> In the fourth quarter of last year, US app installations for Temu exceeded those for Amazon (AMZN), Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT), according to Abe Yousef, a senior insights analyst at the analytics firm Sensor Tower.

Title should read "New online superstore surpasses Amazon and Walmart to become most downloaded app in the past quarter". This is just more drop shipping garbage.
For the likes of journal articles as mentioned in the article they should indeed use full links, but also download the entire website to include in the supplementary information. Data changes. There's no guarantee even an archive site will retain the original source over a long enough period of time. But the supplementary data will generally survive as long as the web version of the journal article.

Well okay, that's true, but they would lose their jobs and not have billions of dollars to fall back on. So there is a strong personal element for them. In the classic pigs/chickens formulation, Elon is closer to the chicken side — he's got other companies to devote time to.

I'm an American but I lived in Europe for a while, and it hurts me every day that we don't have public transit.

When I was in Europe, my daily routine was get up, grab a donut from the corner shop connected to my flat, walk one block to the subway. If I was lucky, there would be a tram waiting at the other subway station and I could just jump on, or walk the 8 blocks to the office. When I stayed at the office late, the subway was closed but I could always take the night tram the long, long way around.

It sounds complicated, but it really isn't. You buy a ticket, then you can simply walk onto any form of public transit. Subway, tram, busses, even a ferry over the river. And it cost the equivalent of $1.50 to go all the way across one of the largest cities in Europe. It's easy and pleasant, and leaves you free to read a book or work on your laptop if you really want.

Meanwhile in the US, I have to maintain this car, I have to pay something like $30/week in gas and parking. I have to deal with our inadequately maintained roads that damage my car. I also have to deal daily with the incredibly high-stress situation of not letting other drivers fucking kill me. I have at minimum two close calls a week.

I could take the bus here, but it turns a 20 minute commute into 2 hours.

I'd take a subway and a sidewalk 100% of the time. Zero question, no hesitation. It's simply superior in all ways.

Another story on HN is "what happened to Ruby" and that really crystallized what I don't like about python. I'm not a ruby programmer, but I have to admit how much fantastic software came out of Ruby.

Ruby was always fighting Java for some reason, it should have been fighting Python. If only Ruby had won THAT war.
It's more like class than caste, because it's possible to move between classes after birth. Modern advertisers are sort of similar to a priestly/censor class, in the same way that serial C-suite/board members are sort of like an aristocratic class.

Discussing that sort of thing is discouraged in the US, because it stinks of nepotism and conflicts with our culture's ostensible ideals of meritocracy and egalitarianism.

It's an easy mistake to make, because in order to obscure our society's important class distinctions, we make a lot of noise about other differences that people are born with, which feels very caste-y.

This sounds like an idea for an archive.org or an archive.is browser, or plugin.

It could be compromised, maybe, by encrypting a particular date at the end of the URL. In order to point to an earlier link that the user thinks is the current link.
Training on its own data is a tradition already. For example RLHF example pairs rated by humans are generated by the model. So even our best models trained on their own outputs + rating from human labellers. The internet is a huge rating machine, AI will distill this signal and improve even while ingesting its own text.
The oblivious mental model was something like `WebRTC.send("12.34.56.78", "hello world!"); WebRTC.addEventListener("text", function(e){if(e.ip==="12.34.56.78"){ /* do something */ }})` not that I expected it to be that easy (it isn't php) but it turned out to be (ehm) slightly more complicated than that.

Thanks for writing the book.
"Hard" is relative, sure. But regular Arch Linux installation is harder than this in a sense, and the author is Arch Linux user on multiple devices already, so not a beginner.

If I go through the article and list arm64 SBC specific pieces, it's just copying the booltloader from the manjaro image for rockpro64 and maybe different names of files in /dev for some block devices.

Even configuring U-Boot is done the same way you do it on regular Arch, if you use extlinux on x86_64, which many do/did.
This is awful.

But it’s also why many “old media” producers and companies in the entertainment and music industry have careful policies around refusing to receive or acknowledge ideas and content from outside the organization.

It’s much harder for some fan-writer to pursue spurious legal credit for some plot idea or script content when you maintain an official policy to bin unsolicited submissions and to never acknowledge work shared in public.

That’s tricky for “new media” companies since consumers now expect direct engagement with publishers, especially for “indie” artists, but the old system was designed to guard against stuff like this.
Nice article. Saw a few things I wish I'd known about.

1. %n in printf would be handy when writing CLIs dealing w/ multiple lines or precise counts of backspaces.

2. Using enums as a form of static_assert() is a great idea (triggering a div by zero compiler error).
You're trying to argue sense with someone who thinks they can sue someone for greylisting, and is screeching about insecurities in GUI browsers and being "forced" to use an Apple or Google browser:

Amazing that I've been on the internet for several decades and never once had my shit jacked (due to a modern GUI browser or otherwise.) The way people like grandparent commenter make it sound, the split second you use a modern browser, you'll be pwned...

Are we still on the satellite communications subject?
Such multi-site, same frequency broadcasting setups are usually called Simulcast, and are still used for some public safety trunked radio systems in the U.S. The biggest issue with simulcasting is the need for extremely precise clock synchronization and the audio carrier generation, to the point where something like using a slightly different soundcard can result in massively distorted received audio due to the effects of FM doubling. Clock synchronization is usually achieved via GPS, there's a good number of off-the-shelf solutions available. But when it comes to the audio path, it's typical to use the exact same hardware across all sites because otherwise controlling for even the smallest of differences when attempting to troubleshoot becomes an huge hassle. At the beginning of this blog post[1] is a brief overview of some things to take into consideration when building a simulcast system.

The next sentence of that quote is pretty illustrative.

> Pathmatics said the previously unreported figures on Twitter advertising are estimates. The firm bases its estimates on technologies that track ads on desktop browsers and the Twitter app as well as those that mimic user experience.

> But the company said those estimates do not account for deals advertisers may receive from Twitter, or promoted trends and accounts. “It is possible the spending data could be higher for some brands” if Twitter is offering incentives, Pathmatics said in an email.

It's all speculation across the board - people want musk to finally fail, and that possibility produces some delicious schadenfreude. I am in this industry, and don't trust for a second the estimates "Pathmatics" cites. Everytime I've seen these types estimates on properties where I know the real numbers, they are off significantly, in both directions.

The numbers come from comps, and some sampling of Desktop ad impressions and a twitter client. That's so far away from what the real numbers are that it's just a fuzzy guess.

In an ideal world that could be nice. In practice the allure of ignoring support problems under the guise of "the automation says there's nothing we can do" is far too high, and eventually pervades all manner of tech company user accounts unless legislatively punished.

No matter how amazingly technologically savvy you are, if your smart TV is more than just three years old, it's already running a deprecated browser that in all likelihood never be updated. And nearly all apps on modern smart TVs run in the browser, so yes, companies will have to support that (if their apps run on those TVs. Think Netflix, Spotify, even probably Apple's integration with Samsung).

As for governments, you assume that it's only "people on benefits" that use outdated or deprecated technology. And you assume that governments will run through acquiring and updating millions of iPads once every few years. Because iPads and browsers on those iPads also get deprecated (a 7 year old iPad Pro while fully functional is no longer supported).

Absolutely right, that is a possible outcome.

That's interesting. HN has a software bent on startups and such. As if programming is one of The Known Ways to create something. Fundamentally, our instructions are executed by a machine to some effect, one of which could be profit.

I wonder if artists are having their "software moment": a decade from now (or sooner) they will say, "Adobe Photoshop is the assembly language of digital art; use these AI frameworks/prompts/GPU cloud mix to do X and Y."

From that perspective, it's just pragmatic. No one writes assembly unless it's either for passion or practical.

Exactly. The more analogous offense is claiming to interpret scripture without the help of a priest. Plebs repeating what the clergy says is fine. Plebs coming up with their own ideas, even when they effectively agree with the clergy, is still a threat.

Nothing to do but patiently wait for the social/technical changes that will make these not-even-wrong would-be priests (of both blue and red flavors) irrelevant again.

We took '40 seconds test' after testing it with few people of different ages. Initially thought of doing 60 seconds, but it was hard for older people and for those with a sedentary lifestyle. So chose 40 seconds, which shows a good lung capacity than most people. Still it's hard for some people to meet that time, as you can see from some of the comments here.

Pretty much.

I have seen so many startups over the past few years, with A rounds up to $25 even $50 million where the CEO has zero business experience, they are literally learning by the seat of their pants.. They have gone from some experience as a tech lead for a small team, to the next day to running a large company. Obviously, there will be the odd outlier Zuckerberg type, but many of them are going to be totally out of their depth when the burn rate and path to profit (or even revenue in some cases) start to close in.

2024 will be a bloodbath in the startup world.
GPT3 is far more accurate than GPT2. Seems reasonable that larger models trained on more data will continue to improve accuracy. I'd also expect larger models to be better at summarizing text, ie potentially fixing the Bing issues where it hallucinates numbers.

Our models sizes are a product of our scaling and hardware limitations. There's no reason to believe we are anywhere near optimal.
Yes, we are. Why?
Now we just need this for mdr, en français

Detecting text generated by large language models like ChatGPT is a challenging task. One of the main difficulties is that the generated text can be highly variable and can cover a wide range of topics and styles. These models have learned to mimic human writing patterns and can produce text that is grammatically correct, semantically coherent, and even persuasive, making it difficult for humans to distinguish between the text generated by machines and the ones written by humans.

Another challenge is that large language models are highly complex and constantly evolving. GPT-3, for example, was trained on a massive dataset of text and can generate text in over 40 languages. With this level of complexity, it can be challenging to develop detection systems that can keep up with the ever-changing text generated by these models.

To implement a reliable detection system like GPTZero, which is designed to detect text generated by GPT-3, several challenges need to be addressed. First, the system needs to be highly accurate and efficient in identifying text generated by GPT-3. This requires a deep understanding of the underlying language model and the ability to analyze the text at a granular level.

Second, the system needs to be scalable to handle the vast amounts of data generated by GPT-3. The detection system should be able to analyze a large volume of text in real-time to identify any instances of generated text.

Finally, the system needs to be adaptable to the evolving nature of large language models. As these models continue to improve and evolve, the detection system needs to keep up and adapt to the changing landscape.
Other solution is to simply not expose ports directly with rocket compose and instead use something like Traefik to proxy them.

Fun fact about %n:

Mazda cars used to have a bug where they used printf(str) instead of printf("%s", str) and their media system would crash if you tried to play the "99% Invisible" podcast in them.

UFW works fine with iptables. The issue occurs because docker adds an iptables chain that takes precedence over the UFW rules.
> Something like SELinux, RSBAC, Even AppArmor

The problem with AppArmor and friends is that they are hell on earth to configure and manage.

And I'm saying that as a security conscious sysadmin !

I don't mind spending little time to lock-down my systems a bit, but writing new AppArmor rules is about as attractive as bashing my head against the proverbial brick wall.

Of course I leave AppArmor enabled to some degree, and I'm happy if a package comes with AppArmor rules ... but I ain't gonna be sacrificing days of my life writing, tweaking, troubleshooting my own rules.

That's why I feel OpenBSD's answer is likely a good compromise. It adds a demonstrable level of security, and it doesn't stress out the sysadmin.
I appreciate the concern for new developers, but I really don't think it's a good solution to have every project readme describe pip, poetry, pipenv, and whatever other new hotness there is in the package management world. There's a reason that all the readmes describe pip installation: it's the lowest common denominator, present with every standard python install, and along with virtualenv (also standard) it can do most of the requirements for package management.

I think to help new developers, we could encourage documentation to briefly point to the official PyPA documents on the variety of options available. It would be better to focus on making that more accessible, rather trying to throw the burden onto package maintainers to describe using their package with every new tool.
