Actually, MBA schools actively teach people to be shitty to their employees and instill a sense of superiority. It's a scheme of sorts.
I'd love to see what kind of scraping tech Facebook use. I've been getting increasingly frustrated with the python scrapers and ecosystem and have been checking out Colly. But I'm sure whatever they have built must be nuts.

I wonder if you could train scrapers with AI with a reasonable level of success.

Pokhran-II was a series of five nuclear bomb test explosions conducted by India in May 1998, Pakistan responded with six underground nuclear tests at the Chagai and Kharan test site conducted fifteen days after India's last test.

It was all abit unexpected at the time and the US was interested to know how it came to be that Australians were present.
I’ve thought about this a little too. I’m a Windows developer and it’s depressing to think about how many Windows users there are and, aside from games, how few great new user applications come out. The Mac may not be thriving, but that seems to be where interesting new stuff comes out.

I’ve come to believe that raw market size doesn’t matter. For many, computers are about as interesting as dishwashers. What a platform needs are passionate users.
Who cares if he did it to make himself more famous? He helped 1000 blind people see. Celebrities who get famous from sex tapes get less flack.

Imagine if we encouraged this sort of behavior and Instagram was full of people helping others instead of people showing their ass.

Also ChatGPT is way way better in English than even other common European languages for which it sounds like poorly translated English. So it's also going to hit very differently outside the Anglosphere.

They're not even using the real names of the characters, so maybe there's some legal issues.
This rabbit hole goes waaay deep.

Why should people believe anything you say on this topic? How can they know you're not a bot or a psy-ops troll working for Xi or Putin with the mission to undermine the very fabric of Democratic societies?

What truths/facts should people NOT doubt when they're using "common sense" and thinking "critically". Are we not all affected by propaganda that directly targets what we consider "facts" and "common sense"?

So, to complete the paradox, I will claim one "fact": As humans there are VERY FEW "facts" we can know from first principles, and there are even fewer pinciples we can now for a fact to be universal, or even useful.

We DEPEND on at least some authorities, whether those are people, institutions, ideas or beliefs.

When someone says "think critically!", they mean that you should put some higher burden of evidence on SOME of your beliefs. But not all, and definitely not those that this someone take as axiomatical truths.

An my main worry is not to find some celebrity's face on PornHub. My main concern is the day when almost everything we see that claims to be news has been tampered with in such a way. If we have now way to tell a deepfake from a true video, we can be made to believe absolutely anything. This can be used to ruin lives, trigger wars, including civil wars, cause nuclear holocaust. And it's already happening. Twitter is full of lies of every kind and from all parties and countries.

We may need to find a way back to a world where there is one main shared narrative that we can all more or less trust. Where the custodians of the institutions that provide the narrative understand the need to maintain the trust and the risks involved in undermining the trust for personal gain, and where there are checks and balances that removes bad actors from such positions.

Without this, I believe we're f'ed, but HOW to obtain it, I don't know.

> I grew up with "System Error Type 11 (Restart)" on a weekly basis; nothing like that happens any more.

This probably explains why we don't understand each other.

I grew up with fairly crashy stuff too, don't get me wrong. I ordered stuff on a Minitel, for heck sake.

However, I suspect the fact we're old timers makes it even harder to sympathize with "normal people" confronted with unstable systems.

Because, a page not displaying properly on your phone, a form not liking your first name because it has a hyphen, a website suddenly switching to Spanish for half its content, a email that says "you'll soon receive " before not receiving anything, the message received in batch of 10 explaining that your subscription will now be "${sub}€", etc... All those things (that I literally encountered _this weekend_, on systems developped by big corporations and / or public service platforms): we hackers call them "annoyances" ; fancy people call them "bugs".

Real people call them "stuff that does not work".

And when your are forced, by law, to use stuff that does not work because the software got all the funding, and people are too expensive, then, some real people call it "barbary".

It's "death by a thousand cuts", for sure, in a world where so many die by actual bullets. So maybe it does not warrant a violent uprising.

But you'd be surprised how much I hear it contributing to the overall anger - being the rich "computer guy" trying to help the real people navigating this.
Demystifiying SMPC (Secure multi-party computation) and its threat model
One addition on receiver side amplification: it is done all the time. Each piece of equipment has a noise floor that can be higher than the one in the signal (think weak signals but with a good SNR). A low noise amplifier at the receiver can improve the signal in that case.
What utterly horrible minds in that comment thread. The justification that other bad things happen means we can reasonably create more evil is disgusting.

Those posses a complete lack of a moral compass.
backtracking isn't hard to implement, though. Depth-first search is more or less what it is. But erlang lost most of the prolog ancestry, backtracking isn't there, for example. BEAM has a lot of concurrency neatness though, hard to reimplement or even mimic in languages not specifically tailored for from ground up.
Noo don't you'll flood the sync servers and then they'll have to put in ads and tracking and annoying animated birds to keep it all running
Really cool to see! I totally agree that GPT models will revolutionise education, and a few thousand students are using a tool I've launched in that space that runs on PDFs and Youtube videos.

It's specifically optimised LLMs to align with the Anki Minimum Information Principle, here's a 15 second GIF of StudyWand.com - https://studywand.com/images/splash/getStudyingGIF.gif

... showed it on r/GetStudying a few days back mentioning Anki MIP!: https://www.reddit.com/r/GetStudying/comments/10lg4ci/automa...

... it has >98% recall on psychology (compare to between 70-95% recall depending on the subject for the SOTA AIs). We achieve this through quoted filtering - 80%+ of questions are quoted to specific slides or time stamps in YouTube videos.

Would love to chat with you Tomte.
Darwin agrees. I've watched live how this goes with a young family of rats. The first 2 got caught in the trap and the others were already pretty scared off by the closing mechanism kicking in. Left it like that for a couple of minutes, then I put the caught ones somewhere else then reinstalled the trap. The next 3 nor the mother came anywhere near the trap. Not even after moving it to a different location, nor with different types of food inside, nor with a different trap with a somewhat different shape.
A few benefits of the hypermedia approach are:

- It can be a much simpler approach to building an application. As evidence for this fact, consider Contexte's experience moving from react to htmx for their Saas application: https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/. They reduced their codebase to 1/3rd the size with no reduction in UX, dropped JS dependencies by 95%, etc. Not every project is this amenable to hypermedia, but many are.

- Related to this, hypermedia is the "native" architecture of the web, and browsers have a lot of technology built into them for it. htmx is a depenedency-free 12k library because it builds on top of that model.

- By adopting hypermedia as your system architecture, you push your logic back onto the server side, where you are free to use whatever programming language you prefer: clojure, python, haskell, etc. This lets you write more code in your preferred programming language and execution environment.

- The server side is a trusted computing environment, so you can have complete access to a data store when writing logic there. This is in contrast with the browser, where you can't have unrestricted access to the data store due to the fact that a hostile user can open a console and start manipulating the data store. On the server side, you can just use SQL. On the client side, you can't, without putting your whole data store at risk.

There are certainly tradeoffs associated with the hypermedia approach: it doesn't work well in situations when you need to respond quickly to many UI-driven events, it sacrifices representational efficiency for flexibility, etc. There isn't a silver bullet, after all.

With htmx I am trying to expand the set of applications for which the hypermedia approach will work, but I have no illusions that it will work for everyone: nothing is right for everything.
More is not better. This article has approximately 9000% too many words.

> Where, exactly, are these good cops and what are they doing?

I can't believe this comment is not only not flagged dead, but actually is the top reply here. Sometimes HN really is a caricature of liberalism.

I mean, seriously. Where are any good cops? ANY? And what are they doing?? This is so profoundly ignorant I'm not sure where to start.

- youve never seen someone tearing down the interstate going 40mph faster than surrounding traffic? Or swerved all over road? Or ran red lights? Who do you think is taking care of those problems?

- you know literally 0 people who are or were criminals and know 0 people who've been victims? I've known murderers and drug dealers. People get robbed, fights break out, domestic disputes happen.

Im not a fan of the current state of policing in America, but policing is hard and extremely dangerous; there are more guns than people here. Someone has to enforce the rule of law at their own peril. You don't have have to ignore the bad to take the good, but don't act like it's not a useful, necessary, and dangerous profession. Don't be a child.
Dublin (and really Irish cities in general are a bit more mixed). Because of restrictions on smoking indoors in the 2000s, many restaurants and bars have had time to build outdoor areas pre-covid. In some of those, where the outdoor area was nice enough (e.g not on the roadside, not a little cubbyhole which used to be just a yard for bins that was converted, and sufficiently spaced that smoke from the smokers is unlikely to reach you), you'd have non-smokers also choose to use the outdoor area.

I think those places that were already set up for this before the pandemic, along with those who have managed to create such an experience, will continue with a slight uptick in outdoor dining.

Those who just put some tables and chairs on the pavement in front of the store will not, especially amongst increasing calls to reclaim that space for pedestrians and cycle lanes.
Nope. It's a market targeting thing. I don't have the resource to deal with people who haven't played before, as well as people who have. For beta testers, if someone hasn't played a TTRPG before, they're not suitable. They wouldn't have anything to compare to.
Does "BEAM" mean anything / is an acronym?
> I was raised by a drug dealer/drug addict/gang member single mom. One of the reasons I’ve been financially successful is because I never wanted my life to be like the lives of the people I grew up around. Where’s the luck there?

Well,

1. You were born in a rich country.

2. You were born in an age where the phrase "financially successful" even makes sense. You could have been born in the stone age, for example.

3. You were born as a human. You could have been a mosquito (16,000x higher odds, actually)
If the tasks or people suck, giving shit is tiresome. Way better to do half assed job and spare some mental energy to use on your terms in the evening.
That's totally fair, I should be more conscious about different positions (and not get stuck in "as someone with a stable income..." thinking) and you're right these things can build. Curie as a model should cost 1/10th of Davinci - also the recent models are all better I think so if you've not tried them since the GPT-3.5 release it might be worth trying the smaller ones again. If you could get that to $2/semester it's a lot more palatable, as long as the quality isn't too bad. Maybe there's a flow where you can identify low performing cards/subsets so you can do 90% in Curie and 10% in Davinci.

I think my expectation of this kind of service (on demand huge network) is fixed monthly fees, call us for pricing, etc. It's cool that it's approachable as a student. It'll be very interesting as costs for these things drop and/or performance improves at the same price points.
It just turns out you can't always do that in a real codebase. For example see here:

https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/23efd8e5b1aa96ef01640fec03a5fedc945ba8b9/src/couch_mrview/src/couch_mrview_http.erl#L228
Jurassic Park redux
You should really use different modules/classes/files and folders/packages/namespaces for this.
It's kind of what people can do already using their own imagination. You can imagine a set of characters and stories that goes on forever and stays the same. AI would just flesh it out with actual writing and visuals, but I'm not sure if it's that is a huge improvement.
The article says that dynamically typed code and statically typed code has a similar number of bugs per line.

It also says that a software feature only needs 1/2.5 lines if you are using dynamic typing.

That means dynamic typing reduces bugs by 2.5x compared to static typing per software feature.
>can't wait for an UBI-based + social welfare future

if you're a programmer working now in most places, and in the future you are going on UBI, you will probably be going bankrupt because UBI will not be paying anywhere near what you are earning now.
Ikea Tradfri buttons/switches have been a gamechanger for me. They're zigbee, very well built, well supported and cheap. Have a nice solid feel with proper mounts that are magnetic, Have mounted them in place of regular switches around the house and they just work, no user training required (although I use with homeassistnat which is still very hobbish on the setup side) but my wife can use it all without needing to know whats going on in the background. Can do smart stuff in addition, i.e press the on button multiple times to cycle between scenes.

The other thing is automations, I've got a bunch of timed automations, certain lights come on at dusk, heating comes on half an hour before the alarm goes off in the morning and heats only the rooms I tend to use at the correct times, so office is heated during work hours and living room comes on for the evening/weekends - all can be overridden from my phone or voice or whatever but ideally that's the exception as I find voice clunky and phone takes quite a few steps.

If my phone was able to display the controls for the room I'm in without requiring an unlock that'd be good but for now but generally I find tactile buttons much nicer to interact with.
My thought is: if you think conspiracy culture war shitshows are bad now with whatever people on both sides having talking heads saying whatever feeds red meat to their base, imagine trying to bridge the gap in a world with infinite red meat generators competing with each other for audience eyeballs forever.
It's interesting that none of the responses so far include: make a novel discovery that changes the world. There are productivity gains in some ways I suppose. Using the models may be cheaper than hiring a human. But it looks like this won't become AGI because it has no understanding of the training data.
It's increasingly the case. Web countercultures died in the 2010s, and what has replaced them is rather fringes within or coveting the mainstream. Streaming has broken the backs of a lot of music counterculture and overrun it with scene tourists who don't really participate in the culture.
I disagree vehemently and violently with this suggestion. Dwarf Fortress's charm results from human-crafted procedures interacting in unexpected and fascinating ways.

If ChatGPT (or other AI bullshit generators) were used instead, it would change the experience entirely.
\tangent on "system-two counteracting system-one": visualization (imagining a desired outcome as having already happened) engages system-one. It brings a far-future gratification into the present, so you can be motivated far beyond your "natural" motivation. All you need is an outcome that engages your system-one.

(+ 1 2 3) vs +(1 2 3) is just a small syntactic difference and has no bearing on whether the language is homo-iconic or not. The translation from code to data is equally trivial for both syntaxes.

Meeting real people involves risk. Risk of social awkwardness, boredom, getting hurt, drama, messiness. It's a lot of effort. There are already a thousand ways for people to meet others on the internet, but people choose to passively consume media instead.
> > it WILL be developed no matter how much people wish it wouldn't.

> Sure, but there's a value in delaying that development. Delaying harm is a valid tactic.

It is a horrible tactic when your adversary has ultra-deep pockets & mountains of bodies to throw at the problem.

Whatever's being developed here has 1/10th the capability of the tech being developed in black site facilities at the behest of national militaries.
And yet I eventually provided evidence for what I'm saying and the other party provided nothing at all.

It's not bad faith because you don't like the arguments conclusions.
And that's for regular releases. I'd be surprised if the initial drop wasn't much stronger for something that has already been a living legend for many years. That initial wave of "oh, I've heard so much of them, probably won't play even with a graphical mode, but I still want it in my library" is one of a kind. The long tail will probably be much flatter, but only compare to regular releases once you separate out everybody who bought in roughly the same way those nice hardback Shakespeare collections are bought.
It is much more useful for privacy concious people not wanting to give Zoom more data for their face detection database. All in all it's good for humanity when technology can counteract other evil tech that will spy on you.
As GeorgeMD pointed out, there's some required reading.
So I'm curious as to why UHF and VHF require larger antennas. My parent's house was about 100 miles from the WTC and the antenna was massive. People in the city though used smaller sized ones.

WOW. I have been looking into this at work today, and windmill is def. what I was looking for, a low-code solution that do not hate code (as text). Thank you so much for creating this. The value prop. that you have in the intro[1] is perfect. The first paragraph on github is maybe correct. But I'm still not sold on what it actually does. Marketing is hard. Hope you will succeeded, the product looks great!

Hey, thanks for the reply, those are some very good points your raised. I'll explore the resources you shared as well.

The trick with this kind of project is the outcome. The way I was thinking about it was mostly as a personal side project. But if it requires more resources and effort than that then it's a different topic.

It's not clear who'd benefit from this, beyond an interesting curiosity to toy with here and there.
One wrinkle: you have to be on public insurance if you're employed and making less than about 60k EUR/year (adjusts with inflation, more or less) AND (starting a few years ago) have been working less than three or four years. You get an exemption to the earnings rule if you're part time during the early parental years.

So that's how they make sure that most of the healthy, young people are in the public insurance system for at least a few years.
Yeah...

Just have to remember that the year comes before the time zone but after the seconds :clown:

No idea where that came from. Probably the time format from the punchcard machine at bell labs.

If it was iso 8601 based, it would almost make sense.

The benefit is to use for something else that benefits them :P
It's a shame this is US only.

Typically companies that do that will later release in ~10 more countries, or maybe even 50 more, and then give up.

If you live in Mozambique, the chances of ever being able to buy this are pretty much nil.
Thanks, I'll look into Software Architecture while also just pushing ahead and prepare for some heavy refactoring!
If all you want is a LM and it doesn't need to be trained by you or run on infrastructure you control, you could try to see whether ChatGPT already understands well enough. A Tunisian friend of mine told me that he asked it to tell a joke in Tunisian Arabic and it worked, only the joke wasn't funny.

If you want or need to train on your own data, social media is a good bet for colloquial language. You could try exporting your own data to get something to play with without having to write a crawler. Or try building a language classifier first and use it to filter https://commoncrawl.org/
The paranoid part of me has me thinking that all this sounds tailor made to showcase a product and a capability in a relatively safe setting. And you're really so hot on nuclear tech: don't lose your sources. That way you don't have to show off later on how good you are at finding them, aka the 'hero model' applied to nuclear physics.
Ask HN: Where is everyone finding interview partners for idea validation?
The common advice is to talk to a lot of people to understand pain points and validate your idea as much as possible.

In B2B it's not always that easy to find the right people. Sure, cold calling/emailing works to a certain extend but is more or less a pure numbers game.

Is there something like a linkedin but for people who are willing to talk about their work, challenges, ...?

Alternatively, do you have any hacks how to find such people on linkedin?
