I guess my main issue with it all is that I feel like the conclusion that it's a trainwreck is sort of foregone in my mind. It's bad. The potential for great good is intense, but these models aren't MVP yet. They're just not.

I do find it concerning that they would output abusive responses when queried. That's not acceptable.

It's also not new. We've known they misbehave in any number of other socially-unacceptable ways, and I just don't consider "well now it's saying $adjective things" % {manipulative, untrue, racist, ...} to be an exciting permutation.

I could just be a jaded bastard, though. Normally I'd be excited to see Microsoft fail, but at this point it just makes me disappointed.
Yup. Which satisfies the EU law and behaves the same to lightning cables.

I don't see anything in the EU law that says every single device has to interoperate with every accessory.

I would argue that panicking very much makes it somebody else's immediate problem.

By this logic, it kind of seems like no function should ever return errors at all -- handle the situation or panic, right?

Sure, kicking the ball up the chain out of laziness is, well, laziness. But plenty of times, it's done out of the knowledge (or at least hope) that somebody up the chain has a better idea of how to handle the situation than you do.

> It is worth noting that the USB-C interface currently used by Apple in the 10th-generation iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro, do not contain an IC chip for authentication, meaning that this would be a first for ports of this kind offered by the company.

These are rumors, easy bait for clicks. I'll happily eat my words when this comes to fruition, but at this point is there any evidence Apple is actually interested in doing this?

> IMO "reviewing a pull request" is a far cry from "working with". You really expected Bromite to immediately close the PR, even if it contained valuable contributions, just because GrapheneOS claims (without evidence) that this person is associated with a group of harassers?

They are doing much more than that, and we have ample evidence that these folks have engaged in libel and harassment. They also abused GitHub moderation tools to mislead people which is par for the course. It's you making claims without evidence... and it's very typical to be accusing us of what you folks are doing.

Here's one of many examples of one of the people associated with Calyx doing exactly that in response to a purely technical post:

https://twitter.com/DanielMicay/status/1547286521597894657

There are many more examples including the leader of the organization doing this same routine of making up stories about me and claiming that I'm insane to direct bullying/harassment towards me. They've engaged in relentless libel and harassment for multiple years.

> Baseless accusation. I'm not affiliated with any of these projects, but I do want the opportunity to contribute to them in the future, which is why I didn't post this using my main account. Also, it's not productive to view any form of criticism as "harassment and libel".

You've done the opposite of contributing to any open source projects. You made at least one sockpuppet account to stir up shit on at least one platform to try to harm GrapheneOS. I wouldn't be surprised if other recent sockpuppet accounts belong to you too. You're demonstrating exactly why those projects and people involved in them are problematic.

> and I don't want that.

If you want to participate in the GrapheneOS project or community in good faith, you'll try to repair the harm you've caused. If you leave things like this, you aren't welcome.
I would assume you can just DDoS either the central cerver or the entire charging location, not individual charging stalls. And in the latter case, who knows which out of many cars present near the charging location did it.

Keep in mind that a lot of supercharger stations are contained within much larger parking lots/garages. More specifically, they are simply just random stretches of parking spots in a garage, but with supercharger stalls installed.

As a real example, 3 closest supercharging stations to where I live are: a large office building multilevel garage, Trader Joe's multilevel garage, and a giant multilevel garage at a mall. Each one can fit bajillion cars (maybe not the trader joe's one, as it only has 2 or 3 floors, with about 25 parking spots on each).

Sure - but I think that's the least important part of my comment. The preview is basically just an intro to Scheme. I would rather be able to see how well the book covers interesting ideas about deep learning. While the jury is still out, my personal skepticism is that this is a really beautiful passion project that looks great on bookshelves, but that any serious learner would be better served dedicating their time to working through the existing, more traditional, and very high-quality resources available online.

I was born in India and that Indo-Persian (Parsi) culture is what helped raise me.

My understanding is Iranian Zoroastrians and Indian Zoroastrians have very different traditions. Many in common but many that are an inherited from their 1000 years apart.

Specifically, Zoroastrians (both Indian and Iranian) have a few annual traditions (https://theguibordcenter.org/zoroastrian-holy-days-and-obser...), and like 4 life-milestone traditions (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navjote, Wedding, Death, etc). I believe all of these are very similar.

There are many differences tho, mostly based on "sibling-culture". For example, my cousin recently had a wedding (to another Indian Zoroastrian) and there were a lot of Indian traditions included (Iranians would not do these). Indian Zoroastrians celebrate a lot of Indian Hindu traditions (e.g. Holy, Diwali, etc) and similarly I'm sure (I don't know for fact) Iranian Zoroastrians celebrate a lot of Iranian Muslim traditions (e.g. Eid).

Even the choice of clothing is more inspired by their surroundings than their religion. However, the do share a common tradition of wearing particular undergarments (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedreh, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushti).

Food again has a similar story. Mostly from their surroundings, but some commonality. e.g. Parsi's use a lot of spices in their cooking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsi_cuisine). But the dessets are typically more middle-eastern ("Common desserts include sev (vermicelli), ravo (sweet semolina pudding) and malido (a nutty fudge). Also popular are faluda and kulfi, both of which are adoptions from the cuisines of the Irani and Persian-speaking communities.")

You'd find it quite difficult to find http://www.nilouferskitchen.com/2014/12/parsi-sev.html or anything similar in any Indian dessert shop, but as per my understanding shares a lot in common with "Halawat Sha'riyya" or "Sh'ariyeh be-sukkar".

There is a Parsi breakfast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akuri that shares a lot in common with Menemen (Turkey) or scrambled Shakshuka. Akuri differs because it is also Indian and meant to be heavily spiced, and many times meant to be spicy. If any of you ever are in London try out https://www.dishoom.com/food-drink/ their Akuri is NOT on point lol - its adapted for a British pallet -, but if you add a bunch of Salt and Chillies (they provide them on request) then it becomes very representative. The Keema Per Eedu is on point tho! and mixing some of that spicy sauce into their "Akuri" will also work to make representative Akuri.
If you don't think its just statistically choosing the next word, what do you think its doing? Do you think it understands the mathematical concepts you're questioning it about?
I’m guessing ‘SoC and IoT’ includes things like the CPUs in NAS appliances. I have noticed recently a huge proliferation of AMD Ryzen CPUs in these devices when a couple of years ago it was Celerons/Pentiums.
The load case is not 1:1 and the experience is only anecdotal, but I put a few more details about the load in another comment below.

My commentary is only really about what we believed about AMD before making our purchase (internet forums like this one warn about energy use), how that wasn't really the case when we measured it on a real load, and why we 'feel' we would prefer to go the smaller and cheaper AMD server route next time.
Lets wait and see. Most of the Apple rumors have about a 50% hit rate. Sometimes things are worse, sometimes better. I know that's not very exciting but there's just no point in reacting to something which isn't on the market yet.

There was the same complaints thing when the iPad Pro moved over to USB-C and that turned out to be a full TB3 implementation after a couple of generations.
Perhaps those who were instrumental in how elections were influenced were afraid that by changing the system, they'd lock themselves out of the existing election-meddling process?

> The initial preview is a little disappointing because it feels like it does a great job displaying the pedagogical style but not enough to demonstrate the pedagogical value (i.e. whether this resource actually does a good job teaching a complex topic).

I would kind of assume you'd run into issues with something like PHP.
And sometimes fined, but also sometimes having their convictions overturned - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_the_Unit...

Not “literally” the same as assault charges though - “public order” laws have a long sordid history of their own.
Considering that charging is the most dangerous thing a cable can do, Apple's motives for this sort of restrictions can be boiled down to the usual monopolistic approach.
Clojure w/ Spring Boot? No.

It would do fine as part of a microservices architecture where some of the other services are Java/Spring. I've done exactly that in fact - wrote a few Clojure services to rip through and ingest some data as part of a system where we had Java/Spring and Python services mixed in.

If you're looking for a Java alternative in a "Spring Boot" shop, Kotlin has excellent Spring support and is definitely more pleasant to use than Java.

Yes, it has shown that we might progress towards AGI without ever having anything that is sentient. It could be nearly imperceptible difference externally.

Nonetheless, it brings forward a couple of other issues. We might never know if we have achieved sentience or just the resemblance of sentience. Furthermore, many of the concerns of AGI might still become an issue even if the machine does not technically "think".

Hi there this is Bryan, CTO at you.com This post is not true: the you.com extension does not inject tracking beacons across the web or locally.

I went back and looked at the open source code, and I can see how someone might misunderstand what is happening so I will clarify here with pointers to the open source code as well. The Firefox extension should be unminified too, so anyone who has it installed can check that the code I'm referring to is represented in that open source repository I will link to below.

Let's walk through the extension code, starting with the relevant part of the manifest.json:

"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["://localhost/", "://you.com/", "://.you.com/"],
"js": ["content-script.js"]
}

This says that on domains that match ["://localhost/", "://you.com/", "://.you.com/"], we run content-script.js.

source: https://github.com/You-OpenSource/You-Firefox-Extension/blob...

In content-script.js we have:

```
let beacon = document.createElement("div");
beacon.className = "you-firefox-addons-beacon"
document.body.appendChild(beacon);
```
https://github.com/You-OpenSource/You-Firefox-Extension/blob...

So if you are on localhost or a you.com owned domain (certainly not "across the web"), we add a div to the page that does nothing by itself. We do this so that our client side code can detect whether you have the extension when you are on you.com and other you.com subdomains. We had the localhost in there for convenience while developing and should have removed it before publishing, but to be clear, even with that localhost match in the code, there is still no tracking, not across the web and not locally. We'll take the localhost match out out though to avoid any confusion.

We unfortunately named that div "you-firefox-addons-beacon", which I think misled the original poster to think we were doing something with the Beacon API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Beacon_API). But we are not. It is just an empty div that our client side code checks for when it loads the page for you.com domains and subdomains so you don't see the "Install extension" buttons and things like that once you have the extension. We will change the name so that it does not create this misperception moving forward.

And to address the downstream concerns in the other comments, we don't track users around the web. We don't use tracking to provide personalized search results -- we use the App Preferences feature that is available after someone signs up.

I'm glad that it is newsworthy that our search engine and browser plug-ins don't spy on our users! Please check the source code if you'd like: https://github.com/You-OpenSource/You-Firefox-Extension and spread the good word!
"There is someone out there in abject poverty that is more content than anyone with a warm place and a full stomach"

This is a statement without meaning, e.g. so what?

I would wager that it's easier to "come to peace with the universe" if your basic needs are met: warmth, shelter, friends, food, etc. (it has nothing to do with materialism or wealth).
It's funny because if 2 months ago you'd been given the brief for a comedy bit "ChatGPT, but make it Microsoft" you'd have been very satisfied with something like this.

Intel stumbled badly on their new semiconductor fab development. Their next generation fabrication plants have been delayed for years and they are losing badly to TSMC, which makes AMD's chips. It would be interesting for someone to tell the story of why they failed where before they had cranked out new fabs process technology like clockwork.
Helium is very hard to store since it's a noble gas and so monatomic; I think it's smaller even than H2. So storing it (and H2 for that matter) is hard.

Strangely, their material is able to do that while also passing water, H20, which is a much larger molecule. They suggest in the summary that there's more going on than just the size of the porosity. Haven' read more.

Maybe someone else will know how useful this is for He or H2 in solution.. I'd imagine they'd vaporize out.

Might also be useful for drying H2 after electrolysis

There has gotta be a Gavin Belson yelling punching a wall scene going on somewhere inside MS right now.
Interesting. It's almost the exact same structure (although better organized) that I have built in my "AI Programmer" project (also in Node). Which by the way I hope to have a new release within a week or so. I am not mentioning the domain name again until I have the new release because it much, much better than the version I have up now.

The core idea is that you need a certain structure in order to deal with the limitations of GPT-3.5 or whatever. To get the best output, you give it a brief overview of what you want, a few examples, and the history of interaction. OpenAI's API does not remember the interaction history for you. And the limit is 4000 or 8000 tokens so you will need to truncate the beginning of the conversation at some point.

So this library provides a structure since it's something you will need to repeat for just about every significant text completion application or module.

Thank you for your explanation and for not regarding my questioning as an attack against you. I now understand your position better and for what it's worth, I find it consistent in itself, and that's, at least to me, the major hurdle any position on these things has to take and very few do.

I'm not worried too much about celebrities facing cancellation. But with normalization of the approach, it becomes a generic tool against individuals, celebrity or not. It's certainly not swatting, but well-placed campaigns against someone can quickly find them in hot waters with their employer, landlord, neighborhood or even friends and family, who might want to cut ties to not be targeted themselves, even if they don't believe that the allegations are true or that they're offensive. It looks too much like a mob to me, and mobs rarely care about truth, justice or appropriateness, they care about annihilation (and the thrill of the act, and the bonding experience).
Why do you believe that PHP would cause issues that Nodejs would not?
Recipe for Xalax by ChatGPT

Xalax is a fruit that the Martians used to make a sweet and tangy dessert. The dessert was a type of custard that had a smooth and creamy texture, and a flavor that was both refreshing and indulgent. Here is the recipe for the xalax dessert, as described in the story:

Ingredients:

4 cups xalax juice
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp Martian seaweed gelling agent
1 cup heavy cream
Instructions:

In a large pot, heat the xalax juice over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely.
Gradually sprinkle in the Martian seaweed gelling agent while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard into a large bowl or individual serving dishes and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
The xalax dessert had a smooth and creamy texture, with a slight jiggle that was characteristic of custards. The flavor was sweet and tangy, with a pronounced fruity taste that was similar to a combination of apples and oranges. The texture of the xalax fruit itself was described as juicy and tender, with a thin skin that was easy to peel. The sweetness of the fruit was balanced by a slight tartness that added a refreshing quality to the dessert. The Martian seaweed gelling agent added a subtle oceanic flavor to the custard, which complemented the fruitiness of the xalax juice. Overall, the xalax dessert was a delightful and unique dish that the Famous Five enjoyed immensely.
Maybe very small, quick writes, or a workload where modest blocking isn't a problem. Curious what the IOPs look like.
That's really sad news
> why not just skip the first step and go straight to raising the standards for everyone else?

I was responding to this part of that comment, meaning I agree it would be better to have the same high standards for everyone. But that's ideally, the question is how do we get there?

If we can get there without lowering standards for the rich I'm all for it. I'm not advocating for the correct solution to this because I don't know what it is. I was only responding to what you said:

> No, but advocating for the system to deliberately abuse other people to make a point isn't doing anything to correct the injustice; rather, it's (marginally) worsening it.

By pointing out that I disagree, I think it would actually make the system better overall when you consider compounding effects.
> because we're too bored, and looking for fun stories.

It's an interesting story. Your comment reminds me of one time when PG (when he used to comment) parent-ally said 'now you should all get back to work'.

> The bail situation with SBF is the least interesting thing about the case.

Thank you informing what you think others should find interesting. Sounds like a movie critic deciding whether a certain movie should be entertaining or not (based on what they personally admire or find interesting). Flash purpose of a movie (and a news story) is to sell tickets and advertising ... generally by holding people's interest.

> By all means, dunk on the people making insurance payments to cover his bail! It's a weird thing to decide to do!

Thanks for your approval of what others find interesting. Of all places on HN where you have more points (redeemable for NOTHING) than anyone. Weird?
