I have recurrent skin issues: eczema, simplex chronicus, and in my early twenties, I was diagnosed with lichen planus, which is even worse in that is nonhereditary and autoimmune, and thus there's literally no none cause and there's also nothing I can do about it except treat it. This post is actually quite a coincidence because I am having a severe bought of the lichen planus right now. Basically my skin itches almost everywhere, and I have to fight the urge to scratch it lest it get worse. When I have boughts I'm just more irritable and less attentive because probably 25% of my mind is devoted to fighting my urge to scratch at all times. It's also ironic because if I stop everything and just sit still, I become more cognizant of the itchiness and become more miserable, so I have to keep somewhat active to just keep my mind off of it. Generally, I have to fight the urge to just stay put when I'm off work and not like work out or do chores because despite the malaise, being completely still or sleeping it off just makes things worse. Thus, being more irritable, I have to partake in my daily activities but with a rather grimacing face.

It doesn't help that for an unrelated condition I am now taking medicine that can cause hypersensitivity, and me and my wife have been wondering whether the current bought is an allergic reaction to the medicine or "my life" as usual.
Think of how adding water to hot sugar reduces the melting point of sugar. Sufficiently large amounts of water reduces the melting point to room temperature (also known as dissolving the sugar.)

I’ve personally found Elixir to be a nice balance compared to something like Haskell or even Rust in terms of FP. Most things, certainly testing are made simpler by immutability and the actor model makes parallelism much simpler to reason about. I’ve no doubt python is a great language for some things but once Elixir figure out the best way to add types I’ll be extremely happy that the language does everything I want. Especially with ChatGPT now you can ask it about topics in language learning that you don’t understand and it gives really great examples to help, so for me learning idiomatic ways of programming in Elixir or another language got a lot easier.
That's not even the title either --- it's just bigger text within the dialog. The actual dialog title in the titlebar is blank!

Between the aforementioned dark pattern with the buttons/not-buttons (they didn't even bother to vertically align "This app only" and the button), the not-a-question "do what we tell you" phrasing, the blank title, and a dialog that's overall around twice as tall as it needs to be, it seems recent Windows is unfortunately full of user-hostile and also disgustingly amateurish WTFs like this.

There is this joke that you don't need to outrun a python, you only need to outrun the humans it is chasing.

Elixir does not need to outshine Python it only needs to position better than other "functional style" languages on offer as the "go-to" language if one wants to add such a capability in their programming toolkit.

In practice this means outshining Clojure. And on this front Elixir definitely does a good job: E.g., there is no such thing as Phoenix in Clojure. People seem to advance some arguments along the lines: "you don't really need frameworks, just compose your own" but this is not cutting it for the masses :-)

In a universe where there are millions of different ways of doing things having a well thought, opinionated, proposal is actually an advantage. The limitations (if any) show much later in the cycle when the choice of programming language might even be the least of your worries.
TIL. Thank you very much for this interesting background information.
And yet there is price inflation. How is that any different?
Your question makes it sound like you believe it succeeds, but the answer you pasted is incorrect.

As for why it fails, it is likely a bias arising from the question being way more commonly asked in the corpus with equal mass than with distinct mass, increasing attention weights towards an answer expressing equality.

I believe current LLMs lack some common sense at an architectural level. They learn both specialized facts and general deduction in the same weights class: in my mind, they should separate their world model from their instance model.
It is hard to tell until you read enough literature!

That is the tricky part about following science as a layperson; a bad sample can give you a distorted view, leaving you thinking a fringe view not supported by the data is plausible or correct.

I have the same issue with "finish setting up your device". I don't understand how this can be legal. In the early 2000 MS got fined for bundling IE as default, but I seriously think they have even more evil patterns now baked into Windows and all it's entangling into 365 etc.
I am fairly rightist myself and the few Burschenschaften I got acquainted with feel right-wing to me. The last one I visited (which was in Vienna some 15 years) ago, I was told by multiple members during the drinking part of the evening that it is just a matter of time before the Austro-Hungarian empire gets reconstituted, because Slavs failed at ruling themselves.

Heh, Austria is somewhat richer (due to having escaped Communism), but as far as corruption in politics goes, a Balkan country.

No doubt they will be deeply critical of our permissive and egalitarian views.

I'm disappointed to see that teenagers these days are very much aligned with the Blackshirts, splitting off into increasingly fragmented groups that they define by their weirdass microdifferences.

I'll be dead by then, though, but I'll still be right.
It’d be done in lieu of interest rate rises that hit the pocketbook of people anyway. Most mortgages in Australia aren’t fixed rate.

Don't mix up poop and chocolate - while Google's accounts aren't really that great (the whole GSuite mish-mash of nonsense doesn't really help), they are several orders of magnitude better than whatever MS is trying to do here. You have a million different ways to permanently screw yourself with a MS account, especially since they basically kept all the "account types" hidden while applying over them a veneer of homogeneity. You can basically use any Google account everywhere a Google account is required, but personal and corporate MS accounts are basically two different things that reuse some infrastructure while not being compatible the slightest. Even when logging in in Windows, there are a dozen ways to enroll a MS account, and most if not all of them are not compatible with each other. There's always a very high chance of getting your Windows account messed up, not accessible, or impossible to log in to.

Indeed. The acceleration due to gravity actually increases slightly with depth, reaching a peak at the surface of the core. This is because they Earth's density is not uniform.
Maybe, but it's a behaviour that shouldn't be possible to happen. If I have a personal account it's my account, and should be considered distinct from the account of a school/organization, there shouldn't be the possibility that joining one of them will limit what my account could do.

That is a personal account shouldn't even be possibly converted into an AzureAD one: if you want it's another account, with another email and another password. This possibility of mistake should never happen.
I had an interesting situation a while back where my then corporate login appeared amongst my personal Microsoft accounts as possible options to log into upon installing Microsoft office iOS apps on a personal device - given that org’s corporate policies don’t allow logging in that way I could fathom how it was appearing (it might have been linked to once trying to use Authenticator for 2FA) but it was a bit odd seeing it as a prompt on downloading a fresh iOS Excel. It seems to have stopped now but was a bit odd!

Do you mean when using Google email? I don't see how being locked out of my personal email would lead to me being locked out of my Android, even if I would log into Google Play Services with an account (which I have not but let's go with the common lay person scenario).
well to be fair, _large scale_ storage is also far from being a solved problem. Renewables are already exceptionally good to create energy and even getting more efficient… but the „on-demand“ part is the difficult one.

Agreed. GNOME calling felipec "toxic" was deeply uncalled-for. I hope GNOME learns the difference between constructive criticism (like pointing out that their commits don't follow best practices and their interactions demonstrate insufficient care for users) and personal insults like "toxic."

I've got a number of Google accounts, two work ones (associated with different domains with distinct permissions and access to things, using drive, gdocs, Gmail and GCP with both) and a number of personal ones (some of which are associated with a Google workspace that I use for email under my personal domain) and it all works just fine for the most part. Groups and GCP console can sometimes get stuck on one account but Chrome with profiles can side step that one.

Doing the same thing with MS accounts has been an utter nightmare by comparison.
“Due to the complexity of the gut flora, probiotics are difficult to use clinically. This receptor can easily be targeted with medications, so we may have found a more reliable route to promote a healthy gut microbiome,”

Probiotics would likely be a safer thing to play with. Journaling and isolating specific things the first time you try it can allow an individual to track more complex processes than clinical trials can handle.

That's a graph of growth, so every year it's above zero there's "the most money in history"! That graph is actually a neat indication that the correlation isn't particularly strong for two variables with an established causal relationship, and that inflation (high by recent standards; normal for most of the 20th century) actually kicked in properly as the money supply started to fall, at the time we were subjected to a supply shock.

Australia's money supply curve represents a much smoother upward trend compared with the US, but their recent inflation spike mirrors that of the US

Germany's unification? A huge mess and the damage is ongoing. Kohl bought votes by setting Ostmark exchange rates to 1:1. This took on all debt of the GDR at full price but got him favour with veryone with money in the bank.

What is blooming there? Fascism.

My work laptop has a weird combination of a personal microsoft account that (I think) is linked to the windows licence, and a corporate account that is linked to O365, sharepoint, etc. Office works, as does OneDrive [1], but I've never been able to access SharePoint (probably not a bad thing). Azure just doesn't work for me, and even Microsoft support couldnt figure out why.

I'm usually pretty positive about Msft but their identity stuff is a mess.

Absolutely, he came in late stage and built upon the work done by the Polish mathematicians who reverse engineered and "cracked" the enigma encoding in addition to building the first generation bombes that mechanically automated decryption stages.

I'm in two minds about this. Yes, wpm aren't everything (see the other discussion in this thread) and the same goes for the full range of your editor's functionality.

On the other hand, tools like Vim, Kakoune and Helix shouldn't be treated like your average Java IDE, for example, which shifts the line of what I'd say is reasonable learning investment. What you're dealing with there is a programming language for text manipulation. If you're fluid enough in it, you open your mind for solutions you'd never have considered before. I'd say you'd need at least intermediate Vim skills and should know macros until that effect kicks in.

I have quite some anecdotes about e.g. creating integration tests where my colleagues wouldn't test something properly just because doing so would involve 10 minutes of drudge work in their simplistic editors, instead opting for "deploy & pray" when the task was totally doable in a couple of seconds with a Vim macro. I find that at least in this regard (as for all programming languages), Benjamin Lee Whorf's quote certainly holds true: "Language shapes the way we think and determines what we can think about."

That's why I also think GP had a point. I would probably be much more in your line of thought if we were only talking about the usual contestants like refactoring snippets etc. here, although even having them handy will already influence how many of us work with our code.

Edit: As another analogy, I feel that modal editing has about the same effect on thinking as switching from roman numerals to arabic ones. The reason why it hasn't completely caught on is just that it's less intuitive and text manipulation is not as fundamentally important as calculations for our civilization.
We demonstrate the potentially brutal consequences of connecting LLMs to applications (like search). We propose newly enabled attack vectors and techniques and discuss them:

- Remote control of chat LLMs

- Persistent compromise across sessions

- Spread injections to other LLMs

- Compromising LLMs with tiny multi-stage payloads

- Leaking/exfiltrating user data

- Automated Social Engineering

- Targeting code completion engines
AppifyText (https://appifytext.ai): I took GPT-3 and a no-code/low-code platform and I made them cooperate.

The system gets in input the description of a desired application in plain English and produces in output a ready to use Web application in less than a minute. The focus is on CRUDs, simple internal tools, personal databases & similar apps.
What I'm also seeing is a knee-jerk reaction to COTS/OSS software, and people using these scores to justify building software in-house. Can't be vulnerable if you're not in vulnerability scanners, right?

Which seems a bit weird, as they wouldn't have paid a cent before for security auditing OSS codebases.
> Closing all the loopholes would be abandoning those market segments (many of which are already trending towards Linux/etc anyway)

Sounds more likely to me that they'll just abandon those market segments.
I think Linux + Wine should be fine for most people (with a little guidance, of course).

ReactOS isn't stable enough even in a VM right now – but the progress is nice, and I hope it will be a viable alternative for embedded applications (like ATMs or factory automation stuff). Maybe consumer use one day, too?
"Do the right thing" was the motto of the perpetrator of every great evil in human history.

Okay sure, perhaps some serial killers knew they were doing the wrong thing but you don't commit genocide unless you've convinced yourself that you're doing the right thing.

To do evil on a grand scale you must have righteousness and conviction in abundance.

"Don't be evil" at least admits the possibility of asking "Wait. are we the baddies?" and answering it with something other than "Of course not, we Do the Right Thing".
I thought this was a Brexit thing. Evidently not.
Until they ban all of your alts when some obscure ToS sentence about creating multiple accounts starts being enforced (or one of them gets taken over when you don't pay close enough attention) and if you happen to use any of them for anything critical you come to HN complaining how MS just killed your life or business. I truly think that's what happens behind the scenes of half of those cry for help posts
> I can see AWS Graviton3 taking over 80% of all new EC2 instances. Graviton2 already took over 50% of all new EC2 instances in the year 2020.

Speaking of this. Friendly reminder that AWS currently has a free trial[0] of 750 hours/month free for t4g.small EC2 instances, until the end of the year.

You'd still need to pay for storage, but it's a good deal if you want to use it as DNS or WireGuard server for the remaining of 2023, since 1GB storage is enough for Alpine Linux.

Even in an ideal world where there's no fundamental difference in the cost of producing 1000 units or 5000, companies aren't going to be able to sell 5000 at the same price as they could 1000 when doing so exceeds their current capacity. Expanding that capacity means more staff and equipment, which costs money that has to be paid for somehow. It also takes time, which means that it cannot act as an immediate solution to the cost problem and also that there's substantial risk involved - by the time the extra capacity is there, the demand may not be. In order to justify taking on this risk there needs to be the expectation of substantially higher profits.

Also, commercial airlines in particular are an industry with a history of over-optimistic expansion followed by cut-throat competition on pricing and then bankrupcy, and I'm pretty sure everyone in the industry knows this by now which is why there's not a huge rush to expand massively.

For anyone interested in a sailing adventure on a real tall ship in real "real global weather", I can heartily recommend booking a journey on the Oosterschelde (https://www.dutchtallship.com/oosterschelde/).
