The thing has his just enough believability to make it possible and is unimportant enough to make it not worth investigating.

It's believable that some advisor thought it was a good idea to try, but also what if he did? Everyone remembers the bus thing in any case.

Model 3 is overpriced

As a tech worker myself I don’t want to support him at this moment either. I don’t like him for what is doing with Twitter drama.
Boris will not tell, and the PR consultant - as long as they are in business - will neither. So there is no proof possible for the forseeable future.
“Fine-tune our model (OpenAIs GPT-3 davinci-003 engine)”

I think there is a mistake in the article. It is not possible to do fine-tuning for the latest davinci-text-003, but only for the original davinci model, which generates much worse results.
In the most expensive locations I would agree that it is not very competitive, and the same goes for entry-level police and other needed services. (Though nimbys reap what they sow here.) The entire education system is inefficient and anachronistic. School should run all year, simply emphasizing more sports and nature in the summer. Then you don't need to fit the career and compensation structure of the personnel into seven contract hours a day working 180 days a year. You can pay a true salary, end regression and lower criminality in the summer, while also helping working parents be more productive.

Don't get me started though! College is even dumber. 36 weeks of class per year for 18 year-olds? Wtf. Kids graduate high school and ought to be in class or an apprenticeship the next Monday. Most young adults go to non-selective universities to get simple credentials like nursing or education. It's not about fancy internships at Google or other nonsense like gap years. That's relatively decadent stuff most young adults can't indulge in.
I would participate in the Proton Charity Fundraiser. You can buy tickets which would allow you to win Proton lifetime account and at the same time, you would support really cool FOSS projects, such as: GrapheneOS, Qubes OS, Tor Project.

Proton is fine, but their Charity Fundraiser is awesome: https://proton.me/blog/2022-lifetime-account-charity-fundrai...
I just fined the Tesla share price incredible hard to justify, I know they are a growing company with big ambitions but the numbers just don't work.

Tesla:

- Market cap: $392.78 billion

- Q3 units sold: 343,000

VW Group:

- Market cap: $70.98 billion

- Q3 units sold: 2,181,300

Obviously they are slightly different companies, Tesla sell solar and battery storage products. And VW Group have brands that sell to a part of the market that Tesla hasn't entered yet.

However there is no way to look at those numbers and make it work. If you go with a market cap to sales ratio, Tesla investors and projecting sales of over 12 million per quarter to match VW...

On VW, they have nearly reached 7% BEV sales, steadily growing. And those cars are well reviewed.

Teslas "moat" is shrinking.

Which doesn't work well in a multi-devices landscape as the one we live in for many people (even if not the majority, because the majority probably just owns and uses a smartphone).
It's sad that now crypto=cryptocurrency. We already have great uses for cryptography, like private communications. I was expecting to read about that.
I don't think he takes his work seriously enough. He is too busy being a dilettante when it seems like he has the talent to focus on one business and od it well. It almost feels like Tesla Motors can't be trusted as a company fundamentally just because Musk will get bored of running it.
you are absolutely right that crypto is the wild west right now and people are getting scammed left and right, unfortunately. That being said to experienced crypto users the difference between banking with crypto and banking with banks is night and day. Crypto is far superior. So in the long run I expect as the infrastructure around crypto improves, and the scammers are beaten back, that will extend to every day retail users as well.
Why was it so obvious? Loads of institutions had their money there, what did they not notice that you saw?

Oh no. Apple has been infected by Meta. In all seriousness though, Apple can probably pull off some decent hardware in this space.
Easily be able to replace the battery yourself is meaningless on its own if the OEM doesn't also sell original batteries.

If you shop online for new batteries for old phones you're most likely getting a fake or an old battery repackaged as "new".

EU should first force the manufacturers to actually sell you original batteries for the phones they sell.
Shouldn't be a second nature, that is a good old well known useful pattern like right click for context menu, very essential.
Even if new methods are coined by some local reasons old and generic ones should be remembered to avoid the hopeless chaos the UX partisans push us into nowadays, doing things differently for the sole sake of doing differently.
I was astounded at GPT 3. Chat GPT is on another plane. It's so incredible, that I can hardly parse words for it.

It's as if an alien civilization landed and gave us teleportation technology.

I think it's fair to say that HAL finally exists.

Maybe i am just caught up in the hype. I don't know what will happen in 10 years, but I struggle to imagine AIs of this caliber will not be part of it.

It's definitely not perfect. Maybe i will have to eat my words at some point. There are a few times in life where you realize that things have changed. This has led to a paradigm shift in my assessment of the next few decades.

We will remember 2010-2050 as the age of AI, just like we think of 1910-1950 as the age of flight.
Tesla commands a premium because the cars make fart noises.
That feels like an unfair assumption considering building an air gapped computer would cost potentially over a thousand dollars and take time to build. Plus potentially acquiring furniture and/or reorganizing existing furniture to accommodate a new build.
> I'd be very interested to see your notes. Are they available anywhere, or were they the confidential IP of your client?

Hmm... Not sure about that. One part of my notes is embedded in comments to the code, another part exists as a standalone markdown file providing a high-level overview. I'd rather be overly cautious for the time being, but since they are part of the repository they might become available if my client ends up open sourcing the library.

If you have any specific questions feel free to shoot me an email (contact details in my profile)
What on earth are you talking about?

There is no universe in which having a local encrypted key vault that is not online and not synced to the cloud is less secure than having a cloud synched version of the same thing.

There is literally no way that can possibly be less secure.

So if your argument is that the convenience of it makes it more secure … I dont know to say except:

you’re wrong.

> Not only do these services provide better convenience, they make you more secure!

Nope.

> By the way, getting hacked in the password manager does not mean all your passwords leaked.

Nope. That’s not what it means. It means your encrypted vault was leaked, which includes your passwords, if they bother to crack it.

> which I'd argue is a reasonable trade-off.

Well, at least it’s fair to say you saved that as an opinion; fair. Other people probably agree that the security risk of using an online password vault is worth the convenience of using it.

Fair.

…but, fundamentally less secure.

Anyone who chooses to manage their own passwords, offline, is choosing a more secure, less convenient alternative.

I think that’s fair too; and, given number of hacks to lastpass, okta, etc… not, perhaps, terrible advice.

You don’t need cloud synced passwords.

You just want that, because it’s easy.
> A firm that scams it’s customers will have more money for marketing than an honest one, all else equal

That’s a smart way to put it. Also explains why I saw FTX marketed so much more heavily than Coinbase.
No thanks, both are too intrusive for me.
Hey HN!

I'm excited to share what I've been building for the last +5 years: SuperPlanner, an all-in-one daily planner and task manager for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

I tried many productivity apps but I was tired of switching back and forth between multiple apps to manage my day. I wanted to build an app that could allow me to manage my time, as well as my tasks, from a single place.

SuperPlanner is a native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It's written with Swift and follows the Apple Human Design Guidelines to ensure a clean and familiar user interface for Apple devices.

No account creation is required to use SuperPlanner, and your data is stored locally in your device and synced between your devices using iCloud.

There are many features on the app, from features to ensure you can fully organize your things to do, such as recurrence rules and priorities, to features to customize the app, such as colors, icons and accent colors.

I'm also launching the app on ProductHunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/superplanner

I hope you enjoy trying the app, and I look forward to hearing your feedback!
Just as a counterpoint: I've been really enjoying goodnotes on the ipad lately. GoodNotes is a notetaking app which is not an infinitely zoomable canvas. And I love it. (I'm not affiliated in any way, I'm just a huge fan).

Goodnotes documents are essentially paper notepads that you can write in. New pages are added to the document as you need them (usually by swiping right from the last page).

I've tried a couple infinitely zoomable canvases but I tend to make a bit of a dog's breakfast when I use them:

- Everything ends up in a seemingly random place in the document, and at different zoom levels. I personally find I tend to gradually zoom out while I write in infinite canvas apps. After awhile it gets increasingly difficult to find things I've written earlier because old things get small.

- There's no natural sense of "before" or "after" on an infinite canvas. This is kind of the point, but it makes me work harder to keep items arranged in space or tell a story after you've taken a bunch of notes. If you don't, then you've got to go hunting for things.

Goodnotes doesn't have this problem. I can sit down and just start writing, or flip to a new page and write there. Because pages have a natural order, my notes end up in a nice chronological ordering. Each page is individually coherent, and its easy to reorder & delete pages later if I want to throw away some of my rough note pages. And each page is screen sized. There's no ambiguity about how big each pen is, or what the right zoom level is for something I've written. Each page fits on the screen. The next page is a swipe away.

Infinite canvases are better for connecting disperate ideas - like mind mapping. But the notes I've taken in goodnotes feel easier to read later, or screen share and present. I find I tend to go back and read them more often.
On this regard, Guix is better than Nix imo : you can rewrite expressions quite easily in a programmatic manner thanks to Guile, which is also used for package definitions ( https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Defining-Package-Va... or https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Package-Transformat... )
Don’t you have more important things to worry about aside from DEI initiatives? You’re upset because…?
Every time you use lastpass to autofill a form. The log your ip adresses, a timestamp and the site you were logging into. Kinda sounds like the attacker got this data.

No it isn't. Tracking is a side issue, CCP can influence public opinion during elections by altering the "For You" algorithm.
This is so unfair to the article author. People do things to make money because you need money to live in society! People want to be financially and creatively independent and starting a business, or learning how, is a completely fine thing to do. You can do volunteer work, contribute to open source, or whatever else for free, but why do you have to deride someone for trying to sell software?
> Subtext

The legitimacy of the preflop charts was also mentioned in the article - ya know, the actual written, non-subtexty text.
The notion of “share price” is something I haven’t ever really understood.

As I understand it, if four people are queueing up to buy stock A for [$10, $9, $8, $7] and four other people are in line to sell for [$10, $11, $12, $13] then the people at the front match up and swap one unit of stock for $10, and the stock exchange lists A as being last valued at $10.

Stock B’s order books have four buyers at [$10, $1, $1, $1] and four sellers as [$10, $99, $99, $99]. Again the matching buyer and seller exchange $10 for one unit of stock, the exchange shows B on its ticker for $10, and we say that company A and company B have the same value.

B’s future looks a lot more bleak. Buyers say it’s a junk stock, only worth a dollar. Sellers claim the company is way under-valued: you need the best part of a hundred dollars to convince them to give up their share.

People say these things in real life — retail investor blogs, Mad Money, fund forecasts etc. — but those are just words compared to actual buy/sell orders. Do exchanges give us insight into what their order books actually look like, instead of just quoting the last price where a buyer and seller matched?

I want this problem to be symmetric in such a way that A and B truly do have the same value, as shown by the market, but something about the $1 buy price for B feels more important than the $99 sell price. I think it’s because buyers have actual dollars — the things we need to buy food and shelter — so what they say is more important than what B’s snake-oil stock-sales people claim.
It sounds like you’re thinking about recording facts. The CBC algorithm doesn’t change and doesn’t contain human uncertainties.

Designing or planning something is different. You want to record options, potential paths that may not be taken, input from various people with different viewpoints. A graph structure can help manage that by making the branching and grouping more explicit.

It doesn't mention the JNI because I didn't use it (the Java implementation was from scratch and did not include native code)
> but it's not checkable without some other way to come up with a value

which is the whole point - the value doesn't exist independently of what someone else values it for their own purpose. There's no objective measure of value, like the objective measure of some quantity like weight or energy.

So the free-market assumption is that everyone is always selfish but rational, and thus would only transact if the resulting transaction is beneficial.

in all the cited examples of otherwise, the transaction is fraudulent - someone tricking someone else (which is, technically already illegal, if somewhat un-enforcible all the time).
yes yes, i was contemplating game streaming.
No, they haven’t. ChatGPT has the same prompt history limitations as other models, and cannot generate entire end to end applications.

What you’ve seen is applications running on top of chatGPT and using it iteratively to generate multiple code segments.
I think there are two options in Chrome's password manager. One is to decrypt with the computer's password. The other is to use your Google account authentication for decryption.
Technical writing benefits from Practical Style (the reader's time is important, the reader wants to get a job done, easy parsing of sentences is important), so I'd recommend:

Joseph M. Williams, Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace.

An old edition is fine. There are many editions with slightly differing titles (Toward Clarity and Grace, The Basics of Clarity and Grace), all of them are fine. Get the cheapest or fastest to deliver or whatever. Don't think about which one to get.
Tesla fanboys claim Tesla is a vertically integrated company competing in different markets, hence having a huge TAM and higher chance for growth.

I just checked their delivery date in California

If you are buying Model Y, you can have readily available inventory

If you are buying model 3, the delivery date is about a month

The demand is absolutely softening
You memorize the answers? Like, I had an entire week of third grade where they wanted us to do a table of 100 basic arithmetic problems, and it was really a test of whether you remembered that 8+9=17 rather than some sort of actual understanding of what “eight”, “nine” and “the combination of eight and nine” meant.

I think arithmetic in general is actually one of the most difficult things to test understanding of, because there’s not a whole lot of understanding involved. It’s kind of axiomatic for the rest of math to build on top of. I would attribute “understanding” more to being able to synthesize useful results from properties like addition and subtraction being inverses of each other, being able to form relationships like “two small numbers added together are always less than two big numbers added together”, etc. But I did actually start this thread by asking how you would test for this, because I believe doing so is quite difficult. I don’t think I’ve seen many a test that people haven’t tried to game without “understanding” the subject.
Unless I missed it they have left out the critical information about the timing of when the password database backup was taken. This makes enormous difference ... it could be that the attackers have had months to brute force this already if it occurred shortly after the August incident vs if it happened yesterday it is very unlikely they have brute forced many accounts.

If they don't know they should say they don't know, if they do know they should absolutely be telling people this!
Likely not. It seems to be more of a supply practice in order to promote lot turnover and prevent previous model years from sitting on the lot rather than help the company's finances directly. There's a perception that if an older model year car is on the dealership lot brand new, either the model is undesirable or that specific car has a defect. Unfounded or not the brands don't want that association.
You can't just look at mcap but forget to factor in debt. vwgroup $402.96B

On my Ubuntu, there are many cross-assemblers (including ARM, RISC-V and PowerPC) and linkers available in packages. These packages have binutils in their name. Once installed, the assembler command has -as at the end of its name, and the linker has -ld there.

Congratulations to the app builder - only small bit of feedback is on the app landing page, under how much does it cost you call it a 'subscription' rather than a one of purchase. That could put some people off who think they will be charged again (weekly, monthly, yearly?)
Interesting, I wonder how they could make a case for that. Do you have any references? I have heard of developers independently reimplementing GPLed code, being careful not to read a single line of the original code to avoid any chance of their work being seen as a derivative work (this is quite similar to what I did in this case btw).
Pico8 is a platform for game development, it emulates a fictional 8 bit console with era-typical limitations on memory, display resolution and colors, etc...
And if that was the case wouldn't same risk profile apply to something hacking the file from your device?
The "footgun" barrel would be an excellent image for a editorial cartoon about Elan.

OTOH, making light of the all-too-real issue of friendly fire can go over poorly with older folks, those who've served, and those who've lost family members.
>Noone parts with money for an exchange that they don't find useful.

Come on, there's many. You can, for example, manipulate people to pay for something. You can get them addicted, so that they become repeat customers, despite rationality. You can lie to a lot of people, so that you will have one time customers, but you can do that to a large crowd. You can quasi-force people to buy something, if it's a prerequisite for something else.

Just because people buy something, it doesn't mean it's useful. Far from it.

As a software engineer what is the use-case for these kind of 'code generation' tools? Are they good enough to generate different scripts for OS tasks? Can they automate CRUD APIs? What level of detail is required to use them? Like, do I basically have to describe an algorithm in English or can I go up to a higher level and talk about features and what the software ought to do? Are these tools good enough to improve my productivity in any way or is this more for demos?
