How do you deal with the UI of ChatGPT slowing down to a crawl after two or three "messages" exchanged? Or am I the only one who had this issue consistently for a month now, across multiple devices?

(Note: I'm not talking about the model being slow to respond, but rather the animation of it typing its response letter by letter quickly starts slowing down, until eventually it hangs, sometimes mid-sentence.)
Just seriously curious, won't you buy it because looks like it was created in a weekend? So maybe not reliable?

Ask HN: Are there SEO techniques for promoting ChatGPT results?
It's hard to find info about optimization strategies to promote businesses on ChatGPT because of the SEO spam about ChatGPT being used to write better SEO articles.

Are there any methods to promote and uplift marketing on ChatGPT (so it talks about your business) like SEO on Google?

I appreciate there are a whole can of worms here, such as rewriting more than just business plugs, but changing perception "big oil is good" etc.

It's an interesting space I've not been able to find much about. Really interested if anyone has any articles, papers it tech research.
Ah, just re-checked that community and apparently they must have phone-gated it recently, as I haven't seen Blender use that before.

My company, a FAANG, went from having all our documentation in a wiki that is searchable by anyone, to heavily using Quip (some sort of Google Docs).

Engineers resisted for a while because it's obviously awful for documentation. You can't even search it AT ALL. But since all the non-technical staff had an easier life editing Quip than editing the Wiki it's now the defacto solution for all.

This is going to be doom of engineering at this company. Over the years I have found countless things on random wikis from random teams that helped me achieve my own solution. Quip destroyed that.

Most people won't :) I've probably met 100s of people and invited them home at one point or another, and worst thing I've experienced is rude, stupid, dumb, clumsy people, or a combination of some/all of those traits. No one is perfect though, including ourselves, so most people come with one or two traits you won't like, but don't let that stop you.

Then head out and make some! Even introverts can make friends, although it is a bit harder for us, I guess.
That very much depends on whether the traffic between the two networks is equal. If it's very asymmetric one side can take advantage of the situation. Also keep in mind that in some locations, free roaming is mandated by law so carriers have no choice but to offer it - in this case visited carriers can take advantage.

For me, couple-words paragraphs like the above should be reserved for the most profound realisation. I.e., if you manage to nail the essence of some complex and novel thought in a couple of words, then they really deserve to stand on their own, in a separate paragraph. There should at most a couple of these in any given book (at most). But, in practice, books are peppered with them, which, to me at least, is very cringeworthy.
These are all very cute taxonomical arguments that a) ignore the point of the exercise and b) are only interesting to software developers.
Hey @pserwylo, great to hear from you, and I especially appreciate your message here with the background. And I'd like to highlight your point that there is much less contributor time than people imagine. If anything, the F-Droid client UX design process back in 2016 has proven to be an immensely efficient exercise it putting together a UX that still works decently. Plus we managed to predict that bottom nav would rise in popularity and those sliding sidebars, which were recommended back in 2016, would fade.

You're of course welcome to contribute again! The hard part is that app stores are large and complicated apps, when done fully, so that makes it hard to contribute to. We do mark issues with "first-timer" https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/?label_name%... and "help-wanted" https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/?label_name%... if anyone is looking for a place to jump in. I think we can also see this in all the various other clients like G-Droid, M-Droid, Foxy, Droid-ify, NeoStore, etc. Many rapidly stop being maintained, and others leave out key functionality like localization and automatic mirror selection because it is a lot of work to implement. The new libraries should make it a lot easier for forks to implement these features.
Yes, I'm super curious. (I have my ideas but I don't want to colour any discussion.)
Or rather, if you disrupt your brain’s function on certain diverting ways you can get it to produce some wacky subjective effects.

Rust won't help. Sure the compiled code would be bounds-checked, but nobody would notice the bug unless they gave it the crashing input. And then when they reimplemented the code in their non-bounds-checked language then that would reintroduce the bug anyway.

> Businesses exist to make money by serving customer needs

this is both correct and inadequate as a principle. Leaving aside the excessive focus on money and the convenient blindness around externalities, customer needs are not static but evolving. What fraction of today's customer "needs" existed 10, 100, 1000 years ago?

Needs are shaped in collective feedback loops that identify and match "desirable" new facets of consumption with deliverable technologies. That non-linear game is much more complex than identifying and serving true customer needs.

While physical tech (hardware) places real world constraints on what can be created (popular culture has a flying car "need" but they are not deliverable), software has almost no such constraints. It is closer to the business nature of movie making or book writing. You use information and code to create an almost entirely pure cultural artifact.

That is why people engage in "faster dishwashers". While it is hard to read the mood of the times and engineer a blockbuster movie, it is much easier to work on a more predictably successful sequel. Of course at some point people tire of sequels.

Why not have a "shopping area" in every locality, say in every block of houses? That way you would be employing people and people would just "walk" to get everything.

Three Powerful Tactics to Improve Your Thinking
Oh I see: the distinction is to stop people frome shipping lousy code and saying "it's technical debt, we'll handle it later".

Ive been at the other end, when we're looking back at code and talking about technical debt, and there's been some semantic arguing about whether it was technical debt or not - I thought giving everything the name of debt would make the mission clearer (improve the code and reduce debt, which is a nice metaphor to communicate with others).

I'm still not entirely convinced by the distinction (we can just say: avoid taking debt if you can avoid it!) , but it makes more sense now.
Hello,

At my current gig we're using doppler[^1] (no affiliation) for application secrets. We're using doppler with their kubernetes operator which supports auto-rotation on secrets. Secrets are set as "env variables". So far, doppler has not suffer big outages or we did not notice, because the operator will keep working even if their API is down - of course you won't get updates. Access control could be more _fine grained_ and they added secret auto-rotation option recently[^2]. We don't use that yet.

I've been a happy 1Password user (no affiliation) and we use it company wide to share user secrets. 1Password support CI/CD integration IIRC, so in theory should cover most use cases.

If you can pay for AWS Vault, the terraform integration comes out of the box. However if you're a small team running vault might be a daunting task and you're inserting another SPoF.

There are many open source application secrets tools that you could check out though. In the past I had great experience with credstash[^3]. Credstash is a really simple and secure open source solution that is based on AWS KMS, IAM and DynamoDB. Costs pennies to run for medium size deployments. Once you setup and document the way to use it, it's really easy. The downside is that as a tool is pretty _raw_ you have to build things like "secret generators", etc. But combined with a slack bot can be a really powerful, secure, cost-effective self-hosted solution that doesn't require maintenance (as opposed to solutions like Vault).

If you have specific questions about any of the above tools feel free to drop an email. I'll happy to answer questions.

[^1]: https://www.doppler.com/

[^2]: Auto-rotation is complicated because you need to integrate the auto-rotation with external tools yourself most of the times. There are Hashi-Vault modules for SQL DBs but not for Mailgun or CloudFlare for example.

> I have always wondered why, exactly, we can't have that at home.

You can. It’s just way less efficient, way noisier, and way more expensive. A Hobart conveyor dishwasher has a cycle time south of 3mn (and throughput of 3 racks/mn, with conveyor speeds reaching 6ft/mn). But it’d probably take most of your kitchen and blow up your electric panel (they need an exclusive 208V 3-phase, and if you plonk for the booster heater that’s a separate supply of the same).

It might also be less reliable, as it won’t really have the occasion to get up to spec (like only running a car for a few miles at a time and never getting it to temp before stopping).

Home dishwashers are designed to work with essentially random inputs (with acceptable results), work very efficiently, and last for long at relatively middling loads / cycling. The middle one is an especially big factor, modern home dishwashers use very little water and less power, so e.g. they’ll often cycle between top and bottom racks rather than have the water and power to run both.
Also not top end ones. Example, the Samsung A40, a mid range sub 300 EUR phone. There is plenty of space for SIMs in nowadays' ridiculously sized phones.
>It is a tremendous advantage to explore your organization fully. Visit its other offices and learn what your colleagues do and why they do it. Especially as an engineer. You can literally write your own ticket. Last year I was bored and I started to break down our cloud spend. This took me on a little detour. That detour involved a team that was following a process I could not understand. Turns out they didn't understand it either. I little reorganization yielded a $385,000/yr cost optimization. It took me just a couple days. Chances are you swim in a sea of complacency too.

If you work in a corporation, this is a surefire way to create enemies inside the organization. No one likes a random employee from another team to poke into what they're doing and tell them what they're doing wrong.

That's what crossing the chasm is about. Before the chasm are tinkerers who don't mind things failing as much, but after it, people want reliable things that Just Work.
The same thought occurred to me. Maybe someone whose written English isn't great and is using ChatGPT to compensate. But I think people are being overly harsh about this article. It's certainly speculative, but it makes no claim to be anything but that and speculation isn't always a bad thing. People in this thread are demanding rigorous evidence, but speculation comes before evidence gathering and experimentation, and I'm sure there will be plenty of that as time goes on.

I agree, although power is also quite well managed in USB PD since both devices know what is supposed to come in, the cheapest chip that I found from TI[0] has:

> Integrated reverse current protection, undervoltage protection, overvoltage protection, and slew rate control for both 20-V/5-A power paths when configured to Sink

> Integrated undervoltage protection, overvoltage protection, and current limiting for inrush current protection for both 20-V/5-A power paths when configured to Source

Unless they really cheaped out on the charging chip there should be no reason to restrict it.

The problem is the European Commission is not applying political pressure because it rolls over for every fig leaf the US offers. It then takes Max Schrems to sue and several years before the CJEU overturns the "compromise".

That said, the Biden administration's latest proposal might pass muster if the proposed redress mechanism were truly independent as part of the Judicial Branch of the United States as opposed to the current proposal which is still part of the Executive and thus conflicted in ruling against surveillance decisions of the Executive Branch and its agencies:

That said, even US citizens don't enjoy meaningful protection against warrantless wiretapping that clearly violates the Fourth Amendment due to the deference the judiciary has given to the executive, so I am not optimistic.
You don't need 20. We ran three dishwasher loads for only eight people recently, with simple cooking. One at the start of preparations so it would be empty and we'd avoid a queue of dirty pots in the kitchen, one when the dishwasher filled up during the evening, and another at the end. To my mind, four loads for 20 people sounds low.
It's indeed possible, and you can easily find already existing OSS ChatGPT implementation that can serve as a base. I am more targeting no tech people or just the ones who don't want to bother building it / hosting it.

In my day job, I deal with the development of, and verifying the usefulness of, tests.

The lesson here is that most tests are designed poorly. Most people don’t realise the effort that goes into doing it properly. Every item needs to be proven to be useful. Items that either purposely or accidentally ‘trick’ the test taker often prove to not be very useful when you run the stats. If a test ‘breaks the fourth wall’ like this, the item probably won’t stand on its own to be useful.

The example described in this post is JSON parsing in Haskell, but I've implemented a complicated compiler transform that lifts loops to static control parts (SCOPs), in the past, in C++. Each inner function in the lift would switch on valid constructs, either returning a lifted integer set, or throwing an exception on match failure. Although exceptions have a non-trivial cost in C++, it was the cleanest design I could come up with at the time.
