I mean, you should judge the instructions in the readme and act accordingly, but since it is always possible to trick people into doing actions unfavorable to them, it will always be possible to trick llms in the same ways.

No we're not. Our military and our economy is a shadow of US.

We could be ready to fight if we got rid of dumb politicians and endless bureaucracy, but in current state without US we are nothing.
It’s an apt description of a perennial feature of politics. People have a pain in the foot, so they shoot a hole in it and complain about having a bullet wound.

Is there better, less charged terminology?
> Another part of the project was to move away from Oracle and to PostgreSQL. That change led to various threats and intimidation from the company when it learned of the change, González Waite said. "They told me that the entire passport system of the country was going to fall down" and that it would be his fault that Mexico could not let anyone into or out of the country. "Guess what? That didn't happen."

As one example, I think about how DuckDuckGo was able to grow to a decent size against an impossibly entrenched competitor aided by a large outdoor ad campaigns.

Reddit also grew more rapidly in recent years post-IPO for similar reasons. Reddit used to be more niche with fewer people even knowing it existed.

Knowing alternatives exist is half the battle. This fair comparison you hope people will make is just a hope without the ability to advertise. People have to know all possible alternatives exist in order for the market to be perfectly competitive.
Very realistic, although sometimes I would prefer to be driving when I've been a passenger and it's a complete hold-onto-the-seat experience the whole time :(

Good points, I don't even want a traffic ticket, and had more damage from others' mistakes than mine but it's always costly :\

Uber, too is something I imagine the Beach Boys use today, it has gotten to the point where lots more people couldn't afford a car without the car itself being responsible for making a good share of the income possible, or they have one regardless if they can't survive without it.

It sure didn't used to be that way.
I would deeply love an FTC complaint for false advertising if the box claims it has air frying but attempting to use it in your cabin in the woods doesn't

Show HN: Gobley – Call Rust from Kotlin Multiplatform
Hi Hacker News, we've just released Gobley v0.2.0!

Gobley provides Gradle build integration between Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Cargo for Android, iOS, and JVM. Kotlin/JS and Kotlin/WASM support is planned, so stay tuned!

We also have some documentation for newcomers:
- Hands-on tutorial: https://gobley.dev/docs/tutorial
- Cross-compilation tips to integrate Kotlin, Rust, and C++: https://gobley.dev/docs/cross-compilation-tips
- Cross-platform example app (Android, iOS, Windows API, & Linux GTK): https://github.com/gobley/gobley/tree/main/examples/app/src
- GitHub discussions: https://github.com/gobley/gobley/discussions

Gobley is a fork of the (now archived) uniffi-kotlin-multiplatform-bindings (https://gitlab.com/trixnity/uniffi-kotlin-multiplatform-bind...) which is built on Mozilla’s excellent (still active) UniFFI (https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs) project.

Please try it out and let us know what you think!

Broken record, but "has a CVSS score of 10.0" is literally meaningless. In fact, over the last couple years, I've come to take vulnerabilities with very high CVSS scores less seriously. Remember, Heartbleed was a "7.5".
Ignorant people sometimes have stupid thoughts. This is not an actual problem, or anything that governments or media companies need to fix.

Even under previous Twitter management, there were a lot of verified accounts who weren't celebrities by any reasonable definition. So only a moron would have ever believed that "blue checkmark = celebrity". We can't protect morons from themselves and it's pointless to even try.
The question might be simple and verifiable, but it is not a simple for an LLM to mark a particular question as such. This is the tricky part.

An LLM does not care about your question, it is a bunch of math that will spit out a result based on what you typed in.
"Rushing makes messes." - Uncle Bob Martin
It's really just a literary device in some books he wrote. Navarro's actual ideas being a little crackpot is more of an issue.
There's no such thing as CVE inflation because CVEs don't have scores. You're grumbling about CVSS inflation. But: CVSS has always been flawed, and never should have been taken seriously.
So, in other words, are you saying that AI model progress is the real deal and is not bullshit?

That is, as you point out, "all of the models up to o3-mini-high" give an incorrect answer, while other comments say that OpenAIs later models give correct answers, with web citations. So it would seem to follow that "recent AI model progress" actually made a verifiable improvement in this case.
> Sometimes the founder will apply a cope to the narrative ("We just don't have any PhD level questions to ask")

Please tell me this is not what tech-bros are going around telling each other! Are we implying that the problems in the world, the things that humans collectively work on to maintain the society that took us thousands of years to build up, just aren't hard enough to reach the limits of the AI.

Jesus Christ.
Government announces critical need to invest in AI and sets aside a bunch of money for this purpose.

Suddenly the benchmarks become detached from reality and vendors can claim whatever they want about their "new" products.

Just as a possible explanation, as I feel like I've seen this story before.

Circling the Good: Thomas Nagel on Morality

EU isn't the only entity with regulations and interests. Which creates a lot of conflicts. Like free speech is limited in EU and less so in USA. Should company in USA implement EU restrictions on USA users? What if both EU and USA users are in the same chat. EU is going to go after Mask's other companies. In other words EU plays dirty as usual, just like with Russian's money. Same story with Telegram. At some point it will backfire.
The above poster was fairly obviously using a figure of speech, they did not mean that there was a specific formal evaluation like a mid-year review every hour.

Think about what the average salaried person (especially outside of tech) might get dinged on either explicitly or implicitly.
Come in at 10:00 every day? Not being "seen" enough in your seat or around the office? Not replying quickly enough in Teams/slack? Jira/Github statistics? These are not things that do not reflect a salaried worker's output but you're still getting evaluated by them on an minute by minute, hour by hour, day by ay basis.
Where are the Marxists?
This is less an LLM thing than an information retrieval question. If you choose a model and tell it to “Search,” you find citation based analysis that discusses that he indeed had problems with alcohol. I do find it interesting it quibbles whether he was an alcoholic or not - it seems pretty clear from the rest that he was - but regardless.
This is indicative of something crucial when placing LLMs into a toolkit. They are not omniscient nor are they deductive reasoning tools. Information retrieval systems are excellent at information retrieval and should be used for information retrieval. Solvers are excellent at solving deductive problems. Use them. The better they get at these tasks alone is cool but is IMO a parlor trick since we have nearly optimal or actually optimal techniques that don’t need an LLM. The LLM should use those tools.
So, click search next time you have an information retrieval question.

LLMs aren't good at being search engines, they're good at understanding things. Put an LLM on top of a search engine, and that's the appropriate tool for this use case.

I guess the problem with LLMs is that they're too usable for their own good, so people don't realizing that they can't perfectly know all the trivia in the world, exactly the same as any human.
I don't have a problem with public bodies being on Twitter, but they should definitely be on somewhere else too. They need to be where the people are, and people are going other places.
Authoritarianism is on the rise world wide. Liberalism (Democracy) is clearly on the decline.

Social media with private intelligence is the cause.

Social media is a private and state intelligence goldmine. Those with resources study what is said and craft messages to influence people's actions in real life. They then pay social media to promote these messages and then use all the data collected via rampant surveillance capitalism in order get feedback. That makes campaign successes measurable and therefore tunable. Penalties alone won't be enough to stop right wing or oligarchic movements in Europe or to protect western liberalism. A fine to an oligarch is only a declaration of war, not a meaningful check on power.

China set up the GFW because they realized that they could not subject illiterate subsistence farmer who have never left their home town to foreign interference, so they created a digital border. Yes, it also serves to put down dissent and that is bad, but it also keeps china more stable than it would be otherwise. Even Americans came around and voted to put the first brick in America's own great firewall by voting to ban TikTok. If the founders didn't bend to the current administration, then it would be banned right now for exactly the risk China saw when they implemented their own digital border.

It is not enough to fine when you have no border. Peter Thiel and his Palantir will actively work against European governments with the aid of X and Facebook by offering aid to those who can afford it with money or loyalty, which gives material power to those with selfish goals, who can use them to craft governments more amenable to their goals: Weak, divided, angry, gridlocked, and most importantly de-regulated.

Europe needs a digital border.
The problem is that React's handing of this isn't good if the initial render isn't a match. At the very least it will mess up form fields including browser-saved values. It can also be very expensive.

So even though the client has and wants a different value the correct thing to do according to the React framework is to ensure that the first render perfectly matches the server so that the React state matches the DOM, then immediately re-render with the desired client state. This will be faster (the DOM changes will be minimized rather than completely deleted and recreated) and more correct (preserving DOM state and browser functionality).

In theory React could read the DOM and do a proper diff and make this de-sync less harmful. But this is probably still less efficient then doing a small amount of work to make the first render match (which is basically just building up the virtual DOM to match the real DOM).
Why not have that?

If you manufacture in the Midwest you have a labor force and education institute already oriented toward manufacturing, you have shipping proximity, low wages, and low cost of land and materials.

What are you getting out of the Bay Area in comparison?

SF’s bigger problem is convincing software tech companies (which are far more profitable than advanced manufacturing) to stay rather than leaving for lower cost talent-concentrated areas like Austin, the east coast, the Carolinas, and even offshoring into Costa Rica, Poland, and other hotspots for software talent.

If you hire an entry level software engineer in Ohio or Indiana you can pay them five figures and they’ll buy a single family home for $300,000 or maybe even less.
on the Israeli side I’m guessing
There are real and obvious improvements in the past few model updates and I'm not sure what the disconnect there is.

Maybe it's that I do have PhD level questions to ask them, and they've gotten much better at it.

But I suspect that these anecdotes are driven by something else. Perhaps people found a workable prompt strategy by trial and error on an earlier model and it works less well with later models.

Or perhaps they have a time-sensitive task and are not able to take advantage of the thinking of modern LLMs, which have a slow thinking-based feedback loop. Or maybe their code base is getting more complicated, so it's harder to reason about.

Or perhaps they're giving the LLMs a poorly defined task where older models made assumptions about but newer models understand the ambiguity of and so find the space of solutions harder to navigate.

Since this is ultimately from a company doing AI scanning for security, I would think the latter plays a role to some extent. Security is insanely hard and the more you know about it the harder it is. Also adversaries are bound to be using AI and are increasing in sophistication, which would cause lower efficacy (although you could tease this effect out by trying older models with the newer threats).
Tesla has a factory in Germany. Tariffs are for exports/imports.
Sorry but I fail to comprehend what you are trying to do here. First you say that none of their reasons are philosophical, then a few lines down you go after the person by "I mean that’s just your opinion, not a philosophical stance, and it happens to be a empirically demonstrably false one."

Isn't that exactly what a philosophical stance is? Someone's personal opinion, whether it be right or wrong (in your book). Honestly, I find your response quite rude compared to the general tone of responses on this site.
It's not at all comparable to C++ UB as React says what will happen in this case. But what React does is slow and has bad UX.
I am pretty sure that they must have meant "up through", not "up to", as the answer from o3-mini-high is also wrong in a way which seems to fit the same description, no?
and an even greater threat was from whatever's in people's underwear - that was covered early on [0].

Show HN: I built a Trump filter for RSS feeds
I love RSS feeds - it’s how I keep up with all of my (tech) news. The big downside with RSS though? You get all the articles that are in the feed. And unless your RSS reader of choice offers built-in mute or filter functionality, you’re just stuck with those articles.

So I built RSSfilter.com, a service that filters public RSS feeds, and spits out a new RSS feed without the articles that match keywords or categories you’re not interested in.

A bit adjacent, but I’ve spent some free time the last couple of weeks tearing down and rebuilding a cuckoo clock. I’ve been delighted learning the mechanics of the bellows, the bird, and just clock movements in general.

There’s a great value to curiosity, and I think it’s incredibly important that we nurture it in our society.

Nicely done, Ursula. You’ll get the war you crave so badly.
> Turns out all the cuts are only a fraction of a percent of the federal budget. It's an ideological purge, nothing to do with efficiency at all.

It always ways. It is a media campaign where significant damage is caused to a large number of programs - with the claim that they are cutting expense. But actually none of these cuts will cause any meaningful reduction in government or deficit because these programs never were the big ticket items. The biggest ticket item is tax handouts to the rich. They are not touching that.

Many people can see through this presidential scam. But the MAGA cult is so full of vitriol and hatred for others that they don't see the scam. They don't realize that MAGA voters are themselves being scammed by their beloved Trump.

And thus, we still have always Trumpers. America is just a sad country right now.
Personally I've never discovered anything on Gumroad itself. It's always been from some other source (here on HN, reddit, social media) and then followed a link to Gumroad.

Payments and shipping are precisely the kinds of things that could act as services directly to the creator itself. I thought that was somewhat the point of his conclusion - put these services directly in the hands of the creator.

Otherwise Gumroad is just acting as a payment + shipping wrapper. And if they're replacing what service they had left with AI, what value-add is left exactly?
I don't know if I would use a framework named after something that's by nature unreliable, or even devious.
> No more blind spots, no more missing objects because you were looking in one spot instead of another. No more missing dark objects at night.

Of these, only dark objects at night is related to lidar vs vision. What percent of accidents is attributable to not seeing dark objects at night?

Limited field of view is solved by having a bunch of cameras, that is what is orthogonal to LiDAR vs vision.

I’m open to an argument here, but you have not provided any compelling rebuttal. You apparently feel like you have, though.
The major benefit of a service like Gumroad is they are the merchant of record and handle worldwide taxes for you. Stripe does not do that (yet?)
> LLMs aren't good at being search engines, they're good at understanding things.

LLMs are literally fundamentally incapable of understanding things. They are stochastic parrots and you've been fooled.
It's not surprising that responses are anecdotal. An easy way to communicate a generic sentiment often requires being brief.

A majority of what makes a "better AI" can be condensed to how effective the slope-gradient algorithms are at getting the local maxima we want it to get to. Until a generative model shows actual progress of "making decisions" it will forever be seen as a glorified linear algebra solver. Generative machine learning is all about giving a pleasing answer to the end user, not about creating something that is on the level of human decision making.
This is likely to violate async-signal-safety [1] in any non-trivial program, unless used with extreme care. Running code in between a fork() and an exec() is fraught with peril; it's not hard to end up in a situation where you deadlock because you forked a multi-threaded process where one of the existing threads held a lock at the time of forking, among other hazards.

It's an old idea, as old as at least CGA. Text modes used one byte for attributes, one byte for ascii. But it's still markup and compressing markup into binary is a bad idea in the era of 48-bit address bus.

I like that you were able to succinctly summarize the issues raised here in one sentence and then not understand them in the next sentence

Requiring JS (and especially if you trendchase the latest "modern" crap) is essentially advocating for keeping Big Browser's monopoly and effective control intact.
Can you blame the users for asking it, when everyone is selling that as a key defining feature?

I use it for asking - often very niche - questions on advanced probability and simulation modeling, and it often gets those right - why those and not a simple verifiable fact about one of the most popular actors in history?

I don’t know about Idiocracy, but something that I have read specific warnings about is that people will often blame the user for any of the tool’s misgivings.
Sure. We don't pay tax to you, though. We can be trade buddies.
I don't disagree with your anecdote but most of us aren't consultants, a big part of whose job is maintaining constant contact and alignment with customers and co-workers.
I feel we are already in the era of diminishing returns on LLM improvements. Newer models seem to be more sophisticated implementations of LLM technology + throwing more resources at it, but to me they do not seem fundamentally more intelligent.
Have you even tried talking to developer support?
While “silly” this is likely the next paradigm/abstraction for intent based pages.

You can imagine given 1,000,000 page views just how many experiments could be run. Basically our A/B tests start to resemble natural evolution and survival of the fittest more than decision trees.

However, something feels like it’s missing. I wonder what’s still yet to be built before we arrive at that future.
It could be a compact[0] dimension, i. e. of finite length. In the simplest case you might imagine it as a circle attached to every point in our 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The aforementioned length scale would be the circumference of that circle.

There is no conceivable Supreme Court configuration that would uphold a ban on advertising.

Meanwhile, even the original Central Hudson test --- if commercial speech concerns lawful activity and isn't misleading, the government (1) needs a substantial interest and (2) must narrowly tailor the restriction --- was inhospitable to the sentiment in this blog post. But Central Hudson has as I understand it gotten more restrictive, not less; for instance, Sorrell, which was a bipartisan decision, applies heightened scrutiny to regulations under Central Hudson.

You can keep cigarette ads out of Highlights for Kids. But you're not going to be able to keep Nike from buying up ad inventory, and you'll certainly not be able to regulate political and cause advertising (and "propaganda").
Two places in particular where people need to think about progressive enhancement:

+ Low-powered or -specified devices don't like Javascript-heavy elements. For example, canvas elements - do people with steam-powered mobile phones really need to see that JS-heavy canvas animation? Wouldn't a static image do just as well for them? Same goes for intensely animated SVG scenes.

+ Apple News. JS is not a thing in AN. If you need to press a web article so it can be distributed via AN, be prepared to rip every shred of JS out of it - something that's a lot easier to do if your article has already been built with progressive enhancement in mind.
>taxes for you.

including EU VAT, last I checked.
In the last year, things like "you are an expert on..." have gotten much less effective in my private tests, while actually describing the problem precisely has gotten better in terms of producing results.

In other words, all the sort of lazy prompt engineering hacks are becoming less effective. Domain expertise is becoming more effective.
