> I think it's not an exaggeration to say LLMs are now better than 95+% of the population at mathematical reasoning.

It's not an exaggeration it's a non-sequitur, you first have to show that the LLMs are reasoning in the same way humans do.
It kinda reminds me of some of the old multiplayer PlayStation games that would flap your characters gums when you used the mic.

The motion lines up with the words more or less but it lacks any sort of emotion or emphasis like you'd see with real actors
Note that this is gonna be skewed pretty heavily toward domains that have existed for most of HN's history, at the expense of any newer domains that had fewer chances to rack up points.

If you look at any 2-4 year period, the ranking tends to be quite different. Well, Paul Graham is there pretty consistently, but everything else changes.
Maybe they used AI to come up with the tag line.

Rethinking Sleep: Fresh Answers to Your Biggest Sleep Questions
To the point King Charles is a fan
Code reviews are often used as an excuse to disclaim responsibility when problems occur, and as a way to deny authority under the guise of mandatory review requests. They do also have many benefits for e.g. continuity of service, but those two drawbacks remain relevant today.
> do you think these few bad folks are completely inconsequential at a systemic level?

Pretty much yes, and so are the good ones. Such is the nature of systems. A thing becomes visible as and labeled as "a system" only after it's quite stable and resilient, i.e. after it has developed effective responses to common "attacks" (deliberate or otherwise). Achieving fungibility of 99.9% of individual humans is like objective #1 and the systems that fail to achieve it don't exist long enough to be problematic.
I thought that at first, but the group was clearly temporary, intended for this particular military action. There was likely little value to staying, and as other comments note, a nonzero risk of (likely unsuccessful) prosecution.
Probably in poor taste either way.
How is it inaccurate?

John 1:38

> Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

John 3:2

> The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

John 20:16

> Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Yes for certain things like statistical trading (assuming some kind of "nice" Gaussian-like distribution) where you have lots of trades and just need to be more right than wrong it's probably useful.

Not here though, where you are trying to prove a (near) equivalence.
You would be surprised how little in common you can have with your neighbors. You likely don’t shop at the same places, don’t frequent the same restaurants, bars, parks, etc.

It’s not even politics related, people just don’t like the same activities. Some people cook, some people eat out, some people buy in bulk, some people hit farmers markets.

Easy transportation, internet shopping, etc make it trivial to have zero overlap with your neighbor’s day to day, regardless of city or suburb.

Why would we expect Patel and Bongino to investigate anything here? They were put there to investigate anyone else other than the current administration.

Why would any FBI agent take a risk on investigating anyone potentially in current or future administrations? They'll get fired later when the political winds change.
I was really fascinated with this plugin, hence I posted it. It is indeed really cool to have a Copilot Chat right in your terminal - haven't checked out all the features yet, how it can interact with my code in nvim.

What I'm wondering though is the big selection of models it offers. I think in VS Code using the Copilot Chat extension I only get 4 or 5 models to choose from.

Are these models just a hidden gimmick of the API or why are they there, if I may ask?
>This still happens in my experience, I've picked up keys from friends and Airbnb hosts via a local business in the past few years.

Seems strange to me, I've never done anything of the sort and wouldn't consider it. The closest is maybe leaving things at school for another parent to pickup because they left them with my kid.
I support this simply just on the fact that maybe they wouldn't have remade Danish film "Speak no evil" (2022) which was such a great movie into one of the worst movies I've seen this year, the American film "Speak no evil" (2024)
This specifically? No. We’ve been on this path a while now.

We've had things we call "AI" since the 1950s. We only had text prompting as an interaction mode since ChatGPT came out in 2022. Why is prompting your test for whether something is "AI" or not?
Careful though - remember what George Carlin has to say about forming groups https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m6TSv2vtvQ
It may or may not be bad security (I lean toward a rather than b), but it definitely violates record-keeping requirements. Deliberations of public officials might need to be classified, but they should definitely be recorded. If you're using disappearing messages to auto-erase records of conversations, it's a kind of fraud upon the public.
Nope. Not even in the same ballpark.
I view this as further evidence that we less different from "stochastic parrots" than we would like to believe.
That's the Christian viewpoint in that Christians view themselves as the valid continuation of the first convenient between god and the Hebrews.

Using Signal is very very very intentional. They may have fat fingered an invite but that does not excuse the whole skirting-all-natsec-protocols.
Was just pointing out a general issue, not taking sides. Can we stick to the topic—rage-bait memes on Twitter and Bluesky—and leave politics out of it for now? It’s an awful drag especially when we get into these dull statements “the other side is worse!!!”
I live in a big city in central Illinois, and we have neighborhoods like that in the city. It's hard for people outside to understand that I have suburban style neighborhood but I could walk to the DMV.
Right, which no one (to my knowledge) is opposed to.
the article has the answer
So people joined blue sky because of an algorithm? My point is that the content on these various platforms are low quality and fuel the fire and has ultimately created low quality arguments and ideas.
I guess Signal is pretty safe, but the phone you are using it on is far from safe. Then there is the issue of being able to accidently add unvetted people to the chat. Is that pretty much the size of the technological issue here?
Entire country blocks are lazy, and pragmatic. The US armed forces at one point blocked AU/NZ on 202/8 and 203/8 on a misunderstanding about packets from China, also from these blocks. Not so useful for military staff seconded into the region seeking to use public internet to get back to base.

People need to find better methods. And, crawlers need to pay a stupidity tax or be regulated (dirty word in the tech sector)
I'm sorry for your plight about the proles passing by you in first class there. Perhaps try flying private next time. It's really nice.

But really, this is an airline-specific problem. They decide the seating layout, the boarding procedure and all that. The manufacturer really has nothing to do with it, be it Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier, or any others.

If we're trading gripes, I'll throw my hat in for the opposite side, I'd much rather fly on a 320 family. The fly-by-wire makes the trip most often, by the feeling in my butt, more smooth than a cable-flown 737. Climbs and turns feel less rough around the edges, I'll take an Airbus of any model over a Boeing any flight, regardless of how many people have to pass me in first class.
I don't know. I do know that I used their process to delete my data (and account), and they claimed they complied. Whether or not they did, I have no way to know.

I wonder, though, if what they're talking about is that they have to keep the data as long as you have an account with them. The fact that you can't delete your data and keep your account hints that may be the case.
There was actually an issue when you login in with github for the first time, but that should be fixed. Sorry if anybody ran into that.

I mean, the conversation included references to materials sent on 'the high side' (classified-material email systems). If they consider those systems secure, what's the point of using Signal instead?
FWIW, Signal has been the de facto semi-informal chat app throughout the US intelligence community for many years. I first started using Signal several years ago because I needed it to chat with people in DC.

European governments do the same but with WhatsApp.
1429 is not a lot. People ask how somebody who has as much karma as I do can post the things I post and maybe they have a point.

Thank you for reading.
This is amazing! A few folks on my block in the lower haight started doing something similar during Covid. We’ve met some long term neighbor friends this way that we otherwise may have never met.

Love to know that more of this was going on in the city.
Would be interested to know as well. As far as I know there is no public information about how this works exactly. This is all I could find:

> The system uses an autoregressive approach — generating images sequentially from left to right and top to bottom, similar to how text is written — rather than the diffusion model technique used by most image generators (like DALL-E) that create the entire image at once. Goh speculates that this technical difference could be what gives Images in ChatGPT better text rendering and binding capabilities.

But chrome already supports all of that?
4 hours sounds like a lot of factory space to generate a substantial flow of output.
They still all have a somewhat cold and sterile look to them. Probably that 1% the next decade will be spent working out.
As a purpose-built tool, it improves on the experience of having multiple windows open. While the headline feature is keeping them all in sync, for my particular app, that's not as big a deal (though it's pretty cool that it will even do that for stuff like tweaking CSS styles in the inspector).

I've been playing around with it for a few minutes and I think what I'm really appreciating is that it's filled with dev tools of all kinds and it's really optimized for working on web sites rather than browsing. It can automatically open panes based on CSS breakpoints, and it has presets for many devices. Some of it is things I had in Chrome, but better, like rulers and guides and grids. Even the way screenshots are implemented shows they put thought into saving time and hassle over a thing you could of course do before with a few more steps. And it's not all related to layout: it shows meta tags and icons and previews for social media sharing.

Anyway, it's pretty cool IMO and I'll probably end up buying it if I keep working on web apps. The only downside I've noticed is that it feels a little sluggish, even when not heavily loaded down (e.g. just 3 panes). I'm using this monster M2 Ultra Mac Studio so it's a bit unusual for a browser to lag.
I am a paying user! the app is really good, it helped me as an adult starting piano 2 years ago.

Main feature request would be to generate the notes from a score, focusing in the intervals, ranges and patterns the score uses. Doing random notes feels weird, it helps with quick recognition but feels very different to what my head wants to do while playing.

Avoiding government record keeping is literally part of the Project 2025 plan.
Thanks, I usually rely on the URL to detect duplicates. Not in this case, I guess...
What I want is something like “please run this command on a server somewhere when event X happens”. Seems like the options are along the lines of:

1. SaaS CI/CD products, like GitHub Actions,

2. Run your own Jenkins cluster,

3. Figure out how to orchestrate cloud resources to do this for you.

Maybe there are easy options that I’m missing. I don’t really want to create docker containers just to build some program I’m working on.

Another interpretation of this is that the lead developer adequately mitigated the risk of errors while also managing the risk of not shipping fast enough. It's very easy to criticise when you're not the one answering for both, especially the latter.

Admins will see unusual traffic from that account and then take action. Of course it will not be perfect as there could be a way to mimic human traffic and slowly scrape the data anyway, that's why there is element of trust (two existing members to vouch).
I'm guessing it's annotated by an LLM. Would be a lot of thankless work otherwise, so don't really blame the author, but it means you get the occasional nonsense summary.

Edit: yeah, the "methodology" page confirms this.
Out of curiosity, what are you using now? Or do you mean you don't need remote terminals any more because you work on other stuff?

You can use a paid tier to avoid such issues. Not sure what you're expecting for those "experimental" models, which is in development and needs user feedback.
You 100% can do stoop whiskey! Or simply hanging outside with whatever beverage. My block in Brooklyn has a lot more stoop whiskey than coffee but also has a really strong neighborhood feel (and whatsapp chat). I feel lucky to have moved into an already vibrant community but also believe anyone can create this anywhere.
I won't defend religion here as such, but whatever was happening in the Mediterranean basin in 1st to 3rd century wrt. the religion seems to be incredibly fascinating via the anthropological/cultural lens too.

It seems like Microsoft has some sort of fake phishing system with all of these ridiculous properties, which many organizations then use.

The first time I received one, I initially thought our email server had been compromised, because rather than realizing it was a fake test, my mind went from "Why was this obvious phishing email not caught by the spam filter?" to "How does this email not have Received headers!?" to "How does an obviously fake login page have a valid Microsoft SSL certificate on a validly Microsoft-registered domain name and a Microsoft-ASN IP address!?" to "How much of the university's infrastructure would have to be compromised for an attacker to do that!?".

It also would mean that the model can correctly split the image into layers, or segments, matching the entities described. The low-res layers can then be fed to other image-processing models, which would enhance them and fill in missing small details. The result could be a good-quality animation, for instance, and the "character" layers can even potentially be reusable.
Veritasium has a few recent videos on Action. In one of them I believe he shows speed of light expressed as one unit of action, which implies that it’s the highest “resolution” any propagation can resolve at based on the fundamentally smallest path integral anything can traverse, or something.
It could happen on Whatsapp. I've seen a lot of groups where everybody is an admin.

Sadly, that live version is the only one I can find streaming anywhere. The album version (which I have on CD) uses a sample of a dot matrix printer to play the part that the brushed snare does on that live version.
It’s a type of QA question that can identify peculiarities in models (e.g. count “r”s in strawberry), which the best we have given the black box nature of LLMs.
The fact that nobody on the thread spoke up and said "we shouldn't be talking about this on Signal" worries me greatly.

One possible explanation is that it happens all the time.
I'm a bit confused on whether "other models that may more reliably mimic human biology" generally exist today. The article mentions a couple non-animal models, but do we know that they are better analogues, or are they just ideas of where research might go if people didn't expect in vivo results? The point of in vivo studies, after all, is that it's easy to build artificial models which accidentally strip out some important complicating factor.
This attitude is just FUD.

The issue here generally boils down to the defining difference between a generalist Admin and a Messaging Admin. The generalist can follow instructions, and nearly all the instructions out there stop at the point where SPF/DKIM/DMARC are successfully implemented. A generalist worth their salt will then fill in the gaps if they can', and knows this isn't where you stop when you want mail deliverability. There's a higher bar.

If you follow instructions written by non-professionals blindly you don't ever reach the point where you get to quality work.

Google, Microsoft, and the other large ESPs don't refuse to relay your email based on secret internal factors. This is what the non-professional people say to falsely justify why they can't do something.

Google and Microsoft publish the internal factors they use in the form of whitepapers at the industry working group. Its not ready made, and there are a lot of them, and they may not release their specific implementation details, but the metrics are there and often are based in weighted form (reputation-based systems).

If you follow them correctly, and set up the appropriate reporting accounts, and maintain those accounts, you won't have these problems. You generally only have problems once you've violated guidelines continuously, which happens when you rely on, or are unable to discern between qualified and unqualified help.

The factors are published at https://www.m3aawg.org/

Every professional that specializes in email or messaging that I know of is well aware of this.

People don't have the same vitriol when it comes to comparing Generalist Admins to DBAs, and this is the same with any specialized niche.

If you need email and messaging to work in a complex environment, you hire a person that specializes in it.
Show HN: AI-Generated Art on eInk
10 years ago we built an eInk display as a fun side project:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pixsso-the-smart-display#...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8679049

Not much traction back then, but we want ton give this another shot.

Pixsso is now focused on eInk + generative art, which we find it to be a very compelling use case.

Pixsso is ready to ship and is also open source if you want to build it yourself:

https://github.com/hal9ai/pixsso
The idea of using SSO for SSH sounds interesting for some applications, but does the login process really need to be browser-based? Can't we just have the login prompt in the terminal (without needing to run a headless browser behind-the-scenes of course)? I'm often working on headless machines, and other devices that definitely don't have a browser installed, and it would be pretty painful to use (not to mention that when working in a terminal, I find very annoying to have to switch to a browser, or to any other window by the way).
Forgot to add:

The section of Mathew is understood by mainstream Christianity as a "double prophecy" concerning both the destruction of the second temple and the eventual second coming of Christ. I can understand someone seeing this as moving goalposts until I consider that it could've been quietly deleted to avoid embarrassment if it wasn't intended this way.

Christians have a wide range of views on eschatology, but the mainstream position for a while has been amillennial, which are not the people who get freaked out about locusts and red cows and whatnot.
the whole team has to review every single line of code to make sure everyone understands it? or is there a threshold like “we good if 7 out of 79 understand it?” almost 3 decades hacking and have never heard anyone saying that purpose of the code review (in the top 987 reasons teams may institute it) is to ensure your code is understandable by other people… wild :)
> The dominant culture is essentially the "default" and is somewhat "self-reinforcing", so generally has no need of an identity-based support group. Thus, when the dominant culture does establish an identity-based group, it tends to take on a different meaning.

You're being so indirect we're forced to guess at what you mean. Can you please say clearly why you think White must be actually prevented from doing this, when all other groups have already done so?

Not why you think they don't need one - why do you think they must be prevented, even if some of them want to start one?
