“The study's authors make clear that the results do not indicate Tesla vehicles are inherently unsafe or have design flaws. [...] “The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities,” iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer said in the report.”

It's also interesting in the context of this argument that they exclude models older than 2018.
My biggest concern is, what happens when countries like China, who aren't restricted by this, far outpace western countries in this technology? Do we just shrug and accept our far inferior models? LLMs are a productivity multiplier (similar to a search engine), so it'll have a large impact on the economy if licensing costs prohibit large scale training.
It is far more likely that everything, and not just IT, but everything collapses than we make it to the point you mention.

LLMs replace entry level people who invested in education. They would have the beginning knowledge, but there's no means to become better because opportunities are non-existent because they replaced these positions. Its a sequential pipeline failure of talent development. In the meantime you have the mid and senior level people who cannot pass their knowledge on, they age out, and die.

What happens when you hit a criticality point where production which is dependent on these systems, and it can no longer continue.

The knowledge implicit in production is lost, the economic incentives have been poisoned. The distribution systems are destroyed.

How do you bootstrap recovery for something that effectively took several centuries to build in the first place, but not in centuries but in weeks/months.

If this isn't sufficient enough to explain the core of the issue. Check out the Atari/Nintendo crash, which isn't nearly as large as this but goes into the dangers of destroying your distributor networks.

If you pay attention to the details, you'll see Atari's crash was fueled by debt financing, and in the process they destroyed their distributor networks with catastrophic losses. After that crash, Nintendo couldn't get shelf-space; no distributor would risk the loss without a guarantee. They couldn't advertise as video games. They had to trojan horse the perception of what they were selling, and guarantee it. There is a documentary on Amazon which covers this, playing with power. Check it out.
> If the copyright holders win, the model giants will just license.

No, they won't. The biggest models want to train on literally every piece of human-written text ever written. You can pay to license small subsets of that at a time. You can't pay to license all of it. And some of it won't be available to license at all, at any price.

If the copyright holders win, model trainers will have to pay attention to what they train on, rather than blithely ignoring licenses.
Oh, huh, yeah, used to be blogger, deleted it years back.
They didn’t train it on every available copyrighted work though, but on a specific set of legal questions and answers. And they did try to license them, and only did the workaround after not getting a license.
For quantization, very big impact for small models, can drop at much as 10% on AIME. Our model does best on bfloat16 ;)

every “what is good for the kids” problem is solved in the same way - good parenting. ban books - political theatre. ban nudity/porn - political theatre.

and why focus on sex? if I give my kid unsupervised access to the internet she can be subjected to endless stream of beheading videos and much much worse than that… I would HOPE AND PRAY she watches porn vs. other shit that is out there is kids are allowed unsupervised access

Fun topics. My main proposal would be the source of ulcers not necessarily being stress.

I also love the Shannon's information on here. That one was so revolutionary that I don't think many of us really comprehend how much it changed things.

I saw folks mention continental drift on here. That is one that is mind blowing for how recent it was. Reminds me that we had nuclear power before we had computers.
I don't have either a data center, or every single copyrighted work in history to import as training data to train my open source model.

Whether or not OpenAI is found to be breaking the law will be utterly irrelevant to actual open AI efforts.
My great grandmother, who was 83 or 84 at the time, had had a brain tumor (which was removed once it got to between golf ball and baseball size) and was pretty far along into Alzheimer's as she got got close to her death.

For the last several months, she wasn't able to feed or clothe herself, and she was basically immobile.

The day she died, she got up, went to her room, made her bed (unthinkable in the state she was in), put on her "Sunday's best" and laid down peacefully in the middle of her bed and passed.

Her daughter (my grandmother), was floored. She just said she must have just known it was her time, and that she had a few minutes of lucidity before dying.

Whether there's any truth to that I'm not qualified to answer, but if you had seen the state she was in for quite some time prior to that day, her actions would certainly have been surprising to say the least.

Correct, but it turns out, a fair fraction of the people who day 1 purchase a GPU for that much may not necessarily be described as wholly sane.
Last year I was doing a livestream for a band. The NVidia encoder on my friend's computer (running Windows) just wouldn't work. We tried in vain to install drivers and random stuff from Nvidia. I pulled out my own machine with Linux and Intel iGPU and not only did it worked flawlessly, but did so on battery and with charge to spare.

On the other hand, I have to keep the driver for the secondary GPU (also intel) blacklisted because last time I tried to use it it was constantly drawing power.
For that it would make more sense to run a routine which replaces letters with visually identical glyphs at different encoding points.
Cool. What's the best way to reach you? I could join the LOTJ Discord and ping you there, perhaps?

Yes and no. Google, Apple, et al are just using the official names in the GNIS. So while the decision from the powers that be was insanely arbitrary, in the case of the mapmakers this is far from their first rodeo when it comes to conflicted place names.
> Lower voltage would be OK, but then all of the cables and plugs would need to be redesigned. And there would still need to be for voltage switching unless we start adding a protocol and have PSU switch voltage dynamically... which is also not efficient.

It's not like that. It's a design where PSU only provides 12V to motherboard and motherboard provides the rest. Only location of those connectors change. It's called ATX12VO.

In modern PC almost nothing draws from 3v3 rail, not even RAM. I'm pretty sure nothing draws 3v3 directly from PSU at all today.

5v rail directly from PSU only used for SATA drives.
This is one of those secret versus private things that pops up now and then.
Nah, it takes a mastermind to be creative. The tiny models IME are good at following explicit instructions for data transformations (conforming to a JSON schema is especially helpful) but I wouldn't expect one to solve a problem I haven't already solved myself like how I use the .6T full size models.
As always: not to acquit the heinous perpetrator but I can't help but think the bigger fundamental issue is that we maintain a tax-payer funded dial-a-juiced-up-hitman service in the first place.
>You can escape that rat race if you want to.

I'm working on it. But it takes money and the overlords definitely are trying to squeeze as of late.

And yes, while I don't think I'm being replaced in months or years, I can a possibility in a decade or two of the ladder being pulled up on most programming jobs. We'll either be treated as well as artists (assuming we still don't unionize) or we'll have to rely on our own abilities to generate value without corporate overlords.
I'm sure that's true.

And it means that you do not know how to do electrical or plumbing work.

That's fine! But take it from someone who does: it does not take years of training to be excellent at it. Household electric and plumbing is extremely straightforward. Commercial can be much more complicated! And if you run into any semi-complicated stuff, like say a bathroom below grade where you need a toilet to flush uphill ... you learn it from the vast resources available, or you call a plumber for that bit. Simple.

Similarly, if you ever are not 100% certain of your own work, you call a licensed tradesman for the inspection. Note that this is not always allowed -- but where it is, everyone agrees that it makes total sense.
While the GOP is wrong here, that doesn't mean every criticism of them is true or that the Democrats are flawless. Calling out one party's illegalities while ignoring the other's is literally being one-sided.

Property rights, of course, exist within the framework of a civilization that upholds the rule of law, and I agree with you on its fundamental importance as a building block of prosperity.

I realize now that my comment didn't make this clear, but I meant that at a civilizational level, there isn't something special to be the "first" group of people[0] to a patch of land; what matters is whether any civilization to occupy a territory at a given point of time builds enough wealth and strength to defend their claim and way of life against subsequent civilizations to come along.

Numerous other commenters appear to dunk on me for this distinction, but I believe property rights within a civilization are not comparable to this scale. What framework exists at the supra-civilizational scale?

"The biggest models want to train on literally every piece of human-written text ever written"

They genuinely don't. There is a LOT of garbage text out there that they don't want. They want to train on every high quality piece of human-written text they can get their hands on (where the definition of "high quality" is a major piece of the secret sauce that makes some LLMs better than others), but that doesn't mean every piece of human-written text.
I agree and people downvoting you are dumb. Chess + Orcs Must Die would be a fantastic concept!

Might be in your market.

Audi costs easily 2x for abysmal specs and reliability. Kia/Hyundai is better deal, but they are such bare cars it's almost like driving 90s Toyota. Spec them out to base Tesla (i.e. power seats, power liftgate, heated steering wheel, etc) and price is 1.5x higher.
Compositors under X11 were about adding drop shadows & translucency to windows, and occasionally inducing motion sickness. A Wayland compositor should be thought of as a display server, like Xorg (plus the WM, minus the legacy cruft). You can still write a pretty compact one with wlroots though.

Which is my point. A project like wlroots should have been in the spotlight the same way Xorg was, so that new compositors (or existing X11 WMs) could adopt it easily, and both users and developers could benefit from an emerging-but-stable ecosystem. Instead it took like a decade to standardise and implement screen capture.
Would the difference in density be more likely due to a difference in design philosophy or the intel design team being less expert?

Show HN: Mapping the Unix Magic Poster – An Interactive Annotation Project
Hi HN,

We've discussed the Unix Magic poster before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27029196). Like many of you, I love this poster and all the Unix references hidden in it.

I built this as a static site that lets us annotate the Unix Magic poster by placing markers on references and adding descriptions to explain them. I've added a few so far, but there's much more to document.

What I love about this approach is that contributions happen not just on the site itself but also through PRs, where we can discuss and refine the details of each reference. Feel free to send a PR!

Code: https://github.com/drio/unixmagic
Live site: https://drio.github.io/unixmagic

Would love feedback, suggestions, and PRs from the community!

Thanks!

> DEHP is a compound added to plastics (like vinyl tape) to make them more flexible. It’s used in hundreds of household products, which means lots of people who bathe in Dr. Bronner’s Useless Fluid think it will kill them.

I get the joke (that people who use Dr. Bronner's soap are probably uninformed hippies) but am confused by the "Useless" part. I've used that soap and thought it seemed fine. Is it a known fact, or factoid, or meme, among smart people that Dr. Bronner's is ineffective?
I never met Chris Wood before but I remember this name due to him being a co-author of the Private Access Token idea[0]. I haven't heard of Privacy Pass before but it sounds very similar to PAT.

My understanding is that both of these would be very helpful to a VPN (I'm using the word loosely) user. Do you know if the adoption of Privacy Pass/PAT has reduced or mitigated annoyances such as frequent CAPTCHA checks for Obscura users?

> If the FSD failed there should have been some secondary system to detect an imminent collision and apply brakes.

There actually is. The Automatic Emergency Braking functions separately from FSD and can prevent collisions in some cases. It doesn't work 100% of the time so I wouldn't rely on it, but at least it works as well as or better than competitors' systems.
18 U.S.C. § 1001 is a federal law that makes it illegal to knowingly lie or make false statements. This includes falsifying documents, concealing information, or making fraudulent statements.
I think yields is the main reason, although I'm not an expert in that area. If its a standard deviation difference than it will increase their manufacturing costs. Nvidia got around this from Ada--> Blackwell by simply increasing TDP for their high-end cards and adding more cores. Their is no IPC/efficiency/node improvement, if I'm not mistaken, for the first time gen-to-gen.
I really assume it's unintentional but the parent comment isn't being reasonable - as most people would intitially think - it's doing exactly what a propagandist wants. It's exactly what a propagandist would say (as a shill, etc.).

> It could be true

That's the nature of even decent propaganda.

> ... and still propaganda, or false and propaganda? If true, pretty interesting, but presumably we might want input on the general feasibility of such an engine from a few rocket scientists. I notice mention of fuel is conspicuously absent, I would think ...

In fact, if it was clearly true, it would be poor propaganda. The goal of propaganda isn't to persuade people, but to consume the enemy's resources, bog them down, and confuse them - to immobilize them.

You might notice a lot of immobilization in our society today. How about a discussion of climate change? Privacy? Vaccines? What, impossible to discuss? How can that be?

Cui bono? - that's the clarifying, penetrating question; the assault on propaganda.
Cool project, can we submit models without writing an accompanying paper to go with it?

> it wouldn't be rather trivial in some sense for users to build the same capabilities but for personal protection from malign influences.

Yes the implication of AI in economics and society is like that of scraping, spam, scalping or fraud, ie leading to an arms race. Insurance companies denying claims, citizens fighting back filing appeals with AI. Captchas and fingerprinting to protect against bots, that use OCR and now AI to bypass the defenses.

Well, this idea of increased net productivity relies on the fact that we don’t waste the excess on fighting each other in the same games we were playing all along. It’s like a feud between tribes going from sticks to swords to guns. It’s only when you replace the zero-sum activity with a positive value that the world actually improves.

The techno-optimists see only potential in an all-else-equal world, which isn’t the world we live in. Potential is irrelevant in the face of incentives.
I spontaneously feel like this is bad news for open AI, while playing in the hands of corporate behemoths able to strike expensive deals with major publishers and top it off with the public domain.

I’m not sure this signals the end of AI and a victory for the human, but rather who gets to train the models?

I have to take all these comparisons with a heap of salt because no one bothers to run the test 20 times on each model to smooth out the probabalistic nature of the LLM landing on the right answer. There must be some fallacy for this, that you would sample once from each and declare a definitive winner, I see it all the time.
No one 0ast sole very small businesses (aka a single person with contractors) is seriously trying to replace programmers with AI right now. I do feel we will hit that phase sometimes down the line (probably in the 30's).so I at least think this is a tale to keep in the back of our minds long term.

A lot of major scientific discoveries were made while people were trying to turn base metals into gold; also known as alchemy.

Some examples include discovering phosphorus, the identification of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth as elements rather than compounds, and the development of nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. Alchemy ultimately evolved into modern chemistry.

I think the key is that thinking that something is a waste of time is the type of mentality that prevents individuals from pursuing their interests to the point where they actually make important discoveries or make great inventions.

If you put enough time and energy into anything you're bound to learn a lot and gain valuable insights at the very least.
