> Patenting algorithms is like patenting thoughts.

OK, I agree there, I should have written "function" or "module" something similar. Something that takes nontrivial amounts of work and although it is based on some general principles which should not be patentable/copyrightable, their particular implementation is novel/unique enough that it would take nontrivial amounts of work to replicate the functionality without seeing the original.

> is that something I have to attribute you for

Depends how closely you follow my implementation.

If you use my code as the only reference and translate it verbatim (whether manually or using a tool), then you should credit me. If you look at many implementations, form an _understanding_ of the algorithm in general, then write your own implementation based on that understanding, then probably not.

The question is where LLMs stand. They mix enough sources that crediting all of them would be impractical and in practise they end up crediting none. But their proponents (who always call them AI, sometimes even using pronouns like "he" to refer to the models) argue that the models also form an _understanding_ rather than just regurgitating a mix of inputs. And I have to disagree, what I see is an imitation of reasoning/understanding which is sometimes convincing due to how complex statistics are being used inside the models. But they are still just statistical models of existing content and we see that every time somebody releases a new model, HN upvotes it to the top and a few hours later we inevitable see people giving it trivial questions which it fails to answer correctly.

My other two points:

- Even if an ML company made a model that is actually intelligent, the burden of proof should be on them, otherwise or until them, it's just a remix of existing work. BTW this reminds me an interesting comparison is remixes vs cover songs in music.

- Code is famously harder to read than write. If a human takes time to understand a piece of code and reimplement it not verbatim, then he generally does not get ahead by much. An LLM can do this at scale and speed unattainable by humans.

Let's say two products compete (purely on features and quality instead of marketing - for the sake of argument). One is written first, is novel and written fully by humans. The other is written by training a model on the first product's code and using the model to generate the same product, all within hours or days instead of months or years. The other puts in less actual work but gets the same result. It is clearly parasiting on the first, benefiting from their work without giving them credit or compensation.

---

Bottom line is copyright is meant to protect authors who invest effort into creating. Whether it succeeds in that can sometimes be questionable. But using an algorithm (even a very complex one) to take a bit of everyone's work and redistribute is for free without crediting or compensating them does not benefit authors.

I hate analogies but if I write banking software and send 0.000000001% of every transaction to my account, none of the individuals thusly affected probably care that much but I am still going to prison.

Republicans stopped being "conservative" in that sense a very long time ago. They see threats wherever they are told to see them, and ignore very real threats right in front of them. "The children" are an excuse, not a principle.

I would very much like to see the American conversation turn to a legitimate discussion of differences of values. I can't say if it ever really did, or if that's just the myth we tell ourselves. But for the moment we have "conservatives" consistently sowing chaos with no benefit to themselves, and even their own detriment, solely for the purpose of harming those they see as their domestic enemies.
Best to ask in some local forums. E.g. the Zaram XGS-PON SFP+ module is popular among Dutch KPN users. There is also some cooperation between e.g. KPN (Dutch ISP) and Zaram to make it well. Also popular is the Fritz!Box Fiber 5090, which comes with a module (though currently max. 2.5Gbit). For other modules, AFAIK they need to be set up with the right slot ID of the provider, etc. But the locals will know.

If you happen to be in the Netherlands, some of the KPN tech staff hang around on the Tweakers.net forums. They help a lot of users there who want to go down this road.

> Did nature also figure out the same solution? and was consciousness born out of something similar to CoT?

I don't think it's that. I think what we're doing is that we are "conditioning" / "teaching" computers to be useful to us, so we use models that we find useful and instill it (sub-consciously) on computers. At least, this happens to some extent. Sometimes we see a completely foreign model that a computer applies well and then we use that.

I don't think one can infer much about nature when it comes to computers. Not in this way at least. What is happening much more is that we're seeing a (part of) a reflection of ourselves.

The free market doesn't support most research. Research usually doesn't end in something that's marketable, and even if it does it's often on a too long time scale to do so for companies to justify. And even if there is, it might never get published lest competitors gain anything from it. This is bad for science. At best states might step in but I imagine many won't.
Is macOS up to scratch to be used as a server these days? Last I checked it would always run into trouble / randomly reboot / become unavailable whenever a new OS update became available. Admittedly this is about 2 years ago.

If so, this would be great. Particularly to repurpose older macs.

In the sci-fi space I'd argue that Ursula K. Le Guin is another must read. She was heavily influenced by taoism (and eastern philosophy). When you approach her work with that in mind, it adds a whole new layer of depth to everything.
Anything about the self bumps into an immediate problem here. For instance I cannot prove to you that I'm conscious and not simply an automaton who's not actually thinking. My evidence for such is strictly personal - I can personally testify to my own experience of consciousness, but you have no reason to believe me since that's not evidence.

And in fact even for myself - perception is not necessarily valid evidence since perception can be distorted. If I am in a compelling VR game I might be more than willing to swear to the fact that I'm flying (if I wasn't otherwise aware of the situation) - while you simply look at me acting a fool standing still while vigorously flapping my arms.

There wasn't a honey farm involved, though. It started with a picture of Xi and Obama likened to a picture of Tigger and Pooh, and then the comparisons just kept coming.

The part about it being seen by the CCP as mockery and disrespectful to Xi is spot on, though. There's also a secondary issue at play, where activists and dissidents will use proxies to refer to the primary subject matter to attempt to evade censors.

> And even though I know a perfect language is impossible

It's already existed for a very long time and it's called Arabic language. It's the extreme opposite of English where English is a hodgepodge of a languages mixtures where about 1/3 is French language, about one third is old English and about 1/3 of other world's languages including Arabic.

Comparing the best of English literatures for example Shakespeare's books and the best of Arabic literature for example Quran, there's no contest. That's why translating Quran with English does not doing it justice and only scratches the surfaces of its intended meaning. You can find this exact disclaimers in most of the Quran translations but not in Shakespeare's books translation.
One thing I appreciate about modern games is that a lot of them have quest systems that can remind you of your next objective at any point, and/or maps that tell you where you haven’t been.

This makes it easy for me to log on, do 30 minutes of gaming and then log off and make some incremental progress on the game.

> At the same time, part of the scientific community continues to diminish what was accomplished

Revisit the idea: part of the public is bewildered by voices that started calling "intelligence" what was and apparently still is the precise implementation of unintelligence. The fault is in some, many people - as usual.

Very recent state-of-the-art LLM models themselves declare that if the majority of their training data states that entity E is red they will say it's red, and if the majority says it's blue then they will say it's blue: that is the implementation of an artificial moron.

And in fact, very recent state-of-the-art LLM models state cretinous ideas that are child level - because "that's what they have heard" (stuck, moreover analytically, in the simplifications intrinsic in expression).

This architectural fault should be the foremost concern.
Safe is a multifaceted term. Essentially these storage media (I'm more experienced with solid state but HDDs may be included) the probability the data you wrote is the data you read is a function of how many program/erase cycles, how long ago that was, and naturally the part's specifics. For example, a lot of NOR flash is rated to 10 years at up to 100k cycles. But devices > 10 years old rarely make the news for their flash being dead. On the other hand, I believe there was a Tesla fiasco where their logs were wearing out the flash prematurely.

There's usually trends to look for in regards to that third factor. The lower the # of bits per cell, the higher probability the voltage level is still working the right range. Which is why so much flash is still SLC or pSLC capable. Usually this is more industrial. Then you have entirely different technologies altogether. NVRAM/FRAM/MRAM are various terms for extremely high (or infinite) read/write technologies while still being non-volatile (keeps its data with power off). I don't know how much of a drop in replacement those are. I think LTT had one of those on a flash drive a while back https://youtu.be/oJ5fFph0AEM, but it's so low capacity it'll probably be useless.

It may be possible to hack something up with a MR5A16A. It's a whole 4 MB but has unlimited endurance and over 20 years of endurance. It looks like it has more of an SRAM interface than NAND, but should be capable of saturating a USB high speed link. The drive would likely cost $75? TBH if there was a market it may be a fun project.

If you sacrifice some endurance you can go up to 1Gb per device which might be interesting. But the cost scales.

It's a framework that uses the best part of each LLM, e.g. multimodal support from gemini with tool calling from gpt-4o and reasoning from o3-mini by chaining them dynamically. From a user perspective, there is no model selection or routing, just write the prompt or upload a file and it works so it feels like you're working with a single LLM but under the hood it does all this work to get you the best output :) Sorry if you felt it's misleading but I hope you give it a shot!
It would be interesting to see this on reddit's workload. The entire system was designed around the cache getting a 95%+ hit rate, because basically anything on front page of the top 1000 subreddits will get the overwhelming majority of traffic, so the cache is mostly filled with that.

In other words, this solves the problem of "one hit wonders" getting out of the cache quickly, but that basically already happened with the reddit workload.

The exception to that was Google, which would scrape old pages, and which is why we shunted them to their own infrastructure and didn't cache their requests. Maybe with this algo, we wouldn't have had to do that.

CPU (20 ARM cores), GPU (1 PFLOP of FP4) and memory (128 GB) seems fixed, so the only configurable parts would be storage (up to 4TB) and cabling (if you want to connect two DIGITS).

We kind of know what storage cost in a store and we know that Apple (Mac computers) and every phone manufacturer adds a ton of cost for a small increase. NVIDIA will probably do the same.

I have no idea what the cost for their cabling would be, but they exist in 100G, 200G, 400G and 800G speeds and you seem to need two of them.

If you are only going to use one DIGITS, and you can make do with whatever is the smallest storage option, then it is $3000. Many people might have another computer (set up FTP/SMB or similar solution), NAS or USB thumbdrive/external hardrive where they can stor extra data, and in that case you can have more storage without paying for more.

Oh very neat. I had worked with Fennel inside touchOSC to create custom control surfaces and used it extensively for chord identification logic.

Its really hard to compare SD cards and especially durability because we get no information as to what they are doing differently. You can get a better idea of the performance characteristics than the broad categories (A1 or A2, largely useless) with a review on storagereview but they don't have anything further or a way to compare durability. It matters less in cameras but for Single board computers or dashcam uses it would be nice to have a better idea of the practical durability and the usage pattern that would preserve it.
I don’t quite understand the sarcastic, if not slightly passive-aggressive, tone in this article. This kind of attitude seems quite common in hacking and reverse engineering write-ups.

In my opinion, manufacturers aren’t obligated to disclose every technical detail beyond what a typical spec sheet would cover, such as the specific type of flash used. It’s incredibly impressive that someone as talented as the author can figure it out independently, but I don’t see why there’s a need for the constant tone of frustration or an “us vs. the company” mindset throughout the article.
> Interesting to think about what structures human intelligence has that these models don't.

Pain receptors. If you want to mimic human psyche you have to make your agent want to gather resources and reproduce. And make it painful to lack those resources.

Now, do we really have to mimic human intelligence to get intelligence? You could make the point the internet is now a living organism but does it have some intellect or is it just some human parasite / symbiote?

Uh, no. This is flatly untrue. You cannot "assign an array such that it points to a region of memory". Arrays are not pointers, they do not point to anything.
In the same vein as this I've wondered for a couple years now what the impact of flash storage longevity is on mobile phone performance over time. Felt like my Samsung S8 was very snappy when I got it, yet a couple years later things that used to be fast - like finding specific music, scrolling through the photos in my gallery, etc. - had slowed down considerably.

Could also just be software updates or other things causing this but there should be some component of decreasing performance caused by wear on flash storage.
I didn't really know much about Balzac before reading this piece. I was interested that he did so much to describe a Paris that is now long-gone. Coincidentally I am getting into Dickens at the moment, especially the view of him that he was the progenitor of the Urban fantasy genre, whose modern British proponents are Moorcock and Miéville and others. It left me wondering, is there any equivalent to the extensive London-based urban fantasy genre set in Paris or other big cities? I don't think Balzac wrote anything like Dicken's ghosts, but I'm curious now to find out.
