I agree, I was not even expecting it to handle the resize well. I just thought the landing page wanted me to resize my window to test responsiveness (before I noticed that the animation itself changes the content area size).

That being said, when resizing a window, the scrollbar should not reset/jump to top. At the very least, it should revert to what it was when going back to full size.
Your comment will rattle a few cages here but I honestly think about this all the time, as one of the minority of music educators around HN. The blind spots (or perhaps a STEM vs STEAM upbringing) are unfortunate. We are possibly the only — or one of an incredibly small number of — species that even makes sounds solely for enjoyment and aesthetics. The humanities are what make us us.
I've never heard that. I don't think many people migrate for specific industries. People migrate to have any job and some income, regardless of industry. Am I not thinking of some population?

The emotional valence of a policy does actually matter, since you have to sell it to voters (or whoever is in charge in a society). Technocratic governance is not a stable way to run society, as the last 30 years have shown. Any political agenda with a hope of being enacted needs to stir the heart in order to have any hope competing against others. The fact that a policy is provably a good idea and would make everyone better off in a theoretical world where everyone went along with it, is not even necessary let alone sufficient for it to become a real policy.

> Obviously a horrible hideous theft machine.

I mean... If I go to Google right now and do an image search for "archeologist adventurer who wears a hat and uses a bullwhip," the first picture is a not-even-changed image of Indiana Jones. Which I will then copy and paste into whatever project I'm working on without clicking through to the source page (usually because the source page is an ad-ridden mess).

Perhaps the Internet itself is the hideous theft machine, and AI is just the most efficient permutation of user interface onto it.

(Incidentally, if you do that search, you will also, hilariously, turn up images of an older gentleman dressed in a brown coat and hat who is clearly meant to be "The Indiana Jones you got on Wish" from a photo-licensing site. The entire exercise of trying to extract wealth via exclusive access to memetic constructs is a fraught one).
What's wrong with just calling them smart algorithmic models?

Being smart allows somewhat to be wrong, as long as that leads to a satisfying solution. Being intelligent on the other hand requires foundational correctness in concepts that aren't even defined yet.

EDIT: I also somewhat like the term imperative knowledge (models) [0]

A more reasonable application of Occam's razor is that humans also don't meet the definition of "intelligence". Reasoning and perception are separate faculties and need not align. Just because we feel like we're making decisions, doesn't mean we are.

Well, they've recently (afaict last September) nerfed the client API - my local updater used to fetch 5000 URLs at a time from the API (worked for ~9 years) but now it's 30 returned max per request with tighter rate limits and it'll also randomly just not bother to return any results or a 500 or a 404 regardless of rate limits.

Yeah, rationality is a bug of our brain, not a feature. Our brain just grew so much that now we can even use it to evaluate maths and logical expressions. But it's not its primary mode of operation.
If your country outlaws slavery and child labor, but imports freely (i.e. without tariffs) from countries which allows it, why does your country even have those laws? It’s certainly not to protect children or people from slavery; they’ve just exported the negative effects to other countries.

<< The Panama papers, the Double Irish sandwich, and the US government pressuring the EU not to tax American tech companies all say otherwise.

It is an interesting argument to make. Given current efforts to reshuffle existing system, those may no longer be available. Let me ask you a hypothetical instead: if those 'ways' are gone, is it automatically a given that new ones will emerge? If yes, why? If no, why?

<< Trump has proposed a green-card-inspired

I don't want to write too much of an obvious comment, but.. how is it different from existing pre-Trump green cards sold to interested parties ( with lower price tag, but I am not asking about the price )? Is the existence of the card proof that capital has no borders or of something else? Is it inherent? I am now genuinely curious about your internal world model.
Bostock applies to Title 7. The reasoning is that discrimination based on sexuality or gender identity is sex discrimination, which can be applied to other laws like the FHA but this is not established federally and the Trump administration is currently in legal fights explicitly in opposition to this position. So I do not think that it is fair to say that Bostock prevents renters from being evicted based on their gender identity or sexuality.

[Here](https://www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/removing-gender-ideology-and-r...) is an EEOC's "literal directive" pulling back on relevant cases. If you want specific cases then [this article](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eeoc-transgender-discrimination...) references specific ongoing cases that have been dropped by the EEOC.

And I do think the ability to have consenting and private intercourse without being imprisoned is a human right. I did not expect that this would be controversial.
Don't we? Particle physics provides such a model. There is a bit of difficulty in scaling the calculations, but it is sort of like the basic back propagation in a neural network. How <insert modern AI functionality> arises from back propagation and similar seems compared to how human behavior arises from particle physics, in that neither our math nor models can predict any of it.

the article ends with a FUD statement about certain products bieng no longer financialy viable in the world market due to them bieng priced out of the US, and insuficient demand, elsewhere.
This can only be accepted if there is no question about the obscene profits generated by all large manufacturers, where "not financisly viable" means
double digit profit and growth, rather than actualy unprofitable.
If there is real demand, and no way for large established industrys to meet it, then this will spur the creation of countless small manufacturers.,..............everywhere.

In many cases if you lose your physical wallet, someone else will find it and the cash will stay in circulation, but even if not, as physical currency is much more inflationary it's no big deal.

The second point is that most people keep a lot less money in a physical wallet, usually no more than say a few hundred dollars. Whereas a bitcoin wallet will often contain thousands or more so is more akin to a bank account.
Actually very unlikely unless Congress passes a bill.
> What's the model supposed to do? It's just doing what many human artists would do, if they're not explicitly being paid to create new IP.

Not really? Why would a human artist create a faithful reproduction of Indiana Jones when asked to paint an archeologist? And besides, if they did, it would be considered clear IP infringement if the result were used commercially.

> If infringement is happening, it arguably doesn't happen when an infringing work product is generated (or regurgitated, or whatever you want to call it.) Much less when the model is trained. It's when the output is used commercially -- by a human -- that the liability should rightfully attach.

I agree. Release groups, torrent sites and seedbox operators should not be wrongly accused of pirating movies. Piracy only occurs in the act of actually watching a movie without paying, and should not be prosecuted without definitive proof of such (¬‿¬)

The models outlined in the white paper have a training step that uses reinforcement learning _without human feedback_. They're referring to this as "outcome-based RL". These models (DeepSeek-R1, OpenAI o1/o3, etc) rely on the "chain of thought" process to get a correct answer, then they summarize it so you don't have to read the entire chain of thought. DeepSeek-R1 shows the chain of thought and the answer, OpenAI hides the chain of thought and only shows the answer. The paper is measuring how often the summary conflicts with the chain of thought, which is something you wouldn't be able to see if you were using an OpenAI model. As another commenter pointed out, this kind of feels like a jab at OpenAI for hiding the chain of thought.

The "chain of thought" is still just a vector of tokens. RL (without-human-feedback) is capable of generating novel vectors that wouldn't align with anything in its training data. If you train them for too long with RL they eventually learn to game the reward mechanism and the outcome becomes useless. Letting the user see the entire vector of tokens (and not just the tokens that are tagged as summary) will prevent situations where an answer may look or feel right, but it used some nonsense along the way. The article and paper are not asserting that seeing all the tokens will give insight to the internal process of the LLM.
As an example, some repositories have huge documents (in some cases a few MBs) that agents won't process today. GitMCP offers semantic search out of the box.

Protectionism is like child rearing. You're trying to protect the young (industry) so they survive to adulthood. The tarrifs are too broad.

Or scales sub-linearly with hardware. When you're in the rising portion of an S-curve[1] you can't tell how much longer it will go on before plateauing.

A lot of this resembles post-war futurism that assumed we would all be flying around in spaceships and personal flying cars within a decade. Unfortunately the rapid pace of transportation innovation slowed due to physical and cost constraints and we've made little progress (beyond cost optimization) since.

And why are Altman's words worth anything? Is he some sort of great thinker? Or a leading AI researcher, perhaps?

No. Altman is in his current position because he's highly effective at consolidating power and has friends in high places. That's it. Everything he says can be seen as marketing for the next power grab.
This isn't surprising in any way is it? And it just goes to show that no model will ever be a box from which you can trust the output isn't tainted by copyrights, or that you don't inadvertently use someones' likeness. It's not a copyright laundering machine. Nor will it be used as one. "But I used an AI model" isn't some magic way to avoid legal trouble. You are in as much legal trouble using these images as you are using the "originals".
Yeah, the stopping drugs thing is just performative propaganda. It’s really about the money, and the attempt to punish China (which will in fact mostly hurt Americans as much or more, anyways). If it were about the drugs only, there wouldn’t be such punitive measures, and the press release wouldn’t mention the fact that China doesn’t have a de minimus exception.
I’m glad that works for you and your family. For me, I thrive from taking breaks during the day with my family and having the ability to catch up and work when the ideas hit me.

>that's what discriminated unions (aka product types aka algebraic data types)

Just an FYI, discriminated unions are not product types, they are sum types. It's named so because the total number of possibilities is the sum of the number of possibilities for each variant.

Ex. A sum type Color is a PrimaryColor (Red, Blue, Yellow) OR a SecondaryColor (Purple, Green, Orange), the total number of possibilities is 3 + 3 = 6.

For a product type, if a ColorPair is a PrimaryColor AND a SecondaryColor, the total number of possibilities is 3 * 3 = 9

Both sum types and product types are algebraic types, in the same way that algebra includes both sums and products.

For the standard library, I'm curious for the family of TryParse kind of functions, since those are well modeled by a sum type. Maybe adding an overload without an `out` argument would give you back a DU to `switch` on

It was, but I wonder to what extent it is based on the idea that a chain of thought in humans shows how we actually think. If you have chain of thought in your head, can you use it to modify what you are seeing, have it operate twice at once, or even have it operate somewhere else in the brain? It is something that exists, but the idea it shows us any insights into how the brain works seems somewhat premature.
The politics are important, and that effort must continue, but also directly targeting conservative voters economically. When they have distressed assets to sell, farmland, homes, businesses, I am ready to buy at a substantial discount. I have prepared to lever up with access to debt for this opportunity, and I recommend others who can do so. I want to buy when there is blood in the streets (economically), but only taking from those who caused this.

This is not true for something like China [1].

The counter-topic is usually Labor. You very much cannot just go to the US and work but you could from China invest in a US company. So Capital knows no borders while Labor does.

"Brain drain" is a always hot topic in my country. Many people from here move to the US for access to certain industries, tech included. They aren't going there to do whatever arbitrary work they can find.

Those in the US who love manufacturing aren't moving to China, but that's the issue: They, unless they have something really unique to offer, are going to find it difficult to. Hence why they want to see that work "brought home".
