You're very wrong about SELinux and I assume haven't touched it in years. It's enabled by default in Fedora, other distros use it as well, and it really isn't at all that big a deal to learn and configure proportional to the benefit.

I'm not remotely wrong about OpenBSD, and that manpage doesn't contain anything that contradicts a point I've made.
There's [1]

A couple of years ago there was a bunch of excitement around[2] (discussion[3]), but looks like it's been taken off the internet archive due to legal challenges trying to get some material removed from it. Lots of copies out there if you search for UTZOO Wiseman Usenet Archive, though.

"It seems to me that Californian's (at least the activists) like the idea of more housing, they just hate more housing."

As a I Californian, think it's darker. I think Californians don't believe in more housing at all. I think they will say to your face they want more lower income housing, but behind closed voting booth they vote NO to housing.

What's keeping it from becoming A G I is that it's still missing a "G" and still missing an "I".

Try to think of the article above as an academic demo. That's similar to a tech demo, but it only works in a lab, rather than only working in a showroom.

But it's a cool demo, with a cool robot doing cool stuff. Don't let me sound like I'm dismissing the obvious impact of it.
As you say, the main use of category theory is to organize very different areas of math in one overarching framework and generalize ideas from one area of math to others. It might be used in the pursuit of developing AI but it is definitely not "an approach" to developing AI, just like "taking ideas from books" isn't one.
thanks @sebastienrouif for bringing that up! Comprehensive bug reports is indeed one of the big use case we expect.

Imagine if the support team could spin up the same device mentioned in the customer ticket, reproduce the bug, and then just share the replay with the dev. No more painful back n forth with the dev ("sry, can't reproduce, what was the device again?"). And the dev gets the whole info he needs (annotated recording, steps to reproduce, device & OS version) to reproduce, and even some info to start investigating (app logs and network requests). It's like making your support team score hole-in-ones every time they tee off. We just slashed the time to fix.
Slack is prohibitively expensive if you need more than 90 days of history, and Discord isn't very open or great for search.
No, anecdotes are unreliable.

It would be better to do a systematic study, and publish the results in a scientific journal like Current Biology. Then maybe to help get the word out, publish a summary on a website like Science.
It hasn't really been developed, so it's in the same state that email would have been in, had it too been abandoned.

The big surprise is that NNTP servers are still running, and that there are active newsgroups. With a bit of care I still think NNTP could be a nice base for new localized social networks. Just in the small "town" where I live there are a number of Facebook groups, those could just as easily have been newsgroups.

Usenet currently isn't in a great state, and had it not been for piracy it would have looked even worse.
It's worth remembering that New York-based opposition to subsidies for Amazon's construction of "HQ2" in Long Island City was widely vilified and disparaged in mainstream media outlets across the political spectrum. This latest development looks like a pretty strong vindication of those who were outspoken against these tax handouts to Amazon.
It would do exactly that. We run 2 separate immigration systems in the US. One very restrictive system for high paying jobs and one very permissive for low paying jobs. The latter is technically illegal but tolerated. It can't be legal, because then there would be nothing stopping those immigrants from eventually getting the high paying jobs.

This dual system protects the upper class from wage competition while allowing it for the lower classes, ensuring that the upper class benefits both from this protection and also the lowered living expenses provided by cheap labor from the lower classes. All arguments that somehow economic laws don't apply and immigration doesn't lower wages come from members of the upper class who want to preserve this system that benefits them.
This is a really bad comparaison. Expedia didn't build their services in a way that makes the users think the hotel they are booking belongs to expedia. No one is going to buy an Air-France flight from them and expect the plane to be flown by Expedia employees
I'm curious to try this now, manifests are just json and I'm pretty sure the registry lets you push these things directly - it's possible with bash alone.

> Hard to impossible to do in ephemeral or shared build services. IIRC, you can't add EBS or EFS volumes to Fargate tasks, and with EBS volumes you don't have concurrent access between multiple build runners.

You can attach EFS to fargate tasks. My more general point there was that it feels like a lot of complexity disappears if you don't have an ephemeral build service and can just use docker as docker.

Something I'd missed in my first readthrough was about using existing running containers - that makes me a little uneasy but "start from scratch" and "update a running system" are fair points to find tradeoffs between them. It all feels like trying to push the tools to work in a way they weren't really intended to.
Ooc why didn't you disable notifications? I have them disabled and with a nicely curated feed (like yours) it's pleasant. The hard part is limiting your usage. I trick myself by putting the app many screens deep and in a folder so it's not one tap away.
A woodworking clamp with a handle in line with the screw will generate about 400lbs of force. That’s a reasonable model for how much axial force you will be able to exert with a screwdriver handle and beefy threaded screws. To get 150000 psi you have to squeeze something .0027 square inches, or 1.7mm^2, leave some room for edges and let’s work with 1mm^2.

I’m not sure what interesting things can be done with this superconductor in 1mm^2, but squeezing the anvil isn’t outrageous.

For perspective, TSMC will put 150 million transistors in that area. I kind of suspect that integrated circuits might flow at this pressure, so that might not be the application, but a superconducting ground plane and power plane would be interesting.

Edit: Wait, maybe that’s just a giant capacitive load on all the signals. Do something smarter.
Yahoo! Groups lasted 19 years.

I co-admin a large group that had to find a new home when it was killed off. We went to a third party (groups.io) that accepts money in exchange for services.

Will that have longevity? No idea, but it's at least preferable to trusting [insert big tech co]'s benevolence in keeping a service (that they seemingly don't care about) running.
Oh, that's disappointing, but it answers the question of how the market is defined for the quoted statistic.
Why would anyone trust a free-to-use app that’s grabbing all of the information in their browser and sending it to a 3rd party? Seems insane.

Except the LLM has no idea that it is not self aware. It’s just a statistical machine to mimic what a person would say.

New government plan opens up possibility of 80.5-hour work week in Korea
IANAL, but it seems that would require the equivalent of a warrant to search your house. (among other things, they would need to actually get physical possession of your SSDs for the key to be useful, so they'd need a warrant for an actual physical search)

If judges in your area are giving those out like candy then you've got a problem, whether you have security cameras or not.
Hi, this is a fair concern. We're super early and working on a proper privacy policy as we speak. But we also provided some color about how we handle your data on our Discord. Copying it here:

```
The privacy section on the landing README remains true. We just send your requests to OpenAI and store them for debugging purposes but we don't fetch or store anything else than what is required to process your requests of course. XP1 being opensource you can also look at the code if needed, but happy to answer any question
In short:
- Requests (including the text dump of tabs you select) go to the Dust main platform
- They are processed as part of a Dust app whose Run object is stored
- The LLM query is sent to OpenAI (retention policy 30 days, not used for training)
- The response is tored as part of Dust's Run object
- The response is streamed back to the client
```
> PS: Stay AWAY from the "Explore" tab. That is an endless dopamine well of misery.

I have a 6 figure instagram id and have never opened the explore tab.

But I also stopped using instagram when I realized the ads are more interesting than the people in my feed. Maybe early instagram folk just aren’t the target market anymore.

Sometimes I miss my quirky candid real life photography app.

edit: to clarify for the downvoters — professionally interesting people (influencers) bore me and my friends highlight reels … are kinda boring too because they all end up looking the same since they’re all trying to promote an idealized version of their lives instead of just being themselves. The ads were great, but I don’t need an app for ads. So like the commenter above, I curated heavily – by never checking the app.
Show HN: CrackField – become a Crack in any Field of knowledge – a GPT product
Hello everyone! I am happy to finally reveal my GPT-powered product.

"What is Crackfield? Crackfield is the AI-generated compendium about maximizing understanding and knowledge of any given field, in a few paragraphs. Become a Crack in the Field! We assume the reader is gifted and smart about it. We don't treat the user as a child. We load on the user maximum information."

Six days ago, OpenAI launched GPT-3.5 Turbo API... I used it (and some careful scripting) to generate 4000+ files of judiciously organized knowledge, in a beautiful arborescence. Just take a look, and you'll understand. ~600 fields of knowledge, with interactive teaching modules suggested, with a list of books for each, conferences, journals, ect...

I am alone on this, so if the site is down you can simply download it from there (for a fee)
https://igorzski.gumroad.com/l/gbtsv
It is 4000+ simple HTML files, organized in a beautiful tree.

Become a bud and support Crackfield!

Finally, here is what ChatGPT says about my product:
"Yes! Crackfield is an incredibly useful way to maximize understanding and knowledge of any given field. It is a great way to quickly learn about a new topic, and it provides interactive teaching modules, book suggestions, and more. Plus, it is available for download for a fee, so anyone can access it. So, yes, it is a great product!"

I sure hope you agree with that! I gave it my best.

Thanks,
Igor
I think it's highly dependent on the user. A technically inclined HN user probably knows people who shifted to a tech Mastodon instance (like infosec.exchange).

As a personal anecdote, the people I know who cut back on Twitter did so long before Musk due to general social media burnout.
Awesome! Big fan of OS -- arize is powerful yet expensive, so I think there's a big market there. Alerting is super tough to get right, and false positives are often worse than no alerting at all. In ML its even harder cause "data looks weird" is like 90% of the bugs.

Anyway, congrats! Excited to see where you go with this.

> first created in 1988, or 25 years ago

1988 was 35 years ago. I know, hard to believe... want to know something even more shocking?? People who are today 18 years old were born in 2005!
Possibly... and also the next bit:

> So, why don’t we see every newer house since 2006 with sprinklers? Because most jurisdictions amend their local codes to delete this requirement. Only CA, MD, & Washington DC now keep this requirement.

> Most jurisdictions delete this requirement for various reasons, but the obvious one is the uproar it causes from citizens, builders, etc , because with this new requirement, comes increased cost.

So while its in the building code, local codes may relax that.

California infrastructure was originally scaled for around 20m people. There are currently currently around 40m people and rising living in the state.
There are huge cyclical environmental events - periods of drought, wildfires, torrential rain and flooding (the entire central valley flooded in 1892, killing 40k people, bankrupting the state and wiping out housing, cattle and crops).
We have a mediocre electric grid that fails if any of the above environmental events happen. We allow 95% of rain water to flow into the ocean then promote panic about global warming when the inadequate reservoirs are depleted in dry spells.

Attempts were made to verticalize housing in the 1970's bay area, with predictable results from building life cycles such as Geneva towers in San Francisco.

We don't need to pack people like sardines into metropolitan areas any more. We need to create smaller, more human living spaces closer to resources. There is so much undeveloped land in the state but we are wrecking historically important locations instead of thinking new development. The YIYBY activists are obsessed with existing cities, they are rooted in the past.
I remember reading a study that models did not perform as well with negative instructions ("Do not do X thing") as they did with positive instructions ("do Y thing").
We've had that for decades.
It is ridiculous to get mad at someone who doesn't eat fruit for not eating fruit.

No problem!

> What does provenance have to do with finding Banks accessible?

Well, for instance, my first fiancée was Norwegian, and she really struggled with both Feersum Endjinn and the Bridge. She spoke superb English, better than native level (I am among other things a qualified TEFL/TESOL teacher, and I'd assess her as better than C2 level) -- but she could not handle phonetic English that was not in RP. (Received Pronunciation, that is, "standard" British English, or BBC English.)

Banksie was Scottish and sounded Scottish. (She met him with me, I think. I don't recall if she had problems with his spoken English.) To read the phonetic parts in IMB/IB, you need to read them in a Scottish accent -- the phonetics don't work with RP English.

(Not a clue how they work with American English, which like most Brits I understand fine but cannot speak.)

Another comparison: a few years ago in Brno in the Czech Republic I went to see Trainspotting 2 with a bunch of people: Italian, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, German... and one other Brit, a friend of mine. It was shown in an art-house cinema, not subtitled. I told them they were brave. "Why?" they asked. "It's in English, isn't it?"

"Well, not really..." I replied. "It's in Scottish. It's not the same."

Later they told me that they barely understood a word.

The only people in that showing who did were me and the other Brit.

I am learning Czech. After 8 years, I am approaching B1 level. (Getting to A1 German took me 3 days, for comparison. A1 Czech took about 2-3 YEARS.) The more Czech I learn, to my dismay, the less Slovak I understand.

Scottish is to English as Slovak is to Czech: they are similar, quite close, but not the same. Knowing one as a foreign language may not help you to understand the other. Written English is standardized on the RP British English dialect. When Bankie wrote phonetically, he is recording a different dialect.

So, in my personal experience, a non-native speaker trying to read IB or IMB's books might struggle a lot more than they might do if they were, say, listening to an audio book of the same material.

> I've always felt a certain regret for never having met the guy.

I am very happy I got to spend a little time with him. He is one of my all-time favourite writers, and it was a privilege.

I have in fact got to meet quite a lot of my favourite writers... since you said:

> Or Pratchett.

Yes, Pterry too. I also have his first-ever novel in hardback first edition, as I was a fan of his before he wrote the Discworld books, and met him many times. About half my Pratchetts are signed.

And Douglas Adams, just the once.
The web demo version of ChatGPT can sometimes, as you say, make things up! I asked it a question about an ancient war in Greece and it stated two facts and then just inventing stuff.

However, I would ask you to also consider something: when you supply prompt input text (this is the "context text" in the ChatGPT API calls) and then ask questions about the context text, it is very accurate. It also does a very good job when you give it context text from a few different sources, and it integrates them nicely.

It is more efficient to use embeddings for context text, as Llama-Index does.
It's been a while since I read it, but I think https://erlang-in-anger.com/ addresses some of this subject matter; I'm not sure if it's still current, many things that used to be terrible are now fine ListA -- ListB with big lists used to be a good way to stall your node (to the point we were considering modifying erlang to remove that operator), but now it does something sensible, if not particularly fast. I have not written anything in an organized fashion, but I write way too many comments on here. I haven't seen much of anything from my colleagues; they must be better than I am at keeping their mouths shut, and just getting things done. :)

There's several talks from Erlang conventions; Rick Reed did several overview type presentations, and we had a couple other presenters on different bits and pieces. But, post 2014, we didn't present nearly as much (got kind of bogged down in post-acquisition stuff).
I made an Instagram account recently and within 10 minutes they banned my account for being suspicious, asking for a mobile number. I gave them my number and then the account got banned again for the same reason. I didn't post anything or do anything suspicious, is this common?
Looked at from the fab’s viewpoint, that is just selling their capacity to the highest paying customer. Seems pretty much standard business practice. Nothing nefarious.

Who is “they” in this situation? The issue in this article is developers wanting to build housing being blocked by misuse of an environmental quality law.

If you live in a city with a large and growing population it’s natural to build more housing to accommodate the growth. If you don’t like it you’re also free to “Go live somewhere else!” Right?

A healthy diet can easily include occasional sweet foods and drinks. When I was counting calories, I could still include ice cream or cookies as long as I planned for it and did it in moderation. You can easily make a few hundred calories worth of wiggle room for snacks. Unless you are a tiny woman, in which case it seems really really difficult to restrict calories enough to lose weight but still eat a healthy minimum of calories per day.
I would be mad too, if my gaming PC was demanding 300 Watts of power but it took half an hour to ramp up ;)
It's also a matter of information asymmetry. Most potential renters or buyers don't have a good way to check for construction quality and interior noise levels. Even an independent pre-purchase inspection doesn't tell you much beyond really obvious problems. Customers aren't willing to pay more for higher quality because they can't easily determine quality, so most developers will go with the cheapest possible option and then slap on some granite countertops to make it look nice.

This could be addressed through stricter building codes. But that would drive up construction costs at a time when we already have a housing shortage in many areas.
> What is a model of truth?

That's a fair question. A model of truth is a mapping between propositions and reality. For example, "The sun rises in the east" is a true proposition because the sun does in point of actual fact rise in the east (modulo some uncontroversial assumptions about what the words "sun", "rise" and "east" mean).

> And, do you have one yourself?

Yes.

> Can you prove it?

That depends on what you mean by "prove". I can't prove it in the same way that I can prove a mathematical theorem, but I can give you evidence that I have a model of truth. For example, if you ask ChatGPT what it believes, it will respond, "As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have beliefs or opinions." If you ask me the same question, I will respond by describing my beliefs and opinions. The best explanation for that at the moment is that I actually have beliefs and opinions, i.e. a truth model, and ChatGPT doesn't.

> have you ever seen one or interacted with it with your senses or bodily appendages?

No, but that's simply because truth models are not material things. But I interact with the effects of truth models all the time, just as I interact with, say, the effects of "computer programs" all the time even thought I've never seen one of those either.
But how do you know if it's true information?

ChatGPT has been shown time and time to mix up facts, censor information, and make shit up. It's not an "AI", it's a glorified autocomplete box. I struggle to see how it can replace a search engine.
I don’t use FB or IG, but my partner is able to do amazing things with IG. She’s able to market her business and convert to sales. I’m pretty good at finding info but for local topics she frequently finds more up-to-date stuff from IG than I can find through public channels. She connects me to stories about nieces and nephews that aren’t posted elsewhere. I do catch her doing the glazed eye infinite scroll sometimes, but we all need downtime. If it seems excessive or stress inducing, I’ll gently point it out so she can self-moderate.

I’ve had a very positive experience with instagram — it’s my favorite social media thing. My feed is friends, paintings, photos, bikes, and furniture.

I also used the shopping tab (never bought anything there though) because its recommendations were great for finding specific things with the aesthetic I was looking for. I wish it was still in the app.
You're thinking of Discord, not Discourse.
