You could for instance consider actual facts? Because 100% of what you read online is in fact not propaganda.

Then you might find that some sources are filled with lies and others contain a lot more facts.

Then you'd naturally weight facts from the more trustworthy source higher.

The next step is a "web of trust" where a new source will be more trustworthy if it's linked to by other trustworthy sources.

So in the end you'd rank information from Russia Today (one of Russia's main propaganda channels) as very low, a comment from a random redditor low, and a comment on physics by a renowned physicist as very high trustworthiness.

The Gemini model isn't open so it does not matter what hardware you have. You might have confused Gemini with Gemma.
The interface and search could probably be solved without the use of AI. Seems like mostly an OCR problem. Both ElasticSearch and Sphinx are already really good, and I'm sure that there are other open source or commercial search engines available, or hire ex-Google engineers, Google doesn't seem interested in search anymore.
I don‘t understand why this is bad. Aggregation is a feature because it allows to be no worse than Google, in my experience likely better, and you pay for search with money and not with data.
probably a mix of economies of scale (google workspace and search are already massive customers of these models meaning the build out is already there), and some efficiency dividends from hardware r&d (google has developed the model and the TPU hardware purpose built to run it almost in parallel)

IANAL, but if you're asking for a technically-correct answer, it depends on which place's laws you're using for the statement.

If the crime can be done with hands and objects, yes.

If the crime requires an actual phallus, no. (It'd still be something else, like sexual assault.)
Somewhat exactly? Supporting local is largely the opposite of supporting scale.

Unless you have the idea that local farms can make up all of the sales that are done, then you are arguing for a practice that will result in a lower supply of goods. With a lower supply, you expect prices to rise until the demand adjusts down to a lower value, as well. No?

Hence, this is great advice for anyone to try. But if everyone does it, things get more expensive as you lose out on the very advantages that led to the "at scale" solutions in the first place.
How do today’s LLM’s like Gemini compare with the Document Understanding services google/aws/azure have offered for a few years, particularly when dealing with known forms? I think Google’s is Document AI.
there's other reasons for the vdom though.

vdom is necessary in react to abstract the view from the platform so it can be represented by react-dom and react-native[-x] bridges.

That's true. But uncritical ones are flagged just as much as critical ones (if not more), so I think we can guess at the common variable.

This implementation should be avoided; it is weird, buggy, and unnecessarily complicated.

In particular, using some pseudocode to simplify:

rb = new RingBuffer(... capacity=3, orderedReads=false/*the default*/)
rb.put_all(A, B, C, D)
rb.get() // D
rb.put(E)
rb.get_all(3) // E, C, D again

I haven't looked for bugs with orderedReads=true (besides the obvious memory leak), but given the footguns and unnecessarily complications this should be avoided regardless.

It's so disappointing, because "recommended" used to be brilliant to find stuff similar-ish to what you're watching.

But these days half of it is outrage bait, ranging from "WOKE LIBTARD GETS DESTROYED" to "TRUMP LOSES HIS MIND", or malicious clickbait like "you won't believe what the cast if $tv_show looks like now" with some AI generated thing of one cast member being horribly maimed. Even on stuff that has nothing to do with any of that, like some music video.

And whether "Trump loses his mind" is something you agree or disagree with doesn't even matter – I'm just here to listen to some music, maybe watch a funny video or two. To take a break from all of that. It's become so pervasive that it's just exhausting.

So normal people like you or me just withdraw. And the only people who don't are the hyper-politicised who never grow tired of talking of $favourite_issue, which tend to be rather less reasonable or open to nuance. And this feedback loop just makes things worse and worse.

This, in a nutshell, is why you need moderation. People talk about "enshittification" of platforms, but IMO the bigger problem is more the "cuntification" of platforms, where a small number of extremely unpleasant and vitriolic people chase off many people who don't want to deal with that. X.com is a well-known example, but also online games where you're matched with random people (where you very quickly learn a great deal about your mother's sex life).

Well, it's clear you didn't take the time to try. There are multiple threads on this and related topics, with inputs from all browser vendors.

This has been a high-priority standards request from framework and rendering library maintainers for many, many years. Chrome is not at all being ridiculous.
We recently changed Roc's lambda syntax from the syntax that languages like Elm and Haskell use...

foo = \arg1, arg2 ->
body

...to this:

foo = |arg1, arg2|
body

The reason for this change was that we have a new and extremely well-received language feature (landed but not yet formally announced) which results in `->` and `=>` having different meanings in the type system. This made it confusing to have `->` in the syntax for anonymous functions, because it seemed to suggest a connection with the type-level `->` that wasn't actually there.

The most popular syntax that mainstream languages use today for anonymous functions is something like `(arg1, arg2) => body` but of course that has the same problem with having an arrow in it, so changing to that wouldn't have solved the problem.

Rust uses `|arg1, arg2| body` (and Ruby kinda uses it too for blocks), and we'd all had fine experiences using that syntax in Rust, so we chose it as the new lambda syntax. You can see the new syntax in the code example at the top of roc-lang.org.
NYT will lose:

Copyright only protects the actual text. LLMs have weights, not exact copies. In any case, saying "if I put in some input and get copyrighted output" is tantamount to copyright violations; if I use a generative tool and generate copyrighted info is it the tools fault?

An LLM is a dump of effectively arbitrary numbers that, when hooked up to a command line, uses one of the world's most awful programming languages to evaluate and execute.

OpenAI at most broke an EULA or some technicality on copyright w.r.t. local ephemeral copies. What's the damage to the NYT though?
Archive.org is outside of the reach of the US government, and is globally distributed. When the US government deletes or darks data (as it has recently done across wide swaths of the federal government website properties), you have no recourse. This means your argument about the resources that go into the US government as a data custodian are meaningless: the outcome is what is material, which is the archival and long term custody & availability of the data sets in scope. Arguably, the Internet Archive has recently proven better at this job than the US government (unsurprising).

You're angry at a high value non profit operating on a limited budget. It's weird. I recommend focusing on more important issues than "it is icky around the richmond facility, the power goes out once in a while, and they use ambient air and convection for system cooling which I don't like."

If you want to save democracy, the Internet Archive doesn't do that itself. It protects the historical record. If you want to save democracy, that's a different conversation.

This has held true for literally 4 years. And it's not some niche store - it's a Kroger-owned chain!
It's not a "theory," it's simply reading Section 1 of Articles I, II, and III at a 6th grade reading level.

Article I says: "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States." May Congressional staff exercise legislative powers independently of the Congressmen? Nobody thinks that.

Article III says: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." May judiciary branch staff exercise judicial powers independently of Supreme Court Justices and lower-court judges? Nobody thinks that.

Article I says: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." May executive branch staff exercise executive powers independently of the President? My sixth grader could understand that the answer is "no."

There is nothing in here about the president being a "king." It's simply that the President controls the executive branch, in the same way the Congressmen control the legislative branch and the Supreme Court justices control the judicial branch.
Sure, but those same employees also had to stay home not working for months while they were getting their clearances, so clearly that's considered reasonable.
You missed the fundamental point. The only ranking that can be done via a dating app is a ranking of the attributes that can be shared via a dating app. That will always leave out the attributes that would otherwise be shared via person-to-person interaction.

The only way to meaningfully change this situation is by sorting/ranking after interpersonal interaction.

Read a commentary on the Abram's dissent, where Holmes made the first step toward articulating a "marketplace of ideas".

Holmes was suprisingly nihilistic, and I feel his formation of the search and competition for truth held now idealized beliefs of human behavior.

He accepted that people woudl be driven by their passions and biases, including things like a desire to create cohesion. That this was also something traded as a value and motivating force.

no.

I worked with a guy where you would try to predict what he would bitch about next. In this example, you would write it as a ternary so you don't have to hear about it ... and he'd suggest it be an if-else statement.

Nobody fucking cares which one it is; is it readable? That's the real question. Your preference of which version of "readable" it is only applies when you are the author. If you're that picky about it, write it yourself. That's what we eventually did to that guy after the team got sick of it. Anytime he'd complain about something like that, we would invite him to write a PR to our PR, otherwise, get over it. Then, we would merge our PR before he could finish.

He eventually got fired for no longer able to keep up with his work due to constantly opening refactor PR's to the dev branch.
When typing on the test box at the bottom, if Caps Lock is on you can hold shift to type in lowercase. But while that makes sense for Windows users (last I checked), on macOS holding shift while Caps Lock in on has no effect, it keeps the uppercase. I don’t remember on Linux.

Median lawyer rates are more like $200-300/h, with variations depending on locality--a lawyer in NYC is going to be much more expensive than a lawyer in middle-of-nowhere, Kentucky.

As for why they're expensive, part of the answer is because legal training (i.e., law school) is expensive, and lawyers have to pay their student debt.

I just think it's an interesting way to think about these things. There are a couple recommendations these kinds of guides recurringly make that are "tells" that the people writing it aren't, let's say, super engaged with the communities of expertise the recommendations are meant to be drawn from.

I've also been a long time user of Microsoft's OSes, and despite many others here on HN, I actually liked windows almost the whole time I was a user.

I switched when Apple Silicon came out as well, but had a few flirtations with macOS prior to that with Intel macs. Finder is dog shit compared to almost any other file manager on both Windows and Linux. So much so that I just use the terminal now for almost all file tasks.

I don't love macOS, but I hate what Windows has become more, and these laptops are hard to beat, almost perfect combination of performance & battery life.

I suppose if Apple ever fully iOS-isfys macOS I'll just end up on Linux full-time, and I keep Mint on a spare laptop to toy with, I don't mind it, but I have no need to fully switch yet.

It’s not illegal to pay someone who is frustrated by circumstance in performing the duties of their government job.

I don't disagree with that. But what's discussed in the article--exercising control over grants--is squarely within the domain of running, rather than abolishing.

Price of raw solar panels and inverters is so absurdly cheap, tariffs can't impact them much. They make under 10% of final price of installed systems and included financing costs and maintenance over lifetime, under 5% of LCOE. Even if you put 200% tariff that will only raise electricity cost by 10%.

Almost all cost there is soft cost. And land use fees.

There are few solar installations being made in the US because US has energy security and needs none of that stuff: it produces way more than enough of reliable fossil based energy for itself with plenty left for export. China is in a different position.

Exactly this.

2 are nearly guaranteed to break because we have a couple of republicans that always vote no on budget bills because they want massive cuts to everything.

That means either the bill ends up completely destroying federal funding, which risks losing centrist republicans or republicans in tight district races. Or the bill ends up trying to win over a few democrats in similarly contested districts, which risks losing a fair bit of republicans that reject any bills that have democrat votes.
It does have an impact on app development. I personally don't care for web-only libraries / frameworks.
That's because of a then ongoing pandemic and making an allowance. That's completely different than just do nothing for 6+ months then quit. If you can't see that, there's no hope for this discussion.
It loads the entire PDF into context, but then it would be my job to chunk the output for RAG, and just doing arbitrary fixed-size blocks, or breaking on sentences or paragraphs is not ideal.

So I can ask Gemini to return chunks of variable size, where each chunk is a one complete idea or concept, without arbitrarily chopping a logical semantic segment into multiple chunks.
But that resignation was part of a larger deal. If the deal is thrown out, shouldn't the resignation be thrown out too?

Came to say the same thing. Fortunate to have a store front on my block in brooklyn that sources primarily from area farms. No interruption in supply or change in prices (though I've always been paying in the $7 range).

Besides all the arguments around diverse food supply and economic SPOFs, it just feels so much better to shop this way.

The numbers in the blog post seem VERY inaccurate.

Quick calculation:
Input pricing: Image input in 2.0 Flash is $0.0001935. Let's ignore the prompt.
Output pricing: Let's assume 500 token per page, which is $0.0003

Cost per page: $0.0004935

That means 2,026 pages per dollar. Not 6,000!

Might still be cheaper than many solutions but I don't see where these numbers are coming from.

By the way, image input is much more expensive in Gemini 2.0 even for 2.0 Flash Lite.

Edit: The post says batch pricing, which would be 4k pages based on my calculation. Using batch pricing is pretty different though. Great if feasible but not practical in many contexts.
Who is going to enforce the law? Trump appointed judges? Even if the lawsuits are successful, our system depends on the Executive branch respecting the verdict.

You're ignoring the point of what I'm saying though, which is that the required prompt is relevant to determining if ChatGPT itself is the thing violating the copyright. I can probably get ChatGPT to produce any sequence of tokens I want given enough time, that doesn't mean ChatGPT is violating every copyright in existence, somewhere you have to draw the line.

Sony has this thing they call Bravia Core (which they no renamed to Sony Pictures Core) and as far as I can tell, it’s restricted to Bravia TVs (okay also PlayStations and an Xperia phone apparently). You get a certain number of credits when you buy a tv I guess. And then I don’t think you can even buy more. I get that it’s Sony trying to monetize their content in a way (though I’m not sure it really incentivizes the TV purchase if people don’t really know about it…) but it seems like a step in the wrong direction if other studios are looking to make their catalogs more accessible. The killer feature for the Sony service though is that it’s super high bandwidth and really high quality stream. (But, in testing it, it seems some of their tv processor hardware or memory limits can’t handle the load).

It’s like the most bizarre version of a walled garden.

At least using YouTube kind of makes it accessible to more people. And YouTube does have some high bitrate options
> They're advising the President, and the President is cleaning house.

That may be a distinction without a difference. The reason to have advisors around is so you can rely on them to make a proposal you can sign off on, because they understand your overall vision. If they're not proposing cuts he agrees with, he'll replace DOGE leadership until he finds people who do.
Anyone else wants more articles on how those benchmarks are created and how they work?

Those models can be trained in way tailored to have good results on specific benchmarks, making them way less general than it seems. No accusation from me, but I'm skeptical on all the recent so called 'breakthroughs'.

Agreed on all counts, Discovery is the company I was referring to and Discovery+ was the 'failing' platform, not HBO Max. Though to be fair my recollection was hazy and the story around Discovery+ is not that simple given that it has stuck around post merge and is profitable according to Zaslav. I don't really trust his definition of profitable given his general love for accounting fuckery but the fact that its running is something.

As an aside, props to the team. It's been a while but I remember being pleasantly surprised after getting shuffled over from HBO GO. It's even more impressive to know it was such a small team compared to other services.
They're not being dismantled. Funding is being paused while they are audited --and the audits are showing very concerning waste, potential fraud and are being reorganized under a different department.

This is a good thing. They should not get to waste our tax dollars without oversight and fraud detection.
