Meta’s Llama models (and likely many others') have similar restrictions.

Since they don’t fully comply with EU AI regulations, Meta preemptively disallows their use in those regions to avoid legal complications:

“With respect to any multimodal models included in Llama 3.2, the rights granted under Section 1(a) of the Llama 3.2 Community License Agreement are not being granted to you if you are an individual domiciled in, or a company with a principal place of business in, the European Union. This restriction does not apply to end users of a product or service that incorporates any such multimodal models”

What is the difference between small and large models in case of TTS?

The modern railway jobs, thanks to Hunter Harrison and PSR, are terrible by modern standards. Extensive over-work, safety issues, and constant cost cutting pressures while making longer and longer trains. Even while I’m searching for jobs currently, getting involved in that industry again is appalling. Source: worked at a railroad safety engineering firm (preemption and crossings)
It kinda makes sense though, ARM has been creeping upwards over the years and yet afaik outside of Ampere no ARM server supplier has become serious (outside of inhouse variants such as Amazon Graviton).

So combining ARM and Ampere operations doesn't hurt any current big customers in the mobile field (apart from perhaps Qualcomm but they're in lawsuit mode there anyhow).

They also make sure to make the ARM alternative available to smaller customers (As an option besides AMD and Intel servers) instead of being gobbled up by f.ex. Oracle (making the big server ARM implementations inhouse to 2 of the big platform operators).

Not to mention the silver lining, combining the ops will give it more credence in the enterprise market that seems to have damn good margins (some have attributed AMD's resurgence and Intel's troubles to Intel slipping in server sales).

>attention is limited, and you can grab a large swath of that attention with crap

I think that's kind of wrong. If attention is limited then there will be a lot of things competing for it and getting a large swath is hard.

Thinking of people I know, I've got a friend trying to make it with AI music and getting nowhere because the songs are generic and boring. On the other hand I ran into a guy who wrote an unusually catchy bit of music which was put out as Hey Kitty which went nowhere, then covered as Hey Mickey which was no 1 many places and then kind of copied into APT which has been "#1 global top music video" for months according to youtube. It works because it's different and catchy unlike AI crap.
This is merely a “we don't take responsibility if this somehow violates EU rules around AI”, it's not something they can enforce in any way.

But even as such a strategy, I don't think that would hold if the Commission decided to fine Tencent for releasing that in case it violated the regulation.

IMHO it's just the lawyers doing something to please the boss who asked them to “solve the problem” (which they can't, really).

You're advocating for avoiding polarised discussions because they degenerate quickly. I'm only pointing out that that's not the only option: you could allow these discussions while ruthlessly silencing bad faith actors (for whatever definition of "bad faith" you want to adopt). Those are both "pro-censorship" stances (although I prefer the word "moderation" to "censorship"), but they're going about it in different ways.

That's what I mean by the Nazi bar problem[0]: you can't solve it by just not allowing certain topics to be discussed, because eventually in some completely tangential situation, a nasty flamewar is going to erupt and people who are not Nazis will be appalled that there are Nazis here.

[0]: I'm explicitly not saying that certain opinions expressed on HN are literal Nazi opinions, the Nazi bar problem is just a convenient analogy for the situation when one group of people holds opinions that are utterly appalling to many other people that frequent the same space.

> There are agent frameworks that are not rebranded workflow tools too.

To me "workflow" is just what agent means: the rules under which an automated action occurs. Without some central concept "agent" just a magic wand that does stuff that may or may not be what you want it to do. If we can't use state machines at all I'm just going to go out and say LLMs are a dead end. State machines are the bread and butter of reliable software.

> Forget about boxes and deterministic control and start thinking of error tolerance and recovery.

First you'd have to define what an error even is. Then you're just writing deterministic software again (a workflow), just with less confidence. Nice for stuff with low risk and confidence to begin with (eg semantic analysis etc whose error tends to wash out in aggregate), but not for stuff acting on my behalf.

LLMs are cool bits of software, but I can't say I see much use for "agents" whose behavior is not well-defined and whose non-determinism is formally bounded.

I came from the semiconductor industry, where everything was locally hosted Jenkins + bash scripts. The Jenkins job would just launch the bash script that was stored in perforce(vcs), so all you had to do to run things locally was run the same bash script.

When I joined my first web SaaS startup I had a bit of a culture shock. Everything was running on 3rd party services with their own proprietary config/language/etc. The base knowledge of POSIX/Linux/whatever was almost completely useless.

I'm kinda used to it now, but I'm not convinced it's any better. There are so many layers of abstraction now that I'm not sure anybody truly understands it all.
Debugging and monitoring. When the runner is somewhere else, and is shared nobody is going to give you full access to the machine.

Ah interesting, I wasn't aware that you can put Balkonkraftwerke _with_ a battery on a normal outlet, too. Thanks for that. I don't think that changes my conclusion though, as the per-kWh-price there is significantly higher (I think mostly due to the transformer that's required) :/

I did the calculation for another discussion yesterday. For larger battery systems you can get 10kWh for about 2.4kEUR and with that 240EUR/kWh the battery would amortise itself quite quickly (6 years, ignoring interest [0]). But the Balkonkraftwerk batteries are more 1.6kWh (+ 1000W panels) + transformer for 1kEUR. The solar generation changes the calculation a bit [1], but if I ignore that then we are at 625 EUR/kWh, which would at least double, maybe triple the payback period (and then ignoring interest becomes much more relevant).

However this is largely academic as for my calculation you'd need to use more than 20kWh per day (2 cycles @ 10kWh). The cheapest battery-only normal-outlet system I could find was 900 EUR (but the AC/DC transformer is already included) for 1.6kWh, so 562 EUR/kWh. I don't think I even use the 3 kWh/day for that system... And we are talking <100 EUR/year savings. In the end (residential) electricity is just not that expensive (in terms of household budget)

[0] With a dynamic price rate you could do two cycles per day (loading in the night and at midday with lack-of-demand-cheapness and solar-cheapness) on 250 days/year and a spread of 8ct/kWh (there is some variation, but that should be somewhat conservative) you can get 500 cycles/year and about 40EUR per battery-kWh installed.
[1] In the calculations above I took a rough look at the pricing data in Germany https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c... and picked numbers for reasonably simple calculations. With solar you would essentially do the Midday charging for "free" from the panels, increasing the price spread in the evening. One could also take time-of-use rates for the calculation, which (currently) typically offer a structure of -6ct, -6ct and +4ct at night, midday and evening (vs morning prices)

That’s only true if your goal is to optimize for profit instead of passenger satisfaction.
The purpose of the professional managerial class is to obscure responsibility by profusion of roles, and thereby to enable unaccountability. As such, its function is an essential one, perhaps the most essential. It's not going anywhere.
The real reason is the government has set return fares and let private companies freely set the price of single fares.
As you correctly point out on a fundamental level unions are just workers of a particular skill organizing to address issues these workers want to see adressed, and by them bekng many they strengthen their bargaining position. Unions can devolve into dysfunctional bureaucratic entities, but so can literally everything else where people come together for a cause — so that is no argument against unions.

Every employee is replaceable, banding together with others that might replace you instead of letting them play you like a fool is a power move.
They would still be if they had voted. I'm curious what the actual answer is too.
They both stem from the more general meaning of hacking as looking for clever outside-the-box solutions to a problem, showing disregard to the intended/expected/typical way of going about that sort of thing. It apparently originated with this meaning in the late 50's at MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club.
I don't think that helps you very much, we are talking 2-3kEUR hardware costs. Even getting that person to your place and back will add significant percentages of overhead. And even going to smaller systems (that you apparently just plug in here in Germany, see sibling comment) are already getting too expensive to really work-out even under ideal assumptions
I dont think the errors really are all that different. Ever since GPT-3.5 came out Ive been thinking that the errors were ones a human could have made under a similar context.

>LLMs can keep getting closer to match our physical reality, but when you zoom into the details you'll always find that it comes short.

Like humans.

>So you can never really trust an LLM.

Cant really trust a human either. That's why we set up elaborate human systems (science, checks and balances in government, law, freedom of speech, markets) to mitigate our constant tendency to be complete fuck ups. We hallucinate science that does not exist, lies to maintain our worldview, jump to conclusions about guilt, build businesses based upon bad beliefs, etc.

>If we want to make an AI that doesn't make errors, it should understand how physics works

An AI that doesnt make errors wouldnt be AGI it would be a godlike superintelligence. I dont think thats even feasible. I think a propensity to make errors is intrinsic to how intelligence functions.

Physics is just one domain that they work in and Im pretty sure some of them already do have varying understandings of physics.
>It stretches the definition of "two-factor"

I always considered the time aspect to be the more important "factor" of TOTP in practice. E.g., if somebody managed to peek over your shoulder or film you while typing in your password. With TOTP, they have under a minute to capitalize on that information. I still have that base covered with my password manager handling the secret key, so I never saw the appeal of tying TOTP to a phone.
Yeah, and I have a microwave. Despite being vegetarian myself I don't complain that it has a button for "chicken" on it. I don't even really know what it does. I don't really care.
I think SB might've upped the bid a bit extra with Oracle as the other suitor. With Graviton and Ampere processors owned by hyperscalers it would've been a very unfortunate time for the ARM server market to become stagnant.

Right now ARM is in a golden position to take server market pieces, higher compute densities with simpler i-set and good software support thanks to years of mobile and now Apple support (most language implementators wants things to run on Mac's so bugs and perf have been getting fixed)

If Oracle would've bought them, third parties (in this case including both Microsoft with Azure and Google) would probably have held back on ARM investments (not to mention smaller operators), Qualcomm being in lawsuit mode would also had sown doubt, maybe some other manufacturer would introduce chips in the meanwhile but they would be small and given time Risc-V might even pop up on the horizon as an alternative hurting ARM on server chances even more.

Now they're "independant", with better software support than ever, guaranteeing availability to smaller parties (at a time when many of those are outside the US and wanting alternatives) and a chance to benefit from vertical integration.

After a decade trying to fight it, this one Lisper here just gave up. It was the only way to stay sane.

I remain hopeful that some day, maybe within our lifetimes, the rapid inflation phase of software industry will end, and we'll have time to rethink and redo the fundamentals properly. Until then, one can at least enjoy some shiny stuff, and stay away from the bleeding edge, aka. where sewage flows out of pipe and meets the sea.

(It's gotten a little easier now, as you can have LLMs deal with YAML-programming and other modern worse-is-better "wisdom" for you.)

It truly doesn't matter though. Electric cars are here to save the auto industry, they won't help much for climate change. They simply perpetuate the mindset that we can waste insane amount of energy to displace our lazy asses and our insane amount of useless gadgets.

Nobody with half a brain cares about who's going to "win" this "race", there is nothing to win. Where are the "dumb" < $10k EVs ? Where are the world wide standards for chargers/batteries/interfaces ? Why do we have 50 companies working on solving the same problems in the US/EU ? All of this is so inefficient and so unimaginative, we basically keep everything the same, except the cars are bigger, more expensive, create more particulate pollution (huge tires, higher torque), will last decades less (who's going to fix a gen 1 tesla in 2040 ?), anything other than a fender bender = written off (https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/scratc...). Let's not even mention the absolutely insane amount of mining we'll need to do to replace 1.4 billion ICE cars with EVs (plot twist, mining isn't very eco friendly)

It is also an informed threshold. FTL neutrinos where, IIRC, above 6 sigma and nobody believed it was true, while there were strong rumors that Higs had been found well before it hit 5 sigmas.
It's not only not really idiomatic, it's almost never necessary in practice.

I was struggling to think of a time I'd ever given a type annotation to an integer local variable - because normally the place the variable ends up dictates the type.

Local variable becomes part of struct? Struct dictates type. Passed into function? Function dictates type. Multiplied by other variable and then that is passed to function? The type is determined by the function.
A lot of people are ignoring the fact that SoftBank Group is also one of the largest players in the telco market globally (that's how they started) [0] and that played a role in their Arm strategy and Eutelsat OneWeb strategy.

It's useful to look at the Ampere acquisition from the same lens, as Ampere is heavily used for telco usecases [1]

SoftBank Group has heavily invested in O-RAN to act as the base technology for what will become 6G, and they have been making a number of partnerships, investments, and acquisitions specifically around this [2][3].

SoftBank has been working on a 6G/Beyond 5G strategy for several years now [4] - primarily targeting embedded usecases such as autonomous vehicles [5][6]

D sits in a weird place and that's probably why it's not widely adopted.

If I'm using C, it's probably because I'm doing something low level and garbage collector could be problematic there. If you are fine with complexity, C++ or Rust are better options. If you want a simple language, I'd suggest Zig.

On the other hand, if I don't want to deal with memory management, and still want fairly fast compiled language, I'd just go with Go. It has a much better ecosystem, because low level GC language is really mostly targeted at server components and Go excels there with implicit async everywhere.
Those other methods do get used, but are of limited utility because the stone is that impenetrable - and it’s a masonry structure with a significant amount of joints, random small voids, etc.

It really does benefit from something like muon/neutron radiation, where absorption is quite low/penetration quite high, so we can ‘see’ pass the first couple centimeters to meters.
While I can't vouch for this study's accuracy, deep-sea mining companies will find a way to discredit any research that opposes their interests. Marine ecosystems are already under significant stress, and these mining operations will certainly accelerate the damage that's already happening.
For some reason it was very hard for the Victorians who pioneered archaeology to understand that ancient humans were actual human beings and not storytelling archetypes or moral exemplars.

The claim you made was "they just admitted to logging the usernames and passwords". The fact is that they did not admit to that. If you think otherwise, please quote the actual admission.

I don't know how you think "this is how TLS works" is relevant here. Just e.g. terminating a TLS connection certainly doesn't mean that you're going to be logging all the unencrypted data. And you claim, again, was about logging.
