I have been throwing it on to our codebase last couple of days.

I found it to be good in reviewing code. I ask it to check if we missed anything. If the diff is sound etc. Works really good. Caught a couple of issues and provided decent feedback.

I asked it to implement new things and.. I’m not sure. Depends on what you are working on I guess but it did “fine” overall. I’d need to provide feedback, ask it to consider some other stuff etc. Overall it was like steering an extremely intelligent junior developer. Not that revolutionary.

I don’t know how people actually utilise these though. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.
> "Open source” is not a feature in most cases.

I think it’s definitely seen as one by people who understand it and what it can prevent. Similar to how many people don’t seem to care (or rather don’t think) about privacy until it dawns on them once a lack of privacy bites them.

But you are right that it’s not really a marketable feature for a wide audience.
Middle finger politics at work, brought about and cheered on by evangelical christians.
Yeah surprised at all the comments saying this was a good experiment. Seems like a huge waste of time.
I live in a town that has some pretty huge military radars (S- and X-band radars), and while they are pointed away from the population - the side lobes still send out a periodic chirp that has the duration of exactly 10.5 seconds, and it is only audible in audio equipment.

And for guys like me, that operate a home recording studio, it really fucking sucks.

Another place I lived, there was this 7 kHz noise that would also get on top of any amplified source - almost drove me insane, and could never figure out what it was. It was some kind of RFI. At first I thought it was something related to the house, maybe a bad ground combined with some switching circuit.

Turned off the mains breaker, and hooked up my guitar to a battery amplifier - same annoying noise was present. Tried shielded cables, tried cables in different lengths from longest to a short 5 cm patch cable, still there. Went outside, and it was present. No distribution transformer, gas meters, or smart meters in general.

Also, back in the day, we'd get Soviet TV coming in waves - meaning that you'd get some periodic interference where your TV would show a combination of both. I think it was due to their huge over-the-horizon radars.

(But I've never had any problems with RFI from cars!)

Great, am i also witnessing whether the proposition that 'fascism is just capitalism in decay' turns out to be true or not?

I think it's great that we're able to hold mozilla to higher standards than google, but I think there's a couple important points to mention:

- Leaving firefox for chrome due to privacy concerns only makes sense if chrome has better privacy, which it definitely doesn't. Recent changes might bring them closer together, but firefox is very far from catching up.

- We should compare firefox to chrome or firefox-based to chromium-based. Browsers like waterfox, pale moon, edge, brave all use source code from one browser but with different privacy, so it doesn't make sense to say "I don't like firefox so I'll use a chromium based one".

- Bonus extra point just because this is hacker news, check out Ladybird, it's making awesome progress!
I agree. This benchmark should have compared the largest ~4 bit quantized model that fits into VRAM, which would be somewhere around 32B for RTX 3090/4090/5090.

For text generation, which is the most important metric, the tokens per second will scale almost linearly with memory bandwidth (936 GB/s, 1008 GB/s and 1792 GB/s respectively), but we might see more interesting results when comparing prompt processing, speculative decoding with various models, vLLM vs llama.cpp vs TGI, prompt length, context length, text type/programming language (actually makes a difference with speculative decoding), cache quantization and sampling methods. Results should also be checked for correctness (perplexity or some benchmark like HumanEval etc.) to make sure that results are not garbage.

If anyone from Phoronix is reading this, this post might be a good point to get you started: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1h5uq43/llamacp...

At time of writing, Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-GGUF with one of the smaller variants for speculative decoding is probably the best local model for most programming tasks, but keep an eye out for any new models. They will probably show up in Bartowksi's "Recommended large models" list, which is also a good place to download quantized models: https://huggingface.co/bartowski

> your customer support lines will be swamped with extremely knowledgeable self-educated

In no other field this combination (self-educated, actually knowledgeable, and calling customer support) seems to exist, so that alone might be worth further study.
There is no such thing as what minimum wage should be "fairly". What is the minimum amount you should be able to pay someone an hour? Surely it is the amount where if you didn't, someone else would pay them more.

There are many people who do jobs worth much less than $32/hour. That min wage would just make them illegal to employ.

>You can't go off mcdonalds sandwiches, and you can't use the economic indicators that ignore food and fuel.

You can't use economic indicators that track volatile commodities either. We use baskets of consumer goods and the inflation tracking is very accurate in short time frames but it becomes harder to compare the further out you get. A TV today is much better than a TV even 10 years ago but it is hardly even the same product as one from 1970.

>I've heard wild numbers from "the dollar is worth 50¢ compared to 20 years ago" to "the dollar has lost 98% of its value in the last N years."

What is wild about that? If you had 50c then and you had invested it in even relatively poorly performing investments it would be worth much more than $1 now.

>I'm not an economist, but I do know my electric bill has been thr exact same dollar amount for 12 years, and I've halved my usage twice in those years. That puts the dollar purchasing power for power at 25% of 2013.

That you are not an economist is obvious.

You are aware that dollars buy more things than energy from your energy provider according to your energy plan, yeah?
That does not change or mitigate the centralization of the mining power to ASIC farms
You come here to write that, but you never bother to tell us why?

The issue with "wokeness" is that the people who adhere to these ideologies tries to shoehorn it into every single aspect of their lives and to every single thing they possibly can. Everything must be political, everything is about what they think matter and so on.

That's why you see companies fail so massively when ruled by people like this. They can't help themselves and alienate people, completely unnecessary, and usually turn supporters into haters.
Time to set up more shortwave radio stations then (assuming that's allowed etc) with different content.
The point is that the control of the computing is done by Centralized ASIC mining farms not individuals
I am a big fan of Lisp SBCL stack traces; even in complex projects I never saw before, I'm almost always able to read, interpret and fix the issue just from that.

Obvious thought that I haven't tested: can you literally achieve this by getting it to answer in Dutch, or training an AI on Dutch text? Plausibly* Dutch-language training data will reflect this cultural difference by virtue of being written primarily by Dutch people.

I am so ready to jump back to Firefox, and yet, still here in 2025, I had to go into about:config and fiddle to have it help me autofill CC details, and it doesn't seem like it will remember the CVV for me, unlike chrome. And about:config isn't available on the mobile version, so I can't get that one to auto-fill any CC fields.
So, given my choice of using Fx and having to remember my CC-details or take out my cred every time I buy something online, or use Chrome and have things just work smoothly, I'm sad to say that I'll stick with Chrome for now.
I don't understand why they can't just make this existing feature work for everyone (it's somehow locked to certain countries that doesn't include Sweden).

And if you think CC info is too sensitive to be remembered by the browser, I consider it a lot less sensitive than many of my passwords which I let it remember.
I am assuming they know something about how to store this stuff in a secure way. And residing in the EU I can't even use my CC at places that haven't implemented 2FA for credit cards, like e.g. godaddy last I checked. I need to sign every transaction with my electronic bank id.

Are there other options out there for Browsers that aren't Fx or Chrome? Which one is actually good (technically as well as ethically)?
If so, that means the ship cannot visit any port, harbor or waterway which requires a locally qualified marine pilot onboard.

It also likely affects international treaties regarding the obligations of the master or officer in charge.

If the computers go down, and with no one aboard, is it considered abandoned? Can anyone claim salvage rights by hooking up a tow?

Currently, "vessels have an international duty to give reasonable assistance to other ships in distress for saving lives" (quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_salvage). How does that duty extend to uncrewed vessels?

I'm sure there are lawyers salivating at the chance to resolve these questions.
It's fairly reasonable to discourage people from using random third-party compiled signal variants though. If you can't figure out building it yourself, using the official one will probably be safer.

After the original Rolls-Royce Ltd. went bust the British government bought up all it's assets and set up a new company in 1971. The automobile division was spun off as a separate company and sold off a few years later.

The engine company is Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc and ain't a subsidiary of anyone. It's the second largest manufacturer of aircraft engines after CFM.

BMW owns the modern car company and licenses the name and logo from the engine company.
The non-car parts are owned by Rolls Royce Holdings listed in the UK.

Presumably all future contracts would stipulate terms that avoid vetos etc.
The more unusual or interesting the data, the more likely they are to have been the result of an error of one kind or another.
Aye, but this is the same as Elixir; it doesn't have full support for OTP and you are expected to use Erlang modules when you want the rest.

>We're currently building very obedient students, not revolutionaries. This is perfect for today’s main goal in the field of creating great assistants and overly compliant helpers. But until we find a way to incentivize them to question their knowledge and propose ideas that potentially go against past training data, they won't give us scientific revolutions yet.

This would definitely be an interesting future. I wonder what it'd do to all of the work in alignment & safety if we started encouraging AIs to go a bit rogue in some domains.
If they had proper reproducible builds it wouldn't be an issue… Also, why do you think fdroid is more likely to backdoor it than they are themselves?

I think there's a few problems with that kind of setup. Quick thoughts:

- Content creators have less discretion on who to allow/block crawling for when there's a middleman index (probably doesn't matter so much now given the flagrant use of content for AI)

- Content recency. The data sizes can get quite huge, and certain pages require updates more often than others so who gets to decide (one user of the index may be interested in a different set of pages vs another)

- Centralised content on the likes of Reddit, who are already aggressively blocking most bots from crawling their content. You'd have to crawl many pages per day (and quite likely end up getting blocked) as generally only a handful of bots get favourable treatment to crawl sites more aggressively.
> What we do know is the original paper by Wakefield that purported the vaccine/autism relationship was fraudulent- contained false information - and more importantly, similar studies that were not fraudulent (to the best of our knowledge) did not replicate the results. And all of that led to a number of trials where a great deal of evidence of Wakefield's actions (which include close to half a million pounds in payments from a vaccine manufacturer) was presented and Wakefield was found guilty.

The Wakefield red herring as usual.

Did anyone mention that the MMR was derived from a vaccine that was banned by the Japanese Govt, and that it was one of the reasons that prompted Wakefield to research it?

There are more than enough papers showing a correlation between vaccines and autism, even a case where the CDC prompted its researchers to distort and remove evidence which indicated a correlation between a vaccine and autism in black boys.

The Wakefield paper was written with with 12 other co-authors. 3 of the authors Wakefield included were struck off by Britain's GMC. They all fought their case in court and 2 of them were reinstated except Wakefield which is why it is called the Wakefield case.

The primary case of the GMC concerned the ethics of the research not its findings but the papers don't focus on that. The authors of the paper still stand by the clinical conclusions no matter what. The Lancet withdrew the paper not because of its clinical conclusions but because of the ethics. Go figure.
I know that for 'int a' the statement 'a += 1' can give rather surprising results.

And you made a universal statement that 'a += 1' can be trusted. Not just that it can sometimes be trusted. In C++ the code you gave above can also be trusted as far as I can tell. At least as much as the C version.

I really love him too! One of my absolute favorites.

For people who visit Copenhagen with the same affinity there is the obvious national gallery SMK[1].

But other worthwhile visits catering to Vilhelm Hammershøi are often overlooked.

The Hirchsprung Collection[2][3] is literally in the backyard of SMK. You will likely not pass it unless you go look for it but it is only a 5 min walk away.

Even less known is the magnificent The David Collection. It is in the absolute city centre right next to Rosenborg Castle. This is a true gem with free entrance all year round. Even with all the Copenhagen travel hype I rarely see it mentioned. They are right now having a special showing of some of his works February 15, 2025 - January 4, 2026. If memory serves they also have a few as part of their regular exhibition.

If you are willing to go to the suburbs of Copenhagen then you should not miss Ordrupgaard[5]. Not as well known internationally as Louisiana but actually closer to Copenhagen and easy to reach with public transportation.

...oh - and I almost forgot Glyploteket[6]. Known for their statues and egyptian colletion but they have paintings as well. I could not find it online so I might be misremembering seeing a Hammshøi there. For people visiting Copenhagen I actually would give this museum my top recommendation of all the museums. It is a really nice place with an awe inspiring collection.

So being the fanboy that I am the (slightly) amusing part is that I live only a 5 min walk from where he lived :-)

Performance for text generation is memory-limited, so lack of native fp8 support does not matter. You have more than enough compute left over to do the math in whichever floating point format you fancy.
>>To be fair i don’t think there is a business where I can make an appointment in the same week.

....where do you live where that's true??? I just checked with my local Volvo garage - I can get an appointment tomorrow.

That's literally their entire business model.

It's quite easy to see this in an EV, as measuring power is quite trivial.

Cruising along on a level highway at around 60 MPH, my EV uses like 2-3% the available power. Going up a incline and you're suddenly way above 40%.

This should come as no surprise to those who have ridden a bicycle outside of Holland.
> In Europe I think that EV vs !EV is almost certainly won

For people living in single family homes or in appartments with dedicated parking space, yes.

But lots of people are still living in apartments without a dedicated parking space. If you can't charge at home EV life is immediately a bit more compicated and expensive.

The American left seems to be very focused on making sure nobody will ever need to feel even the slightest bit offended or pressured. Best intentions, I'm sure, but I don't think that's an achievable or even a desirable goal. A healthy society requires a certain amount of peaceful friction.
