This is a very interesting topic of conversation, but applying this level of thought to the output of GPT3 hugely over-rates what it does.

You already provided it with the cultural and artistic prompts, the full context of which were already generated independently by humans.
Php 7 -> Php 8 is where php has really started making more breaking changes (for better or worse). Or at least introduced lots of new warnings.
Shameless plug: I compiled a list of research materials on Ingenuity control and navigation [1]. Someone might find it useful.

CEOs resigning or otherwise experiencing a lot of pain does not help the people being laid off. But if it becomes a cultural norm then CEOs in the future may be less likely to take steps that lead to layoffs.

Consider a more extreme example of the justice system. Putting somebody in prison doesn't undo the crime they committed. But deterrence is considered to be a reasonable argument for criminal punishment.
There are nice improvements that make it worth it to upgrade, but yeah, and you can also just use a Linux distribution that provides support for older versions of PHP (such as Debian stable or the Sury packages).

We upgrade our clients in waves, so sites in dev get the latest PHP, which lets up contribute to upstream PHP projects to fix issues, and by the time it's merged upstream, we can update our older clients without any worries.
I disagree with your suggestion that diplomacy is necessarily a form of submission. Peace can still be made while maintaining a position of strength. For example, U.S.-Soviet relations.
Does anyone know where his story, the iHole, can be found? It won a ton of awards, apparently, but it seems to be gone from everything?
Fascinating; thanks for the links. I wonder how the splicing process works for that.
That has nothing to do with Apple. Just because the American government doesn't understand the importance of technology doesn't mean Apple is in the wrong.
>Buying a building for £15M doesn't make you £15M poorer because you can sell the building later.

Spoken like someone who has never been responsible for the maintenance of a very old home. :)
What's Waze? Never heard of this.
> mistaking contract work for friendship

That seems to happen quite often. People forget that it's impossible to be friends with someone who's employing you without some major conflicts of interest on both sides.
iOS architects, what are the best best practices to support TouchID/FaceID
Mainly looking for options like storing username/password vs. access_token in keychain. Are there any other approaches? Also, any recommendation for the life cycle of the token.
Kinda interesting this comes out not too long after Mick Gordon called out iD.

I wonder if this guy saw that and figured he'd try something similar.

The difference is that Mick Gordon worked his ass off for years and that the music is a significant element to the Doom games, where as the ending poem in Minecraft is pretty insignificant.
> many journalists have come around to the idea that while they are there to interpret the facts, being able to link and display the source materials is a service to their readers

Very odd that in the midst of the last decade+ of loudly lamenting the death of journalism, nobody realized this sooner--that what people just might be willing to sustain financially is not only the synthesis of someone who has researched the problem and then publishes that synthesis, but someone who also gives the reader something: the paper trail that all that research produced (or the trailhead, at least).

Too much of what passes for journalism (especially local news) is indistinguishable, if not in tone then at least in substantiation and credibility, from the rigorless, non-expert opinion of any arbitrary person on the Internet.

A person might also be strategically interested in supporting ideas that promote their party without agreeing with every idea.
I noticed in Tokyo that a lot of businesses are named after two seemingly random English words.
Is there some evidence that fewer software developers are employed now than in the past? The latest layoffs in Silicon Valley notwithstanding, I can't see how software development will become a less important trend than it already is..

ChatGPT targets low-end, offshore customer service and phone call answering applications for technical support. Neither it nor Copilot is any replacement for a software developer.
The road to Dart 3: A fully sound, null safe language
In the absence of quantified data, I'd say yes.

My personal opinion is that this is due to a lot of things besides digitization though. Regulation is one thing -- I think regulations sometimes do increase safety but then decrease access which is critical to experimentation and discovery.

Some of it is the nature of capitalism too. If you have a product, at some level you have to get the purchase to the point of sale (or at least to the point of no return). So that leads to a lot of selection for product characteristics that get the product to the point of nonreturnable sale, many of which increase convenience and superficial aspects of immediate satisfaction, at the cost sometimes of long-term satisfaction. Pushing back against this requires a longer-term process of not returning to a seller, or complaining about it, which is less immediate than refusing a purchase outright.

Add in monopoly and monopsony and things get even more complex.

I think what you're mentioning -- convenience allowing for short-term benefits that then miss the less convenient but long-term more satisfying alternative -- also definitely plays a role. I just think it's part of a mix of things that are separable but not necessarily totally independent.
Probably with one way valves so they can flush despite the seal. I agree with the idea that it is probably not a big deal. Good for headlines grossing people out, but probably a non-issue for average humans with functioning immune systems.
KaiPod Learning | Founding Engineer | Remote (US) | Full-Time | kaipodlearning.com

KaiPod Learning is building a brand new learning model by blending high-quality online education with in-person support. We are creating a network of in-person microschools where students learn at their own pace using a digital curriculum, get in-person academic support from an educator, and socialize with their peers.

We are looking for a Founding Engineer to lead the build of the technology platform that supports students, parents, educators, and our central team. You will be the first technical hire we make to take us on this journey.

Our priority is looking for full-stack engineers with early startup experience.

It has nothing to do with the screen, or living life virtually/digitally.

It boils down to the paradox of choice. Or getting older. Mostly when it's getting older - it's nostalgia talking. Humans have been bemoaning this state of affairs for centuries.

"We suffer more often in imagination than in reality" - Seneca

Nostalgia is Greek for "returning [home] to suffering/pain".. ironic, isn't it?

We have more choice than ever before, and because of that, sometimes our choices don't seem as valuable. We are simple apes, after all, accustomed to making choices that determine the outcome of our survival.

So, instead of being able to only choose from an action movie, a horror film, and a rom-com.. it was simple - what were you in the mood for?
FOSS people who see themselves as digital freedom fighters LOVE to trot this out, but I don't think it's true in any meaningful sense.

It's more accurate to frame it as preferring low hassle to high hassle. Or to preferring well-designed tools to haphazard efforts. Or, from the other side, preferring some degree of DIY to turnkey products. (In particular, I think this is a HUGE piece of it; lots of hackers want to build their own toolchain, and then they get to feel noble because they're doing it for "freedom.")

I'm pretty "all in" on the Apple ecosystem. Each step of the way, I thought pretty deeply about my choices, and still ended up with an Apple option. But to characterize this as me caring more about convenience than "freedom" implies that I have somehow given up or endangered MY freedom, which isn't the case.

I'm able to do anything I want to do in this ecosystem. Macs are general purpose machines; I can build from source, and I can run code from any repository I want.

iOS is closed by design, and the result has been a very stable and predictable platform that I do not believe is possible WITHOUT that closed nature. I can't hack code on my phone, but I also don't WANT to. There are lots of appliance devices in my life I don't want to hack, and that I just want to USE.
The lionisation of GPT technology (which is nothing special, apart from the scale of execution) is quite embarrassing. Have we forgotten that each of us has, within our own heads, a computer vastly superior to this toy (and one that needed $12 million in compute costs alone to train, while mine at least runs on porridge and cheese sandwiches)?

Just for fun, try a prompt like "Write a new letter" (which eventually gave an error). Or "Write something new" (I was then told I was "making too many requests").
No one ever really thought startups were about hanging out with cool people every day. People who treated it that way were playing at startups rather than actually doing it.

Okay cool, I had heard the same kind of AI training during the release of DALL.E 2 where one of the AI was dedicated to the generation of the image and another AI which checked if the generated image corresponded to an AI or not.
Don’t worry WordPress doesn’t support 8.2
The SensitiveParameter attribute is a really nice addition that isn't highlighted on the release page.
Great suggestions! A lot of these speak to UX polish which will be addressed.

Yeah #5 was on my list, definitely helps to facilitate conversations.

For #3 & 4, what problems would this help solve? I thought about adding some canvas shapes, but it feels like a nice feature that doesn't solve a clear problem. Sometimes, shapes might take away from the simplicity of tagging comments on the existing UI.
Google famously has spent billions of dollars on NYC real estate, including Chelsea Market and the Port Authority building.

I don't think this is all relevant, though, since the trade-offs for a large publicly traded tech company are very different than for a grant funded events project at a charity?
> Some artists are good at business (Picasso)

I know basically nothing about the life of artists in general, but this interests me. Where can I read about this? Would appreciate a link that deals with the business side more than a general biography. Thanks.
It doesn't sound like Vanuatu itself was knocked offline (e.g. due to an undersea cable being cut or something), rather it sounds like many government systems were knocked offline as part of a cyberattack.
Living a life in complete comfort can make us fear even minor discomfort, pain, and stress. But these are ordinary and essential parts of human life. Stupor is a very appropriate word to describe a state of living without even minor discomforts, and I believe this lifestyle has severe negative mental and physical health consequences.

Mental health consequences include:

- Anxiety about minor unpleasant things.

- Catastrophizing them.

- Ruminating on inconsequential aspects of one's life.

Also, living a dull life probably has other adverse mental health effects.

Physiological health consequences include losing physical readiness through lack of (uncomfortable but necessary) exercise. And we'll likely discover a lot of harmful physiological effects of a live-at-home lifestyle that remote work, online shopping, telehealth, and social media now enable.

While I can see some glaring negatives of living a life devoid of discomfort, there are likely many more. Psychologists and other health professionals should pay more attention to this.
> creating Bootstrap templates

Could I ask, how do you do that?
bool are_equal = memcmp(&a, &b, sizeof(some_struct_t));

Isn't this a bug? Structs are allowed to have padding bytes between bytes occupied by fields, which will have unpredictable ("garbage") values. So a pair of structs with all fields pairwise same can have different padding bytes, so checking equality with this method will give a false negative.
Author here. I don't expect people to pay me for anything. My main motivation was (and still is) to just give back, since I profit from free information and software created by others as well. I fully expect this temporary increase in traffic to net exactly what it has netted before: almost nothing. And you know what? I'm fine with that. Donations are not the reason this little project exists.

What I am is struggling to make ends meet for some time. A new laptop is near the bottom of my priorities right now. Money will run out around the beginning of February. It makes me sad to read cynical comments like this. That's all I have to say.
It seems like a reasonable claim judging by how much easier and cheaper it is to spin up 10s of thousands of nodes than it was a decade ago. Even a wealthy person with a miniscule fraction of the US defense budget could do the same.

Idk if there is a technical solution to this attack problem.
> Java comes to mind.

Java used to be like that, but the migration to the module system has been very rocky for me personally when revisiting older projects.
I didn't claim the poem was interesting, I gave it as an example of something which could not possibly have been regurgitated straight out of the training set, which it clearly was.

Also: it was a 4-stanza poem, three rhyming couplets per stanza. It had a recognizable beginning/middle/end and a reasonably humorous punchline. The rhyme scheme was AABBCC - your four-year old will need to know that when they replicate the feat ;)
If the artist told them 20k wasn’t good enough he probably would have lost the job. This was he gets the job and the what if musing
Is there some well established way to make some very visible but not structural part of a bridge to collapse after an overload, to scare people and make them report the problem?
Part of satisfaction is completing something, and fewer things end anymore.

You can't watch a really good movie with a satisfying conclusion, they are all written for a sequel.

You don't just buy things, you have to subscribe to them.

You take a vacation, but also 3000 pictures.

Relationships don't end, they have long lingering deaths of less and less a contact on social media.

You never get the moments of walking away from prison a free man, it's just an endless series of half way houses.
It is well documented but the comments in the documentation are seriously bad most of the time. I really wish they would at least designate the primary release at the time of the comment, if not purge old ones (the comments from 2005 don't often offer much value nearly 20 years later)
> Ingenuity covered about 49 feet (15 m) of horizontal distance on Saturday's flight, which lasted 52 seconds. The helicopter has now traveled a total of 24,302 feet (7,407 m) and stayed aloft for 59.9 minutes on its 35 Mars sorties, according to the mission flight log

Makes so happy to see such impressive numbers coming from what at the time was little more than especulative exploration
Also to keep the toddler from playing in it.
You don’t understand. Microsoft didn’t buy Mojang’s assets. They bought Mojang itself. Read the very next section of the page you linked.
Using a shared hosting provider is a choice you're making there though. If you know you're going to be managing legacy codebases for a while you're far better off spinning up your own box on cloudlinux, which has PHP security patches going back to the early 5.x releases.

It's unreasonable to expect standard hosting providers to cater to those kinds of needs IMO.

> It's work for our engineers but not something to get excited about.

Totally not, yeah!

My friend also was surprised/shocked that there were changes in the code necessary to keep those old sites up and running.

Next thing was installing and setting up the "OMGF" plugin to cache Google fonts for GDPR compliance. Stupid work, but quite a few billable hours.

I think the WordPress ecosystem really is... "struggling" (lack of a better word) with how the modern web and the world around it evolves.
To sit down whilst the kids are in the bath.
Discovery process vs consumption process.

Obviously the kid wasn't the first to discover how to dig a ditch, but the kid discovered it for himself, figured out how it works for himself. Personal discovery.

Like the difference between accomplishing a sports achievement personally vs watching a picture of someone else accomplishing a similar goal.
Only a few hours ago I found myself in front of a bad translation, accompanied to the product of a billionaire (who published a video in multiple versions, with translated embedded infographic text). A locution was employed which is used for something very different, and unironically (e.g., "With the departure of the CEO the company has lost his head" - to try and give the idea).

This means that the bar for quality has fallen.
There are codium forks that will host a web server environment for you... easy enough to VPN home, or another trusted environment, and use a code(ium) server on your host.
This was tied to an action in the App Store. Not sure how you purchase apps without tying it to your Apple ID. It is also laid out in the ToS "We use information about your browsing, purchases, searches, and downloads. These records are stored with IP address, a random unique identifier (where that arises), and Apple ID"

No one (or even the author) has been able to replicate it or find the Apple ID in any other logs calls.
I'm sorry your version didn't get any votes or comments. Best time to post on HN is around (say) 15:00 CET, so that Europeans will see it in the afternoon and Americans can see it with their morning coffee.
I agree with you entirely. You can’t have both a stable currency and a speculative investment. Stablecoins in theory should solve it but it seems that every stablecoin vendor is corrupt and untrustworthy. I do see value for developing countries who have no other option, but anyone in western society is going to prefer more regulated centralized financing because it comes with protections that DeFi can’t offer.
They do address this in the article (albeit in a flowery way):

>Surprisingly, despite the skeletal simplicity of their wormhole, the researchers detected a second signature of wormhole dynamics, a delicate pattern in the way information spread and un-spread among the qubits known as “size-winding.” They hadn’t trained their neural network to preserve this signal as it sparsified the SYK model, so the fact that size-winding shows up anyway is an experimental discovery about holography. “We didn’t demand anything about this size-winding property, but we found that it just popped out,” Jafferis said. This “confirmed the robustness” of the holographic duality, he said. “Make one [property] appear, then you get all the rest, which is a kind of evidence that this gravitational picture is the correct one.”

Seems like their argument is that because they didn't train for the size-winding, but observed it, that some gravitational interaction is probably happening, despite there only being finitely many cubits unlike true SYK.

>Most comments say it's simulated. I think it's not even that... The fact they ran it on a real device is irrelevant.

I don't fully understand the theory around holography but I'm not convinced by the commenters saying that it's "simulated". IIUC, the certain quantum system that is equivalent to gravity is "another view of" the wormhole transport in AdS space and that in some sense it did indeed happen "in reality". Although it's not so clear what reality means anymore if these theories are true for real dS spacetime and everything can be described via a bunch of degrees of freedom on a boundary surface.

As an aside, I wish the article was written in plainer English. I laughed when they wrote that the physicist was "a gifted programmer" because they could use pytorch or whatever. What a puff piece.
Typed collections.
This is a nitpick, but it's strange to me that the video title is "I Accidentally got SBF to Admit to Fraud," when the video starts with a discussion of how he studied SBF's interviews & strategized a line of questioning that would be maximally damaging. I'm not saying he shouldn't have done so (I'm pretty ambivalent, I think this is an important question but I'm uncomfortable with the spectacle here and the calls for SBF's head), just that it's weird to present it at an accident.
“and so I said, OK, I’ll take whatever the first thing you offered was.”

Edit: I’m rate limited, but Microsoft doesn’t need a transfer. They bought the entire company. Just like you buying some shares on the stock exchange, except they bought all of the shares in a private transaction. Had they done an asset purchase instead, your point might be valid.
You may be missing my point. I thoroughly agree with so-called "blackpill" analysis of the problem. And I believe that most people do too, if you got them drunk and honest enough.

The issue is that civilization "solved" the problem by codifying lifelong monogamy into law, repressing the rights of women, treating them as chattel, and exacting draconian punishments for exercising their hypergamy.

There is precisely ZERO chance we will ever go back to that.

So what other solution is there? The reality is that there is no solution. Nor can we even pretend that there is a solution. At least with other difficult problems like climate change or racial achievement gaps, we can play little games like carbon credits and school funding reallocation that won't fix the problem but we can at least pretend it might. What could we possibly even pretend to do about this problem? Government-funded bimax surgery for all? Mandatory CRISPR gene modifications of gametes to ensure sexually dimorphic physical traits for all? I don't think so.

Even acknowledging the problem immediately suggests "historical" solutions, all of which are complete anathema to our modern society.

So, we're stuck. Humans are very good at denying the existence of a problem if there's no viable solution. And that's what we're doing now. So we gaslight legitimate incels into believing they just need to work on their hygiene and personality and hope for the best. This
> How do you deal with Nginx/Apache updates given they release more frequently than PHP?

Can't speak for Nginx, but Apache updates very rarely screw with syntax, and those are always major releases. And for Apache, "syntax" just means config files.

PHP screws with syntax frequently, and often on point releases. And PHP is a programming language; syntax is the whole point of PHP.
