Show HN: Semantic Question Answering as a Service
Since managing the Large Language Models in production might be challenging, we've made a short demo to present how to use Cohere co.embed API and Qdrant Cloud to create a semantic QA system. This is based on bi-encoder architecture, and can be easily adopted to a different use case, like semantic search in any domain.
I would wonder if you need to add an 'ease of play' consideration to how even the positions are. Positions may be technically even but the play for one side could be more complicated to see your way through.
Just because there are multiple ways to take the queen, doesn't mean that none of them is clearly better than the others.
> Preventing the state from doing the punishment, yes. But AFAIK there’s no de jure rule on private entities doing this. It may go against the spirit of our systems and societal norms, but it would not be against the letter.

Here we have schools using all this crap from Microsoft or Google for education. I don't see how a company, with our actual laws, can prevent a kid from studying just because his parents did something.
This was a joke to poke fun at people who comment "unnecessary use of cat", but yeah, it's bad on many levels.
However, in many simple cases, it will produce a valid response, since http server implementations are often extremely lenient. But I'd never use it because curl is truly everywhere.

"simply"?
The idea of keeping a CA root certificate on a server sounds pretty reckless.
I sincerely hope that no root CA has done that, ever!
We could blame Agile for guaranteeing you never have a second to yourself to do anything you think is needful or interesting or fun, but just forever trudge ahead fighting fires and fiddling with format and reworking code for broken libraries you should really be fixing...

We could go on and on. But I'm too tired and ... burnt out to continue.
In a similar vein: the making of prince of Persia.

You really see the highs and the lows in this book about the developing of prince of Persia. It is structured as a diary, so you can see other interests (learning Spanish, becoming a script writer). It is a good insight at how long developing something real feels IMO.
This is one of the very, very few cases when it makes sense. The problem is, everybody else is abusing it beyond imagination.
This is already how some engines tournaments work.
They don't start from move zero, they start from some uncommon position after a few moves, but one still considered even or at least not unbalanced.
Yes, it has to be replicated, but if confirmed, this could make strong permanent magnets a lot cheaper. Potentially geopolitically significant, even.
But it is Unicode.
> it was simply not in the "least publishable unit" form, and not easily (or at all) reducible to that form

I know a couple of people from grad school who worked on massive infrastructure projects ranging from designing the ISA to verilog implementation to compilers, simulators and everything in between. I think they faced similar challenges in that it's a lot of important work but not easily publishable. It's unfortunate that we don't have a good way of recognizing this type of work.

That sounds like 55% of software developers suffer noticeable burnout, which is pretty bad regardless of what genpop is dealing with.
You'll own nothing and be happy.
1. This is what happens when there are non-technical folks in the upper-echelons of an organization. The CTO should have highly technical backgrounds and should be able to do the work they’re pushing down to the rest of the engineering staff; however, oftentimes, they cannot and/or never could because their station comes from business acumen, not tech.

2. Now, there’s the other side of that where you have technical leaders who can code but cannot effectively communicate and/or make it known to other leaders why requested roadmap items are not feasible, possible, etc. This is a very common scenario where technical leaders are not great at communicating to other business leaders and making realities known.

The third issue is when a technical leader draws a line in the sand and gets sacked because the rest of the leaders hate having their ‘vision’ quashed. This leads to #1 and #2, above.
Kettle. Pot. Black.

Monopolistic practices is what Spotify is, not just something it does.

Recently they went about buying podcasts. The idea was/is to kill off the free protocol and centralise podcasts under their control... That way, listeners, advertisers and podcasters would all have to live by spotify's rules. Like streaming music.

Sure. Apple give themselves every advantage, cream the market, etc. They have a monopoly. So does Spotify!

What happens when an artist doesn't like Spotify's take-it-or-leave-it terms? Why should apple treat you better then you treat others? Cry me a river.
Keychron K8 (https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wir...) and a Ducky One 2 (https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/One-2-Phantom-Black).

I much prefer the Ducky One 2, but the Keychron is wireless and has Mac compatibility which the Ducky doesn't have.

Both are great keyboards, though i'm kinda planning on getting a Logitech MX Mechanical to replace the Ducky for the Mac support and wireless.
Good memories. Head Over Heels (C64 here) was one I used to just stare at, waiting for the next animation, musical cue, or room reveal...it was very well put together.

(Oh, and the title always made me wonder if it was a Tears for Fears collab, which seemed like such a rad idea at the time)
Is it possible to subscribe Spotify via iOS app? I can't find that option. It says "You can't upgrade to Premium in the app. We know, it's not ideal."
I think the “attack” in point 1 wasn’t an attack, and that the questions about representation were not merely justifiable, they’re completely reasonable. It makes sense to ask if this is the opinion of a single researcher, or if the department and employer share the opinions. I imagine it changes their legal stance if they’re proven to be innocent of the claims against them (i.e. they’d sue the university for reputational damage stemming from improperly conducted research/improper notification processes).

However, I think excerpt 1 paints a different in light of excerpt 2, and especially excerpt 3. 3 feels a lot like DARVO with their rumination on being a hapless victim of some conspiracy. It comes across as, “We can’t disprove the claims against us, even in the private documents we’ve sent to Mozilla, so we’re going to claim they’re being unfair and abusive, and they don’t understand corporate structures.” They’re suggesting that the people responding from
Mozilla and Google don’t understand corporate culture, or that they’re too incompetent to use the vast resources at their disposal to verify their beliefs about Trustcor’s corporate structure. This is a big deal, sure the people responding from Mozilla and Google could have business documents reviewed by a legal expert at their respective companies, assuming they don’t have direct knowledge.
BoardGameArena uses push notifications to let players know it's their turn.

I prefer running Slack in the browser, and I need to receive message notifications.

Push notifications aren't any less useful to have in browsers than in native apps.

Though I would like to see the prompt locked behind "add to home screen".

This doesn't make sense. The browser sees everything that passes through the browser, by definition.

It is clear those responses were written by an attorney—the liberal use of underlined and bold text, Roman numerals to indicate the different sections, clarifying the terminology at the beginning of all their emails. It's an obvious giveaway.

Also, they tend to be overly verbose but with no real substance as to waste everybody's time so it might look it was GPT-3 instead.

The law isn't the arbiter of what is moral. History shows that countries enact capital controls. Morally, if I decide this is going against the contract with me and my country, I may choose to "break laws" in order to leave.
Simple answer: because the software industry is a goddamned joke. It's full of complexity-fetishists who are arrogant enough to try and call themselves engineers while producing objectively terrible products and patting themselves on the back for it.

Remember a while back, when Casey Muratori told Microsoft their terminal emulator could be a lot faster if it used a glyph index, and professional Microsoft engineers told him that was complexity worthy of a doctoral thesis [0]?

There's a reason he got so mad at them, and its because this level of "competence" is pervasive in our industry and he has to see it every single f'ing day. See also: "When does the draw window change?", a demonstration of how Microsoft's flagship IDE's debugger fails to compete with a one-man project.

https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/voting_software.png

[0] For anyone not in the know, this is essentially just emulating how a real dumb terminal from the 70s would work, is the blindingly obvious implementation, and would be familiar to just about any game developer on earth. Casey spent the next weekend coding a 3-orders-of-magnitude faster terminal display demo that was completely unoptimized as a demonstration of the lower bound of how fast a terminal should be. Microsoft's terminal is still not as fast, even though they did eventually implement his solution without, initially, giving him any credit.
Touching on that version control and Nix are the same thing. Would be cool if they merged in some system.

Do you really think that a CA shady enough for the EU to reject would not have already been rejected by the various root programs?
I guess if you let it run for a long time it should converge on a first move?

I don't think there's a real fix for the issue, unless someone effectively solves chess someday. Otherwise your win/loss is fundamentally based on the imperfect evaluation of a particular engine.

If it's really just the nondeterminism that bothers you (which is fair enough, preferences vary), there's engines that either are deterministic or can be made so with settings.
The OpenPGP standard trust stuff is certainly represents a more flexible system (wildcards match on a regular expression) and at this point is a simpler and more straightforward system. It ultimately solves more or less the same problem.

TLS links a key fingerprint (ultimately the identity in any cryptographic trust system) to a host name. PGP links the key fingerprint to a name and email address (although the standard does not prevent you from linking, say, your phone number as well). So in either case we link the fingerprint to a more convenient alphanumeric string. That's it, that's all we are doing here. The whole trick is in what you think that alphanumeric string represents.

I sometimes fantasize about a world where the head office of a bank has a giant QR code literally chiselled into the stone of the building representing the key fingerprint of their root identity. That way anyone that walks by can verify all the bank's identities down to the individual employee simply by snapping a pic with their phone. Part of the responsibility of someone working there would be to check the QR code every morning to ensure that no one had come in the night with a jack hammer and concrete...
I wholeheartedly recommend employees to keep office laptop & equipment in the office drawers or lockers. No need of taking them home or tunring on the work profile on your personal devices after work hours. Coz apparently you cannot perform work at home right? Let this come back to bite insecure managers & defunct HR policies in today's day and age where developers arrive at one location to log in to the cloud on another continent to serve users on some other continent!
> Why didn't they go the UTF-8 round?

The original Unicode marketing / position statement from 1988[1] may provide a clue:

“In the Unicode system, a simple unambiguous fixed-length character encoding is integrated into a coherent overall architecture for text processing.”

“Unicodes [sic] are the most straightforward multilingual generalization of ASCII codes: - Fixed length of character code (16 bits); [...]”

“Are 16 bits [...] sufficient to encode all characters of all the world’s scripts? [...] Yes.”

“[A] fixed length-encoding is flat-out simple, with all the blessings attendant upon that virtue.”

Etc., etc.

The hypothetical possibility of more than 2^16 characters was introduced in Unicode 2.0 (1996), while actual such characters didn’t appear until Unicode 3.0 (1999). Windows NT shipped in 1993, OpenStep in 1994, Java and JavaScript in 1995. UTF-8 was presented at USENIX in January 1993; a contemporary exposition[2] says that “the 4[!], 5 and 6 byte sequences are only there for political reasons” (presumably referring to the fact that Unicode committed to 2^16 code points while the new, Unicode-compatible draft of ISO 10646 stuck with 2^31).

Inflation makes it less attractive to hold cash - it's worth less year over year. Experience says we want to make hoarding cash less attractive, and investing more attractive, so we want a little inflation.
Unfortunately TLS is already conflating two problems as it is:
1. Is the opposite party who they claim to be?
2. Did a third party alter or eavesdrop on the transmission?

That is, am I simply being phished in private or is the government also listening to me being phished?

It's trivially easy to solve the second problem and it doesn't require any PKI infrastructure whatsoever and we delayed secure transport by decades by tying it to the generally less-useful question in #1.

There are few entities online I trust more than I would trust someone impersonating them: basically only if money is changing hands. But I don't need to know that e.g. ycombinator.com is actually ycombinator.com because I don't trust ycmonbinator.com any more than I would trust someone impersonating ycombinator.com.
Margin trading is still not supposed to be co-mingled (or allowed if you're running a regulated brokerage). There's supposed to be a separate bank account labelled "client money" which has the client money in. https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/CASS/5/5.html

You could argue that anyone sending their money to a company of a different name to the one they expected, in an offshore jurisdiction, "deserved" what they got, but I don't agree with that. SBF is clearly trying to claim incompetence rather than criminal intent, but that should not save him from a gazillion wire fraud charges.

"You are asked to start with the immediate, direct cause of death on line Ia, then to go back through the sequence of events or conditions that led to death on subsequent lines, until you reach the one that started the fatal sequence."

Seems unlikely that someone getting hit by a bus would be listed as a Covid death. I would be interested in your source.
Q: Did you kill those people?

A: I did not mean to. I just loaded the gun, closed my eyes, pointed to the crowd and pulled the trigger.

If you are a trading exchange without a bank account, something is seriously wrong and you don't have an exchange. Choosing to take on customer money in any capacity is just straightforward trying to do something shady.

Yeah it is a little more complicated than normal to do illegal bullshit and fleece retail investors, that's the whole point of regulations and is not really an explanation for anything.

I do not need to explain to you what CVE means, but still the "C" is for Coordinated : CVE used to be that identifier where downstream actors could keep track of in order to keep their systems up to date.

Since Google and P0 are so worried about the safety of theirs users's ecosystem, they should issue CVEs for internally found bugs in Chrome so that CEF, Electron, and every chrome-like projects maintainers can verify if they have backported the correct fix. They even complained about downstreamers leaving a patch gap for attackers recently :)

Unfortunately, nowadays CVEs are a commodity (perhaps a currency in the future ?) where the less you have the more "secure" your system is, which is utter bullshit.

I, too, think this has a lot to do with it. Developer sprints help, but I don't think they come often enough. Also, I think there should be a day between sprints to decompress and do some non-creative work.
Actually, Einstein's 1935 paper along with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen basically highlighted the existence of entanglement in Quantum Mechanics. Of course Einstein was trying to show that QM was wrong via the EPR paradox but although reality has since proven him wrong, it was still a major paper written decades after his more famous work.
Where in Arizona specifically? Have they even decided? Did the government decide to pay for the factory and enroll their for-profit prisoners to work for $0.10/per hour, and divert the remaining water supply to the factory? Arizona seems like a terrible choice for a chip factory, unless they've selected an area that gets natural water... and there aren't many.
>Its higher than people with real stress like physicians, policemen and firefighters.

The thing is with most non-office professions like that, especially those involving physical instead of cognitive work, it's much easier to disconnect and relax mentally after work than with software engineering where even once you're done for the day you can end up mentally ruminating about critical bugs or issues throughout the evening, especially if you have a lot of responsibility and you know people/business is counting on you.

If the student isn't being bullied, then the parents are. If they try to participate in their child's education beyond volunteering for the teachers' pet projects they get slapped down and criticized and told they aren't good enough and should butt out.

Home schooling is an alternative, if you have the opportunity. Not just for religious nuts; it's for anybody that wants to see their kid get more than <10 minutes of attention a day (which schools fall woefully short of). You can beat the school curriculum by a large multiple in the first half-hour of your home-school day.

But good luck trying to check out a curriculum from your public school - you'll get glared at and lectured to and forbidden from checking out any curriculum that isn't 'age-appropriate' even though your child did all that stuff 2 years ago.

Anyway, sorry, hot button.
- You will have to learn both the nix language and working with nixpkgs. Learning nix is pretty trivial IMO (great resources are nix-1p[0] and Nix Pills[1]) but the documentation, while vast, is pretty shallow at the moment. You will likely have to resort to reading random blog posts, nix configs published by others and the source code of nixpkgs itself.

- As mentioned by another commenter you will not be able to run random binaries by default. You can use nix-alien[2] which will automatically fetch the required libraries and build an FHS environment for the binary.

- It is significantly more bandwidth- / rebuild-heavy. If an input for a derivation changes it will trigger a rebuild, which means either a redownload from the binary cache or a recompilation.

Wtf are you talking about?

You don’t pay a browser to get your roots included.

You file a bug report, and provide the supporting documentation and audits. If the relevant root program considers your supporting documentation sufficient, they include you.

You cannot pay a root program to include your root certa, and any CA that was found to have done so would likely find other programs considering that to be a red flag.
