I've been wondering whether since it requires login, this thing maintains all prior conversation with the user as a preliminary state when you engage with it, or whether it flushes prior conversations at some point. Or whether you can flush them if you want to. It sounds like you can't and they're locked in...
Weird. I had a similar experience: I was suddenly caught very close to a shootout in which someone was killed, and the PTSD (not necessarily strictly PTSD because I don't know the diagnostic criteria, but definitely a lot of anxiety that came out later) was a big deal, and meditation has also helped me.

I often use Insight Timer on my phone, and I like Christiane Wolf's meditations.
Real-time video processing with FPGAs
Also, “durability” is not a property you can delegate to another service. Plenty of corruption is caused in-transit, not just at rest.

If your system handles the data in any way, you must compute and validate checksums.

If you do not have end to end checksums for the data, you do not get to claim your service adopts S3’s Durability guarantees.

S3 has that many 9s because your data is checksumed by the SDK. Every service that touches that data in any way recomputes and validates that (or a bracketed) checksum. Soup de nuts. All the way to when the data gets read out again.

And there is a lot more to Durability than data corruption. Protections against accidental deletions, mutations, or other data loss events come into play too. How good is your durability SLO when you accidentally overwrite one customer’s data with another’s?

Check out some of the talks S3 has on what Durability actually means, then maybe you investigate how durable your service is.

ps: I haven’t looked at the code yet, but plan to. Maybe I’m being presumptuous and your service is fully secured. I’ll let you know if I find anything!

False negative problem is so ridiculous. I work for a faang, I’ve worked at all kinds of “prestigious” companies, I have worked at all kinds of companies, I get paid more than most people will ever do in their lifetime, and most importantly I know my stuff. Yet there are companies out there rejecting me for job descriptions which are only 50% of my skill set because I couldn’t code this obscure hard algorithms problem in 45 mins. Makes absolutely no sense.

I know “tech interviews are bad” has been discussed at nauseam,but I feel compelled to write this because it still doesn’t get fixed.

PS: I am not salty. I’m one of those engineers who doesn’t care about company mission. I’ll work optimizing streaming at 4K for adult content websites if they pay me enough.
… non-GMO? How do you manage that? Is a culture considered non-GMO as long as you’re just pipetting colonies around and hoping for the them to be stressed the right way to evolve something useful?

Ya that could be, I'm in tech so I see it all day, but I tend to be [sometimes] pleasantly surprised at the libertarian ethos that still floats around Hn.. moreso than other platforms that just devolve into flame wars.

Obviously Musk has done some controversial stuff and it's going to piss people off, but do we believe that he has a vision for free speech (not anything goes but free speech as in classic ACLU values free speech) or not? How often does he not say exactly what he thinks?
In 2018, I took a year-long sabbatical from a FAANG company (FYI, I was principal level and it required VP approval). I had previously taken a few 1-3 month breaks between positions prior to the sabbatical. Although am I grateful for the extended breaks, they are far from a panacea and downright stressful if you set your expectations too high :).

Who exactly are Samsung users?
On the other hand, it's a great way to get a contact at SO, assuming anyone other than lawyers finds out about it.
Thanks for your response. I was under the impression that the UID of a user within a container matches that which it runs under in the host machine. It sounds like that is not the case.

From what I've read, the user running a container really starts to matter when the container is given access to the filesystem (using a volume). It sounds like the user within the container still wouldn't matter in this situation, but the user running the container on the host system would have to have appropriate permissions to the volume.
I'm not sure what you think inflation is, but it is just the prices of certain key items going up: food, housing, transportation are the main ones.

Corporations decide to set their prices higher, and you have a price inflation. We know that this is not merely a function of their inputs going up because many companies have been pulling in record profits during this time period. Nobody needs to meet in a smoke filled room for this to happen.

> And yet STEM graduates were getting $200K+ for their first jobs. How is that collusion working out?

You're being distracted with a nickel while your pockets are being emptied. It's all relative. Look at the cash big tech firms have in the bank. Google used 60B dollars to inflate their stock price this year with stock buybacks at the same time they laid of 6% of their workforce.
Sydney isn’t allowed to start global thermonuclear war… today

The software displays "* * *" when the comment is neither dead nor deleted, but the viewer doesn't have permission to see the text. The most common case* of this is when the commenter has 'delay' set to something more than 0 in their profile, and their delay period hasn't expired yet. That's why it goes away eventually. (Re 'delay', see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.)

You guys should really ask these questions in the right place! "possible cover-up", sheesh - I know it's fun to imagine sinister goings on but wouldn't you just rather find out?

Edit: this is fixed now... I think.
Your dad and mine were members of a very special club, and I'm sure they would have been fast friends. Thanks for talking about him!
The Delta variant did begin in an Indian village where vaccines were first being rolled out.
Yeah it seems like Remdesivir doesn’t get mentioned much anymore. IIRC it had not so great efficacy numbers in earlier studies where it was given later after someone came to the hospital with COVID. Also IIRC it trialed pretty well if given early on an outpatient basis. It seems like it could fill some of the hole left now that mAbs don’t work, especially for people who can’t take Paxlovid.
What’s the best way to find job postings in this industry?
I think it's a matter of scale. That's a 50W panel, it would relatively expensive to get an inverter and an inspection/plan from your power company just to be able to use the grid as a battery. Also it would be less efficient because of the AC conversion.

My personal preferred way to do this would be to have a stationary battery to charge up, and better solar panel positioning like you say, but that costs a bit more for that stationary battery. And if the only thing that battery/solar setup is used for is charging the bike, and you don't actually need more power then all that extra power is just gonna go to waste.
I looked at that video, seems like that should work real good for resistance training fitness. If James Grage is only doing resistance band training, it would definitely seem to be able to get one quite strong as he is a rather massive guy. I also looked at other videos there, he definitely seems knowledgable and already picked up several good tips. He points out that his joints feel much better compared to when he weight lifted... Traveling with several resistance bands should be quite easy... I think for lats, one would need a pull up bar or similar. It would be nice if he had comprehensive book on the subject.
> It's simply too risky for them to end up destroying the entire NATO relationship

The risk of blowing it up to make it irreversible seems to lack any real gains vs the risk it entails.
First of all, no, they're not adults. Kids can have phones, too.

Second, that's an extremely weak argument and I question if it's being made in good faith. But in case you are: the responsibility is on the manufacturer to make a safe product. That's why we have regulations on consumer product safety. You can't sell certain dangerous chemicals. You can't sell plastics with BPAs in them. Et cetera.

The consumer, when they have the product, also has their own responsibility to look out for their own safety. But that doesn't make it ok to give them something dangerous, especially if it's something that contains dangers most people don't even understand or know about, like malware. (Most people are "aware" of malware, but they have no idea how it works or how to protect themselves from it.)
My eventual goal for this image is to deploy it in a Kubernetes cluster. As you can tell I'm just starting this process, but I want to be mindful of how I can keep my container secure as it runs on shared resources.
Disney has been around for 100 years and owns so much cultural IP, has diversified to movies, parks, cruises, merchandise, and built their own streaming service that is crushing the competition.

They will exist for a very long time.
For a daily short commute it is probably enough, it would be for my daily commute of 40kms total on a pedelec. This is also a pedelec, so the practical answer is that it doesn't matter in any dimension since it can be charged from a wall when it's not sunny and it can be pedaled if it runs out, but it would be fun to know how much they have to plug it in.

In a pedelec after a certain point you and the battery are working together to maintain speed and it really doesn't take much battery. But there are so many variables that it's hard to talk about it meaningfully.

> In what way and why are you (well, actually a corporation with monetary interest) making a decision to lockout users because of those industries?

Did you forget that the conversation was about phones being locked down to protect against these kinds of malware?
How do you deal with updates (ideally, at a time of your choice)?
Good question! I've spent some time looking at Calcite and similar systems.

My hope is that it isn't an "either-or" but an "and". I also believe that Calcite is primarily database-oriented, as are most similar systems. Trustfall is designed to be able to delegate queries (or portions thereof) to underlying systems: for example, you could take a portion of a query and compile it directly to SQL instead of executing it via an interpreter -- no need to worry about query planning over a SQL database when the db itself can almost certainly do that better. In principle, Calcite should be possible to be plugged in like that as well.

Same goes for other systems that do federation over data sources, whatever they may be. Whenever there's an awesome database or federation solution out there that covers some data sets, plug it right in! No need to reinvent the wheel -- Trustfall development can then focus elsewhere, and everyone wins. The goal here is to have a universal data system that works great for any data source in any programming language, not a set of small-time turf wars over whether SQL or GraphQL or $NEW_TECH is better.
If I understand correctly, ChatGPT doesn't have its latent capabilities removed. Instead, they're suppressed by training using negative feedback. These special prompts are supposed to find the remaining stochastic spaces where ChatGPT can process the desired output that is not suppressed by training.

So, the danger seems to be that there is no currently documented way to completely remove these possible outputs, because that's just not how these systems work.

Prompt engineering in this specific usage could be thought of as injection, but from what I understand, there's currently no known sanitization process. In theory one could use the system itself to determine intent and sanitize input this way, but I believe there's a possibility for one to craft intent that is understood by the system, but the intent description itself isn't. This would be akin to bypassing sanitization.

ChatGPT seems to already do some form of this intent processing, either inherently or explicitly. But all prompt crafting at the moment is first based on this injection or jailbreaking to bypass intent sanitization.
TikTok is private, but is said to be losing money. Snap is in the same boat as Twitter as being largely unprofitable. It is unclear if Twitch is profitable either.

I agree with that. Since the Zoom acquisition, developments on Keybase started to fall down, no quality and major updates. Zoom acquired Keybase not for the Keybase as product but only to get the talents of the E2EE and Security Engineers behind Keybase to work with Zoom.

I'll mark this 'keybase.pub being shutdown' as the second downfall of Keybase. Yes, others will say that "its only keybase.pub" but it's the start. Keybase will slowly disappear.

Are there any open source alternatives with quality UX and documentation?
Tell HN: Prompt leaking is the most scifi thing ever
Someone recently got in the news for getting Bing's ChatGPT-based chat robot to recite its instructions.
I just want to get off my chest my thoughts that the fact that a $2 trillion company is programming a robot using plain English is the most scifi thing ever. It seems straight out of Asimov. If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have said it's completely unrealistic. That's not how computers work, I would have said. They follow rigorous logical mathematical operations and machine instructions based on boolean logic. You can't just tell it what you want it to do in English and then put it in front of the public, and if you could the public couldn't get it to do something different just by asking in plain English.
I'm sure the feeling will wear off, but as someone who uses it daily, I still sometimes get the feeling that AI is like science fiction.
TypeScript on the backend gives you that same PHP feeling though.

I’m not sure I understand your anecdote. I had actually never heard of “stone soup” by grandparent but I found it in Wikipedia as this story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup

My interpretation of grandparent as applied onto that story was that some of their colleagues had some local solutions that were part of the puzzle and OP purposefully created some ancillary solution (the “stone soup”) to get them to contribute to the bigger picture. But perhaps I’m seeing this entirely wrong?

Was this recently? I think that in modern browsers that has come to be locked down. I'm not fresh on the details, but the gist of it is that a given web page can publish a header which tells the browser what to do when users navigate away from that page. Whether to reveal that page as the origin or not.

I think HN can make it impossible for a site to know that a visitor "came from" HN.
I'm particularly excited for top byte ignore, as it can be used for some pretty creative things.

In Vale, we're planning on storing a small "offset-to-generation" integer in the top bits. This will let us easily find the top of the allocation that contains the object we're pointing to. When the user doesn't want to use the opt-in region borrow checker, this mechanism helps provide an easy fallback.

The technique could theoretically also be used for RC'd languages to allow taking references to the interior of objects, which (I believe) would help those languages close the gap between them and high-performance languages like Rust, Zig, Vale, etc.

I hope it catches on with more CPUs.

Another reason I'm excited for memory tagging is that it can somewhat reliably help identify memory unsafety in development/testing. Perhaps a low-level language (Zig? Odin?) could even make it work correctly in the presence of tagless unions, to enable a more efficient alternative to tagged unions (like in Rust) for certain situations.

Same for me, I wasn't "addicted" to Twitter, but I did spend an amount of time on it that I often regretted.

Elon managed to completely cure this in a few months. Between the constant bugs, the erratic changes, the slowness of the site, getting logged out randomly and being banned at one point for what I can only see as me tweeting a link to my mastodon account, I don't even have the site in muscle memory anymore.

Thanks Elon!
Congrats on the raise!
As long as the prompt and query are part of the same input, I don't think this can be fixed. The natural fix is to redesign the models to make the prompt and query two separate inputs. This would avoid the query from overriding the prompt.

Microsoft is an investor in OpenAI. I don't think they are subject to the same pricing scheme as the rest of us. You may be right about the computing costs though.
If you can build a spaceship that can effectively travel to another star system you have the exact technology needed to build a fucking telescope when you get there. The very ship you use for the trip likely has a very capable telescope as it would be needed to avoid interstellar debris en route.

The scale and scope of "building a telescope" and "building an interstellar spacecraft" are not just comparable but directly related. I'd also assume such a civilization would have a good handle on diseases, at least have a strong understanding of them.

It turns out that the civilization on Earth that landed on the Moon also had a pretty decent understanding of disease. By the time of the Moon landing many diseases that wracked the world in the 1500s were well under control in the first world. Some were even eliminated.
I know self-driving cars have had a rough several years, but there are still some good companies out there where ML would be highly valued and the problems are more grounded.

For a bike with a more reasonable solar area (with tilt functionality) for a significant contribution to motive power, check out https://ebikes.ca/suntrip.html
Classic. "100%" certainty but then the guy himself responds and says it's not the case.
It's sounds like this IS (mostly) a case of charging the bike "off the grid". If the trickle charging changes the usability of the bike from "charge it every 2-3 days" to "only charge it when there's multiple cloudy days in a row", that's a huge step up in convenience.
This may be surprising as an answer but….just stop

I swore off TV for about ten years. Didn’t really miss it. Had watched a bunch before. Wanted to focus on other stuff so I cut it out. Same with video games.

It doesn’t sound like listening to podcasts/YouTube while working is adding anything to your life. So….don’t? Go cold turkey on it.

Pick some music instead to replace it, I find classical or brain.fm are good companions

Literally 100% of the efforts I have made to “manage” information consumption have failed. In the presence of compulsion, cold turkey is the only thing I’ve found that works.

I can now watch TV as a social activity or play Nintendo occasionally. Relationship to both changed and they aren’t compulsions as they were. That can happen with time. With a lot of time.

But right now just stop. Ask yourself why you would even multitask in this way when multitasking is known not to work? The only times I listen to podcasts while doing another activity is when it is truly mindless, like cooking or cleaning.

And maybe find new work. The space you gain from not filling your brain with chatter could let you figure out a path here
You are conflating fixed point vs floating point and decimal vs binary, which are entirely different things. You can have decimal floating point numbers and binary fixed point.

You realize that decimal numbers also have the exact same types of rounding issues as binary numbers right? The only difference is that the former allows you to divide by both 2 and 5 cleanly, whereas the latter only lets you divide by powers of 2. If you want to divide by 3, 7, 11, or compute a square root or an exponent, using decimals is not going to save you from having to reason about rounding.
"College admission rates are important" is an arbitrary thing society developed, which people are increasingly realizing is largely counterproductive and unrelated to anything meaningful.

Getting into a highly selective school mostly just means the student fit one of a handful of profiles at age 18 which the admissions process looked for, most of which have little to do with the students actual abilities or aptitudes. But thanks to nepotism, network effects and the cultural belief in those schools representing "the elite", there is a significant self-fulfilling prophecy.

Overall, society would probably be better if we all admitted it's a farce, and focused more on what people accomplish in college and after, rather than giving such power to the admissions staff at a handful of universities.
I'm not sure this is true, since you could simulate it on other CPUs. I believe most modern OSs don't use the top byte, so you can store things in there (as long as you clear it before trying to dereference it).
I imagine with these types of things the vast majority of the work is writing integrations. Could you explain how this makes writing integrations easier?
