AI apologists need to decide whether they are claiming LLMs are almost-AGI, or not.

This backlash of pointing out LLM failures is a reaction to the overblown hype. We don't expect a statistical-language-processing-gadget to do math well, but then people need to stop claiming they're something other than statistical-language-processing-gadgets.
I'd buy one if I knew I could use it. The old Intel Macs shipped with UEFI and a fairly open architecture, even Apple couldn't control when the chipset was fully depreciated. When MacOS cut off 32-bit support suddenly, hardcore software aficionados could still use Bootcamp to run the software they bought. When Apple "vintage"-ized old iMacs and Macbooks, they could still install other OSes and live on. Apple doesn't have to support their hardware forever... but their lack of a serious depreciation model means that I have to trust MacOS wholeheartedly.

And MacOS isn't worth my trust as a user. Big Sur feels like Mac by way of Windows 8 - it's stepping deeper into a service-integrated product that won't respect my time or money. If Apple published their driver code or at least documented their hardware as a gesture of good faith, I'd trust them a lot more. But Asahi is on the ropes right now (who'da thunk) and Apple isn't stepping in to heroically save anyone. Like the Halloween papers, with teeth this time.

It's all so tiring. I like my Magic Trackpad on GNOME, but I don't think modern Mac hardware is worth locking myself in with Dr. Tim Strangelove and learning to love his software.

i went through a similar experience. as a young person i spent all my school and university holidays traveling, only staying a few days in each place. there was no other option really, because i didn't want to outstay my welcome. as i started working i found jobs in remote places and instead of traveling went there to live and work which allowed me to spend more time with the same people and form deeper connections. still fleeting in a way, but less so. when i got married i effectively settled in china where i was able to make much deeper connections. in the meantime thanks to the internet (and in part thanks to covid motivating local groups to have online meetings) i was able to reconnect to old and new friends back home and keep in touch with them as well.

IMO sms costs are extortion. It should be an open standard with standard interfaces and cost the same as email, which is to say be basically free.

> I don’t think any of this will work favorably to the US, just trying to think what their internal logic might be.

The "internal logic" is that Trump thinks trade deficits are bad. That's it. He's been going on about this since the 1980s:

* https://archive.is/https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-forged...

* https://archive.is/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/15/us/pol...

Every justification for that "logic" is rationalization for the decision Trump has already made.
That's a shame. I have a 600 series and have replace many of it's parts - it's eminently repairable. Maybe that's part of the problem though - if I can repair it, I have no motivation to purchase a replacement device no matter how much "AI" it might have.

/me goes off to buy a bunch of spares from irobot whilst I can
I finished this book a couple of months ago, and it was a very enjoyable read. I think this book is a good model of how to blend narrative storytelling with an educational resource in a way that kept me engaged and mulling over the topic in my head, even when I wasn’t reading it. I felt that I came away from it with a much deeper understanding of manufacturing, and the business decisions that govern it as a whole.

If anyone has any book recommendations that hit that same sweet spot please comment them.
This is so common in my experience, especially when they're 30 or younger, and I'd love to know what it is.

Is it just an excuse to pickup their phone due to addiction?
A few pieces of feedback from me:

1) Keyboard input would be really nice, especially playing on desktop

2) A "give up" button instead of a 5 minute timeout would be appreciated

3) It might be more fun/challenging if you don't give the category, but have to guess the category after unscrambling the words.

I think this is different. Getting something wrong in journalism is not like a mistake practicing an instrument: reputations and careers are at stake. it calls into doubt the integrity of the whole program.
I feel like 50% of the criticism about “liberals” being wrong are valid, and the other 50% mask the different roles liberals and conservatives play in society.

Like Fauci did what, at least if a year of his leadership under Trump? And then the is somehow gets retconned into liberals screwed everything up, and conservatives get to say I told you so? And now Fauci, who took his role under Reagen and led through at least 3 other Republican administrations is a liberal?

We’ve gotten to this place where everyone is afraid to criticize them constant and endless stupidities of certain personalities on the right politicizing nearly everything about the pandemic to, “it’s all liberals fault”.
The way to differentiate oneself is to know and understand the details, and what is actually happening, I think. Applications are messy whether they run on bare metal or in the cloud. If you truly understand what’s going on at a deeper level with the programming language, compiler, and the system architecture (both software engineering architecture and system component architecture) you’ll be a far more valued programmer than one that is just “getting things to work.”
“Changing your mind” doesn’t really look like what LeCun is doing.

If your model of reality makes good predictions and mine makes bad ones, and I want a more accurate model of reality, then I really shouldn’t just make small provisional and incremental concessions gerrymandered around whatever the latest piece of evidence is. After a few repeated instances, I should probably just say “oops, looks like my model is wrong” and adopt yours.

This seems to be a chronic problem with AI skeptics of various sorts. They clearly tell us that their grand model indicates that such-and-such a quality is absolutely required for AI to achieve some particular thing. Then LLMs achieve that thing without having that quality. Then they say something vague about how maybe LLMs have that quality after all, somehow. (They are always shockingly incurious about explaining this part. You would think this would be important to them to understand, as they tend to call themselves “scientists”.)

They never take the step of admitting that maybe they’re completely wrong about intelligence, or that they’re completely wrong about LLMs.

Here’s one way of looking at it: if they had really changed their mind, then they would stop being consistently wrong.
First instigator penalty in a game is 2 minutes for instigating, 5 for fighting, and a 10 minute misconduct. So 17 minutes.

We sell things to ourselves. Is Ohio going bankrupt buying Californian Wines? If States could enact tariffs would it make sense for Ohio to tariff imports from California then?
Product manager ex. game designer with a number of puzzle/word game in operation here.

- Having a timer (urgency) is usually not a very good idea for thinky games. If you insist on having a timer consider making it count upwards.

- Additionally as other commenters mentioned is the game is a time trial it needs an explicit “Start” button. Also stop the timer when user is not playing e.g. reading the rules.

- There’s no point of having a “Play again” option for a Wordle style daily game, the thinking part is already done, so any replay is just an exercise in dexterity.

- It’s okay to be US-centric actually, doesn’t matter unless you are very serious about monetizing it, and even then being US-centric will work.

- Consider showing rules for first time users before staring the puzzle.

- Consider having some sort of overarching thing in your puzzle, so it’s not just five words on a specific topic to guess, but something more, like a hidden word across all five etc. This makes a delightful discovery moment and sometimes might work as a clue.

there are some good american and canadian cryptics but i agree, it's a largely uk-centred pastime.
Having built similar things in the past, raising a bit of an eyebrow at the business model: it seems likely that with three parties involved (Coolify people, customer, hosting provider) there will end up being too much finger pointing as to the source of issues. Certainly way too much to cover a few dollars a month revenue. I think most customers would conclude they are better off just deploying the bare OSS version and paying whoever they are already paying (internal or external) for engineering services, to make sure it stays up.

> Just a few years ago, iRobot, best known as the maker of the Roomba, was riding high, with annual revenue topping $1 billion; Amazon bid $1.7 billion to add it to the e-commerce giant’s home technology business. But that deal fell through, and now the Bedford, Massachusetts-based company has reported plunging revenue and steep losses, and recently warned investors of “substantial doubt” about its “ability to continue as a going concern.” With its share price down drastically, it’s now worth about $100 billion. How did the creator of the iconic round robot vacuum—which has sold more than 50 million units—get into this mess?

I cannot comprehend these valuations, US$1 billion is a lot of revenue but just because it's an appliance with a bit of technology/software in the products it pushes to P/E > 100, and a P/E of 100 is seen as a "low"? For an appliances company?

The financial markets are extremely broken, anything that peddles being "tech of <placeholder>" becomes an absurdity. A P/E of 30-40 for an appliances maker would be very, very good.
The Case for Insect Consciousness
Same! However, I think the OP has done a good job. On mini games like this, I guess it doesn't bother me. I only get frustrated if I have invested time and they throw a timer in. Such a dated mechanic.

My Roomba 530 from 2008(?) still goes strong, even if it looks like a war victim after bumping into too many objects. I've replaced the battery with a nonstandard lithium-ion, did a regrease, and replaced the bristles a few times. It always worked good enough for a midweek cat hair cleaning cycle but could never replace the full vacuum.

We were looking to replace the poor thing in 2017 or so, and found iRobot wanted WiFi connection to upload our floor plans to the cloud. No way, was our reaction, so we bought some aftermarket parts and revived it. I do wonder how well its scratched surface still detects walls.
I can confidently say I, and pretty much every other engineer I know would have been categorically opposed to having a hackathon to rip out and replace IRS systems no matter who was doing it.

Techies like those of us on HN understand the difference between safety critical systems and throwing ideas at the wall in a startup.

If this was being done in a careful methodical fashion, with deep care given to data integrity and security I'd support it regardless of whose doing it. This 30 day move fast and break things would be bad from Biden, Obama, or in a better timeline Bernie.
Oh I’ve gotten weird about email, for sure — but this is more of an example of “the prototype goes to production”.

I put these filters in place long before iPhones were a thing, and when the only devices that supported push notifications were BlackBerry (maybe? I didn’t have one) and pagers.

In the early 2000s if I wanted to be notified to go home and check my email for something important, the email->sms gateway was really my only option.

It’s probably worth a revisit now though!
Here's a question to test your understanding of functors: Is the Haskell type `Set e` a functor? (Where `Set e` is a set of elements of type `e`.)

Does the answer vary depending on the programming language? E.g. Is the `Set<'e>` type in F# a functor?
Interesting. Any suggestions?

I've looked in the past and didn't have much luck.
I don't understand. Deterministic and stochastic have very specific meanings. The statement: "To continue my reply I could say this word, more than the others, or maybe that one, a bit less, ..." sounds very much like a probability distribution.
The problem is that C semantics leads to C problems that the world has dealt with for decades.

It sounds like you are leaving tried and tested simple advancements in programming on the table just to avoid a superficial comparison.

Even then what C++ people want from a competitor is simplicity. Not to give up the essentials but to keep the crucial aspects that they can never give up and are the reason they put up with all of the complexity of C++.
Most don't, though. Most even pay taxes, though they don't receive welfare benefits of those taxes.

I think you can make an argument that the minimum wage is too low, but it's hard to argue that the salary they take is illegal.

Your domestically produced food was grown with engines powered by oil bought from abroad, because the stuff the US gets out of the ground isn't right for the US refineries: https://www.marketplace.org/2024/05/13/the-u-s-exports-more-...

Several critical minerals just aren't mined at all in the USA, they have to be imported. Anything that needs those to be produced, just got more expensive, regardless of where the factory is.

Your domestically produced cars were made from imported parts, sometimes with multiple border crossings.

Your domestically produced big tech runs on servers with many imported components.
Hold my beer while I trivially write a slow web server on tokio + hyper.
I disagree. First of all, you can write a compiler for any existing language. But second, inhave experience writing compilers and interpreters. For me the hardest was always to give good information/feedback on errors. Because the compiler cannot go ahead, means it is “confused” eliminates that confusion to help the user is very much non trivial.

No one cares about facts anymore. They care about vibes and whether what is saying matches their vibes.

That's why no one reads past the reddit title or the Google news headline.

I don't know how we get past this, but I'm teaching my kids to believe NOTHING they read online or on youtube. NOTHING. I'm teaching them to get information from first hand sources, not even "reliable" sources like newspapers because they have their own agendas too. There's a hierarchy of believability, and the higher you go, the less you put your faith into that information.

It's a sad way to grow up but when almost everything is faked for engagement, it's a reality that you can't trust anything.
Good luck! For what it’s worth I hope you prioritize this above everything else.
Seems like currently consumer robotics companies are being valued like consumer electronics. Having AI doesn’t help the valuation.

>> A trade deficit is like buying stuff with a credit card

> Yeah—that’s exactly why it’s bad! That’s why very smart and responsible countries like Japan and Germany seek to maintain trade surpluses.

Yeah, at the end of that section:

> Does using your credit card to buy a washing machine from Target mean that Target has ripped you off? No. Does it make you poorer when you use your credit card to buy a washing machine from Target? Nope. You now have less money, but you have more stuff. In just the same way, a trade deficit means that the U.S. has less money and more stuff. It does not mean America is poorer, or that it has been ripped off by foreigners.

People in the US seem to want to save less but have more stuff. Other countries have different priorities.

Neither having more stuff, nor having more money, is "better" in an 'objective' sense, but relative to what you want out of life. If the Japanese and/or Germans are happy saving, then good for them; if Americans are happy spending, then good for them too.

And a reminder: the main point of money is not to have money but to use it to live life. Certainly you should have an emergency fund and save for retirement, but having a large number in some account is not useful. Money was invented to make the exchange of goods and services easier, so spending money is the point of money.

You don't celebrate having a movie or concert ticket for the sake of having the ticket, but for the sake of being able to go to the show. The moneys are the tickets to be able to see the show of life.

I have an i7 and I've been replacing parts on it for ~5 years now. It'd be a shame to have to get into something else, it really has done a great job of cleaning the house. Like another comment said, I might have to go buy a bunch of spare parts in case they do go under.
> The story was true is your takeaway?

I think this was the takeaway of the entire industry. Daisey gave an admission that was basically a performance, and the message of that performance was "I was dishonest, and being dishonest is terribly morally wrong, but being dishonest made the story more true, and if therefore I have to be morally wrong to deliver the real truth, I'll have to take the blame."

Typical middle-class post-mortem after getting caught.

That happened during a time when we expected the mainstream news to be literally true, even if told from a particular perspective. If Daisey's story were politically valuable to someone today, however, every outlet would simply agree not to report on it. They'd just refer back to it in articles about Foxconn as "allegations spread around right-wing twitter about the supposed bias of a journalist who reported the story."
How much of the issue is long replacement cycles? No wonder companies introduce planned obsolescence.
I made a word game while playing with a few ideas, like anonymous usernames and leaderboards. I still poke at some aspects of it. There’s a rare scoring bug I need to isolate and fix. Anyhow, feel free to look. :)

Edit: coming up with a reasonable algorithm for scoring is far more difficult than it looks. I guess most of the word games floating around don't have scoring for a reason.

Ask HN: OSS devs, what are your experiences working with corporate sponsors?
I maintain a fairly large open source PHP SDK [1] (4.6M downloads at the moment) for Amazon's Selling Partner API. The project is about 4 years old at this point.

Amazon just started building their own PHP SDK for the same API (which is incomplete and way behind my library in terms of features/ecosystem), and I opened an issue pointing them at my SDK. I now have a meeting with them next week, and ahead of the meeting I'm curious to hear what other OSS maintainers' experiences have been with collaborating with large companies. Not sure what to expect.
