Sonnigeszeug··on Using physics simulations to find targeting strategies in tenpin bowling
One has a source, the other is a figure of speech without a source.
Sonnigeszeug··on Using physics simulations to find targeting strategies in tenpin bowling
Its a physics paper and not a news paper article.

I do assume that the notion is used and also implies the 'resolution'/'precision' of that number.

Sonnigeszeug··on Gemini 2.5 Flash
Whats your setup/workflow then?

Any ide integration?

Sonnigeszeug··on Microsoft researchers developed a hyper-efficient AI model that can run on CPUs
Comparing Zoom and Nvidia is just not valid at all.

Was the crazy revaluation of Nvidia wild? Yes.

Will others start taking contracts away with their fast inferencing custom solutions? yes of course but im sure everyone is aware of it.

What is very unclear is, how strong Nvidia is with their robot platform.

I didn't. Someone else did.

I clarified the effort and that we all should do it because we are probably the best people to do so.

Sonnigeszeug··on GPT o3 frequently fabricates actions, then elaborately justifies these actions
I'm arguing that this is to simple of an explanation.

The claude paper showed, that it has some internal model when answering in different languages.

The process of learning can have effects in it, which is more than statistics. IF the training itself optimizes itself by having a internal model representation, than its no longer just statistics.

It also sounds like that humans are the origin of intelligence, but if humans do the same thing as LLM, and the only difference is, that we do not train LLMs from scratch (letting them discover the world, letting them inventing languages etc. but priming them with our world), than our intelligence was emergent and the LLMs one by proxy.

Sonnigeszeug··on Tell HN: Warning Google trains on your data when using aistudio.google.com
I find it a lot worse that Gemini on Google Workspace is allowed to use your data when you don't pay for it but not when you pay for it.

This is such a hard troublesome thing, i disabled the integration for it asap

Dude... i'm a software engineere in germany.

I create new accounts because i spend too much time on hn...

I suggest to download stuff because i assume people on HN are well equiped to check it out.

Click yourself some cheap vm in the cloud, download it, check it out. Cost involved? $10

Do you expect journalists with less it knowledge to do this? I mean yeah they can and should but people on hn should do too

Sonnigeszeug··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
This goes for me in direction of civil service tbh. and if someone should do something and support, this is the thing we should do.

If people on hn, knowing how things work, are skiddisch, what normal people will do? even less.

Sonnigeszeug··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
Cloud VM. Costs you a dollar per hour and has fast download speed.

We are experts on HN. If we don't do it, others with less knowledge might or not might.

And no, a archive file doesn't just include a zero day. A zero day is very valuable.

So always wait for others to do something?

Don't just download it on your windows home pc with your private data of course.

Sonnigeszeug··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
Who if not people / experts reading on hn?

Click yourself any server anywhere, download it, analyse it, share your findings.

Sonnigeszeug··on CVE program faces swift end after DHS fails to renew contract [updated]
Its not a money problem, its a understanding problem.

Shouldn't the most powerful country has something like this? Being even in the forefront of it?

The USA was doing cyberprotection against Russia and cyberattacks across the world.

Now suddenly it doesn't need it anymore?

Like just did Russia go away (or has russia won and sits now in the white house)?

Sonnigeszeug··on LightlyTrain: Better Vision Models, Faster – No Labels Needed
Hey!

we are a small startup and using our own model.

I would do a benchmark to see if its worth it but whats your pricing?

And do i now assume AGPL stands in your case for training internally?

Sonnigeszeug··on LightlyTrain: Better Vision Models, Faster – No Labels Needed
Cool! We use yolo and have good success after labeling 1k of images but i'm happy to try it out.

Does AGPL mean i can't use my model for my image detection or does it mean i can't use your software if i would want to provide finetuning service (which i don't want to).

Sonnigeszeug··on Harvard's response to federal government letter demanding changes
When i needed money for a house, without a good security i had to pay 1.6 and with 0.8.

Rich get richer, poor never see this advantage.

Sonnigeszeug··on Harvard's response to federal government letter demanding changes
Soooo you want freedom of speech but if you don't like what someone else is doing, you want to censor them?

And even the reps don't mind this?

How hypocratic do you have to be to want to get rid of the 'Wokeshit' which is freespeech while also advocating for free speech?

Btw. the real term for what type of speech radicals and nazis is abusive speech and yes there are good reasons why abusive speech should lead to consequences

Sonnigeszeug··on Notion Mail Is Out
It does make a lot of sense though.

I have gmail for ages now and i do not switch over to iphone/apple or microsoft. I do wait for google to provide AI features on Gmail and GDrive.

If your central live tool is notion, i would want to have my emails in it too.

Sonnigeszeug··on Whistleblower details how DOGE may have taken sensitive NLRB data
I fixed it for you: "Whistleblower details how a temporary group of very young people, who would never get access to sensitive data, are disabling/hiding what they are doing with highliy sensitive data of an executive, potentially circumventing safety mechanism in place to protect the data of all americans".

Btw. there is NO reason why they couldn't do all of that in a sincere way. Trump was voted in for 4 years.

Sonnigeszeug··on Whistleblower details how DOGE may have taken sensitive NLRB data
There were already news from weeks ago how they started to put servers on the internet with access to systems, which should not have access to/from the internet for security reasons.

This is just on top of all the other things. happened.

Sonnigeszeug··on Whistleblower details how DOGE may have taken sensitive NLRB data
You do understand, that the upcoming tax cuts for rich people will throw the USA Debt above defence savings?

And it will increase the debt significantly?

All of that while DOGE, some random dudes without any understanding how things work, stop things which are globally agreed on (global aid) or just not even worth mentioning in the grand schem?

But hey if you prefer to defend DOGE ssaving 160 Billion while the tax cut for the rich adds Trillions to debt, yeah do a happy dance. Be proud. Or whatever your comment is trying to do.

Funny that IRS also gets defunded. But hey taxes right? :D

Sonnigeszeug··on Canadian math prodigy allegedly stole $65M in crypto
Contract is code, you don't need anything anymore. It solves all the problem.

Something happens

We need to use the system which we want to replace...

Sonnigeszeug··on Googler... ex-Googler
Thats just not true.

You don't sound like a big company ceo. If you have a good reason, even as a small company, and revenue / affordability is one, you can fire people.

You just need to be able to pay them for min. 3 month if thats your contract length and as a business owner you should know how to calculate.

Sonnigeszeug··on Googler... ex-Googler
Oo? It should have been no issue at all for you to get this money.

We are a law and order country.

You got yourself played

Sonnigeszeug··on Googler... ex-Googler
'Someone who worked at one of the best paying companies in the world can retire after 15-20 years'.

This has nothing to do with Europe. This is particular a tech thing

Sonnigeszeug··on Writing Cursor rules with a Cursor rule
They way they are doing it is wrong, nonetheless the general idea is something i do anyway.

Documenting code style, how to work etc. makes a lot of sense for everyone and i normally have good documentation.

The problem? I know what i do, i don't write the docs for myself but for others or for my future me who might forgotten things. The good thing? Writing it for me, others and LLMs makes it a lot more helpful day to day.

Instead of explaining myself multiply times to AI OR a Junior / new Team Member, i write it down once.

Sonnigeszeug··on Colossus for Rapid Storage
Alone the fact of audit gives you a lot of reasons to keep data. Even if it gets downsampled one way or the other.

And plenty of use cases have natural growth. I do not throw away my pictures for example.

Data also grows dependent of users. More users, more 'live' data.

We have such a huge advantage with digital, we need to stop thinking its wasteful. Everything we do digital (pictures, finance data, etc.) is so much more energy and space efficient than what we had 20 years ago, we should just not delete data because we feel its wasteful.

Sonnigeszeug··on Colossus for Rapid Storage
Clicking yourself a Bucket takes 5 Minutes.

Building a Server and keeping it secure and up-to-date and fixing hardware issues, takes relevant time

Sonnigeszeug··on Hacker News Hug of Deaf
Probably also bots
Sonnigeszeug··on How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?
Right now USA is alianating everyone.

I'm in germany and i'm pissed. I will not go on holiday in USA and thinking proactivly how to boycot USA.

And i'm not even a company. A company wants stability, predictability and not chaos every 4 years. And this president is in office for only a few month.

Whatever strategy companys currently try to do is either sitting it out or starting to adjust. The adjustments might not just go back when USA is more stable again.
