This article gave me no useful advice. I got a garden and would love to know what I should put there living in the north of Italy.

The article didn't mention, except using dome of the space to store compost. No advise on what to plant. Just feel-good advise by morons for morons.

It's like it was written by "Marjory the Trash Heap" from fraggle rock herself.

It's Schrodinger's legality. We just refuse to open the box and settle it.

This does seem like a terminal vulnerability in the U.S. system. Just make all your unconstitutional activities secret, which makes the only check on them the voting booth, presuming you haven't done anything secret and unconstitutional to reduce the power of voting from almost nothing to nothing.

Seems rather similar to parallel construction. Use any method, illegal or not, to crack the case, and then lie in court and say that you figured it out some legal way. Just the government lying to itself for a "good cause".
Should be impossible, the model won't have write access to its weights when it isn't being trained. If you hacked the machine it was running on and gained FS write permission, sure, but you're not getting GPT to update its own weights, no mayter how good you are at prompt-engineering.
I think is a mix, there are probably a lot of areas where it does provide value and it's getting to a point where training or tuning existing models is low hanging fruit for those areas. There is for sure another whole section of this that is "second life" like for marketing teams -- where they want to market something in the AI space to try to ride the wave. I fear a lot of the executions coming right now are "just do something with AI".

Was MS Tay driven by a LLM? People killed her in like a weekend. It seems like Sydney is headed for the same end
Either electric bikes will pick up the slack or some manufactures will offer sizable rebates. Either way, there will be new options coming online for less than $20k at some point. It's probably residual effects from the supply issues of the pandemic.

If car makers have limited chips etc, they'll probably only use them in their high end cars.
There's a lot of value to be unlocked over this decade and not very many people know where that value is at (so most will flail around trying to find something useful). There will be a massive amount of throwing things against the wall to see what sticks.
That's an issue with Transient, a dependency of Magit and also authored by me. It's complicated, but essentially the problem is that post-command-hook is not guaranteed to be run after the command. And the second problem is that I tried working around that for too long (and instead resorted to increasingly sophisticated and desperate heuristics), instead of getting it changed in Emacs. I've done that now, so maybe in Emacs 30.

But I have also switched to handling part of it using an around advice, which does work reliably. I've done that about two weeks ago, so changes are that if you update Transient now, you won't ever see that again.
Perhaps the word bairns for children could have been used instead of the word offspring. The word is pretty similar to the Scandinavian words for children
Unfortunately it seems to be mostly automated. In my experience if your book shows up on some foreign site that appeared out of nowhere and clearly is just a machine translated copy of the description, and the site doesn't even actually have a copy of the ebook to provide, all your KDP titles get delisted.

You can usually get Amazon to put the books back up, but it tends to take a while and is very disheartening having all your work removed. It's been a problem for years, but Amazon basically owns the market so there's not much you can do.
Perhaps, but if you told me a vertical farm only worked at a scale above X thousands of square metres due to economies of scale, I'd find that quite plausible. So I can see why an investor might not wonder too hard why the scale is so large. On the other side, the dream-sellers have only until the writing on the wall becomes legible to extract the cash, so they can't mess around doing the HP garage thing for a decade.

Given the actual consistent result, it's still probably on the investors for being credulous marks with a case of techno-FOMO and high on their own supply, but I don't think it's always been necessarily so simple on the face of it to be debunked by a bunch of grouchy Internet contrarians in 31 seconds (though probably, again based on the result, was always debunkable by decent independent due-diligence).

After all, it's not hard to imagine a world where SpaceX is a smoking crater in 2015 and we're all going "well obviously you couldn't have landed a rocket, what did they think would happen?!". Another example: the jury's still out on if Uber's long bet on a pivot into self driving taxis can pay off before they bleed out, and you can find plenty of "obviously..." analyses saying they'd be dead or that they'd be the only transport in town by 2020. Neither of those could start in a niche, they were all-or-nothing. And those greenhouses that did start in a niche would have had huge attrition too, again, at the time, each probably seemed like a good plan to invest the family savings into.

It's not unthinkable, to me at least from the outside, that vertical farming had a chance of being a capital-intensive, high-barrier, high-payoff industry. In that I'd be surprised by it about as much as I was by SpaceX's technical payoff about 7 years ago: "huh, so that does work, crazy".

And all that said, if you're an investor who would rather gamble the money than spend a fraction of the promised returns on due diligence, then thanks for the trickle-down, I suppose. And probably just as well farming isn't about to end up in the hands of Farming Uber even faster than it already is becoming.
Everyone suspects they're buying Figma for $20B not because they think it will bring that amount of money, but that it will maintains Adobe's pricing power.

Is that turns out to be true, then it seems a violation of the act.

There should be no question about xylitol being beneficial for dental health. (Not just less harmful than sugar, but actively beneficial.)
Eh, as long as the team is on board, and the sugar is simple enough and maps well to the underlying language without a ton of extra code, then I have no issues with it.

If it ever becomes a liability, you just check in the "transformed" code and it's gone.
The economics of this have been well observed in the car industry. Car makers prioritize luxury cars with higher margins when there is a restriction on how many cars they manufacture (due to supply or legal constraints), but if there is abundance, the lower end of the market is well served because there’s just more overall volume there.

What a great way to plaster your code all over the web potentially! No wonder the banks are banning this already.
This is a good idea executed terribly badly. There's no world in which I would agree for my inbox to be sent to OpenAI.

Literally people's most private messages, and even privileged conversations, are being shared with a 3rd party. One with no track record, no audits, not much in the way of controls. Hard pass.

There will be a breach of OpenAI one day. The only question is if it's your emails that will be leaked.
> „the German mentality toward non-Germans” This skepticism towards anything non-German is one of the reasons the SW sector and digitalization in Germany is in such a dire shape.

In Germany the „Michelin“ tires are pronounced in a German way in advertisements (and not in French, like in most other countries), because Germans wouldn’t buy something that has a name that doesn’t sound German.
I can attest to this. You don’t even have to avoid all carbs. Just cut out sweet sugary stuff and things will start tasting sweeter. It works with salt too.

While there's been a lot of attention on cases where AI fails quite poorly (such as anything requires factual information), it is actually very good in specific use cases.

I personally find it very useful for answering NP-hard-like questions (Hard to find an answer to, easy to verify answer is correct), such as when I have something on the tip of my tongue or looking for a specific term/word.

It's also fairly good at summarizing, as well as generating text. You may not want to send the e-mail as is, but it can be a good starting point for drafting an email or message.

These seem like specific value add, especially in the context of an email frontend.
please just use rescript it addresses every problem with js/ts and is simpler and you get a sound type system please.
I sense a projection.
Thanks. It wasn't as concise as I'd hoped for (I wanted about the same number of words as the parent comment) but it's a good summary.
I just avoid artificial sweetener as a category. They all taste like chemicals to me anyway. I used to drink a lot of Diet Coke but have hardly touched it for years. It tastes like weed killer to me now.
In this particular case, it seems easier said than done?

OP did put eggs in different basquet ( social medias ) but Google will be Google right? What would be the alternative.

I'm writing a book about NixOS, you may track the progress here:
https://drakerossman.com/blog/practical-nixos-the-book

It's more NixOS oriented, but most of the knowledge is obviously transferable to a bare-bones (if one could say that) Nix installation on top of other OSes.

With regards to all the Nix/NixOS documentation already out there, I'm trying to keep my stuff extremely straight-forward and rather simplistic (but not superficial), so the people outside of Nix (and even outside of Linux) may give it a solid try.

Just to note, if you wish to subscribe to the newsletter, it's broken now, gonna fix it in a few days.

Also a question to @grhmc: would you maybe have some doc that describes how to UN_install nix via your installer on macOS?
I don't mean via prompt. As HN comments have taught me, that doesn't work.

But OpenAI's ChatGPT beta allows for user feedback via thumbs up/down on responses. That does get put into weights eventually, correct? I imagined they cleaned up the data and applied it to the weights at a later version of ChatGPT? For example, the latest version says Feb 13th.
My kingdom for "everything is an expression" in JS/TS, but that would likely require an entirely new language.
Any time.
Haha. Fair enough. Thanks :)
No need to reinvent the wheel:

I am the opposite. When it comes to bring short lived branches into the main branch, we only allow MERGE COMMITS, we don't ever do fast forward commits.

When looking at history on our main branch, we ALWAYS use `git log --first-parent` which ONLY shows merge commits. Then it shows you exactly what was important (the merge) and in the correct order.

I really wish this was the default view of git log, or really, if git log acted like bzr log that would be even better. It would stop all these arguments about how to have linear history.
> Play and buffer between intent and action creates a long tail of potentially disastrous unknown edge cases and also interferes with the feedback loop that prevents mastery.

I don't know if this means anything here, because that feedback loop is basically the MO of all these tools.
Interesting that this uses mongodb[1] - doesn't that mean the service is open under the mongodb license? Or does the managed service not use mongodb? Or did they (mongodb) go back to a more sane license? Or is the infisical Mongo image based off a fork?

Is not one of the LLVM rules, pointers must be valid and have a valid provenance in order to be dereferenced? If 0x2 ends up in a pointer that is dereferenced (or 0x0 in a nonnull pointer), has that rule not been broken? And if the rule is broken, does that not trigger undefined behavior?
> Try walking on the road in any business district and see how long it is until you get a ticket for jaywalking or illegally walking in the road.

What law are you referring to that makes it illegal for pedestrians to walk on the road facing traffic on a road in a business district.

> since sharing a road with 50 mph traffic (which means real-life 60+ mph speeds) is risky.

I've done it plenty of times and motorists simply change lanes to pass me. Most motorists are only comfortable going 60 mph of they're able to see at least 700 feet or more in front of them. That gives then at least 7 seconds to see a cyclist and the cyclist that much time to see them in their mirrors. That's enough time to tell whether the motorist is slowing down or changing lanes to pass. If they aren't, then you can ride off road to avoid a collision.

In my years of experience riding on roads with 50 mph+ speeds, every motorist either changed lanes or slowed down well before they caught up with me based on what I could see in my mirrors.
I recall it being at either Space Port or Tilt in the Lake Forest Plaza. I bet it was around Fun Arcade too but I wasn't allowed to bicycle all the way out to Metarie at that age.
Sure, but in terms of broad software design industrial adoption, which is the only relevant metric when looking at Figma, those users wouldn't factor in. Anyone tinkering with old standalone versions of Adobe programs would not likely become paying Adobe Ecosystem customers regardless of how great the new Photoshop features were.

Most companies just pop users into their corporate CC site license and give them a brand new fast laptop to run it on and be done with it. It's basically SAAS at this point.
With edibles is getting tricky because everyone is eating everything… sometimes just one bite from a nice big tomato enough to ruin it…. Best to plant a lot to have for you, or plan for the ugly nettings and enclosures…. One thing that usually works are cherry tomatoes enough for you and the critters….
I cut down on salt and eating out now kind of sucks, everything tastes like a salt stick.

My pet theory is that one of the people who procure live samples for the lab was infected already from their most recent trip and they went to have some food at a local Wuhan market.
Since the data is not under your control -- it belongs to the "real" engineering team, which has vastly greater status -- you will not be able to. You will complain and they will ignore you. You will offer to help and they will refuse. You will open a PR and they will reject it.
A surprising number of people have never been happy with Python 3 and even say it was a mistake. Whether you hear this attitude probably just depends on who you're around.
I assume you make oatmeal with water, right? Try to make it with milk (2% is fine) instead of water.
Probably not the healthiest alternative but I think better than sugar or sweetener.

>70% of security bugs are memory safety issues. That's a lot of real problems.

For the love of all that is good, not worth a trip to ER. That kind of emergency usually happens when least expected, and the epinephrine is on the other side of the farm, and need 15 minute ride.

Personal experience, solitary bees (and honey bees in general) - the key word here is bees, NOT wasps - are gentle. I regularly play with bubble bees and show my progeny how to treat them.

But, that implies that you can identify a bee from a wasp.

Take a look at some of the comparison images and you will get the gist [0]. Drunk yellowjackets are the worst.

(Do not read this: to be fair, ground nesting solitary wasps are not as freakish as any hive wasps.)
For the most part developers focus on luxury because they are limited in how much they can build and there is enough pent up demand willing to pay. Also they have rules like minimum sq ft in cities and minimum acreage in suburbs.
Agreed, this is not revolutionary but the pricing seems quite reasonable.

I noticed the fine-print though "Subject to minimum subscription period".

That's likely a 12-month subscription, paid monthly. If you're not going on a remote hike every month then it becomes less attractive. You don't really need a satellite capable messaging device for 12 months of the year.

At this point, I'd rather a service where each message costs $1 but has no ongoing costs than what is being offered here.
AI Singularity: The Hubris Trap
Given that we have a psychological vulnerability to supernormalization, I fear that it will cause even the most naturally beautiful people in our society to feel ugly and unlovable for even their smallest imperfections and alter our beauty standards to the point where supermodels in real life are considered merely the "girl next door".

Of course, we could have a global awakening and see through the lies the industry is pushing on us and reject this trend entirely, but I fear the former is more likely than the latter.
Email is the perfect tool for these new LLMs - most of us have years, even decades, of our writing and important information in our email archives. Now that we have AI which can understand that in a deep way, a ton of value is waiting to be unlocked and email is going to change. All of our tools will. I talked a bit more about this in our blog post today [1].

Also yes, attention is nice for a small young startup fighting against a bunch of giant companies who've been doing email for decades. Marketing is indeed a thing :) But we stand by Smart Summaries as a feature that actually makes your email experience better and faster. And we plan to build more soon.

That's a great non sequitur you just spewed out. In case your Latin is rusty, that translates to "it does not follow".

And that’s key - if people can’t have consistency, a system of government never can.

Therefore all governments have a nonzero chance of “evil” and should be, at all levels, distrusted and where appropriate, dismantled.
Oculus Quest. I haven't used it ever since one of its controllers stopped working. Last I checked(a year so ago) they are on Amazon for a ridiculous price.

It's extremely accurate, though. He described 4 of the last 6 jobs I've had, as if he had been there with me.
Given than in JS an empty string is a falsy value you can go even shorter:

items = items.map(x => x.toUpperCase() || `<empty>`)
Not surprised but this also misses some of the big wins of vertical farms - big increases in sustainability. Money is not everything - and if it can be profitable (even if it is less profitable than outside) it could potentially still make sense.

Realistically though I think this will not see bigger use until we actually get fusion power working and/or it becomes more useful on places like the Moon or in environments where there is far less natural sunlight (like very northern latitudes)

Can you name a functioning example of design review, though? My experience with them is specific to Seattle, and the program absolutely does not work as your comment hopes.
No, the point is to make money.
A recent Rasmussen poll claims that almost half of blacks are not sure that it is okay to be white.

Have to wonder then what percent of women are not sure that is okay to be male, and if this has anything to do with the current "state of our unions" as discussed in the article.
I prefer the approach of AntiX and MX Linux. Start from a clean live distro, mod it to your taste, master it to a new Live ISO. You can also start from a normal MX/antiX system and make a live ISO backup. You can also install those ISOs. Systemd is optional on MX and disabled by default. LOTS of live and remaster options on those systems. I find myself more on live than on installed systems now. It's basically like working with FS snapshots.

A similar distro with remaster tools based on Devuan is Refracta.

There used to be the Debian Live project but it looks obsolete. EDIT: sorry I misread the bug reports, it is OK https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-man...
In the case of Cambridge, MA, a reasonable stance is kind of required if the city is going to materially grow further. Without it, Cambridge would stagnate if progress was halted by quagmires of bickering. The only real thing of note is larger apartment buildings are largely put in the SE and NW ends of the city.

For those who've never been, Cambridge is one of the densest cities in the entire US -- ~122,400 people over 6.4 square miles of land -- even though it's predominantly three story tenements throughout, and still maintains a 1950s Americana "Main Street USA" running through the core of the city.

Though a fair number of the Boston "suburban cities" (save Brookline) have been re-reviewing their zoning and review processes. They all know they're landlocked and out of room with regulations that prevented further building what was already there. It's been nice to see that become increasingly relaxed to allow things to get done.
Be realistic, 'everyone should wear this to provide cover to people in stealth mode' is not a sensible security plan outside of an extremely limited number of contexts. I hate security camera theater and panopticons most than most people, and I have exactly zero expectation of this becoming A Thing.
I know it was not bourbon because that does no such thing. Rum? Tequila?
Generally speaking, you’d expect newer housing to be on the higher end no matter what, because people with less money would tend to buy/rent older housing, in the same way that all but the cheapest new cars are mostly bought by the more well off.

I'm going to slightly disagree with "it's sad" part; understanding it's unfortunate on local / personal scale, food getting cheaper is what allows all of us here at hacker news to do something else rather than cultivate food as primary preoccupation of majority of population :-/
