Here's the part you elided:

That makes it quite clear whether or not I'm missing "intent".

I really doubt Brave will be able to support manifest v2 for long after chromium deletes that part of the codebase. Brave does not have the resources to maintain a fork in perpetuity. They are really just a reskin with a marketing team (privacy conscious individuals being the mark).

If you want to try agentic parsing we added support for sonnet-3.7 agentic parse and gemini 2.0 in llamaParse. cloud.llamaindex.ai/parse (select advanced options / parse with agent then a model)

However this come at a high cost in token and latency, but result in way better parse quality. Hopefully with new model this can be improved.
Why would they want to eliminate that? Altman said that hallucinations are how LLMs express creativity.
Can confirm. I've been on both sides of that fence.

I worked on a product about a decade ago which had an unnecessarily complicated custom layout system written in javascript. CSS was missing a lot of features at the time, so we figured we'd roll our own. It was crazy complicated - and it had all these weird easy to reproduce bugs.

For fun, some pesky kid on twitter took our insanely layout system and reimplemented 95% of it in a couple hundred lines of (almost) pure CSS. At a glance, it looked identical to our product - but the code was small, clean and fast. The link got passed around the office. It was amazing how many reasons people had to dismiss it. "Ah, see - it doesn't even do this weird custom behaviour we have!" or "Well and good in chrome - but it doesn't work properly on IE8!" and so on. I've never seen a better example of motivated reasoning, before or since.

What we should have done is reach out and offer that kid a job.

The smartest programmer on your team isn't as smart as the smartest programmer on the internet.
The product is good, but there’s a lot of telemetry that I was not comfortable with given that search bar like those may see very sensitive information.

Brave does not need ublock origin, and brave adblock is independent of manifest v2/3.

They implement compatible features in the browser itself.
Seems like Microsoft is just taking whatever Chromium releases and repackages it to show more ads and to make Bing the default search engine. In this case, it's just dropping support for Manifest V2 extensions, such as uBlock Origin, and moving to Manifest V3, which does not support extensions intercepting and blocking requests using blockingWebRequest.

Just three days ago, Mozilla reiterated [1] that Firefox would continue to support Manifest V2 alongside Manifest V3. So if you want a better web experience with uBlock Origin, Firefox is your only choice (or use Firefox forks that support it). While you're at it, note that "uBlock Origin works best on Firefox".

Or, the model is nowhere as expensive as in the api pricing and they want to pump the user value of their pro subscription artificially?
we're not the biggest believers in 'agentic' parsing! we definitely do believe there's a specific role for LLMs in the data ingestion pipeline, but this occurs more when bar graphs/charts/figures -> structured markdown.

Show HN: Building the First Integrated Reasoning Framework (IRF)
Suada is an advanced thinking layer (Integrated Reasoning Framework) for agents to know more about the users they serve.

It was born out of frustration. We started off building an agent for businesses but quickly came to the realisation that getting data from integrations in a structured format that AI would understand and more importantly analyzing that data was a much bigger task than we had initially thought.

Developers can use Suada to drop in auth and collect user data from a selection of platforms on their behalf. Our goal is relevancy when complexity is unavoidable. While I'm sure we're all maxi's that agentic workforces are coming, we're focused on getting that foundation right first.

"Is my team aligned this week?" might pull from Notion, Linear and Slack.

We're building integrations for business workspaces (e.g. CRMs, analytics software)... but also builder integrations (e.g. flightradar, ads libraries).
If you're not blocking your mozilla process from accessing firefox.com, mozilla.com/.org, and mozgcp.net, as well as turning telemetry settings off after every update and keeping a tight policy.json file - then firefox is just as bad as Edge or Chrome re: tracking

Also they actively take down extensions that unfuck websites without notice

Nice picture-in-picture implementation tho
I just moved my main browser on Android to Edge using the uBlock Origin installation trick. It will not have a happy ending as I hoped. I will consider moving away from Edge on my PC now.

Sadly, I still cannot add custom filters to uBlock Lite.
They implement ublock origin compatible adblocking in the browser, not as an extension. Manifest v2/3 is irrelevant to brave's adblock capabilities.

Can't say i have big problems using Edge in combination with a pihole, but i do agree that Firefox with the very nice plugins like uBlock origin does look so much better.

But how much goes into firefox development? Maybe 2% of revenue like with Linux Fiundation and Linux kernel?

The Poisson process is a random distribution. Just because its average is 1.1 per minute doesn't mean you can't have 2 people show up at virtually the same time, it's just pretty rare. Or there's like a 10^-100 chance a million people show up at the same second, etc etc. You'll always have some nonzero average queuing time if you calculate it across the whole distribution for that reason.

These days most web apps aren’t written to take advantage of the browser’s built-in tab navigation, and unless the dev is a keyboard user, they don’t even think to add it. This is largely the fault of React reinventing everything browsers already have built in, and treating accessibility as an afterthought. Bare metal web apps written in straight-up HTML do have decent tab navigation. They’re still not as snappy as a green terminal app, though. My first summer temp jobs during college were data entry, in the era when you might get a terminal app or a web app, and the old apps invariably had better UX.
RAG and embedding-based search are the same thing AFAIK.

My approach is to stuff as many documents as possible directly into the context. The context windows of frontier models are large enough for my use case of ~20-40 documents. Context windows are 128K tokens for gpt-4o/o1/o3 and 1M for Gemini.

When stuffing all of them in one query isn't possible, split the documents into multiple queries and aggregate the answers.

I've tried RAG. But matching query embeddings to chunk embeddings isn't that straightforward. I noticed that relevant content was missed even with my modest number of documents. Semantic matching using query embeddings is one level above dumb keyword-matching but one level below direct queries to LLMs.

Direct LLM queries seem to perform the best especially when some intermediate understanding is required (like "Based on these documents, infer the industries where X technique may be useful"). That's not possible with simple embedding search unless some of the documents specifically use the umbrella word "industry" or its close synonyms.

Embedding search can probably be improved - like generating a synthetic answer and matching that answer's embedding to chunk embeddings. But I haven't tried such techniques.

This is how the system works. This is a major lesson for all founders.

We have hit that wall almost 2 years ago with gpt-4. There was clearly no scaling as gpt-4 was already decently smart and if you got x2 smarter you’ll be more capable than anything on the market today. All models doing today (R1 and friends; and Claude) are trying to optimize this local maxima toward generating more useful responses (ie: code when it comes to Claude).

AI, at its current form, is a Deep Seek of compressed knowledge in a 30-50gb of interconnected data. I think we’ll look at this as trying to train networks on corpus of data and expecting them to have a hold of reality. Our brains are trained on “reality” which is not the “real” reality as your vision is limited to the visible spectrum. But if you want a network to behave like a human then maybe give him what a human see.

There is also the possibility that there is a physical limit to intelligence. I don’t see any elephants doing PhDs and the smartest of humans are just a small configuration away from insanity.

I have a function f: R -> R such that f(0)=1 and f'(x)=f(x). Is this concealing a parameter? It turns out we can deduce that f(x)=e^x, so f(x)=pow(e,x), so maybe? But wait, is pow concealing another parameter? Indeed, exponentiation is just (a completion over) repeated multiplication; multiplication is repeated addition, and addition repeated succesorship. It's straightforward to show that pow(x,y)=f(2,x,y) where f(n,x,y) encodes said hierarchy. But wait! f is a function, which is a set of 2-tuples, so we have another "hidden" parameter. It's also essentially part of Fast growing hierarchy[0] functions. Or what if we extend to complex numbers? Is the imaginary axis degree of freedom another hidden parameter?

Et cetera ad infinitum...

So, if you want to say that sqrt(x) has a hidden parameter, you're just making an arbitrary claim unless you accept it is concealing an unbounded number of hidden parameters.

Or we can just do the obvious thing and say that sqrt(x) has one parameter.
