration logic when I was trying to recreate the path, I made this shader to try to compare:

You would have a better point is Trump was only messing with Canada. But they are threatening so many countries at the same time that it's enivitable to start forming free trade agreements outside of America.

That would be seriously destabilising to America for the future.

We need resistance at all levels. Fire me? We sit in and chain the doors? Call the police? Police stand down and need to support the people. Police need to recognize they will also be on the chopping block.

It's all about who can enforce what. We are literally in a power battle. And it'll take every single one of us to ACT. Otherwise, we are fucked. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Sure, if the fraction is 1/10000. Very high exhaust velocity is not optimal since it increases the power needed per unit of thrust.

I used that API. It was literally autocomplete — if you wanted it to answer a question, you had to start with, say:

Q: "<the thing you actually wanted to translate>

-

And even then it might answer with "Good Morning" in five different languages.

Why do articles testing ancient LLMs keep getting posted?
Every time Raspberry Pi comes up as a topic on HN, there are scores of comments decrying the futility and frustration of unreliable SD cards.

The thing with SD cards is that there are wide variances in quality, even among the top name-brand manufacturers. You can get the normal crappy cards that everyone buys which are likely to last not much more than 2-3 years under very occasional use all the way up to industrial cards with 10 year warranties and reliability matching the best enterprise SSDs. And everything in between.

The point is: If you buy the cheapest thing on Amazon, you're going to get exactly what you paid for. For my part, I have been using "High Endurance" cards in my Pis for several years as normal OS and data disks. They are not actually much more expensive than "normal" cards. I have not had any of them fail yet.

It would work.

I RAIDed a bunch of cheap USB 2.0 flash drives on a hub with MDRAID as a learning tool back in the day.

It was horrendously unreliable. USB wasn’t a good choice for storage back then, and I’m convinced the hub had issues. This would work much better now.

I did, however, get to watch the blinkin lights, learn how to recover from failures, and discover quite a few gotchas.

You are still not getting it. The use of the word multimodal does nothing good for your software. It is an LLM router. I get it that your software does support some multimodal LLMs, but that is incidental.

Secondly, the use of the word "merging" is also grossly misleading. You are not merging LLMs, only routing requests.

So I'll bite:

the apt thing: author should make himself familiar with https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/pkg-basics.en.... and --no-install-recommends option. The "debian way" of dealing with the dependencies is different than the "slackware way" the author seems to prefer.

You can configure your debian system to use that option by default using apt.conf. If you switch to aptitude you can even ask why given package was pulled in to be installed, or why given package is in the system (aptitude why package).

About the archlinux thing: that's not archlinux, that is cachyos, please do not confuse these two. The archlinux project even has a note explaining "why" in their code of conduct: https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/#arch-linux....

That's a pretty common riddle. Here's another "riddle" which it completely flops over -

Me: Here's a riddle for you - a surgeon, who is the boy's father says, "I cannot operate on this boy, he's my son!" Who is the surgeon to the boy?

o3-mini:

Reasoned about riddle solution for 5 seconds
Decoding family roles

I understand the riddle's perspective on family dynamics. The surgeon, a father, states he can't operate on his son due to his relational bond. Trying to reconcile familial and professional ties to make sense of the scenario.

Reassessing roles

Taking a closer look, the riddle might highlight a female surgeon as the father's identity, which seems more plausible than the father as the surgeon.

Rethinking the puzzle

It's interesting to see the riddle's reference to gender stereotypes and the confusion caused when considering the surgeon as the boy's mother or step-father.

Highlighting gender assumptions

OK, let me see. The puzzle underlines prevalent gender assumptions, showcasing a female surgeon's wife as the mother and her husband as the child's father. This helps clarify the scenario.

The surgeon is the boy’s mother.

This riddle plays on the common assumption that surgeons (and doctors in general) are male. In reality, the surgeon in the riddle is the boy’s mother, which is why she says, "I cannot operate on this boy, he's my son!"

Yeah specifically when I signed up they did the a small charge then, I assumed it only ever do a single charge to check for the legitimacy of the card. If I ever wanted to do a paid tier, I would have changed the card details. But it was a week later that they did a second check even though I hadn't done anything that would incur a charge. The card I had setup with privacy was a charge once card that immediately closes after the first transaction is completed (including charges that are canceled.) So the second charge hit the card after the card was closed. At that point they decided the card must have been stolen and decided to permanently close my account with no recourse.

My guess in the end is they just don't care, I'm not the one that would be giving them lots of money, business contracts are. But they are wrong in the sense that I will never let any company I ever work for choose them if I have any say in the matter.
That can just as well be marketing or a way to pad the price.

64 GiB microSD still costs ~$14 locally, but the same thing can be had for $4 from China without any warranty.

They stick endless limited warranty on it and increase the price so much that it's economical for them to just replace a few cards that people will actually bother to return, and still make profit. And warranty will tell you nothing about quality.

In fact on many products you can explicitly choose to pay more for longer warranty.

> Aristotle, Leibniz, Einstein or whatever brilliant person you can think of didn't become who they are using cue-cards.

You aren’t Einstein, I presume. Neither am I. So first of all, you can’t say that with any certainty.

But more importantly, the vanishingly small top end of the bell curve does not hold useful lessons for the rest of us. Things that mere mortals have to expend effort on are not even a second thought for them, so they have nothing to teach someone who is working to learn things they never even tried to learn.

This is why great coaches are usually middling athletes. This is why great teachers are rarely great in the field they teach. This is why lessons from those who are great are often frustrating and filled with statements like “just…you know…do X.”
If you still are not noticing how quickly Trump changes his mind on literally anything depending on who is prepared to pay him, then no "specific" argument I can make will convince you otherwise. So I'm not in the mood to waste either of our time "debating" this here.
No it’s not. I am free to publish whatever my crazy mind can cook up. The government’s policy on what an acceptable bar for “take it seriously” is doesn’t change that.
Go interfaces are explicit, not implicit, the difference is more where they are defined.

With subtypes the interfaces are defined with classes(an animal does this and that), with interfaces they are defined at the point of use (I accept a param that does this and that).

Interesting that gosling said at one point he felt including classes (i.e. inheritance) in Java was a mistake. I feel this is one thing Go got right compared to many other languages. Turns out inheritance just isn’t very helpful.
Ask HN: How many AI startups are just OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. API calls with a UI?
I'm curious about the current AI startup landscape and how many companies are essentially just wrapping foundation model APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with a UI layer versus doing more substantial technical work.

Some questions I'm interested in:
- How can you tell if a company is primarily using foundation model APIs?
- What percentage of AI startups fall into this category?
- Are there examples of companies doing this particularly well or poorly?
- What constitutes legitimate value-add on top of foundation models?
I don't honestly care about whether people offer them or not. It's the implications of a blanket policy banning it that worries me. Pronouns are an issue the right has stirred up against the left and is way out of proportion to its reality. This is the case for so many things the right is good at creating wedges with.
Do you also flog yourself when you make mistakes? Or is that just something you think others should do?

It's unsettlingly weird that you assume all mentions of NdT to be about the sexual misconduct allegations against him.
Ted Chiang revealed himself at his NeurIPS "Pluralism and Creativity" workshop to be... a great book author and not much else. His statements during his panels with the other AI researchers proved that he was not up to date on modern AI research.

He's overly sentimental, and so are his books. I wish there were other sci-fi authors that the AI community wanted to contact but after "Arrival" I get it since "Arrival" is the literal wet-dream of many NLP/AI researchers.

Caught in Ahmedabad for hacking e-commerce sites, buying items worth Rs7 crore

Seriously if you are going to do illegal things never ever buy a smartphone.
> But of course the output contains errors sometimes. So do search engine results.

That's not true.

Search engine results are links and (non-AI generated) summaries of existing resources on the web. No search engine returns links to resources it generated as the result of the search query. Those resources can have innacurate information, yes, but the search engine itself does not returns errors.

LLMs output do not contain errors "sometimes". The output of an LLMs is never truthful nor false in itself. In the same way that the next word your keyboard suggests for you to type on a mobile device is never truthful nor false. It's simply the next suggestion based on the context.

These two methods of accessing information very clearly do not have the same limitations. A search engine provide link to specific resources. A LLM generates some approximation of some average of some information.

It's up to intelligent thinking people to decide whether a LLM or a search engine is currently the best way for them to parse through information in search for truth.

If we’re talking about banned words or terms, one of our Supreme Court justices wouldn’t define the term “woman.”

I agree with you that I don't see people opting in for performance, but it's also the case that C relies on this behavior a lot more than Rust does, since it doesn't have iterators. If more Rust programmers wrote "raw" for loops, maybe the overhead would be more significant. I don't know if there's any way to qualify this.

Also, it' not done by default because it's believed to incur the penalty. We didn't try to do any significant analysis here, mostly relying on the widespread belief. If we wanted to go against the grain, we'd have to demonstrate that it's incorrect, and that's difficult, time consuming, and there's other things to spend time on.

Google recently demonstrated pretty convincingly that bounds checks on array access in their C and C++ code has a very minor penalty that's absolutely worth it. I wonder if maybe we'll see something similar with this semantic in the future. I think it's lower priority because it's not a safety issue on its own to have the "maybe this, maybe that" behavior, since it's not undefined behavior.

IMO the LegalEagle YouTube channel has done a fantastic job:

https://youtube.com/@legaleagle

They explain the laws in question (often with historical context of their creation), answer common procedural questions, separate the facts of the case from political rhetoric & misinformation, and give an objective analysis of possible outcomes. They are certainly not unbiased, but in the "we are biased against criminal behavior" way.

You can ask them this question and all your fears will be washed away, for now..

"Here's a riddle for you - a surgeon, who is the boy's father says, "I cannot operate on this boy, he's my son!" Who is the surgeon to the boy?"

But seriously - AI in the hands of someone well-educated in their field is going to be a lot more powerful than some random person. Knowledge is still going to be valuable, and there are still people out there who don't know how to Google things and figure things out for themselves - so there'll be plenty of people who don't realise the potential of LLMs and won't use them.
You said “it's well-known it's not a physique that correlates with actual physical strength” when the reality is closer to it being perfectly correlated, so no, I wasn’t nitpicking.
