Would you mind sharing the answer to the math question please? The only way I would try and figure it out on my own is using an LLM…

The free press, which the AP is a part of, is literally mentioned in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
Even in the best of cases, our perceptions and interpretations of those perceptions are often dramatically flawed. Add on top of that neural atrophy, loss of oxygen, accumulation of senescent cells, poor clearance of waste products ... and what comes out is often going to be gibberish, as the remaining working parts of the mind attempts to construct a coherent narrative from the broken fragments of sensory input and failing memories.

I got interested in consciousness 35 years ago or so when I read Oliver Sacks' "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat". Although the various people depicted in the stories had some physical deficit due to a trauma of some kind, it vividly demonstrated how we rationalize our way through the world more than we reason our way through it. Our conscious mind is much more of a facade than we typically imagine.

When people say, "Well, LLMs are just generating token N+1 from the previous N tokens, they really aren't thinking", I counter with this: we have been having this discussion -- are you at all aware of the stream of words coming out of your mouth, or are you hearing them the same time that I am?

Yes, sometimes we have deliberate thought where we rehearse different lines of reasoning before uttering something, but 98% of the time we are spewing just like LLMs do. And when we do engage in deliberate thought, each of those trial sentences again just appears without consideration; we are simply post-hoc picking the one that feels best.
> I think I’m in a similar camp, right down to being raised Christian (though I’m now agnostic) and having watched TNG as a kid.

FWIW, I ended up having a crisis of faith - part of which was realizing that the value alignment of TNG and Christianity was only superficial (tl;dr: instrumental vs. terminal goals - being non-violent and compassionate because it's right, vs. being such because God will reward it and because it's good marketing for God (and His Chosen Faith)). At this point, I'm more of an atheist - I stopped being agnostic after I realized my hedging isn't coming from my own reasoning, but is just deeply ingrained fear instilled by religious beliefs I grew up with.
Startups Gamble on Fusion Energy
What models are you using? Stable diffusion 1.5, SDXL, or flux?

I've heard that Macs are pretty slow with XL and borderline unusable for flux requiring minutes at a time to generate a single image - whereas an RTX4090 can generate a 1024x1024 image with the higher quality Flux Dev model (not schnell) in 14 seconds.

OP is probably correct that if you want to branch out of just strictly LLM's, cuda is the way to go. I've never heard of anyone getting LTX or hunyuan running on a Mac for example.
Perplexity AI now allows you to ask queries with DeepSeek R1 if that's what you mean. I think AWS and Azure provides R1 in serverless mode so i guess there are companies that might be using in their own workflows.

There's no wheel on a one button mouse :P Sorry I am really joking here. We have a number of Avid mixing consoles from the 2010s that have extensive mouse UI wheel controls, yet they shipped with trackball controllers. They're actually much easier to use with a standard three-button scroll-wheel mouse. Haha.
You say "wrong political party" as if he's involved in some mild political spat. The Financial Times just ran an article about how trump might defy the supreme court on his way to burning down the republic.

Musk supported AFD while tweeting about the great replacement and throwing a nazi salute. He's supporting the wrong political party in much the same way Goebbels supported the wrong party.
This feels like a strawman, I haven't seen any proposal to eliminate or privatize NOAA. Just checking it looks like the un-avowed Project 2025 suggested commercializing the data which seems smart to me. Why let all these billion dollar weather channels, media companies, and apps ride on NOAA's free data? Non-commercial use of the data could still remain free.
I test drove a model 3 ~3 years ago and FSD was terrifying. I had no idea what it could or couldn’t do. IMO Hyundai (and others with similar features) have it perfect with adaptive cruise + active lane assist. I know exactly what it can do, it does 90% of the driving on long trips, and it doesn’t do so much that I’m tempted to put too much trust in it.

Today I, in a fit of laziness, asked claude for a c function to invert a matrix instead of writing it myself. It gave me a function that is wrong if malloc gives a pointer to non-zeroed memory. If its 99% and the 1% continue to be mistakes like that, programming is going to be hell.

Not a fan overall of what DOGE is doing, but I disagree with your line of reasoning here. Obviously not all government agencies provide comparable amounts of value to the general public based on the resources they consume. Does one have to be an expert on the inner workings and initiatives of each of these organizations to have an opinion? Maybe, but that doesn't seem practical, outside of having some large oversight body employing many people to review this... which is just what DOGE purportedly is.

Now, is the current DOGE proceeding to do this in a reasonable way? No. But that largely comes down your assessment of the people running it, not anything implicit

Well for one we can look to Diaz v. Tesla [1] where Tesla was found guilty of pervasive racism at the Tesla Fremont Factory in California:

Pervasive usage of racial slurs by management: "Robert Hurtado, a supervisor at Tesla, called Diaz the N-word over 30 times, including by saying "[N-word], hurry up," "[N-words] are lazy," and "I wish I can get all you [N-words] fired." Tr. 3:604:23-606:8. Ramon Martinez, another Tesla supervisor, called Diaz the N-word over thirty times, said "I hate you, [N-word]," and told him "to go back to Africa." Tr. 3-603:11-604:20. Diaz's supervisor, Tamotsu "Tom" Kawasaki, testified that Martinez often used the words "mayate" and "chongo," both racial slurs in Spanish. Tr. 2-281:9-12."

Burying complaints of proven racism and reprimanding the person bringing the complaint of racism: "Diaz testified that at one point, Martinez threatened to physically attack him at work and yelled at him, "You [N-words] aren't S-H-I-T." Tr. 3-610:2-612:7. Diaz complained to a supervisor, Ed Romero, and asked him to check the surveillance cameras, though Diaz's subsequent email complaint did not specifically mention racial insults. Tr. 3-612:8-614:23; see also Tr. 3-546:25-548:2 (Romero confirming this was recounted in an email). Tesla did not follow up, show Diaz the video, or interview witnesses after that event. Tr. 3-546:25-548:2, 612:8-614:23. Jackson testified that he interviewed Diaz and Martinez after the incident but did not interview the eyewitness, Rothaj Foster, because he was told by his boss to stop the investigation before it was complete. Tr. 2-387:10-390:18, 2-394:24-395:11. Jackson said he had "[v]ery little" control over how he investigated complaints. Tr. 2-396:8-397:12. Jackie Delgado Smith, a Human Resources representative, testified that Tesla HR was never told of the incident. Tr. 5-954:15-955:6. Subsequently, Diaz and Martinez were both given verbal warnings. Tr. 2-395:21-396:7. Martinez still works at Tesla. Tr. 3-571:11."

Regular presence of objectively racist symbols in workplace facilities: "In addition to verbal harassment, Diaz encountered physical symbols of racism and hostility throughout his time at Tesla. On his second day at work, he saw racist graffiti in the bathroom, and continued to see the N-word and swastikas in bathrooms throughout the rest of his employment. Tr. 3-623:1-8. Another Black employee and later supervisor, Michael Wheeler, testified that he regularly saw racist graffiti, including the N-word and swastikas, and that Diaz reported the racist graffiti he saw to Wheeler. Tr. 2-346:17-347:17."

I'm split on the topic. I think there is value in working with your hands on a service basis, but don't believe in trying to build things.

My father was a farmer for 40 years and built a business that was supposed to be his retirement. Then the government eminent domained his water rights without any compensation, destroying his life's work, and leaving him and all the other farmers in the area high and dry.

Now I don't build anything that isnt cashed out immediately.

I've not lost a child and I don't "intend" to, so for me there's the vast investment in bringing them in, raising them up, and to lose both the past and future at the "wrong time"...astronomically heartbreaking. Never used to cry during movies when a child is lost, now I do every time.
I agree, and often (if not usually) the generalized formulation is simply a wrapper around personal experience.

At the same time, to share personal experience directly can make one vulnerable, so adding a layer of indirection is understandable.
Just remember: If the product is free, then you are the product.

I'm sure Elon will provide AI-generated weather reports. Someday. Might be from Mars, but we won't have to deal with the smallest uniformed service.
Yep. NOAA is the source of all the weather data that all of your weather apps and TV stations use.
If the user just uses regen braking, they are never hitting their brake when they are moving. You would have to work it somehow into the regen, but the stopping curves are completely different for the two, so you would probably wind up surprising the driver if you decided to arbitrarily engage the brake rather than use regen.

Your assumption is that regen and braking have the same behavior and are interchangeable, but I don't think that's the case beyond both of them being used to stop.
> each person sees only a small segment of it. It will be overdone to some and novel to others.

You've said concisely what I just spent an hour saying verbosely: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43019507.
From the AP article:

> “It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism,” Pace said in a statement. “Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment.”

It certainly has a chilling effect, if the president can apply arbitrary limitations on news agencies just because they refuse to comply with specific naming orders.
At the heart of this is a very greedy racket:- court reporters who 'own' the copyright to every word spoken by anyone in court that they transcribe to a transcript that they do not own the source to (judges/witnesses/lawyers/defendants in truth own it) They then milk huge fees for these transcripts and limit use/access/derivative works with huge fees.
An AI verbatim transcriber would up end them, so that will be prevented, as will anything that shakes the tree.
You can delete cards if you review a card, flip the back and click the trashcan icon on the upper left hand side.

Ideally users are relying on the spaced repetition algorithm and should see cards they know less frequently rather than removing them from their deck.
HN (or users?) seem to allow these kind of stories when they swing one way. Hence why they let the DOGE kid article and suppressed the A16z Daniel Penny story.
> That, plus the fact that Ross was a directly competing product, is what I see as really driving this decision.

The "competing product" thing is probably the most extreme part of this opinion.

The most important fair use factor is if the use competes with the original work, but this is generally implied to be directly competes, i.e. if you translate someone else's book from English to French and want to sell the translation, the translation is going to be in direct competition for sales to people who speak both English and French. The customer is going to use the copy claiming fair use as a direct substitute for the original work, instead of buying it.

This court is trying to extend that to anything downstream from it, which seems crazy. For example, "multiple copies for classroom use" is one of the explicit examples of fair use from the copyright statute, but schools are obviously teaching people intending to go into competition with the original author, and in general the idea that you can't read something if you ever intend to write something to sell in competition with it seems absurd and in contradiction to the common practices in reverse engineering.

But this is also a district court opinion that isn't even binding on other courts, so we'll see what happens if it gets appealed.
> License what? Every available copyrighted work? Even getting a tiny fraction is not practical.

Maybe the strategy is something like this:

1) Survive long enough/get enough users that killing the generative AI industry is politically infeasible.

2) Negotiate a compromise similar to the compulsory mechanical royalty system used in the music business to “compensate” the rights holders whose content is used to train the models

The biggest AI companies could even run the enforcement cartels ala BMI/ASCAP to compute and collect royalties owed.

If you take this to its logical conclusion, the AI companies wouldn’t have to pre-license anything, and would just pay out all the royalties to the biggest rights holders (more or less what happens in the music industry) on the basis that figuring out what IP went into what model output is just too hard, so instead they just agree to distribute it to whomever is on the New York Times best seller list at any given moment.
Without other groups it's racism. That reminds me my last job. On my question why I'm getting spam from some group I wasn't interested in they responded like "because we are sending it to everyone, ha-ha". Typical wokes.
A lot of people in community are weary of benchmarks for this exact reason.
Tesla would be fucked without tariffs.
I'm sure there was a technical mistake on the doc's end! But it's because UHC wants absolutely everyone to make 'mistakes' constantly, because every mistake delays or avoids a payment. Even a delayed payment moves an expense forward, maybe even into a new period, while the revenues are always captured promptly when your employer pays your premium. So, UHC's processes are purposely designed to add as much uncertainty and to be as easy as possible to derail.

The system insurance companies designed works something like this:

Provider: Enters patient ID, procedure code, date, etc. into the insurance billing system.

Insurance company: Applies an automated check to find reasons why this claim might be denied. For example: "Our records show that you amputated her right arm yesterday, so we can't pay for wrist surgery with a date of today" or "automatically deny all claims for XXXXXX as 'not medically necessary' and wait for them to appeal by following a separate process". If it finds any reasons, claim is denied. Some limited info is sent to the provider or patient, usually with a lot of latency.

Doctor or Patient: Must play a game with the insurance company to figure out (1) why insurance company thinks [insert wrong belief] (2) how to satisfactorily prove to them otherwise and (3) why despite after solving 1 and 2, the claim is still showing as denied. Providers are overwhelmed with hundreds of instances of this at all times, so they can't always handle doing this for you, and patients often lack the documentation, medical knowledge, and legal definitions in the policy, to be able to advocate for themselves.

If it were designed by anyone other than a bunch of ghouls looking to profit off killing people, there would be good ways to asynchronously but promptly enumerate and solve the problems that prevent claims from being paid. This would be tricky to build, but not impossible if the parties involved wanted to cure disease and save lives more than they wanted to be rich.

What about the use of donkeys is strange? I've been hearing a lot of ridicule surrounding this the last few days and I don't really get it. Russian army seems to do a lot of weird, inefficient, or baffling things but why are donkeys a sticking point?

US army also used donkeys in places where vehicles were inconvenient in Afghanistan and DARPA spent millions on developing a robotic donkey replacement for those kind of conditions that ultimately failed to be a replacement for the real thing.

At some point it starts to feel like poor propaganda, this conflict has spawned a number of cases of ridicule along the lines of "when their side does X it's because they're too poor/stupid/corrupt to do any different, but when we do X it's because we're clever/ingenious/thrifty". It's borderline absurd to see people falling for the same kind of propaganda they're railing against.
Exceptions to rules cause mental overhead and maintenance headaches. Why should `echo` be the single solitary tool that responds differently to invocation with `--help`?
The second law of thermodynamics comes in handy. And Stefan Boltzmann already thought about this, too :)

That given, #2 results in "the lowest temperature to minimize the rate of heat loss is equal the outside temperature. Equilibrium."

It makes sense to turn off the heat when going out of house. In the that time, the house loose energy and it makes sense not to spend more energy to heat & keep a certain temperature. But the house will lose in one way or another anyway, so pulling the temps down makes totally sense.
It was a joke about blurriness. To extend the joke, be glad it doesn't flicker and shimmer.

The “as” does a lot of work in the headline: hints causation but doesn’t say it (because it can’t!)
Additionally if all you're doing is simple tagging and classification, you can probably get away with a significantly smaller model (sub 14b parameter model) like Mistral 7b or Qwen 14b.
I think it's pretty clear you have never worked on fraud protections or bot detections, otherwise you'd understand the struggles of supporting many environments with a single solution, you already have an opinion on this and by the way your messages are typed, it doesn't seem like any rational will change your ideas.

This is the internet and everybody is a field expert the moment they want to win an argument, best of luck with that.
1,700+ commits. 99.9% AI-generated code, 100% directed by a human. The rules were simple but brutal: every bug had to be fixed by the AI, every feature built by it. Even a 5-minute fix for a human turned into hours of guiding the AI with detailed prompts. As the project grew, the AI began losing track of context—small tweaks turned into major headaches. One misstep and entire sections of code would break, forcing even more precise instructions. Prompt engineering became an art. Think of it like guiding a dimwitted intern: be painfully specific, assume zero context, and verify every output. Hilarious screenshots and takeaways in the article.
There are a lot of small decaying cities in the US, and I find them fascinating. When I travel (which is frequent) I avoid major highways just so I can see more of them. It's not country-specific and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this.
FWIW, there are plenty of backchannels through which discussions about this stuff can be had that aren't the public mailing list. My limited understanding is that those discussions have in fact taken place and the R4L people aren't concerned about things working out eventually.

However, I do wish he would say something publicly, so that the internet peanut gallery doesn't fill the void with negativity. It doesn't exactly help attract more interest in the project.
I think that would be these eye implants[1].

Sure they can. o3-mini can do web searches, which puts it far ahead of o1 if you require current information. You can also tell it to go read a particular paper from just the rough name.
Did the path between emission and reception change the photon? Or did it change our relation to the photon?

A simpler case of the latter is uncontroversial: If you move quickly away from a photon emitter, you will detect red-shifted photons.

Clearly, the photons didn't change, only our relation to them.

Energy, like everything else, is relative and appears to have different quantities in different situations. Strange as that seems, given conservation of energy still holds.

But energy, just like space-time, is not "Euclidean".
At my house, they crash into the windows because they are so damn aggressive. They see themselves in the reflection and attack the other bird. They shat all over my cars this year because they kept seeing themselves in the side view mirrors. Then shat all over the back of my car because it has a chrome bumper. I have watched robins sit on the side of my car for an hour just attacking the sideview mirror over and over. They regularly crash into the one window in my house that has a tree next to it, because they land in the branches, then decide to attack the other bird in the reflection. They will sit there for hours doing this until they finally hit the window hard enough to scare themselves off.
I understand the point of specialisation/efficiency etc. The concern I have is that of conflicting motives.

A person who builds their own house will care about what they built.
A specialised team will care to get paid and know all the corners to cut to get the job done to the minimum standard.

What kind of house do you want? One built robustly with care? Or one built to minimum standard? Not everyone wants minimum standard.
It's more the sanctions than the tariffs.
