The solution to this problem is to make it not work. If there are various technological developments in the world that do and don't have porn, and if such were cases that the common denominator of failures were lack of smoothly graduated spectrum of contents without disruption from casual family safe content to hardcore pornography, the problem will correct itself.

Actually, it will happen naturally and eventually. Just look at Apple Vision Pro which still don't have VRChat support, and compare how deeply DOA it has been to other VR headsets that are clearly nowhere near as important. Or "Metaverse" that were all explicitly SFW.

This effect can even be seen in the Apple App Store itself. Who uses App Store? You flow into App Store through porn-enabled platforms, such as web or social media. No one browses App Store as a content. What does it not have? Pornography.
IMHO we'd be better off focusing on policies that allow computers to be used on standardized exams. Hardly anybody uses a calculator in a real job, people at desks use computers, and even people who have to do calculations in a field environment use ruggedized tablets. Rather than working on revamping obsolete technology we should work on a way to make a computer acceptable to use on an exam in a way that addresses cheating concerns.

But if you really wanted to keep using a calculator, you should check out the HP Prime, Casio Prizm, or TI-Nspire series. The HP Prime has RPN, and all of these lines have color touch screens and a bunch of modern features. The TI-84 is not the pinnacle of technology, it is popular only because it is an exam-acceptable and an old standard format that people are used to.

Same experience here: On AI Studio, this is easily one of the strongest models I have used, including when compared to proprietary LLMs.

But ollama and openwebui performance is very bad, even when running the FP16 version. I also tried to mirror some of AI studio settings (temp 1 and top p 0.95) but couldn't get it to produce anything useful.

I suspect there's some bug in the ollama releases (possibly wrong conversation delimiters?). If this is fixed, I will definitely start using Gemma 3 27b as my main model.
China-EU can follow the coast. It isn't unreasonable to just stop at a port every night. You can put the crew up in a hotel thus saving needing beds for everyone, and they can enjoy whatever meals they want. This will make the trip take 3x longer though, which is a very significant disadvantage, but if electric energy is enough cheaper they will go for it. Most things going via sea are not time sensitive, but the crew still needs to be paid along with the ship mortgage. China-US could do the same, but the trip is about 10x longer (I didn't bother to look this up) - even with free electric I'm not sure if it is worth it.

There are islands like Hawaii where the above is not possible though so we still need something else.

As per the technical report, every 5 layers you have a global attention layer. The global attention layer during training can have as many as a 128k context length during training (though I understand it is usually 32k).

Q. When you are training with a context length of 128k, is the attention in the global layers dense or sparse ?

If dense, would the attention memory requirement here would be O(n^2) where n is 128k for each global layer ?

> Then they become gatekeepers, refusing to allow anything on their platform unless it conforms to their ideal vision

As the owner of a platform team, this very common attitude of platform teams kills me. Yes, we have a long-term vision that we're working towards, but our main goals are two accelerate developers AND produce more robust systems. Outside of totally egregious violations of company standards, my team is expected to focus on how to get things done. That means being flexible, working side-by-side with other teams, etc. to make sure that a) they're able to deliver what they need and b) we help them build it in such a way that it can eventually be aligned with our utopian long-term vision.

> Deny what results?

The results of software written in languages with robust type systems. Having mathematical guarantees that your program is correct is a good place to be, but climbing the mountain to get there is, well...

> Do you have some kind of formal demonstration that they are impossible to use outside of those "certain narrow tasks" (unknown)? Or do you have proof that NOBODY use them for more than those "certain narrow tasks"?

See, now you're starting to understand exactly why these languages are intractable. But perhaps we can dumb things down to my mere mortal level: Why don't you use those languages for regular programming tasks?

> To "I know better than a lot of developers how to test"

How, exactly, did you reach that conclusion? You don't have to be good at something to recognize when people are bad at something.

> but it eliminates the need for a whole suit of smaller tests that would be necessary in less powerful languages

What kind of small tests are you envisioning?

Furthermore, even if we grant that statement as being true for the sake of discussion, there is still the problem that the primary intent of tests is to offer documentation. That the documentation is self-validating is the reason you're not writing it in Microsoft Word instead, but that is really a secondary benefit.

If you defer to the type system then you're moving some, but not all, of the documentation into the type system, fragmenting the information. Is that fair to other developers? In reality, you're going to want to write the tests anyway for the sake of consistency and completeness. A programmer needs to deliver something that works, of course, but also something that does a good job of communicating to other developers what is going on. Programming is decidedly not a solo activity.

Sure, in an ideal world you could document the entire program in the type system, but the languages people normally use simply don't have what it takes to enable that. They lean on testing instead. Worse is better, I suppose.

> Make an example test that "incidentally tests things like the shape" in C#, please.

We should probably talk about my fee structure first. I don't want you coming back crying that it was too much when I send you the bill for the work performed.

That said, under my professional duty to act your interest, I expect you would far better served thinking about how you might go about avoiding testing the shape given a random useful test. You don't really need my services here.

> I would not call Rust's type system 'half-assed' tho

It doesn't even have proper support for something basic like value constraints, let alone more advanced concepts. It has more features than Go, but I fail to see how that offers transcendence beyond half-assery. I'll grant you that it is less half-assed, just as I did earlier.

I think that early in development you should be able to spam a lot of hypothesis and quickly test them and check how people interact with your software. Whether your software makes sense is more important than whether it's fast.

People are also highly unpredictable, so it is usually a matter of trial and error, very often their feedback may completely erase wide sets of assumptions you were building your product around.

It's borderline impossible to do it on mature product, but rewriting mature product to something faster is not borderline impossible - it's just very hard.

Note that it doesn't apply if you just program something in accordance from an rfc where everything is predefined.

I agree and think the way forward is computer simulation. Figure out a simulation equivalent of a neuron and put a lot together and see how well the simulated brain portion matches the real thing. That hasn't really been possible due to lack capability of computer power but we are getting to where it could be. They have of course done stuff with "artificial neural networks" of the ChatGPT type but those are very far from biology.

No, that is not the issue here - this is not about which sites I frequent but about whether the browser I use to do so tries to keep me from going there. The content of those sites can be influenced by advertising (which I rigorously block, no exceptions) but the browser as of yet does not attempt to keep me from visiting site A nor does it change its contents (other than by means of the content blocker which I have control over) to match some ideological goal. An EU-financed browser could end up doing these things which is why I do not want the EU to get involved in this way.

The hardware part fascinates me more. Has anyone fancied building a X-bit game console drawing schematics?

I guess there are two ways to do it. One is to use an FPGA board, but you would need to build a soft core. The other is to buy physical components (CPU, clocks, resistors, capacitors, ROMs/RAMs, etc.) and build a prototype on a few bread boards, in Ben Eater's style, but you need to purchase a lot of components.

I wouldn't go down the emulation route because it is less interesting.

The more I think about it, the more I think it's fun project. One gets to learn so much with it. I have always wondered how the Japanese built those little machines that made -- and still make the world gone crazy, but all those interviews with Nintendo/Sony/Sega people were mostly focused on game directors, producers, designers and artists. There were not even enough with programmers, let alone hardware designers. But I could be wrong. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough or need to learn Japanese.
I don't think it's reputation risk of companies at large, but risk to individual developers. "He worked on porn" is such an easy gut logic for terminations. It's in our human instincts. Everyone know that in guts.

To call that a SpaceX contract is a very myopic view.

I've been using Roombas since shortly after they appeared on the market, but my current one will be my last. In the future, I'll go with another manufacturer's.

The reason is because once they finished addressing the many flaws the product had at the start, iRobot started adding features that I don't want (and removing a couple that I absolutely did want) and dramatically increasing the price when they did so. I can now get much better value for money from almost anyone else.

Same reasons as with no LLM assistance. You would be choosing higher maintenance burden and slower development speed compared to your competitors, though. They will get it out faster, they will have fewer issues, and will be able to find people to support it more easily. Your product may run faster, but theirs will work and be out faster.

You can say that about Wall Street too, or even the oil industry. Lots of smaller players doing smaller mundane things. Logically I know that there are plenty of smaller players doing more neutral or just mundane capitalist things, without world domination plans, but the ethos of the industry has a lot of poison at the top.

I consider it a news aggregator. And with very insightful comments.

I'll open up HN on my phone when I'm waiting around - to see what people are talking about. Since I can't click on the referenced articles (I white-list URLs on my iPhone), I only read the comments and not the referenced article. But even on my desktop where I don't white-list, I rarely open the referenced article. I can get a tl;dr from reading comments even if there wasn't an explicit tl;dr comment.

HN has an awesome and open API so that certainly would be possible to create a weekly summary. And if it existed, I certainly would use it.
I think, an explicit type would make it even easier to grok:

ISet<Author> authorsOfLongBooks =
books
.filter(book => book.pageCount > 1000)
.map(book => book.author)

.toHashset()

Or whatever the equivalent for ISet<Author> is in the respective language. Or IReadonlySet<Author> if the set should be immutable.

Be really careful with this unless you know what you’re doing. Setting up a foreign entity that only collects revenue and pays royalties is a known trick and will be looked at very closely by tax inspectors. Worst case they will consider the foreign entity artificial and tax it as if it was a local company.

My recommendation would be to keep things simple with a local company, and start worrying about complex structures once you have enough revenue for it to make sense.
