Article summary:
“ Irving V. Link spent 42 years at the Beverly Hills Hotel pool, where his meticulous daily routine of breakfast, sunbathing, and gin rummy became legendary. He was admired by hotel staff and Hollywood figures alike, symbolizing the timeless charm of a bygone era in Los Angeles. His life was deeply intertwined with the hotel’s evolution, reflecting the glamour of old Hollywood and the shifting dynamics of its clientele. The hotel’s closure by the Sultan of Brunei for renovations disrupted his routine and marked the end of an era. Link’s personal narrative weaves together memories of luxury, business intrigue, and cultural transformation. Ultimately, his story is a poignant meditation on the inevitability of change and the enduring power of tradition.”
Inequality continues to rise rapidly. Everyone but the most well off living conditions continue to decline. The wealthy elite need to make stories that distract people from this problem. So they will blame immigrants and "bloated inefficient governments" for the problem. And will push anti-immigration and "personal liberty" and "more free markets" as the solution.

Instead of the obvious problem that Inequality is rising and we need to substantially raise taxes on the rich and reduce them for everyone else to close the runaway gap.
I cancelled my subscription and moved on with my life. I get my dose of economic centrism from the Economist.

Same with leaving the shithole that is "X," but slightly less inconvenient.
It's one thing to go after Disney as a whole but going after one guy specifically feels like a whole different level of evil.
Hate to break it to you, but "from each according to their abilities and to each according to their needs" has been stacking far, far more bodies over the past ~125 years.
Your post scarcity world doesn't exist.
First party runtime types would be nice, but zod has become pretty much the standard answer for projects that need it. Not complicated.
You actually have a confidence measure for your friend advice. I’d trust a mechanic friend if he says I should have someone take a look at my car, or my librarian friend when he recommends a few books. Not everyone tell a lie and the truth in the same breath. And there’s the quantifier like “I think…”, “I believe…”, “Maybe…”

An important feature of WhatsApp is that it lets you communicate with different people, who each have different pre-existing contexts and roles for you. Role selection is one of the possible solutions proposed in the article.
> We do not USE the thing we're building by and large.

Yes, thankyou, that's quite obvious judging by the quality of most software.

It really is amazing how bad most software made for non-developers is. Like, as software engineers, we understand how essential version control is. We made git and github for ourselves. But nobody has bothered building that functionality for people who edit word documents all day. Or people who edit video, or animators, or 3d modellers, or 100 different jobs. Word and google docs have track changes. But they don't let you bounce between branches or make pull requests. You usually can't time travel, or bisect, or git blame, or any of the other things we take for granted. My partner works in a CMS all day at work. Every change she makes is pushed directly to production. There's no review process. No staging. No testing. No change control or rollback. If anyone messes something up, they get blamed for "taking down the app". As a software engineer, I look on in horror.

I believe the more cognitive distance there is between 20-something silicon valley tech bros and your particular use case, the worse your software is going to be. If you're a manchild living in san francisco who can't be bothered driving, doing your laundry or shopping for groceries, you're in good hands. There is a startup that will solve your problem! But the further from that "ideal" you get, the worse. Here in Melbourne, I can't use my iphone to pay for public transit. Google maps couldn't really handle roundabouts (traffic circles) for a decade and change. (I guess they don't have those in California). Unicode support was only added recently because of Emoji. Until then, a huge amount of software butchered non-english text. I shudder to think how badly most software probably handles right to left languages. And the list goes on and on.
Might as well be, it’s not the doing of a single party but it’s pretty much just become the lever of a few at this point, people simply don’t matter unless they are able and willing to pay for representation

I’m whatever about it though, will be interesting to watch crumble
If you can handle the consumer load in the region without local plants, maybe? That would still only be a 90% test because you can't completely blackout a region for testing purposes, consumers would get angry.
I wonder if there is some sort of breach of fiduciary duty or securities fraud claim here.

This move seems likely to alienate subscribers (both for potentially being against their ideology, and more importantly, for implying lack of freedom of expression that customers would demand from a newspaper). It is also likely to lose them talent. The move seems to benefit bezos personally by using the newspaper as a mouthpiece, even if the newspaper itself as a business is damaged in the process.
Seeing Bezos advocate for free markers is a massive dissonance, until I remind myself that he hasn't said what they should be free of. Bezos would like to be free to run competition out of town, force brutal terms on suppliers, all that sort of thing.
The timer you linked is more expensive than my kitchen Alexa device that's exclusively a timer.
All the other circumstances. Your hypothetical is the exception proving the rule.
Just to be clear, the long video you link to essentially saying lack of discoverability is an intentional misfeature of social media.

Which is to say that the host and OP agree lack of discoverability is a problem (Watons just views it as maliciously inserted problem). And so your "No" involves a bit of misrepresentation...
How does producing tokens in parallel not just result in completely incoherent output?
Cancelled mine recently, saved hundreds already by not buying dumb stuff I don't actually need on there.
Out of curiosity, could the learnings/toolings from this project have real improvements to more "practical" TypeScript?
It’s an interesting idea, but still way too unreliable to use in production IMO. When a traditional OCR model can’t read the text, it’ll output gibberish with low confidence; when a VLM can’t read the text, it’ll output something confidently made up, and it has no way to report confidence. (You can ask it to, but the number will itself be made up.)

I tried using a VLM to recognize handwritten text in genealogical sources, and it made up names and dates that sort of fit the vibe of the document when it couldn’t read the text! They sounded right for the ethnicity and time period but were entirely fake. There’s no way to ground the model using the source text when the model is your OCR.
iMac G4(K)
Your prompt is non-sense. Maybe try to form your thoughts a bit better and try again?
Not only are those jobs relatively rare, but they also require a lot of hardware and a lot of power. Both of those are going to be in short supply. (Solar power requires sunlight, and the target locations are deliberately in shadow.)
And again I ask: why is my hypothetical the exception proving the rule while their hypothetical is sufficient to prove that they're right?

Make an argument in favor of regulated media producing better outcomes or don't, but all I've seen here so far is you and OP asserting a dogma.
The Echo Clock is really excellent in my kitchen - anyone in the kitchen can visually see how much time is left on multiple timers.

I'd switch to a comparable Siri or Home Assistant clock if such a product was available.
Carbon capture and storage strategies 'could widen inequalities'
Tech and the Climate Crisis
The idea of a free market should be dirty. Free markets are not a good thing for anyone but select capitalists. People benefit from regulated markets, where excesses and foul play are curbed for the public benefit. Bezos is advocating for free market ideas because he wants to run a monopoly, so he benefits directly from this position. For him it’s not idealism but pragmatism. For us it’s a nightmare position that will end in higher prices, worse service, worse working conditions, and less competition.

> I guess it remains to be seen just what kind of views they end up pushing, rather than what he says he wants to push :P

This is my single most important heuristic for filtering news. Facts in the present and the past matter. Predictions about the future have very little value.

Jon Stewart said it better. This whole show is 10/10 but linking to the most relevant timestamp: https://youtu.be/CuDcTyCq8nc?si=eiVXnJkfMxPGPv5k&t=812
If I squint really hard, I can just about see where the goalposts were six months ago before you ran off with them
Maybe I’m being greedy but is it possible to have a vLLM detect when a portion is an image? I want to convert some handwritten notes into markdown but some portion are diagrams. I want the vLLM to extract the diagrams to embed into the markdown output
I am at the same time both amazed and utterly unsurprised that this was possible, given all the hullaballoo about TypeScript's type system being Turing complete. Having the grit to actually go through with it though? Bravo.
I agree – I'll need to look this up myself, but I'd love to know what his self-reflection on his annoyance involved: I admit that I still need to do the same to learn restraint during disagreements with new collaborators, that I haven't had the experience to feel trust with yet. My anger's stopped me from productively working in informal standardization efforts within my org.

Happy to see the mention of Kotlin's memory safety features here; goes a bit beyond Java with its null safety, encouragement of immutability and smart casting.
if simping is bad doesnt that mean polynomial time complexity would be the best?
To find out about slash commands, you should type "/help". Of course, you'd only know about the "/help" slash command if you were already at least a bit familiar with slash commands. It is a conundrum.

Implying any publication with a financier/owner and an editorial staff doesn't always and necessarily present the views of those who control it...?

Was anyone genuinely under th delusion that it was any different when it was Bezos' benefit to placate the progressives?
C++26: no more undefined behaviour in lexing
This is the main focus of VLM Run and typed extraction more generally. If you provide proper type constraints (e.g. with Pydantic) you can dramatically reduce the surface area for hallucination. Then there's actually fine-tuning on your dataset (we're working on this) to push accuracy beyond what you get from an unspecialized frontier model.
When he says "free markets," what he means is "unrestrained oligarchy."
> Otherwise I can literally go and start up a newsletter pushing free market views and it'll eventually overtake the competition if they persist in being stupid and advancing stupid views.

...or so one would hope. The fact that Fox News had to go back to supporting Trump because they were losing people to Newsmax unfortunately seems to be a counterexample.

> Got it. So you are just affirming the same kind of exogenous force your socialist interlocutors would, except its the colonial Spanish/Portuguese, not the United States? And when you spoke of attitude and preference above, you meant specifically those of these colonizers?

No, you've misunderstood me. There is no exogenous force. South America is itself a product of Iberian colonialism. You could, I suppose, say that South America did not have problems with ineffective governance prior to the arrival of the Iberians. This is somewhat dubious, though, because those governance structures look nothing like our own. The Aztecs were probably effective governors during the time that they ruled, but would anyone really prefer to live in a world where they had won?

People who live in impoverished countries create these narratives to avoid acknowledging their collective failures. There are plenty of examples of countries that have been colonized which are today completely peaceable, as well as countries that have never been colonized which are nonetheless comparatively unstable.

South Americans are particularly susceptible to these narratives. It is usually associated with leftist ideas surrounding decolonialism, but this is by no means exclusive - plenty of conservatives will blame the gringo for problems that are squarely within the realm of their control (at least insofar as anything can be "within our control," but the premise that such a culpability exists is already accepted by anyone arguing that "It's all the Americans' fault.").

> you did in your reply precisely show how and why one might compare cocaine to alcohol.

Petro's exact words were: "La cocaína es ilegal porque la hacen en América Latina, no porque sea más mala que el whisky." This is manifestly not the case. The sort of blase attitude he takes towards a substance that has done so much to destroy his country is emblematic of the civic incompetence I alluded to.
This is why I'm so bullish on Typescript. The type system is so good and expressive that you want to use it, but it doesn't keep you from using interfaces and methods because some complicated vendored type can't be satisfied.

For eg., Bug type attack is super effective against Poison type in Gen 1 but not very effective in Gen 2 and onnwards. But Claude keeps bringing Nidoran into Weedle/Caterpie.
Search engines don't always turn up prior art the way you'd like. Simple jargon discrepancies can cause a lot of mischief. Though I'm sure a case could be made about it being confirmation bias. It's hard to get people to search in earnest for bad news. If it's not in your face they declare absence of evidence as evidence of absence.
Can you actually run your own Dynamicland? I couldn’t find any info about that easily on their website
Do you plan to use AMSC as a vendor?
ChatGPT's code interpreter is mostly used as a calculator / graphing calculator. It can run arbitrary Python code, but it is limited in practice because it can't (e.g.) make external web requests or install arbitrary packages.

This is meant to be usable for those use cases, but also to allow apps/agents to make API requests, load data from various sources, etc. It can also run in a company's cloud account, for compliance situations where they are running inference on their cloud account and want a ChatGPT-like code interpreter where data never leaves their VPC.
That's essentially what an embedding model is - a smaller, faster model that's good at finding information quickly. Then you feed that to a larger, more powerful reasoning model to synthesize and you've invented RAG.
Is their a paper / technical report out on this?
I tend to know people on chat are human and therefore what they’re likely capable of and not capable of.

And I’m not expected to use them as a tool. By contrast I can probably pick up any Ryobi power tool that I’ve never seen before and work out how to make it do its thing, and probably what its purpose is
Yeah. I’d bet the farm on the % of so-called ‘libertarians’ not wanting you to change your gender marker as being…quite high. Let alone crony capitalists.
You know I kinda want to but more like in Star Trek. Interconnected between voice commands, terminals and screens. The problem is the fact that we won’t get a well integrated AI. The best possibility has probably apple because they usually get the interconnections between their products right… but they have other problems in regards to AI.
In europe sure, in the US most of freight rail isn't and companies operating those rail roads don't want to spend money on eletrifying railroads.

Currently they're trying to gas light us that hydrogen-hybrid locomotives are the futures (why not use diesel-hybrid locomotives that already exist is a mistery)
Can you be more specific? Do you mean the history or the content?
Nope, Elixir for backend.

We need the BEAM VM's guarantees, not yesterday but like 20 years ago, everywhere. The language itself does not matter. But we need that runtime's guarantees!
Lyapunov is calling and wants his terminology back.
Not sure if I missed it, but did anyone look into Knuth's volume 3 to see if it shows up there ? Don't have my copy handy
I have been entertaining myself a bit lately by thinking about the ways in which some improvements to a design are very, very interesting to people when it takes 1.2 machines to do a task, not worth paying attention to when it's 6 machines to do the task, and suddenly very interesting again when it's 120 machines to do the task. There's that weird saddle point in the middle where I cannot get anyone else interested in my 20% resource improvements. It's just crickets.
Or how about immigrant rights, what with the DoJ going after AOC for hosting a webinar?
Often underappreciated detail when it comes to stereoscopic 3D is that the image produced is not actually fully 3D still.

Even with just a single eye, it is possible to see depth: this would be via monocular depth cues, such as depth of field.

If you ever wondered why 3D visuals, no matter how technically advanced, never quite felt right, this is likely the culprit. When your eyes adapt to the stereo 3D cues, the monocular cues are lost and vice versa. There are some VR technologies that do hope to achieve both at the same time using eye (and iris?) tracking, but I haven't been following the topic for a while. It's essentially a quest for a lightfield display.

This just seems like censorship by intimidation, not “fighting antisemitism and anti-Zionism”.

Way too many folks think being an internet bully is advocacy…

It sounds like they’re using this as a fund raising effort too, seems even worse.

“With your donation you could shame 13 people online a week who disagree with you.”
It's a publicity stunt by anthropic (Claude plays Pokémon).

Obviously they are going to show off their LLM
These seem to mostly be a human problem.

Out of the large number of things you can do, most likely you're only consciously aware of a small number of them, and even among those, you're fairly likely to fall back on doing the things you've done before.

You could potentially do something new, something you haven't even considered doing that's wildly out of character, there's any number of such things you could do, but most likely you won't, you'll follow your routines and do the same proven things over and over again.

You Can Just Do Things (TM), sure, but first you need to have the idea of doing them. That's the difficult hard part, fishing an interesting idea out of the dizzying expanse of possibilities.

"Use lisp for backend" lol
Interesting way to describe it. Some caveats I forgot to mention: To actually make something happen I had to take 4.5 grams of dried soaked in OJ swallowed down. Granted I was on these evil little shits called antidepressants; fun fact: Big Pharma does not publish instructions for GETTING OFF of antidepressants.

Post AT's I could get the red pill effect in as little as 1/4 of a gram. Still no hallucinations but.. when I took that HERO dose to overcome the meds.. that walk in the forest did pop out at me. That was what I called sharper but yeah, it popped.
They were requesting it from Amazon, not from the neighbor. And it absolutely is wrong (weird is not a word I would use to describe police using their power unscrupulously) to take data that you know is irrelevant.
Shouldn’t the interactive mode be called `antilang lper`?
Current motto of the internet: Grab it while it's hot, enjoy it while it lasts.
You did a 'Show HN' about the product in the past. Are you calling your own marketing dumb?
No, I was referring to dynamite and to the startup at the center of this controversy.
200,000 units is a far cry from just a 'minor hit' - congratulations!

During the project, what was the biggest instinct you had that was ultimately validated by its success, but still surprised you? What was a lesson you learned that you didn't expect? How was working with a publisher? What did they do right and what did they do wrong?
"The only time someone can control all the media is if the market is highly regulated."

That's not true at all. Someone can simply buy all the media, and the free market will not correct that as long as that person has the wealth to persist.

The free market has a large number of failure modes, as evidenced by the fact that every free market in the world has some regulations of some sort. Antitrust foremost among them. Pretending it does not is just adherence to dogma.
