One of the worst trends in UX over the last decade has been that words have been replaced by iconography. Google seems to have really led the way on this from what I can tell. They've also pushed hard to make every one of their icons impossible to tell apart at a glance: they used to have distinct colors and shapes for each of their apps. Now every app is a white circle with a slightly different rainbow in the middle. It's baffling.
NetInfo did have some good ideas, and I suppose it could have been improved, but the market wanted a standards-based solution. I think macOS was the first commercial operating system to ship with a RFC2307 LDAP client. Jaguar (10.2) had a NetInfo to LDAP bridge and subsequent versions removed NetInfo entirely, although I think NOOP stubs may still remain in libSystem.
It will eventually be continued, just like Warbreaker. And it's not like it is forgotten, there are at least two characters from Sel in Lost Metal(his latest mistborn book).
Okay, but I’m not in the Jai beta, and I have to use the tools available to me…
Prompt: Which openai model are you currently using?

Answer: I am currently using the GPT-3 model from OpenAI. GPT-3 is a large-scale language model trained on billions of words of text data, and is capable of generating human-like text based on the input it receives. GPT-3 is the foundation of my programming, and I'm able to generate text that is coherent and relevant to the input I receive.
The problem with your analysis is you are taking that budget they show and assuming it is correct and that they have not lied, and when investigating fraud a necessary component of any fraud is lying about what you've done. Forensic accountants catch people because certain practices are followed, such as double entry-accounting and regular cash flow statements.

What they have posted, is based on their say so with no supporting documentation and that document has been updated a few times, but not regularly as one would expect happens during a normal course of charity business (quarterly or annually). I've never heard of a legitimate charity that doesn't regularly have an independent auditor look over their books every few years and certify there are no inconsistencies (at a bare minimum).

All I was saying is, there are a lot of questions, and no solid information to draw any conclusions from.
Even on Android I’ve never had a good time with file transfers. MTP is just such a flaky protocol.
Was your answer about what LastPass does, or what 1Password does? The person you replied to was asking about 1Password.
I have a pet theory that copyright is one of the reasons for toxic fandom. If you prefer earlier versions of Robin Hood where he's less overtly Catholic, then you are free to write your own version. On the other hand, if you are invested in Star Wars and don't like the way that Disney is taking it, then your only option is to do something like review bombing.
Well, no. It just means some human groupings are farther back in some areas than we thought.

There is nothing here to suggest, as he speculates, "that an advanced ice age civilization was destroyed in a cataclysm, but that its survivors passed on their knowledge to hunter-gatherers, giving rise to the earliest known civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Mesoamerica."

History (and the world) is full of mystery. Though we shouldn't let our imagination run wild, we also should leave some avenues open. As someone who read a lot of Conan The Barbarian back in the 70's I certainly love the idea of the mysterious ancients.
Have you had many conversations with it? For me it took an hour before I found it saying anything particularly wrong and even then it was more subtle than the above.
>that they don’t fully understand

This is it. Humans can understand any system, if you have pilots failing to understand they weren’t trained properly. If you can’t train your pilots properly, use different planes. Nearly every plane crash for decades has been a human failure not a technological one. The way airliners behave is well known and not a mystery at all, if pilots don’t know what to expect its their fault.

Designing aircraft for human training needs is indeed important and constantly under review, but I cannot really blame aircraft for the failures of airline training programs.
I’m the only sober man in this bar OP, they’re medicated. Self medicated :-)

I don't mean to offend you, but reading the comments it was specifically yours where it seemed the nuance was removed. AequitasOmnibus was saying that we need regulation but to do it with care. There's nuance in that. Your comment was pretty reactionary and really just pointed at (near) universally disliked companies and asked how they were ethical. You set the bar for rebuttal pretty low since there simply needs to be a single proof of contradiction. This may not have been the thought you were trying to express but it is clear that I'm not the only one that interpreted your comment in this manner (and I think it should be clear to you what happened here). I want to promote better discussions and it seems like you do too, so I want to give some feedback so we can hopefully have better ones in the future and actually discuss what we want to discuss instead of fighting. I hope this comment helps.

Examples for being clean and reliable methods? I have a hard time coming up with examples, as after all the body has to be disposed off eventually.

The sooner the better. You don't want the body to stay undetected for any period of time.

Or the simple fact many people don't know that most just deceased people release some poop and pee.
How did any of us come to be?
It's a pretty scary technology tbh. In a nearby city to me during the George Floyd protests, protestors got caught outside with police cars blocking streets. The police then decided to call a curfew of <definitely not enough time to gtfo of there> and arrested a lot of them. With technology like this they could actually trace back almost every single person who attended a protest like this and arrest them weeks or even months later
This doesn't seem like a good counterexample against Google. On the query "32-inch 4K HDR computer monitor not curved" I am presented with a shopping carousel, all of the entrants of which appear to be direct hits matching all those feature requirements. Why do I want a chatbot for this?

I understand that outside the U.S.A. the shopping results might not be as effective.
Shouldn't it be the opposite? Most common psychological problems are created by the hostile environment people are living on. More meds would be the equivalent of pumping up the volume on the radio on a car whose engine make more concerning and intense noises every day.

Don't get me wrong, your question is totally valid and interesting, but I think we forgot we need to feel both good things and bad things not only for have a more complete experience of life, but also to value even more those good parts we have on them.

If some people fear of death because they are going to die due to an illness, probably they have more pain than fear, and if they fears it due to their long are, they shouldn't: They must be doing enjoying that little or that much they have remaining.
>It's why they publish papers about their in-house tech but never have the guts to put it out there for the general public to experiment with.

You must live on another planet. What other company half-asses myriad products where the engineer in charge gets a promotion only for them to die out in a few years, and all in public?
Funny thing is Adam Smith talks about this extensively despite being the poster child for an unregulated "free" market.
Lots of time when I'm searching I'm relying on recognition and not recall. I know the right answer but I don't have it memorized.

If I search for python for loop syntax or metallica bob seger cover or tuck rule game year, etc. I know the right answer if you show it to me and given enough time to think I probably could recall it but I don't have the information at the top of my mind.

If chatgpt returns something that's wrong I'll know it's wrong and then maybe go check google.

I agree: LastPass has been hot garbage for many years but it still has a significant presence, some guy’s low-value crypto wallets would not be the first we hear about a compromise of LastPass vaults. There are entire companies using LastPass for critical systems.

I absolutely believe it’s possible that LastPass has been compromised more than they’ve let on and I won’t be surprised if we eventually find out vaults are vulnerable, but I don’t believe this is how it would play out.

Sunday the 18th is conveniently around the time of the latest announcement, but not the time of the actual hack. Feels like someone is over fitting.
Fascinating. This isn't at all how ChatGPT works. You're not leveraging the scale of the internet + style transfer to provide answers. Instead it's doing text summarization on search results.

It's a very clever proof of concept. Not exactly a large language model.
you're thinking too much about the specific example and not the general point, but I edited the parent comment with an actual example

edit: oh, I did say append so I see why you'd think that. that's my bad. what I meant was include
Shorts are not really comparable to TikTok. Similar yes, but nowhere near the same.
I simply don’t and stopped caring about the deluge.

Give “4000 weeks” a read.
I’ve met those idiots. They keep forcing people to add citations to 1 pagers from the 90s because they’ll only read… one page. (Carried by a 22 year old intern.)
Tangent: How did people hear about FTX? I've been interested in/holding crypto for a few years, and the big player was (and I assumed still is until recently) Coinbase, or Coinbase pro if you wanted better rates. There was bitcoin, Etherium, and some smaller coins like Bitcoin Cash, XRP, and Litecoin. I had a mix of coins, then rebased in ~2019 to a 50/50 Eth/Bitcoin split. As an alternative to Coinbase, you could use a hardware or paper wallet. How many people used FTX over Coinbase and wallets? What was the appeal?
Security was considered just as important as it is today, in fact probably more because the default attitude towards the internet was not to trust anything. At this time the only relevant browser was IE, which was hostile to everything not MS and they would kneecap anything they could.
They already have issues ranking cloned pages of GitHub issues. Gmail's spam filtering is somehow getting worse. They got way too lazy.
This podcast is the source of some of the clips which showcase her thought process.

If this was true, i feel like it would be a little strange for the attacker to use it to steal a small amount of crypto. Once its revealed how bad this is, there would probably be a small window before people change their passwords, i would assume attackers would either go for a big score before revealing this capability, or they would try to hit everything very quickly. Just hitting a tiny amount of crypto seems odd.

Additionally, 1Password makes the extra effort to never even send the URLs of your accounts to their servers. Even with their Watchtower service, which notifies you of breached accounts and websites that support 2-factor authentication, your passwords and website URLs are never sent to 1Password servers.

It does work harder by weight carried. There is some induced drag for every pound of lift and, in unaccelerated flight (most of it), lift and weight are exactly balanced.

My piston-engine airplane goes about 3% faster on the same fuel flow (power) at the end of a long flight than the start. That’s the effect of reduced drag from the lower weight.
> Google lacks competence to create any product that’s not adTech.

While I wholeheartedly agree with this statement, unfortunately AI is an area where they might succeed.

AI mainly requires:

1. Brilliant researchers/engineers

2. A ton of money

Google is one of the few companies that have abundance of both.

Even if they create just the tech and another company builds a product on top, Google will just acquire them.
This discussion here is completely irrelevant. It's the people out there (way outside of this group of tech aficionados) who get to decide, and so far the uptake for ChatGPT has eclipsed every product launch Google had in the last 20 years, in terms of user growth. Accuracy, macurracy, no one cares.
It's just in Russia, every reported number gets exaggerated by at least a factor of 7. :-)
>are you worried a threat actor would hack your dropbox and steal your keepass file and break your password?

I keep a copy of my password file in Dropbox, as one of several backups.

(The file, to begin with, is GPG-encrypted.)
Thanks for sharing. I also found their blogs are insightful as well and worthy reading.
I don't understand this comment. Calculus as taught to mathematics undergrads is analysis, right?

Where is calculus "often taught" without "theorems/proofs that are used to build up calculus"?
Finding the First Americans
We visited this site back in about 2011 when they were working on Site A. I was with my family on a multi-day rafting trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. I highly recommend making this trip if you are interested in quiet river stretches, sandy campsites on scattered sand bars, raging rapids up to Class V with the right flow conditions, geology, scenery that is beautiful, skies that are clear and great for stargazing, etc.

We took a trip with a rafting guide out of Riggins, ID who has been running the river since the late 1970's I think. It was my third trip with him as guide and each as memorable as the last. He has always been active with the local tribes attempting to return fish to the river and on issues concerning access to and use of the river.

On this trip we stopped at the archaeological dig and had a tour led by the professor in charge of the field work. There were students digging and sifting and we were able to see example artifacts that they found. We heard the history of the area and some of the things that they had already determined about the age of the occupation and use. It was a great stop and we each got a bandana as a gift. The professor also leads a dig in Texas, the Gault site, I think where they have similar preClovis dates for that initial occupation. I grew up in that part of Texas and my family has deep roots there in the area.
The tapes might last for decades, but support for them won't. Newer LTO standard drives can only read tapes a couple generations back at most. So you're pretty much forced to copy your stuff over if you want to stay current.
“Our product can last all day!”

Doing what? Sitting on the counter? I want a phone that can stream data all day (music and maps) while occasionally taking photos and sending messages.

It does reduce the search space for a brute force attempt. Depending on how short your identifier is. Also if two sites passwords are leaked it could make someone’s job a lot easier.
In the UK, if you want to kill yourself by overdosing on paracetamol, then you're forced to visit several different shops (because you can't buy more than two packets at once) then spend a long time tediously popping each pill individually out of the blister pack before you can swallow them all. (The pills don't come in bottles because bottles make it too easy to quickly pour a fatal overdose of pills into your mouth).

These measures won't stop a truly determined person, but they stop a lot of people. It's well understood that erecting even a minor inconvenience in front of a suicidal person can be enough to keep them alive. Popping all your paracetamol out of the packaging takes enough time to give you a chance to reconsider the whole thing.

By forcing someone to do something, we prevent them from doing something else.
While it's an optimistic thought that violating people's privacy and giving our tax dollars to private corporations will necessarily lead to the crumbling of the empire, I don't actually think this is a given.

We have to be the ones to make it crumble.
LTO does seem to be the last bastion of closed source vendor lock-in. That being said, even if prices dropped by 75%, I'm not sure our shop would look to do LTO instead of a series of hard drives. 20 TB hard drives are now $400.
This means that if a breach reveals more than one of your passwords, the pattern is easily recognized and you just made ALL your passwords extremely weak. Not a great idea.
The problem with crypto is that you cannot hedge everything.

Some tokens, such as exchange tokens (BNB, FTT, etc) are unshortable locally (by construction) and no other exchange proposes futures for them.

This creates a very risky lock in to one platform.
I've been using LastPass for years. Looks like I'm going to have to export everything from my LP vault and import it into Bitwarden. Any downsides to Bitwarden that anyone knows of? I'm asking more about convenience, i.e. how well the browser extensions and Android app work and less about security.
But if you had a ton of credentials from people, scanning for crypto credentials and trying to use those may be easier/faster/safer to turn into money than system credentials to some random company network.
Odd, meaning literal, you mean. Odd use of odd.
I am not so surprised, the challenges for connecting a phone to a camera quick and reliably is formidable. You need a connection capable of transferring a several hundreds megabit file in a reasonable time (a RAW is like 40MB). Bluetooth just won't cut it. Of course, in theory WiFi Direct would do it but then Apple obviously does something else. Wired connection, unless you want to fiddle with the connector would require magnetic connectors and at least today there are no USB C magnetic cables which would or rather could adhere to the specification. It's been three years since https://twitter.com/USBCGuy/status/1186718432932159488 and there's still nothing.

And of course this is just the electronics, then you'd need to work something out mechanically. It needs to attach safely and quickly but also detach when needed. It's instructive how most quality phone cases are not universal rather there's a separate one for each model.
Ask HN: Do “treasury” investing accounts impact QSBS eligibility?
Background: QSBS (qualified small business stock) is a major benefit for startup founders and early employees/investors, since if they purchase their shares, they won't have to pay federal income taxes on a big chunk of their exit.

However, in order to take advantage of this benefit, you need to maintain QSBS eligibility. There are rules.

One of those rules is that at least 80% of the issuing corporation's assets must be used in the operations of one or more of its qualified trades or businesses. Investing is explicitly excluded as a qualified trade or business. [1]

A lot of these new VC-backed banks springing up are offering high returns on savings via "treasury" products, where they turn around and invest their money in safe funds with high returns.

However, wouldn't this be using assets in a business (investing) that isn't a "qualified trade or business"? Do these fancy new treasury accounts negatively impact your company's QSBS eligibility?

Prominent example is Mercury Treasury, who promotes an "up to 4.01%" return, by investing your money for you. https://mercury.com/treasury

I feel like these companies should tell you the potential implications of using their products. These treasury accounts seem like they could cost you millions of dollars in taxes compared to traditional savings accounts...

Mainly looking to confirm what I suspect is true, and also raise awareness for others this may impact.

Rumour has it they put the new staff on the Pre lines, so per-staff throughput can actually be lower.
A description of Lastpass's vault structure[1] suggests that notes inside entries were encrypted (index 4). I have no additional information about the veracity of that description though.

I've been using it and really liking it, thanks for building it.
this is true, yes. fwiw what I do is more complicated than an append. I'll edit it to say "include", which is more accurate.
You are maybe unaware of exponential growth of renewables deployment, worldwide, with no expectation it will slow? Each installation displaces coal, oil, and NG generation in direct proportion.

Probably you should read up a bit.
I'm sure plenty of "non-elite" people have the hubris. Just not the access to capital
Not a lawyer so I won’t even try to give detail, but there’s a legal concept of “proceeds of a crime.” I think it may be handled very differently.
That seems to only allow for prison being purely a punishment, and that some level of deprivation must be included in order for the sentence to be considered complete.

Truly beneficial scale would simply be: "You can return to regular society with restrictions after you have been rehabilitated, and you can return to regular life after your victims have been compensated."

The other thing that's bothersome about these showy sentencing standards is that it provides good cover to the regulators and legislators who should be auditing their past actions with respect to this enterprise and should be holding honest hearings on how the legislation failed to protect consumers.
I would like to see fast good joints that advertise tall, juicy and fresh burgers only to deliver a flat and lifeless burgers sued for false advertising as well. There should have to be some degree of likeness, not a dream that your burger might look like this.

This goes for all food advertising....
I suppose this is how such things start.
What you're talking about is what we in the ML world call a stochastic parrot. You may have also heard the term "gullibility gap." A lot of language and conversations can be held that don't require any actual understanding of the subject matter, but rather because it follows certain patterns. People and LLMs can trick you into thinking they are highly intelligent because they can speak eloquently but that doesn't mean they are intelligent themselves. These LLMs can't understand inference or extrapolation, things that humans do easily (though we all know plenty of people that are idiots and can't do this).

The same can be said about programming, which includes a lot more patterns. People joke that modern programming is slapping together APIs and it would be unsurprising that a (albeit really sophisticated) stochastic parrot can do this. But I've also seen it hand me code that looks correct but has major issues upon investigation.

Don't let something fool you just because it appears intelligent. Human or machine we must handle information with care.
