41,809,600 | comment | lucasyvas | 2024-10-11T14:08:56 | null | Statically typed languages are in fact so much better nowadays that the industry should drop all dynamic / scripting languages for <i>application development</i><p>That will sadly probably never happen given the momentum they’ve built so the only choice is to retroactively add static typing and begin enforcing it in individual projects.<p>When starting a new project, I would suggest nobody choose a dynamically typed language. Between Swift, Kotlin, C#, Go, Rust, etc… there’s no need for anything else. As long as front end web is around you might need TypeScript - and as long as ML is Python centric you might benefit from using a bit of it. But I wouldn’t make them the primary language.<p>Context: Recovering dynamically typed language addict of 12 years. They’re slow, error prone, and don’t scale to a large engineering team. | null | null | 41,805,604 | 41,801,415 | null | null | null | null |

Which if you read the paper or do your own testing with that SOTA model you will see that the paper is nonsense. With the best models the problems they point out are mostly marginal like one or two percentage points when changing numbers etc.<p>They are taking poor performance of undersized models and claiming that proves some fundamental limitation of large models, even though their own tests show that isn't true. | null | null | 41,809,198 | 41,808,683 | null | [

41,809,605 | comment | cmrdporcupine | 2024-10-11T14:09:14 | null | So much of the "magic" with Prolog and similar relational languages necessarily happens with dynamic data at runtime (especially in a game engine where entities move around, etc so the state of relations changes significantly) I'm not sure how much static you could get with it.<p>That said, there's plenty of research in the DB world on precompiled and JITted query execution plans. All of that would apply to a Prolog or Datalog engine as well.<p>Also, a personal interest of mine I keep wanting to come back to is how much one can make use of GPU and TPU hardware to accelerate the joins that go on in these systems. There are people working in this space already: <a href="https://arxiv.org/html/2311.02206v3" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/html/2311.02206v3</a> but I believe their emphasis is on large scale data sets (e.g. big data graphs) whereas I'm curious to see if there's a way that an approach using HW acceleration could make low latency "OLTP" type applications possible for applications like robotics/vehicle autonomy/games, using complex rule sets.<p>I watch my son play Dwarf Fortress and I'm like... it needs a Prolog. | null | null | 41,807,629 | 41,800,764 | null | null | null | null |
41,809,606 | comment | IIsi50MHz | 2024-10-11T14:09:31 | null | Try enabling Google Photos to automatically upload images from multiple devices to the same account.<p>If Google Photos is low on space, try deleting from Google Photos without causing it to delete from all other devices. Seems to require manually copying all those files to an untracked folder, then deleting from Google Photos.<p>Try managing which folders Google Photos syncs:<p>When it asks to add a newly found folder, the app doesn't give any way to find out where that folder is or what's in it, unless the folder's name only occurs once on the device.<p>Try removing folders from the app ("Whups, didn't mean to backup all the graphic assets of a random app that foolishly doesn't use 'nomedia'!"), where the folder name is not unique. It again gives nothing more than folder names and no indication of where they are or what's in them.<p>Try getting Google Photos to list where every file first came from, so you know where the originals are (for various reasons). | null | null | 41,807,163 | 41,801,334 | null | null | null | null |

I realize they are doing some segmentation in the workflow but imo the valuable part is the actual document text and table extraction piece. Textract in its cheapest and simplest form is cheaper than this service. Turning on tables Textract is more expensive but I would be curious if Textract is doing a better job. | null | null | 41,804,341 | 41,804,341 | null | [

41,809,619 | comment | ekidd | 2024-10-11T14:10:51 | null | Some animals unfortunately pose a threat to human life.<p>Where we live on the Vermont/New Hampshire state line, we've had a several hundred percent increase in problematic black bears over the last 3-4 years. Normally, black bears are "more afraid of us than we are of them", and they avoid human contact. But once they discover that human houses represent food sources, well, they <i>are</i> 250 pound predators.<p>We've had a number of serious incidents in the last decade. A couple of examples:<p>- Woman attacked in her own home, loses eye: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/18/black-bear-attacks-new-hampshire-woman-inside-home" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/18/black-bear-att...</a><p>- A bear ripped a hole into the exterior wall of a kitchen to gain entry. Sorry, I can't find the photo for this right now, but was similar to the exit hole in this article: <a href="https://www.chestertelegraph.org/2024/08/14/plenty-of-bear-sightings-but-not-necessarily-more-bears-in-our-southern-vermont-towns/" rel="nofollow">https://www.chestertelegraph.org/2024/08/14/plenty-of-bear-s...</a><p>Right now, some of our friends are dealing with a black bear that has repeatedly loitered on their porch. They have toddlers, pets and farm animals. And that bear isn't showing much fear of humans at all, which is a serious warning sign.<p>Vermont has asked anyone who encounters an aggressive bear to report it to the game warderns. They have a process for evaluating the situation. But often, the only good answer is for the wardens to shoot the bear. When possible, people would prefer to leave this to the wardens than to shoot the bear themselves.<p>If you live in bear country, remember, "a fed bear is a dead bear." Do not leave food sources where bears can find them, and discover that houses are a food source. When this happens, it puts human safety at risk, and it all too often means the bear will need to be shot by a warden. | null | null | 41,809,224 | 41,809,224 | null | null | null | null |

41,809,622 | comment | 0tfoaij | 2024-10-11T14:11:23 | null | MoE's still require the total number of parameters (46b, not 56b, there's some overlap) to be in ram/vram, but the benefit is that the inference speed will be based on the amount of active parameters used, which in the case of Mixtral is 2 experts at 7b each for an inference speed comparable to 14b dense models. This 3x improvement in inference speed would be worth the additional ram usage alone, especially for cpu inference where memory bandwidth rather than total memory capacity is the limiting factor, but as a bonus there's a general rule you can use calculate how well MoE's will compare to dense models by taking the square root of the active parameters * total parameters, meaning Mixtral ends up comparing favourably to 25b dense models for example. In the case of ARIA it's going to have the memory usage of a 25b model, with the performance of a 10b~ model while running as fast as a 4b model. This is a nice trade off to make if you can spare the additional ram.<p>If it helps, MoE's aren't just disparate 'expert' models trained to deal with specific domain knowledge jammed into a bigger model, but rather are the same base model trained in similar ways where each model ends up specialising on individual tokens. As the image dartos linked shows, you can end up with some 'experts' in the model that really, really like placing punctuation or language syntax for whatever reason. | null | null | 41,808,098 | 41,804,829 | null | null | null | null |

41,809,624 | comment | CM30 | 2024-10-11T14:11:43 | null | The thing with captchas is that they're basically security by obscurity; the less sites/services use one, the less spam will get through. That's because if you're someone like Google or Facebook, the payoff for writing bots specifically to crack their anti spam measures is huge, while the same isn't true of the average blog/forum/wiki.<p>So a homemade solution like the one in your post works fine for many sites. The bots written for forms without captchas can't solve it, and their developers won't waste the time changing the script to fix that, because it's not worth the effort.<p>If your site/service becomes extremely popular on the other hand... you'll need a more robust anti spam solution. And given how thoroughly things like Recaptcha have been cracked, those won't cut it there either. | null | null | 41,785,574 | 41,785,574 | null | null | null | null |

Just wanted something more accessible to laypeople?<p>C) “offline first” seems hard to match up with “progressive web app” — not from any sort of user perspective (sounds ideal, even!), just in terms of technical implementation. Am I correct in assuming that the iOS and android versions are PWAs, and that they still durably store files on device? If so, how hard was that?<p>D) “all major platforms: iOS/macOS/Android/Windows” made me shed a brief tear.

I'm still in high/secondary school, but I love tech/ai and building helpful (well, trying to) projects.<p>I recently released PainPoint.Pro, a new way to find consumer pain points and product ideas - I got a pretty decent response with about 3K visits to my site, I did not stop there though, I kept iterating and adding new features much requested by some awesome people here giving me feedback. Here's what it does and why I built it:<p>So, I noticed all these indie hackers scraping Reddit and X for product ideas. But I thought, why not look somewhere else? Somewhere with tons of opinions and complaints...<p>YouTube comments.<p>People are always complaining in the comments or voicing their opinion, think about MKBHD's videos, people are always pointing out the negatives of the tech he reviews.<p>That's why I created PainPoint.Pro. Here's what it does:<p>You give it a YouTube video URL (We have search functionality if you can't be bothered to open youtube)
It scans all the comments.
You get a neat report with:<p>Common complaints grouped together
Ideas for products to solve these issues
Highlighting of comments where people are saying "I wish there was a" or "I would pay for" etc etc
Most negative comments
A search function for all the comments
We give 1 free credit, try it out and lmk your thoughts! :)<p>However, If one Youtube video is not enough:<p>Enter a Youtube niche, eg tech or sports
It scans (up to) 10 videos in that niche to give you an even better report (This will be increased very soon just currently scaling my infrastructure)
You get the full report like mentioned above
What I learned from this is the importance of speed, and using the best tools to accelerate your development. With the tools right now you can 10X your speed allowing you to ship all of your ideas to a high quality standard every 1-3 weeks, this was never possible before and I’m still juggling secondary/highschool.<p>Social proof is also much needed, so any constructive feedback is<p>If you want to see my full journey in building amazing (at least trying to) products, I am very active on X - <a href="https://x.com/ardeved" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/ardeved</a> - Send me a message here if you have any queries!<p>I have 53 ideas in my notepad (12 are stupid) which I will work on soon, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on my latest project - <a href="https://painpoint.pro" rel="nofollow">https://painpoint.pro</a>! | https://painpoint.pro | 1 | null | 41,809,631 | 0 | null | null | null |

It seems like other catastrophized topics are much greater points of passion.<p>>When Twitter pretends to be powerless to do anything about death/rape threats to women journalists, the light of civilization is dimmed, ever so slightly. When entire classes of people disengage from mainstream discourse because they are being threatened by bodily harm, maybe it is possible that it is disingenuous to pre-conclude that anything possibly resembling censorship will result in a dystopian police state where African Americans are still denied the right to vote.<p>Would you honestly be willing to work or discuss politely with someone that endorsed the ideas behind James Damore's memo?

41,809,649 | comment | ttul | 2024-10-11T14:14:37 | null | I respectfully disagree.<p>While tokenization certainly plays a role in how language models process input, it's simplistic to attribute the challenges in mathematical reasoning solely to tokenization.<p>SOTA language models don't just rely on individual token predictions, but build up contextual representations across multiple layers. This allows them to capture higher-level meaning beyond simple token-to-token relationships. If this weren’t the case, it would be inconceivable that models would work at all in all but the most utterly simplistic scenarios.<p>The decline in performance as complexity increases might be due to other factors, such as:<p>- Limitations in working memory or attention span
- Difficulty in maintaining coherence over longer sequences
- Challenges in managing multiple interdependent logical constraints simultaneously (simply due to the KQV matrices being too small)<p>And in any case, I think OpenAI’s o1 models are crushing it in math right now. The iterative, model-guided CoT approach seems to be able to handle very complex problems. | null | null | 41,809,557 | 41,808,683 | null | [

You generally don’t get the feeling of “now it gets it”, and instead it tends to feels more like someone with no real understanding (but very good memory of relevant material) trying to bullshit-technobabble around the issue. | null | null | 41,809,441 | 41,808,683 | null | [

What makes it worse is that there is usually no way to know because they cannot even get to talk to someone. I understand that fraud detection people don't want to let their methods public but this became the norm for most/all companies. | null | null | 41,809,449 | 41,808,917 | null | null | null | null |
41,809,697 | comment | hackinthebochs | 2024-10-11T14:20:25 | null | LLMs aren't totally out of scope of mathematical reasoning. LLMs roughly do two things, move data around, and recognize patterns. Reasoning leans heavily on moving data around according to context-sensitive rules. This is well within the scope of LLMs. The problem is that general problem solving requires potentially arbitrary amounts of moving data, but current LLM architectures have a fixed amount of translation/rewrite steps they can perform before they must produce output. This means most complex reasoning problems are out of bounds for LLMs so they learn to lean heavily on pattern matching. But this isn't an intrinsic limitation to LLMs as a class of computing device, just the limits of current architectures. | null | null | 41,809,347 | 41,808,683 | null | null | null | null |

41,809,699 | comment | debacle | 2024-10-11T14:20:26 | null | As someone who lives in New York, I don't understand why Cormorants get so much hate from bass fishermen. There can't really be that much pressure from cormorants on the small mouth fisheries. Cormorants are beautiful birds and the idea that they are a pest is...pretty dumb. | null | null | 41,809,224 | 41,809,224 | null | null | null | null |
