Follow this chain of events:

* The US economy nearly requires a degree for economic success

* US demographics cliff results in a heavy short fall of student enrollments

* US Federal government deeply cuts funding for universities

* US higher education offers remote learning to attract students and reduce costs, much of which deeply lowers the standard of education

* LLMs are deeply integrated into social products including snapchat and twitter

* LLMs are capable of completing a significant amount of curriculum

* The US Department of Education is removed, including teams responsible for tracking academic success on a national and state level

Words like collapse are I think not the right word. But the long term institutional harm of this sequence of events may hit the country very hard. Bringing back factory jobs ain't gonna fix it, if tariffs are even capable of doing that.

Sorry, I saw too many seemingly coded phrases. The way some people stir up racial strife or greatly exaggerate it really bugs me.

I think we're in agreement generally but I would like to point out that no matter how you cut it, I don't think simply being in a statistical minority alone is sufficient to get bullied. There has to be an actual seemingly negative trait that goes with it. Models are in a minority but they are rarely bullied. I think it's also possible that some cases of bullying are as much about the victim's reaction as they are about the offense. For example, we don't know how often "normal" people have to deal with abuse from others, and they may not be identified as bullying victims because they have somehow handled the problem without being too distressed. The classic example might be how middle school boys used to always call each other gay as a routine insult. Most of them laughed it off. The few that actually were gay or insecure about their appearance (or not having a girlfriend) might have felt bullied.
Will look into this issue and push a fix.

Do you or other HN commenters understand it in a satisfying way?

The author writes about the Doppler effect creating a systemic bias in brightness depending on which way the galaxies are rotating. I don't understand that argument either, but it's moot, because they state categorically that that effect would be too small to explain their results. ("This explanation is challenged by the fact that the effect of the rotational velocity have merely a mild impact on the brightness of galaxies, and therefore is not expected to lead to the dramatic difference of 50 per cent in the number of galaxies as observed through JADES.")

That's the only explanation I recognized as an explanation. Then I lost track of their argument following that. They refer to several speculative physics theories like MOND, but I don't understand them to be saying something that concretely predicts distant galaxies to appear to be rotating differently.

I'm appealing to anyone on HN who knows enough about this field to understand the meat of this argument.

I use Sidebery a lot and I'd like to know what exactly you mean by "close multiple tabs"? I currently drag with right click in Sidebery and then click close tabs in the popup menu, however I don't really like doing this way. How is it done in Tree Style Tabs?
Well flagging as “potentially malicious” seems fine and super useful. Companies just need to have competent investigation of the reports and avoid the dark side of automating action just because it’s cheaper.
With our math, yes. But maybe that’s because we are the imaginary part of the equation.

> How does this work with matter falling into 'our' black hole and hawkins-radiation leaving our black hole?

We would see that at the edge (if we could see it) there's new mass and energy, but that would be obscured by what appears as the CMB for us.

> Heck, Hawkins radiation means black holes can evaporate. Does that correspond to a universa collapsing?

No, it corresponds to stuff disappearing from our universe, until someday nothing is left.

> Would matter falling into our black hole come shooting out of the white-hole we see?

We'd see it as being part of the Big Bang, behind the CMB, so we wouldn't see it.

> Would time on either side of the event horizon even be related?

Er, not in any way that we could observe, so it's not a question we could answer. But we could receive information from the outside, except that the CMB would hide it from our prying eyes.
> We need better capabilities. E.g. when I run `fd`, `rg` or similar such tool, why should it have Internet access?

Yeah!! We really need to auto sandbox everything by default, like mobile OSes. Or the web.

People browse the web (well, except Richard Stallman) all the time, and run tons of wildly untrusted code, many of them malicious. And apart from zero days here and there, people don't pay much attention to it, and will happily enter any random website in the same machine they also store sensitive data.

At the same time, when I open a random project from Github on VSCode, it asks whether the project is "trusted". If not, it doesn't run the majority of features like LSP server. And why not? Because the OS doesn't sandbox stuff by default. It's maddening.
Be careful with the examples though: https://github.com/crmne/ruby_llm/issues/25

I've been using Zen for a few months now and love it. There are some rough edges (the article mentions how customizing it is confusing because multiple mechanisms affect different parts of the app). However, it's getting regular updates, and once it's set up, it's really a pleasure to use.

Apart from the elegant, minimalist user interface, I particularly like how it implements workspaces. It makes it super easy to switch between personal and work contexts.

I highly recommend it.
Would push a fix for this, apologies for the inconvenience.

Great link!

It seems there are 3 key things which distinguish the modern "unified memory architecture" from its predecessors:

1. Pointer passing instead of buffer copying
2. Separate bus for memory access alongside the PCIe bus
3. No partitioning of RAM into exclusive CPU vs. GPU areas

These features seem to have come at different times, and it's the combination of all three that defines the modern approach. Broadly speaking, whereas classic iGPUs were still functionally "peripheral devices", modern UMA/HSA iGPUs are coequal partners with their CPUs.

AMD seems to have delivered the first hardware meeting these criteria about 8-9 years ago, beating Apple to the punch by a couple years. However, AMD's memory bandwidth can be quite a bit behind Apple's. The M1 Pro handily beats anything AMD had out at the time (200 GB/s vs. 120 GB/s), and the M1 Max has double that bandwidth.

Why are you (and others in this thread) teaching these models how to essentially lie by omission? Do you not realize that's what you're doing? Or do you just not care? I get you're looking at it from the security angle but at the end of the day what you describe is a mechanical basis for deception and gaslighting of an operator/end user by the programmer/designer/trainer, which at some point you can't guarantee you'll become one on the receiving end of.

I do not see any virtue whatsoever in making computing machines that lie by omission or otherwise deceive. We have enough problems created by human beings doing as much that we can at least rely on eventually dying/attritioning out so the vast majority can at least rely on particular status quo's of organized societal gaslighting having an expiration date.

We don't need functionally immortal uncharacterizable engines of technology to which an increasingly small population of humanity act as the ultimate form of input to. Then again, given the trend of this forum lately, I'm probably just shouting at clouds at this point.

I was an early contributor to Langchain and it was great at first - keep in mind, that's before chat models even existed, not to mention tools, JSON mode, etc.

Langchain really, I think, pushed the LLM makers forward toward adding those features but unfortunately it got left in the dust and became somewhat of a zombie. Simultaneously, the foundational LLM providers kept adding things to turn them more into a walled garden, where you no longer needed to connect multiple things (like scraping websites with one tool, feeding that into the LLM, then storing in a vector datastore - now that's all built in).

I think Langchain has tried to pivot (more than once perhaps) but had they not taken investor $$ early on (and good for them) I suspect that it would have just dried up and the core team would have gone on to work at OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.
> Somebody was telling me how Hal Varian was "evil" the other night and I added that Vint Cerf was one of the people Upton Sinclair meant when he said “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” [1]

This was probably metaphor, but, if meant literally, it seems unlikely: the "difficult" quote is from a 1935 publication (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upton_Sinclair#Political_caree...), and Vint Cerf was born in 1943 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Cerf).
This sucks. I hope y'all recover (in every sense of the word) as soon as possible.
I think we would have preferred continuing with .NET, as no one is Rust expert on the team. But binary size and lack of some SIMD instructions moved the balance to Rust. And then, the PoC had big memory usage improvements, so...
GitHub’s incident response to this took 17 hours give or take.

Actions is a paid service but Microsoft probably replaced all the security teams with AI.
Why are other apps gone?
As long as you subscribe to security advisories, it’s a lot more likely that new vulnerabilities are introduced than old undiscovered vulnerabilities are accidentally patched. In fact barring rewrites (which usually won’t be picked up by semver-respecting auto bumps anyway) I can hardly think of an example of the latter.

You do know most of those companies do both charge you and sell your data? Almost the only companies that don't sell your data are big tech advertising companies.

"When you don't pay you are the product" doesn't mean "If you pay you aren't the product", you still are the product the company is just double dipping.

> No matter how hard you spin the pencil, you're drawing a one-dimensional curve that has no area

The object doesn’t matter, using pencil as the example was what threw you off - it’s not about what the pencil “draws”. Consider a thin cylinder, or rectangular prism, or just a stick - if you spin it around, its endpoints trace out a circle whose diameter is the length of the stick. You can move and spin such an object in another way where the shape traced out by its endpoints has smaller area than that circle.

I don't understand this logic. To me, that's equivalent to saying "there's no absolute direction for which way a wheel spins, it's relative to the speed of the observer". Which makes no sense to me, because my definition of spin is measured against the axis of rotation of the object itself.

I don't see how time-intermittent frame captures from our own position affect that interpretation. Or are we using an astonomy-specific definition of spin here?

> China has active concen— er, “reeducation camps” for specific religious minorities.

"Religious minority" is one way of framing it. "Political movement that spreads notions repugnant to all decent people" would be another. Every developed country has cult deprogramming and support efforts, and that's usually seen as a good thing.

> The man implemented social credit scores and will warn neighbors of your bad behavior, to include encouraging shunning you. Dropping the score low enough is enough to get you banned from trains and planes.

Whereas the US keeps their no-fly list secret and requires you to figure out people's credit score from context, so that's better? Any amount of antisocial behaviour should be ok as long as you made enough money from it?

> Political dissidents, highly respected lawmakers, and billionaires can disappear from public at the pleasure of the president.

Whereas in the US only nobodies get black-vanned at protests, and the CIA torture flights are only for foreigners, so that's better?

In terms of LLM code generation as well, the well structured nature of a Rails application, where there is a place for everything, a structure for tests to be added, really helps from the perspective of getting a comprehensible application out of it that is easy to modify. In addition to the existence of well tested component for most normal web application tasks, maybe it helps that a lot of Rails has already been based on old-fashioned code generation for 20 years.
The home-baked solutions it replaced where even worse hyper comlex dung though. Graph databases are a hard problem, so the solutions are never going to be as nice as key-value with an index.
Yep! Generally speaking singularities only appear because the math is deficient in some way. Other areas of physics successfully got rid of unphysical singularities by employing better math, it's just that we don't know how to fix this aspect of general relativity (maybe quantum gravity will?)

Solving problems abroad can improve economic outcomes locally - a good example with US Foreign Aid is how it was used to purchase American products, employ American Workers, and then improve the lives of folks internationally who could then (you guessed it!) go on to purchase American products, leading to American business growth and more hiring. Much of our aid contracts have stipulations making sure the money ends up back in America for example military aid contracts to Ukraine stipulating they would buy American weapon systems.

Solving problems abroad can prevent them from landing on your doorstep. I'd rather fight wars overseas, protecting economies that buy American products, then let the problems fester, cripple international trade, and risk reaching the American continent (9/11).

All I ask is you look one layer deeper into these problems rather then buying the news headline. You are having your pocket picked if you believe Elon Musk or other parts of the current administration are acting in the nation's interest.

Calling it a political philosophy feels too generous. It essentially boils down to "I am very smart and so should be unilaterally in charge of everything".
