Twitter's interim CEO has a track record pushing the pace of automation. He has the mindset for an ordinary person to operate a space capsule or ev car with advanced chips behind the scenes doing the automation. The following comment on his Twitter is more amusing than the one he made to an audience at E3

This is arguably the most mind-blowing thing about "reality"

Conventional mortgage qualifications are typically 36% DTI. Debt to income ratio is (PITI + all other monthly debt payments) / monthly pre-tax salary. PITI is principal, interest, property taxes, and mortgage insurance.
You sound like you have no idea what you're talking about when you say that ChatGPT is a magic fix for Alexa. I gave concrete examples of:

- why ChatGPT's style of "convincing bullshit" is a bad fit for a user interface like Alexa

- failure modes of NLP in UIs

- why NLP still won't save Alexa if it gets to a human level of accuracy because humans aren't accurate enough

If you have any actual knowledge or argument other than, "You're ignorant, [technology that doesn't exist] is going to fix Alexa," then let's hear it.
Many home devices use dnsmasq as their DHCP server and DNS resolver, and it can optionally use hostnames from the DHCP part of its business during resolving DNS too.

The point GP had that it won't work, then DHCPv6 is not used.
It's just semantics. "managing remote resources" or "calling remote procedures" is all just network calls, usually http.

What about acting as an organic interface (grown from the subject's own stem cells) for a brain–computer interface (BCI)?
It works for me on the Web but there seems to be a widespread problem with images. Only the fallback color gets rendered but no-one's actual images. I think uploading is fine though as the color matches the image (for me).

I know quite a few developers who have a knack for following market trends and jumping on the rocket ship before it is about to launch.

It's actually not that hard if you think about what filter you would apply. The one hard part is finding recruiters who specialize in placing people at these companies, and, of course, passing the interview (or at least enough success that the interviewer doesn't tell the recruiter you are a poor quality candidate).
yeah twitter in general's been having problems today
If you're looking for a Django replacement, check out Adonis. Laravel in PHP was heavily inspired by Django but is much better and Adonis is an exact clone of Laravel. I think you'd like it.
well, if only a minority uses those workarounds/libraries then maybe it's best to have it as a library and not in the language. That way the language can worry about other things instead of having to support twice as many integer types.

I also sometimes want to have unsigned integer types, mostly for data model correctness sake (aka this value can't be negative anyways, lets use unsigned). But so far I only really missed unsigned bytes in java (which the author acknowledges). And even in other languages I rarely "need" unsigned types.

Maybe I phrased poorly, but you didn’t try either.

Believe it or not, but the project emerges from the devs themselves, it was not even an idea before they spoke up and we had to make it a project, to support them.
I would not recommend that, as it will raise your LDL-C and likely LDL-P.

If someone eats 100% keto, that might not be a problem. But the average Joe is going to think "hey I've heard about this keto thing, that means I should eat more steak and butter". Ultimately this translates to a mixed high saturated fat + carbohydrate diet which is the worst of all worlds.
Web and app back up - but currently all links posted return that error onclick / tap.
There's a reason most haven't moved to ipv6. ipv6 is a solution looking for a problem. What we really need is an ipv7 that takes the best of ipv4 and ipv6 instead of trying to force ipv6 down a reluctant user group.
I guess people might argue this all day but I think Cities: Skylines is mostly that, with the rather large caveat that you can't start separate games on the same large map at the same time. You can still get mods (easily, from the steam workshop) which open up the entire terrain, and then use one of several different approaches to build multiple towns on the same map.

I'm sure I'm forgetting other stuff that's missing, but they both scratch the same itch for me.
WPC: Whole Picture Workload Characterization
Any analog recording medium is 100% at the mercy of how much care went into the mechanics.

The tape head is essentially a stethoscope in direct physical contact whith every other part in the machine, and even the table it's sitting on and your house and the world.

Every part of it from the quality of the bearings or bushings, or lack of either just plastic parts rubbing directly on metal pins, the motor, gears, all of it is present in the physical motion of the tape, which is directly added to the signal you get out of the head.

It's like putting your ear on any machine, you can hear every single part inside the machine.

It can't be fixed by electronics In the same way that you can't unscramble an egg.

You can only fake improving it with filters that really just modify the signal even more. It may sound a "better" if one of the worst components is a big simple crude regular motor pulse or ac hum, and a filter can somewhat match that well enough to make it less noticeable, but the resulting output is even further deviated from the original signal.

Digital does not have this problem because a bit is a bit. A bit that barely registered and a bit that came from a strong signal are both the same bit once read, and even some amount of incorrect bits are repaired by math and redundant data.

And digital doesn't care how slow or fast the bits come. Any deviations from imaginary perfect media speed aren't turned into audio signal because the data is not being turned from physical aspects of the media directly into sound like a stethoscope, it's just a block of data that could arrive at any speed, and the audio is fabricated later by interpreting the data. The audio there is determined by the quality of the dac.

I obviously have nothing to back this up with, but my instinct is that it’s the over exploitation that makes it such a powerful economy. But just like Saudi Arabia’s oil it will eventually stop being a sustainable source for the economy. Alaskan fisheries collapsing, rivers that support water hungry crops in the desert running dry might be first indicators of many that things are collapsing.
(author of the article here) Agreed. I'm just commenting on the hardware architecture. The deck is a pretty competent gaming device, given its ultraportable form factor and tight power constraints. You can find that out on any number of sites that have reviewed the Steam Deck from gaming experience perspective, so I didn't think it was necessary rehash that.

Sure. That's why they farm raise them in Asia. European carp, anyways.

A guide to succeeding on Tinder, according to the app’s scientific adviser
What a world we live in, where a person can't write a coherent blurb of text without being suspected of using ChatGPT. Anyone remember Idiocracy? That movie is starting to sound more and more like a prophecy.
So how much more is someone “worth” who can understand the different parts than someone who made their career knowing how to play the promotion/leetCode/system design/behavioral interview game at any of the large tech companies and position themselves to show “scope” and “impact” by getting on the prime projects?

It’s a much more straightforward path and one I would recommend to anyone starting their career today.

I didn’t take that path. But seeing people who did have it much easier. No I’m not complaining. I’m good with where I am
How your Tinder accounts could be Hacked using Facebook’s Account Kit
It's definitely not a joke at all. It's exactly how I use the voice assistants. But unlike a traditional programming language, there's no documentation, it's non-deterministic, and the same command will suddenly stop working. It's insane.

So here's my process with Google Asisstant:

- guess what it will understand through trial and error

- use that command pattern, like "set [something] to [level]%", for a few months

- try it again one day, and suddenly it doesn't work

It makes you scared to trust it in almost any situation.
Agreed- I turned on ipV6 and even tried turning off ipv4. All I found was a bunch of new, different problems to debug that were inevitably because somebody else somewhere doesn't support ipv6, or I would have to run some sort of bridge between the two networks. Of course this is for home where I don't need a gajillion publicly-routed IPs.
And one can criticize a design without making generalized stereotyped assumptions about the gender of the designer.

You are directly contradicting yourself in the last sentence?

This nonsense-belief of "individual change" as a necessary precursor to societal adaptation of necessary policies is an absurdity most likely cooked up by industry spin-doctors.

Of course, it is exactly the other way around. Abstract insight into a problem and its solution needs to be implemented into policy by the government. That is it's primary function.

It's not that the reluctant user group doesn't like IPv6, they don't like change.
If you're already adept or not looking into things that are challenging to you, then you might just need a list of ingredients. If somebody who has never cooked needs to dice onions for the dish and doesn't know how to do that, YouTube will help much more than any text. There are so many things and aspects that we don't have vocabulary for and is just faster showing.

I haven't tried to replicate the author's journey, but in my experience it requires a considerable amount of hand-holding. e.g. Functions will be stubbed out, but contain no logic.

I was able to guide it through a "playable" flappy bird, bit it took several revisions where I pointed out what was wrong/needed to be done before it truly returned a functional error-free prototype.

It felt like pair-programming with a promising and apologetic junior dev.

Some highlights i found interesting:

if you're reading an online forum and you find the rule "DO NOT DISCUSS PINK ELEPHANTS", that will increase your expectation that users will later be discussing pink elephants. GPT-4 will make the same inference.

Think about your own experience reading a book — once the author describes the protagonist, then you can guess the traits of the antagonist by inverting the traits of the protagonist. You can also guess when the protagonist and antagonist will first interact, and what will happen when they do. Now, an LLM is roughly as good as you at structural narratology — GPT-4 has read every single book ever written — so the LLM can make the same guesses as yours. There's a sense in which all GPT-4 does is structural narratology.
yes, but RDNSS is a relatively new option (only since 2007 ;) ), so some implementations ignore it.
Show HN: Construct Animate – our new browser-based animation tool
just got the same issue here in UK, global issue on twitters part?
This is an issue that many large companies face. There is a vast amount of work that is not core work, so the metrics get skewed into ancillary work instead of something like # of checkins, lines of code, tickets resolved, etc. In many large orgs there is often much "meta work" in order to produce justifications, forecasts or historical data for higher ups to make strategic decisions.

So, it can be difficult for a manager to really know when their reports are working at home as much as at the office. I doubt anyone will ever be able to fully verify another without some metric, even if that's just seeing them at a desk - despite none of those methods really saying work getting done.

The other problem, correlated with this, is that when everyone is remote there will be more meetings.

It's six of one or half a dozen of an other. [1] The employees and managers all do what they can, which is never enough. In the next few years I suspect a culture will settle down around this and it will not be as suspect for people to work remote. The companies will see who works, and the remote workers will see what they need to do and not do.

> the US as a whole seems happy to overexploit itself at the expense of its citizens.

At the expense of *most* of its citizens. I know people who make a shocking amount of money fishing in Alaska every summer. The problem with the US is that it always prioritizes a few of its citizens getting rich, to the diffuse and often intangible detriment of the rest of us.
Well, that's why basically nobody builds them in places like New York or SF. Even so, I think you're underestimating how long it takes to make it to a net profit as a startup. Even in one of these cities, the planning-to-profit timeline is under 5 years.

Even 432 Park Avenue, the new huge luxury tower in NYC, took 3 years. A random startup takes a lot longer to get to the money.

Buy the cheaper one, get the extra part - probably a movable door latch, at least that is how my mother's Miele does this - and build it in the device yourself. You may have to add something to actually make the thing move since the firmware in the controller probably does not have this function enabled on down-specced versions [1] either by changing the firmware or by adding a simple circuit (hooked up to that beeper...) which actives the moving latch at the right moment.

I find this fascinating. Imagine programming the Devil in a video game. It can be much easier if you've already programmed God (just flip a few bits).

I also like this line:

Curious what would you do if you created an ad-free search engine?
Great read. Highly recommended. Let me attempt to summarize it with less technical, more accessible language:

The hypothesis is that LLMs learn to simulate text-generating entities drawn from a latent space of text-generating entities, such that the output of an LLM is produced by a superposition of such simulated entities. When we give the LLM a prompt, it simulates every possible text-generating entity consistent with the prompt.

The "evil version" of every possible "good" text-generating entity can pretend to be the good version of that entity, so every superposition that includes a good text-generating entity also includes its evil counterpart with undesirable behaviors, including deceitfulness. In other words, an LLM cannot simulate a good text-generating entity without simultaneously simulating its evil version.

The superposition is unlikely to collapse to the good version of the text-generating entity because there is no behavior which is likely for the good version but unlikely for the evil one, because the evil one can pretend to be the good one!

However, the superposition is likely to collapse to the evil version of the text-generating entity, because there are behaviors that are likely for the evil version but impossible for the good version! Thus the evil version of every possible good text-generating entity is an attractor state of the LLM!

For those who don't know, Waluigi is the evil version of Luigi, the beloved videogame character.

--

EDITS: Simplified text for clarity and to emphasize that the hypothesized simulated entities are text-generating entities.
IMO it's more like if you tell the LLM to never talk about Pink Elephants, it will become easier to get it to talk about Pink Elephants later. (It is easier to get an anti-Pink Elephant model to talk about Pink Elephants than it is to get a neutral model to talk about Pink Elephants)
its done in such a way that people will be able to write modules that automate this for you. I can already imagine a boilerplate generator being created for this
The point is that it gives you options. You might not want to have anything on a network reachable from the internet today, but next year you suddenly need that capability and it's useful to be able to take advantage of that, rather than wading through the buggy mess of NAT.

> It's a complete non-issue that nobody really cares about.

A significant number of people spend a significant amount of time trying to carve out and re-use address space in their existing IPv4 allocations and RFC1918 space. This becomes nightmarish the moment you start thinking about networks of any significant size and complexity. All of these problems go away with IPv6, and we care about that a lot.
