Like most things Microsoft gets into they're racing straight to third place from the sizable lead OpenAI has established. ChatGPT took the world by storm just 6 weeks ago, being the first large-scale experiment of RLHF, but competitors are biting at their heels already.

From what's being said on social media, the most common complaints are that each update seemingly trades off capability for more safety. A sound strategy if their goal is to eventually integrate it into Teams as Clippy 2.0. Enterprises would be unhappy about a chatbot that actually answered every question honestly. But that strategy will not win them the consumer market.

Large language models at their core are the application of techniques, data, and training time meaning there is virtually no barrier to entry. The techniques are widely known, the data is widely accessible, and a couple million dollars is not unreachable even for individuals. Just like DALL-E is all but forgotten in the footsteps of Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, ChatGPT will soon be eclipsed by free and open models as well.

I am coming late to this thread, but I'd also like to note: we don't exist in a vacuum. In less than 10 years, we've had severe civil schism and a worldwide pandemic. These things can activate our fight-flight-freeze-fawn system, which specifically takes energy from higher thought. That last sentence I need to underscore as actual neuroscience, not anything hippy-dippy. The cure is, among other things, to be kind to yourself. Again, neuroscience: to assure that system within you that you are okay helps return the system to better functioning.
Programming Interviews Turn Normal People into A-Holes
Totally agreed. It's a strange vibe because it feels like it wants to be hard SF, but it's really not. Maybe it's something about the translation?

It's very Asimov-like, in that the elements where the author puts in the most thought and energy are about human interactions (or human/psychic, human/alien, human/robot, etc) handled in a very rationalist, almost mechanistic way.

And also like Asimov, there's super-science stuff (e.g. warp drives in Foundation, time travel in The End of Eternity) that isn't "explained" in any way, it's just part of the setting.

Even that was not quite right. Just take a look at those leading providers' financial reports, none would be pretty.

This trilogy is the first one that I read that is on the same level, or even better, than Asimov's novels.

Concepts and ideas here are much bigger, but there are so many cramped into every book that sometimes it feels like a Rick & Morty show. And I like that the point of technology is that no matter how advanced you are, there is always a bigger fish.

Edit: clarified first sentence.
A window does represent an application on some systems. It doesn't on the Mac, because of the aforementioned single-menu problem. It turns your entire screen into the client area for a single application, whereas other windowing GUIs treat the desktop as an infinite workspace that can show many applications.

That makes it EASIER to deal with "each independently."
As someone who only ever bought what you would describe as "trash" cars of up to 2000 Euros, let me give you some data.

Looking through my car repair/TCO excel file, I average to about 60 Euros per month in maintenance and repairs (that includes stuff like new tires every once in a while). Over the average lifetime of my cars (which is 5 years), that's 3600 Euros in repairs and maintenance. I regularly sell the cars for 500 Euros, so that's a TCO of ((2000-500)+3600) = 5100 Euros per vehicle, or about 1020 Euros per year.

The initial, 6-month manufacturer-suggested service for a new car alone is upwards of 2000 Euros, for a car that should not have and trouble. Most cars are nowadays impossible to repair yourself, or repair cheaply (new headlight bulb was 3 Euros before, now you have to change the whole 1300 Euro unit). But let's assume I'll have 150 Euros in maintenance per month... that's 9000 Euros. Depreciation over 5 years easily is a third of the vehicle's value, let's say 10000 Euros overall, on top of maintenance and repairs. Together, I get to a TCO per year of 3800 Euros, or a whopping 2780 Euros more!

Now, fuel efficiency. I drive about 25000 km/year. My clunkers consume - on average - 7.5 liters per 100 km - that's about 31.4 MPG. For something comparable, the manufacturer (if we want to believe them) currently lists about 5.8 liters per 100 km, or 40.6 MPG. This means that I could save 475 liters of fuel with a new car. A liter right now costs about 1.80 Euros, meaning I am leaving savings of 855 Euros on the table.

So ... I pay 2780 Euros more to save 855 Euros - BEFORE the extra cost of a loan to buy a new car ... NOT a good deal.
Gorgeious.

I would even use this just to be cool in the public :)

PIM Programming in Spiral: Upmem Demo
Here is a demo of a backend for a Process-In-Memory chip. It is a demonstration of Spiral's ability for heterogeneous programming. I want to do more backends for different kinds of devices, and posting this on HN to gauge the interest in this kind of work. While x86 devices have a ton of good languages, new and niche hardware is likely to have poor language support and tooling, so I am hoping to fill that gap with Spiral. Whether you are a company that has some new kind of hardware or a user of it and you are fatigued of programming it in C, that is what I aim to alleviate. Going from a low level language like C to a high level one like Spiral would significantly boost your productivity.

The backend I am demoing here is for UPMEM, but now that I have it as a template, I could easily make similar backends for other kinds of devices assuming I have access to at least a simulator.
Right now they don't have a unique selling point (USP). Rust could've been that selling point but they instead focused on making divisive UI changes and adding subscriptions.

Also their crusade against taking money from Google is ill-conceived. There's simply no other source of revenue for a web browser (unless they start their own search engine, but that would be suicide since Google would immediately cut off their funding).

They should focus on building the best and most secure browser and then their market share will almost certainly improve.
Oh, then I'm not sure what you mean. That line makes sense - the final benchmarks were performed on the author's machine. That's where the conclusion comes from.

In theory, the spread between two benchmarked programs is not going to be hugely different between machines unless one is taking advantage of the hardware of one of the machines where the other doesn't (e.g. new syscall mechanisms such as io_uring, SIMD support, multithreading in some cases, etc).

2-3x is a much more reasonable spread than 100x. If they really did have 100x speedups, then the culprit may be the fact they're using obscenely old hardware, which would be disingenuous given that people are not typically running graph databases on such infrastructure anymore.
I’ve been in and out of the Wordpress ecosystem for almost the last 20 years. Most “developers” on Wordpress/woo commerce/other popular wordpress plugins are very limited in what they can do. Most of them are limited to assembling code fragments from Stack.

I’d trust a Wordpress developer off fiver to install and configure a plugin, or adjust themes, but not to code and certainly not to understand security fundamentals.

https://st.suckless.org/ used to have a circa st-0.8 fork that supported full color sixel graphics, but it seems that specific patch is not in the official list anymore. [1] I think the work moved to https://github.com/jhhuh.

You can even compose the gnuplots with the scrollback patch to scroll back in your gnuplots. I use this all the time. In fact, I just have GNUTERM="sixelgd enhanced linewidth 3 fontscale 2 size 1600,900 truecolor" in my environment variables.

Combined with shell history (or gnuplot history) this makes for a rudimentary "notebook"-like interface, but with a log instead of a file to record state.

If you think Google should be embarassed to have written chrome, do you also believe that every other browser vendor should be even more embarassed to have written something less stable/performant/etc. than chrome?

That has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

I agree, but only after you have a product that works. Else, you will see yourself drawn into maintaining the admin features, and not the real product. There can be a middle ground: design your API with ACL from the start, and then the CRUD admin features would just work out of the box. Or there's a cool shortcut: Hasura and Appsmith. Hasura connects to my PostgreSQL data and provides authorization, while Appsmith just consumes the REST endpoints created with Hasura.

ChatGPT knows Elon Musk is Twitter’s CEO, despite its 2021 learning cutoff
Why do I need to OCR images and videos? Why not display those as-is?
This is true if you want to output ascii and mostly true for ANSI colours but otherwise I think this is very false. To point out some of the ways that it is false:

- different terminal (emulators) support different abilities

- those abilities are controlled with different control codes

- there isn’t much of a standard. There are some de-facto standards for advanced features from whichever terminal emulator first implemented them but there is a lack of bug-for-bug compatibility

- Unicode, character widths, rtl, etc. Unicode matters for things like this plotting program. What happens if you draw a double-width character? And then position your cursor ‘half-way’ through it?

- there is terminfo but it works in a janky way and you can get all sorts of problems if eg the remote box doesn’t have your terminal (or all it’s new features) in the terminfo file. To some extent you can copy over terminfo files but that doesn’t sound much like ‘standardized protocol’ or ‘cross-platform applications with minimal code’ to me.

- some apps don’t look at term info and eg just assume your terminal supports the same escape codes as the author’s

I basically feel like the above comment is making broad claims about the advantages of terminals however those claims are only narrowly true and importantly, aren’t true for the situation being talked about in the comment which those claims are made in response to.
This entire thread is focussed not on BNPL, but whether the entire concept of consumer debt makes sense.

Some folks say consumers should never take on debt for purchases, when they can save up instead. Others point out that it’s unavoidable in some cases. You may need a car to get to your job, meaning the asset you purchased creates value that helps you pay for it.

And yet others point out that you shouldn’t be financing food delivery. If you can’t afford that delivery now, then you probably can’t afford it spread over 12 months.

But ultimately this comes down to risk vs reward inherent in any financial transaction. The amount of leverage each is person is willing to take depends on their risk appetite. And everyone’s risk appetite is different. The folks frustrated with those who take out a lot of debt can’t fathom why others have greater risk appetite. The folks who do take that debt can’t fathom what’s wrong with doing so when it’s within their appetite.

That’s it, that’s the thread.
This should happen on monorepos as well as per-service repos. So it is not argument for any side of that discussion.

Yes, but the app is not a human and will likely interact with the website in a more predictable (and thus, detectable) way than the human itself would.
If this works the way it says it does, this will be life changing for using Kicad. Kicad is pretty decent in everything except library management, and the fifteen step dance you have to do in order to import any third party components gets more and more aggravating every time I do it.
Well that's what a monorepo is! I work on one, it's very large, other teams can consume partial artifacts from it (because we have a release system that releases parts of the repo to different locations) but if they want to change anything, then yeah they have to PR against the giant monorepo. And that's good!

Teams out of the repo have to be careful about which version they pull and when they update etc. However, if you are a team IN the monorepo, you know that (provided you have enough tests) breaking changes to your upstream dependencies will make your tests fail which will block the PR of the upstream person making the changes. This forces upstream teams to engage (either by commits or by discussions) with their clients before completing changes, and it means that downstream teams are not constantly racing to apply upgrades or avoiding upgrades altogether.

I work on shared library code and the monorepo is really crucial to keeping us honest. I may think for example that some API is bad and I want to change it. With the monorepo I can immediately see the impact of a change and then decide whether it's actually needed, based on how many places downstream would break.
No, it is not "better".
Ashkenazim have relatively high rates of inherited BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. These are associated with high lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancer, but also prostate and pancreatic cancer. If someone with Ashkenazi heritage gets one of these cancers, they are reflexively tested for BRCA1/2 mutations. There are various mitigating strategies, so it is worth finding out I think, but the right way to go about it is to see a genetic counsellor.

About the AA, it seems to be herbal supplements that are the primary concern (see https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cms_ia/importalert_141.html). Normal ginger is fine, wild ginger is the problem. Wild ginger isn’t used in cooking as I understand it.
You are correct. But the construction cost of these is dirt cheap. I have bought similar non-movable models from Chinese companies for about 2 dollars. These ones are priced at 10-20 times as much but the wood and cutting quality is more like twice as good.

Though I wonder whether one can reduce parts wear somewhat by painting the wood with something.
Mind you that only a handful of developers worked on LadyBird and it has Javascript and CSS working.

LadyBird only needs video and WebRTC to be fully functional for day-to-day use by non-power users.

WebSockets and WebGL would be nice too, but that will take some time. Most other API's are cruft, such as WebUSB (a Google contraption that more or less ignores security).
>the author puts in the most thought and energy are about human interactions

During my reading, I thought this was the point. I'm not sure the stories were trying to be in any specific genre, maybe genre-adjacent at best, but the author wanted to focus on what happens to the human and humanity with all this advanced, arguably fantastic tech.
Honestly, that would be incredible for so many purposes! vTubers and amateur media creators would love to be able to just speak and have it translated into their voice of their characters in a more natural way!

Would also be an interesting one for theme parks, since it could led the costumed characters speak in the voices of the relevant characters rather than remaining silent, which would add a lot to the sense of immersion there too. (something like the website on the other hand could let the animatronics, CGI characters and others hold conversations with guests too, which would also be neat)

I wholeheartedly agree. I think you may find a good read on electoral transparency which develops that further:

From the top thread, I thought you attacked the notion of a digital identity itself.
My conviction is that a selective memory is a defence mechanism against being overflown with he noise of everything. For being able to work/live with, rely on the important things, construct new concepts/thought out of those managable number of selected ones instead of every piece of sand it encounters. The real important things inherently become a backbone of our self without wanting it, actively choosing or dedicating (forcing?) it to become important. The rest fade.

Of course the burden of the selective mind is the need to relearn things like me with names (among others). The certainly tens but perhaps hundreds of thousands of names I met in my life makes my brain forget all names (name of a particular person) I first meet in 10 seconds now. I just pay no attention without being aware of not paying attention, it is an automation. I need to use names several times, repeatedly to become a reliable filament of the inner network forming my consciousness and the representation of the world I live in. Those who are important and part of my life will unavoidably be imprinted and solidified in my memory, the rest without use dropping out for good. Old names fading into grey like the balls of memories in the movie Inside Out.

Yes.

Hundreds of people are writing it even now, adding to that massive codebase. The people writing code in Rust will mostly be drawn from among those same people.

They might not be the ones who have been coding the bugs. If not, the new code will, perforce, not be less buggy. If they are the ones who have been coding the bugs, we should expect new bugs.
