How does queue observability work in hatchet? I've used pg as a queueing system before, and that was one of my favorite aspects. Just run a few SQL queries to have a dashboard for latency/throughput/etc.

But that requires you to keep the job history around, which at scale starts to impact performance.
I guess the best explanation for what we're witnessing is the notion that 'Money Talks', and sadly nothing more. To think thats all that fair use activists lacked in years passed..

> This in a nutshell is why I hate that all this stuff is being labeled as AI.

It's literally the name of the field. I don't understand why (some) people feel so compelled to act vain about it like this.

Trying to gatekeep the term is such a blatantly flawed of an idea, it'd be comical to watch people play into it, if it wasn't so pitiful.

It disappoints me that this cope has proliferated far enough that garbage like "AGI" is something you can actually come across in literature.
If OpenAI is ok with this then they should be ok with sharing their code and models so that others can profit from their work (without giving anything back to OpenAI).
Lots of time to make up for causing the largest market drop since COVID as well. Hopefully you're right and everything will be fine.
Yeah, I agree. But what is that reason?
You're assuming life after the journey was guaranteed to be better, but not all colonists and immigrants happened to head to the world's future superpower.

Every decision is potentially committing descendants to the consequences of that choice (and to wit: life aboard a generation ship hardly need be a miserable or undesirable one, at the size of say, a large town and surrounding hinterland you have as much or more opportunity as anyone else at most times in history - I think generation ships force us to confront uncomfortable questions about what is the meaning of life on Earth which we try to sweep aside by deciding they're an impossible moral burden).

> what you are describing are republicans of the past

I know it seems that way but it has always seemed that way. Republicans talk about Democrats of the past (southern Democrats). Democrats talk about Republicans of the past (Lincoln). This feeling isn't new.

> Two of the shared valued were peaceful transition of power and respect for the rule of law / division of power between executive, legislative and judiciary.

Re: peaceful transition of power the Republicans insist (whether true or not) that January 6th was peaceful. The value is still there. Re: the rule of law, Republicans claim they are abiding by the law. (Are they not?) The value is still there. Division of power is certainly coming under question with the actions of DOGE, but I don't think the mere existence of DOGE is evidence that Republicans don't value the division of power. Some of these things aren't immediately obvious to everyone, especially if they are determined to be legal (whether we like the law or not).

We must resist the urge to demonize and dehumanize the opposition. That is exactly what is happening: even with our comments and upvotes we are collectively deciding that the opposition is out of their minds and are increasingly a foe to be vanquished. That is, frankly, stupidity of the masses.
Ironically, many elite universities are actually either free or nearly free, for lower-income students. The super-rich probably don't care. While we middle-class families don't qualify for need-based aid, and are on the hook to pay outrageous sums, largely to subsidize the aid for others.
I've installed Windows 98 via DMF images using a FlashFloppy flashed Gotek on an Amiga 3000 running PC-Task, in part just to see if I could. The Gotek made it worlds easier than if I had been using real floppy disks, I'm sure.

Ha! When I was first learning to program in high school, I wrote a 'distributed monkeys-on-typewriters' simulator. I somehow acquired a stack of surplus Pentium 100s that I had running in an unused closet at the school, communicating with each other over IPX. I remember the server had a fun 'Guess-operations-per-second' (GOPS) realtime display.

I love reading literate-programming software! The problem is that very few programmers are as skilled at writing clearly as are Knuth and Dijkstra. I think I read somewhere that book publishers receive thousands of manuscripts for each one they publish. Likewise, few programmers can write prose worth reading.
Next time you get too many story points assigned on a sprint, cross-check your manager.
I see what you are saying at some level - but for a laptop form factor (which is already inherently larger since it has keyboard and larger screen) wouldn't it make more sense to at minimum have a few super dense robot made boards all integrated ?

Maybe you have the main motherboard with CPU, RAM, and possibly GPU all together. Save space - integrate bigger and better batteries.

Swappable storage though seems like a no brainer (especially because even the fastest SSDs don't require the kind of latency and link speed soldered RAM might). A modern card type slot for peripherals seems like a damn nice addition too along with the ability to swap the WiFi chip.

Hell I would even settle for an easily swapped mobo with soldered parts if I wanted to upgrade down the line - a good screen and keyboard and chassis can last a long time !
> They aren't references to internal concepts, the model is not aware that it's doing anything so how could it "explain itself"?

I can't believe we're still going over this, few months into 2025. Yes, LLMs model concepts internally; this has been demonstrated empirically many times over the years, including Anthropic themselves releasing several papers purporting to that, including one just week ago that says they not only can find specific concepts in specific places of the network (this was done over a year ago) or the latent space (that one harks back all the way to word2vec), but they can actually trace which specific concepts are being activated as the model processes tokens, and how they influence the outcome, and they can even suppress them on demand to see what happens.

State of the art (as of a week ago) is here: https://www.anthropic.com/news/tracing-thoughts-language-mod... - it's worth a read.

> The words that are coming out of the model are generated to optimize for RLHF and closeness to the training data, that's it!

That "optimize" there is load-bearing, it's only missing "just".

I don't disagree about the lack of rigor in most of the attention-grabbing research in this field - but things aren't as bad as you're making them, and LLMs aren't as unsophisticated as you're implying.

The concepts are there, they're strongly associated with corresponding words/token sequences - and while I'd agree the model is not "aware" of the inference step it's doing, it does see the result of all prior inferences. Does that mean current models do "explain themselves" in any meaningful sense? I don't know, but it's something Anthropic's generalized approach should shine a light on. Does that mean LLMs of this kind could, in principle, "explain themselves"? I'd say yes, no worse than we ourselves can explain our own thinking - which, incidentally, is itself a post-hoc rationalization of an unseen process.

How to prompt a conversational AI system
Does it matter if they did or didn't? Universities have indisputably lost the mandate of heaven, have they not? Arguing over whether they actually did any of those things is irrelevant, if a politically powerful group of people think they did! None of them have an objective definition, so it's going to come down to values, and universities / academics as a class have alienated themselves from a substantial portion of the population.
Part of the smoothness here is that scrolling the text is 1:1 once you get down to the sections with colored headers. It demonstrates that it's possible to make a page look fancy like that without "breaking" your intuition of what scrolling "should be."

JS animations obviously don't take the place of video/audio media that you'd play/scrub through.
Doesn't matter what the left said previously, what matters is that the Trump Administration is behaving in an autocratic manner. Godwin's law has been abused online since forever, but you can just draw a comparison with Putin's ascent to autocratic rule in Russia.
> I'm interested in this as a faster intervention than QE.

But BI / UBI's usual argument is that because it would be long term and reliable, it would allow the recipients to make long term choices. Such as taking on an occupation they like rather than one that pays better.

If you make this an intervention medium, you loose this predictability.

The intervention style you discuss has been used during the Covid crisis: just mail checks to people based on last known year income. That's always available. It's not a question of basic income.
Ok - not wrong at all. Now take that feedback and put it in a prompt back to the LLM.

They’re very good at honing bad code into good code with good feedback. And when you can describe good code faster than you can write it - for instance it uses a library you’re not intimately familiar with - this kind of coding can be enormously productive.
No offense to johnecheck, but I'd expect an LLM to be able to raise the same counterargument.

VAT is like a sales-tax but along the supply chain (with credits) - so it's like a complicated sales-tax.

If you want to use that for argument, you should include US sales taxes in the calculation too. Which could be fair, I guess.

> You believe it is only the people currently working in manufacturing that want to see America create more manufacturing jobs?

I think working people [edit: a very general, loaded term] want higher-paying jobs, and some of them think manufacturing is good solution. I doubt their dream is working on the assembly line - that's not what people grow up dreaming of, or quit their higher-paying jobs to do.

Political leaders push manufacturing jobs for one reason or another. And I expect much of the support is from unions that want more jobs for their members - so yes, that's people currently in manufacturing.

Is there really demand for manufacturing jobs from the rest of the labor force, rather than any higher-paying, stable job? I don't know.
"Disappeared" does strongly imply that those people are dead, because that's what usually to happen to people that the government decides to kidnap.

But then, that's what usually happen to the people that the government decides to kidnap. So the OP's usage is perfectly correct, and the expectation that those people are dead should exist. Including the people that we know that were sent to the concentration camp, because despite nobody claiming it's an extermination camp the leading one does strongly tend to morph into the later.
_A Discipline of Programming_
Soon, the only thing that will make "Ready Player One" a fiction is that, in the end of the movie, they agree to shut the thing down once in a while.

That will never happen under Silicon Valley's watch.
Dedicated memory isn't the issue. Increase DRAM on your card and your bandwidth goes down; increase the bandwidth and your price increases reciprocally. The solution isn't to just solder more memory anywhere it fits, these are well-paid engineers that are working to optimize a complex problem space. The Chinese board fluxers are working with a different class of hardware that regularly ships with dark silicon, binned hardware and die-chopped configurations.

You'll note that Apple didn't just immediately resume shipping systems with 1.5TB of RAM when they revised their own system architecture. It's taken them half a decade to recoup a third of that capacity at the VRAM-level speeds they require to unify the GPU and CPU's memory.
So far none of the imaginary economic systems seem to work as well as capitalism when it comes to raising human living standards. These vague, low-effort criticisms are getting tiresome.
USAID absolutely is an element of the "deep state" in the countries in which it operates.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZunZuneo

Even if without cover CIA involvement, they operates parallel social services that don't answer to a foreign government to advance a foreign governments priorities.

Every Pakistani I talked to (living in Pakistan) has a negative view USAID and foreign NGOs. Why do you think that would be?
This is absolutely shocking. As these tariffs are reflective of trade deficits this administration is taxing the cheapest sources of goods for the American economy in proportion of volume.

This is economic handbrake territory. It will impact every industry that imports goods (as well as many raw materials and components) and will devestate many, if not all SMEs who rely on importing goods to sell to local customers. Fashion retail in particular and drop shippers will have to raise their prices considerably.

While I imagine the ideas behind these tariffs have some sense of justification, the numbers simply don't add up. Manufacturing clothing in the US simply isn't viable at the sorts of scales for mass consumption. For example, you can pick up Levis at Walmart for around $25 that have been manufactured abroad. The Levi Vintage run, which are made within the US, have prices starting at $150. So all this will do is force people will less money to spend an extra ~50% (or $12.5 in this case) on their jeans, as this will still be cheaper than $150. Obviously to entirely succeed at the supposed aim would to create a world where all jeans cost $150 and this would simply mean that most people would not be able to afford jeans.
While you broadly make a great point, there are psychological dimensions to take into consideration. Some people's personalities are more inclined toward tribalistic thinking and will extend their capacity for empathy only toward their own in-group, while others are capable of expanding the "in-group" to include all of humanity. So while it may be true to say that Republicans care about human rights, it is more accurate to say they care about their OWN human rights, and not the rights of people outside their in-group.

If you want to remove the political labeling from this statement, about 30% of the population "thinks" (or, rather, does not think, but acts) this way, and it is important to realize that the motivating factor differs between them and the other type of human, who cares about people in the abstract.
>I'm not convinced that AI will ever be good enough to think independently a

>Why do you believe that?

What takes less effort, time to deploy, and cost? I mean there is at least some probability we kill ourselves off with dangerous semi-thinking war machines leading to theater scale wars to the point society falls apart and we don't have the expensive infrastructure to make AI as envisioned in the future.

With that said, I'm in the camp that we can create AGI as nature was able to with a random walk, we'll be able to reproduce it with intelligent design.

Hey HN! My wife and I built SurveySync, an AI-powered tool to help founders and researchers run faster, better surveys.

It helps you:
• Write high-quality surveys from simple prompts (“I want to validate this product idea”)
• Get AI feedback on your drafts before launch
• Analyze responses and extract insights automatically

We’re not a respondent provider (yet!) – SurveySync is a platform for creating and managing surveys. You can distribute your surveys via email, social, or other channels you already use.
T420 is an awesome machine but damn do modern laptops have better cooling and battery life.

I remember when google news was fined be the EU for just linking and using some preview + trailer text to actual news websites. The news are owned by a few monopolies and they don't like giving up control.

I received so many Copyright and DMCA takedowns for early youtube videos posted in the early 2010's for no reason except some background music blaring a hit. It had millions of views and NO ADs. Now the ad-infested copies with whatever tricks they use can still be found, while my videos predating all had to be deleted. Google. You like their product? Don't like it too much, it may cease to exist, or maybe just for you for arbitrary reasons and simultaneously remove your access to hundreds of websites via their monopoly on Single-Sign-On.

Then there are those takedown notices for honest negative reviews on Google Maps by notorious companies having accumulated enough money via scams that they now can afford to hire lawyers. These lawyers use their tools and power to manipulate the factual scoring into a "cleansed one".

OpenAI seriously has not received any court orders from all the movie studios in the world? How is that even possible?

I previously posted in a comment that I have video evidence with a friend being eye witness how OpenAI is stealing data. How? Possibly by abusing access granted by Microsoft.

Who is still defending OpenAI and why? There are so many highly educated and incredibly smart people here, this is one of the most glaring and obvious hardcore data/copyright violations, yet OpenAI roams free. It's also the de-facto most ClosedAI out there.

OpenAI is:
- Accessing private IP & data of millions of organisations
- Silencing and killing whitleblowers like Boing
- Using $500B tax-payer money to produce closed source AI
- Founder has lost it and straight up wants to raise trillion(s)

For each of these claim there is easily material that can be linked to prove it, but some like ChatGPT and confuse the usefulness of it with the miss-aligned and bad corporate behaviour of this multi-billion dollar corporation.
Don't confuse designing the product with winning the market.
I think this is the case with real engineering companies. My wife works at Rijkswaterstaat, and there engineers bear direct responsibility for projects that are worth lives, and they can make important decisions about those projects for that reason. For example, a couple of years ago an engineer closed a bridge because of a lack of maintenance. Big scandal about the bridge getting closed, but the real scandal was that maintenance was so far behind. Turned out the engineer had warned about this several times before, but somehow those messages didn't arrive at the people in charge of planning and funding maintenance. So that was the process that really needed fixing (and the bridge, of course).
> Europe had been on fire off and on for hundreds of years.

The point was that armed conflicts also happened on North American soil (even if consider only USA soil) for long time, so not so different for what happened in Europe. The last period of peace is as much an exception for one as it is for the other given a significant part of the history of the continents.

Also, if we think of countries, there were various European countries that did not participate in or had fights on their territory, during neither WWI or WWII (Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain) and some of those did not have a war on their soil for similar as USA ...
It stops being a feature and becomes a bug bordering on retardation when they purposefully ship broken software.

First example coming to mind, TLS is broken in the version of OpenSMTPD that ships with Debian Stable.

Yes you read that correctly.

The version of OpenSMTPD in Debian Stable does not have functioning TLS. It's also not well documented why this is, things just don't work and you are forced to discover why.

It has to do with a broken dependency on their ancient version of OpenSSL. They refuse to patch it because muh stability - it requires a version jump. So you are forced to jump through hoops and install a newer version from backports if you expect TLS to work on your SMTP server.
And zero tariff for his dear friend putin. Insane!
The X Series was always their cutting edge compact models - makes sense they would be as reliable. Personally I always like the T series as they were total tanks (considered mid range at the time).
Whole page is gone now?
It might be. But is there any hint that there are things we can absolutely not simulate?

I think there’s a good chance we won’t be able to simulate a exact propagation of a brain into the future due to quantum effects and unknowable starting states, but I don’t see how simulating one possible future could be impossible.
Specialized is manufacturing in Taiwan (i.e. they use Merida IIRC?), but Trek manufactures at least partly in China AFAIK, Canyon frames are made in China (unless things changed recently).

Generally, many brands like e.g. Trek manufacture their highest end in Taiwan, but a lot of the mid- to high-level frames are still made in China, admittedly things might have changed since I last looked into this ~5 years ago.

Given enough time (... a surprisingly short amount) and enough people creating art (say, about as many as we have had for the last couple hundred years) and indefinitely-long-lived recording, plus very-long copyright terms, the inevitable result is that it's functionally impossible to create anything within the space of "things people like" that's not violating copyright, for any but the strictest definitions of what constitutes copying.

The short story treats of music, but it's easy to see how visual arts and fiction-writing and the rest get at least extremely crowded in short order under those circumstances.
