I work on the Desktop Access feature for Teleport: https://goteleport.com/docs/desktop-access/getting-started/

The tool itself is open core: https://github.com/gravitational/teleport

Most of the desktop access stuff is open source. (The only desktop related thing that's proprietary is our tool that allows for access to machines not connected to Active Directory). A sizeable chunk of the desktop access code is even Written In Rust™: https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/tree/master/lib/sr...!
This article is an absolutely fantastic introduction to GPT models - I think the clearest I've seen anywhere, at least for the first section that talks about generating text and sampling.

Then it got to the training section, which starts "We train a GPT like any other neural network, using gradient descent with respect to some loss function".

It's still good from that point on, but it's not as valuable as a beginner's introduction.
Confusing. The people saying "The Nordic Model isn't socialism!" are the people who are responding to "No, that's socialism!" Saying that the nordic model isn't socialism is a response to those who oppose it by saying it is, an attempt to persuade anti-socialists to chill out.
I've heard the part of the tweaks multiple times, and no one has ever explained why competitors can't just make the perfectly fine untweaked version.
I enjoy woodworking because it's something I can do with my hands that has a definite beginning and end, unlike most software which is often never really done. I find the completion of these whole projects very cathartic.
Wages lag growth, have a high growth environment for a few years and then cut off the faucet once people start demanding higher wages.

It may not be a conspiracy but that is what's happening.
Luckily most of FoCo doesn't need to rely on Comcast. They have their own muni ISP which is $60/mo and no taxes/fees. I've been using them for a few years without any issue.

This is great news. Honestly, I hope to see more nationalization of widely used services (or whatever the equivalent word for nationalization is at state or municipal levels.)

Municipal broadband, power, roads, schools, post, housing, and healthcare? It's long overdue, and with an appropriate amount of funding has been shown to be effective at controlling costs and delivering moderately good quality in most cases.

A lot of things get so warped by profit motive. And there are places I want a profit motive, but insulin (and healthcare generally) isn't one.
An iPhone with a LiDAR sensor (any of the Pro/Pro Max models IIRC) might be good enough for half of that equation.
The thing is that generalization is good enough to make people squee and not notice that the output is wrong but not good enough to get the right answer.

If it were going to produce ‘explainable’ correct answers for most of what it does that would be a matter of looking up the original sources to make sure they really say what it thinks they do. I mean, I can say, “there’s this paper that backs up my point” but I have to go look it up to get the exact citation at the very least.
To be fair, he's still his old self with his old human skills only. The only thing is he's faster and can compute better. His skills may not have included military tactics but it took him pretty far!
Does benchmark results really matter that much for phones? I don't see myself compiling code, playing graphics intensive video games, multitasking with many engineering software running simultaneously, on a phone.

Although Apple most definitely still leads on these factors, I think battery life, general latency/responsiveness of doing daily tasks, reliability, etc, are more important than some random coremark.
I don't give a shit what the "mainstream belief" is. I don't give a shit what the house minority leader said. I don't give a shit what you think the parent commenter said. Stick to what was actually said and the best possible interpretation of it. The parent commenter did not talk about any of that. They did not bring it up. You are entirely the one that brought this whole 50% topic in here when it wasn't being discussed, and then hyperfixated on it instead of what was actually being talked about.

> He claimed a bunch of racists and reprobates got unshackled on Twitter via Musk. He has provided zero evidence to back that up despite me challenging his claim and calling his behavior reprobative.

Great, focus on that instead of something that just plain wasn't said in this comment thread.

You also never "challenged his claim". You straight up said you don't believe him based on one sentence, and then immediately flew off on a tangent based on something that wasn't said. At no point did you stick to the topic being talked about. That is the antithesis of that HN guideline, plain and simple.

As I previously said, you're not ChatGPT. Don't hallucinate things into this thread that wasn't said and then fly off on a tangent based on those.
Same. No case either, dropped 100s of times. It has some aesthetic cracking on the back :)
It is certainly one of the best and most concise ELI5 explanations I've seen.
Pretty easy, just release new features as paid plugins that need subscriptions and make minimal updates to the core program.
The generational home depended on an enormous amount of unpaid labor. Elder abuse was common (much I believe, simply due to exhaustion from the sheer level of demands placed on the caregivers).

I hope for significant automation (robots) in future so he family members can spend there time on the good stuff: actually being with the parent.

When my mother in law died (at 60, cancer) she died in the same room she’d been born in. The German social services (e.g. Diakonie) provided enough support that her daughters had minimal bedpan-changing and maximal social interactions with their mum, at least until she was too far gone.

There is. I thing like that with the inhumane system in the USA.
That is precisely what they did. Good for them.

They don't need to write their own. There are lots of other playwrights out there. They've decided not to perform a play which has such limited opportunities for actors, and find one that does.

It would have been nice if the Beckett estate had instead decided to let other people interpret the work, but it's their right not to allow it. Their loss, both artistically and financially.
>`$5k per false data point should be enough. 10 addresses inside the service area = $50k. And 10% of that fine should go to the whistleblower.

Or make ISP's connectivity report binding. If the ISP claims that they provide connectivity and they do not, make them liable for the user's costs to get equivalent service from an alternative provider (e.g. Starlink), until the ISP can provide connectivity to the subscriber or the subscriber is out of the minimum contract period with the alternative provider, whichever is later.

An ongoing rather than one-off cost would give the ISP an incentive to build the necessary infrastructure that they have misreported already exists.
I made arguments in this thread. You ignoring them and insisting on shifting the topic is disingenuous line of arguing.

Spelling it out for you: some safety is better than none. That was the topic. And that people call "cult" whatever they don't like in a very vain attempt to discredit it.

Try and keep up.
I really need to try copilot, if it's truly aware of the overall context, it would be way more helpful than chatGPT, which seems truly good for isolated pure functions (clear input, clear output, DRY). At the end of the day, a good coder can write the function faster than they can describe it. Of course, ChatGPT does throw cool new syntax your way once in a while. For example, I didn't know .Chunk existed in .NET to cleanly break up ids and such into batches to process.
> Your shell example ... is a lot more compositional than your Python-style example

Yes, the Python equivalent would be:

lines("beef.txt").filter(lambda(x): x.contains("lasagna")).sort(type="natural").remove_duplicates()

Of course, all of those things would need to be generators. Python accepts that kind of code, but most "Python developers" wouldn't think on it. Haskell is a much more natural fit for replacing Bash. (By the way, Haskell has at least one Bash replacement library that I remember, but it's hard to find).
I'm in finally. This shit is nonsense. It's just the "for you" tab of really awful systems incorrectly guessing and pushing spam on your in a Google news like interface.

Goodbye artifact
We don't use teams feature almost at all because it forces threading. Before wer used mattermost but teams is 100% worse but with video chat...
The code is opensource, but not the ecosystem. Microsoft is maneuvering towards the same position as Android with respect to Google Play. Not technically mandatory, but so many conveniences are built on it that it may as well be for anyone not interested in investing a lot of time finding workarounds.
Linux phones are not automatically secure
Gmail is so much better than outlook it's honestly insane. The way it handles email chains is infinitely better than outlooks, which often leads to responses just getting lost when someone replies all to a message that wasn't the most recent.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this is 'our' fault, as I'm sure someone will point out. But in the years of using Gmail at my last employer, it just worked.
As someone with little actual knowledge of different insulin, I've been told that the cheaper one that Walmart sells is significantly harder to manager and you tend to end up going through lots of spikes & dips with it, which while enough to still live for some is pretty debilitating.

Hopefully California is planning on doing a different style of insulin that better manages that?
sabre/dav is amazing

I worked on a company that had multiple issues with mounted folders using smb across a wide variety of desktop clients (that was around 2012).

Customers would name their files with weird characters, would use OS X folder colors and expect them to stick, etc. We needed to support all of that.

One day we tested replacing smb with webdav mounts powered by a thin layer based off sabre/dav. It just worked out of the box. All of our issues were gone. It's client support is the best I've seen.

It also allowed us to create virtual files, setup caching and a lot of other goodies that seemed impossible with smb.
I like my slower android in which I can run my browser engine of choice, install any program I want in an easy way without time limitations and customize it in general as I want. Did I mention that it has a USB-C connector too?

Disclaimer: I have an old iphone, used iphone 11 for weeks then went back to Android and I daily drive a M1 Pro Macbook
Because by default it does not, and default matter (a lot!).

Also license and cost aspects.

Like ask 100 devs which have Linux and Docker, I would be surprised if more then 10 made sure that docker _can only run_ without root rights (and there are two ways to do so with different complexity and consequences).
Seems like they wanted to participate in the copycat layoffs but didn't have enough staff they could let go (sorry for the joke in bad taste).

But seriously now: this only goes to show how those layoffs are about companies fucking up, rather than about people. Laying off people who just got hired is amateur hour.
Man, that's already how a decent percent of recipes work. They come off cans and exist in part to sell products.
Is the $35 the amount the patient pays, or is it the total amount paid for the insulin?

It's still a despicable racket if the patient only pays $35, but the insurance company is paying $500.
It's one of dozens if not hundreds of memory-safe languages. The false marketing claim that Rust somehow invented it is absolutely infuriating.

Just a heads up that all your comments here are showing up as dead (i.e. people won't see them unless they have "showdead" enabled in their settings) which means you're probably shadowbanned.

I've vouched for all your comments so far to revive them, but you might want to email hn@ycombinator.com about this.

What does a 'minority of the votes' mean? In the 2019 general election, the conservatives got 13,966,000 votes and the next largest party got 10,269,000.

Someone handing you individual sheets of paper on demand?

I can’t think of a place less congenial to anything edible/drinkable than a bathroom. Yuck!
Match is a bad word, the don’t match, they are duals. The residual stream aka identity mapping needs to be the identity of the attention mechanism as the attention mechanism learns.

But this is the same for all residual streams, not just those in transformers.

Pedantic perhaps but maybe it's worth pointing out that Teams doesn't force you to use a thread. It just makes it the obvious choice since each top level message has a reply button directly on it so it's a single step process. Also when we're talking about Teams there's a big distinction between a Teams/Teams/Channel vs a Teams/Chat which is its own annoyance. They don't even support the same formatting capabilities (e.g. markdown) which is weird.
Neat, I'm looking forward to it.
Well, both are based on ARM designs anyway. I think some future Snapdragon will even get manufactured by TSMC.
Do you have more info about the company and job?
Folder, yes. Drive, unfortunately not[1]. One of those odd things which is theoretically for security, but practically annoying.

The UK arrests 3300 people annually for being mildly offensive on the internet. That's an arrest almost every 2 and a half hours. Two examples of people being formally charged include a man for saying "get off of my football team" and a teenage girl for posting the lyrics of her dead friend's favourite rap song in his memory. No other western nation is this bad.
They got angry when Trump was elected so they forked the Oval Office.
If you read carefully, Apple's "Ceramic Shield" glass actually only is on the front of the iPhone. The back is just the glass they used before. Which, I find inexplicable after multiple years of Ceramic Shield being available.
Indeed, never underestimate the power of defaults. There’s a tendency on HN to say “well, everyone should just use threads on Slack then.” There is, of course, a way Slack could make that happen: make it the default.

(For what it’s worth, I much prefer Slack for communicating, but when I have to find something, I wish I were looking for it in Teams.)
First things first: Get the fuck off the roads I pay for with taxes, stop drinking water I'm paying for, stop using ANY medical care because that gets government funding in the US, stop using electricity because there's often government involvement in that, stop using the internet, that was built with tax dollars, stop breathing the air that the government attempts to keep clean etc.
My suggestion would be to wait and see.

They know they have a huge user base, including enterprise users. They can do it right and modernize the UI without breaking your workflow. Maybe they will propose compact views and everything. They already have such options.

I've been using Thunderbird for 2005 and like it as is, but I wouldn't mind some fresh air. I'd also love being able to convince my younger relatives to adopt Thunderbird but that somewhat cannot happen in its current state.

Thunderbird is also not Firefox and I would expect them not handle UI/UX changes differently. Worst case, it will remain customizable. I'm not quite happy with the current Firefox UI, but luckily, someone built the Lepton theme [1] which is perfect for me. Thunderbird will still be based on Gecko for the UI, and I'm sure it'll remain at least as customizable as Firefox, even if it involves some hackery.

If Thunderbird works well for you, just wait. Maybe you'll like the changes after all?

As for the suggestions I could suggest KMail, it seems good, and would integrate perfectly with my KDE Plasma desktop environment, though I have been trapped in Thunderbird for more than a decade now.

Good.

That is all.

No kidding if I have to pay for it I am going to pay for something that is way better. I use it because it is free (me being a cheap fool) and better than eclipse.
The problem is that its very top heavy and is not well done, has lots of UI bugs and really is a pain to work with
The code display is utter shit, no proper markdown support and teams (what other chats call "channels" forcing threading for one.

Writing bots for it is also painful.
Disney's film division made a huge profit last year. One of their films made over a billion in around 10 days, has passed the $2 billion in just over a month, and is still on track to earn another hundred million before it leaves theaters. (Disney demands, and gets, 100% of opening weekend revenues, and a declining share each week thereafter; the exact breakdown varies from chain to chain. For small/independent chains, Disney retains at least 50% of box office revenues for the first 8 weeks.)

Their parks and live experiences made a huge profit last year: $29 billion in revenue, and approximately $8 billion in operating profits.

Their tech-heavy streaming division was the part that lost money: over $4 billion for the year, almost entirely offsetting the gross revenue made by the the film division from theatrical releases.

Yep, that's right: the only part of Disney that lost money was the tech-focused part.
Almost. The rate of inflation has been tamed. Inflation overall is high still comparatively
Single-unit buildings close to downtown can have higher land costs. But single-unit buildings in single-unit neighborhoods are, again, around 1/5 land cost.

This is great! I'm building a developer-first knowledge base with tasks [1] and getting such experience with tasks is quite difficult. Something we're cracking just now. Great job.
If someone needs something between zapier and trigger, check out windmill.dev. been using it for a few days. And I'm really impressed. I think Activepieces is targeting the same user as zapier. Trigger is targeting developers. Windmill seems to be able to give github sync and + you start of with writing code not in the GUI. And then you add a GUI on top of the script or connect scripts together into workflows. As a developer i found it amazing. But it's for people who can ( ow would like to) program.
I think they found some kind of magical middle ground.
(No affiliation, just a happy user.)

As a zapier alternativ this looks great. Congratulations with the launch and good luck. A lot of things is happening in this space now.
The LSP stuff has actually unlocked a lot of fringe editor choices. Even new editors with tiny communities can provide a lot of IDE like features by just implementing the client side of the API.
I love to see it but I think that from a visitor perspective Matrix was a bit confusing to use. Joining the whole "space" didn't seem to let you see all the rooms and took many tries. Also the link on the FOSDEM site to each room's chat was taking to the web client instead of opening up the Element app on my phone.

It was really nice for Q&A in the big sessions though!

There is no reason to have this. Imagine how many lives they could've improved if they just donated a chunk of the money that allowed them to have offices like this to charity
But what’s odd is Microsoft owns GitHub and already did a massive(ish) layoff. Why the separate ones?
Indeed, but the person sponsoring it in the commons is now responsible for a different department, (science and shit.)

I'm going to have to look at who said it was being dropped, and figure out the reasoning.
> Could rent it as co-working space on the rest of the days

Or just downsize the office to the point where utilization is high and rent out co-working space themselves during the "spikes".
Copilot also describes the function for you. It can code-complete a block of comments which describes the next many lines of code, and then also code-complete the lines of code for you.

It makes mistakes tho. For example, if you have two fields in a struct that could have been used and their names are very similar and they have the same type, then Copilot could use the wrong one. This is effectively a typo, except in code that was autogenerated, and it often takes a LONG TIME to debug a typo like this....

Ideally, you would be in a language with a more expressive type system (like Ocaml) so that those two fields have different types and such a typo cannot be valid.

> The real question is whether those huge dinosaurs—major record labels or movie studios or non-profits—start working in the same direction. If they start helping out in our project to build an audience and infrastructure for bold creative work, we have a golden age of artistry and culture ahead of us.

They absolutely will not unless they are literally backed into a corner and this is the only thing that will increase profits and shareholder return. These corporations release art but they do not care about art. Art is their product. You wouldn't expect your average supermarket to stock every regional variety of artisanal tomato sauce. They might stock one or two if the profit margins are good. Otherwise they want the store space for stock with better margins. For these companies, your attention is the store space. They only have a limited amount of it they can take a day so they want to maximise the profit they can extract from it. Profit per square foot of attention.

So yeah. Until the law is changed so that companies have other legal obligations other than maximising shareholder profit expect nothing to change. And expect the mindset to continue to cause similar damage in other industries to culture, communities and the environment.
Ahah thanks…but I spent lots of time in writing this article =)
just like every component of a fully un*x braindamaged OS, the shell only gives you speed where it increase the likelihood of errors (and security vulnerabilities, lots of them). every single thing you can do in the shell is a vuln by default until you write a verbose workaround. since nobody does that, in practice the shell is just insecure and fast(ish) user experience. pl design is a big field and some C/java/sh programmer's opinion doesn't nearly represent it. even python is better than sh in every way; merely showing that it doesn't have a bunch of useful functions in scope by default (duh, it wasn't geared for that use case) doesn't prove that sh is fundamentally a good language for a console (its not).
