I'm used to creating weekly HN accounts
As I don't want that a profile of myself can be easily obtained from my posts, I'm used to first changing my account password to random, so I cannot login anymore into my current user, and then creating a new account. Is this a usual way of behaving in hn?
Why for a very long time? There's no technological barrier to making these things work well in other languages, so it's just a question of where people have decided to spent their time and computing resources, right?

I suspect this will not be the last round. After FB copied "identity verification". My theory is that Zuck is a fan of Musk and looks up to Musk, so will repeat many of Musk's plays. Meaning, cut more staff over and over till Facebook is very lean.
> I have to come to you Amazon, to just give me what I want, not what you think I want.

It's not what they think you want, they probably know exactly what you want.

It's what they're being paid to shill to you. It's more profitable for them to take that money and put you through a bad experience than to just sell stuff to you.
> What exactly did eSIM enable here?

Some examples include

* Backup service in the event that an attacker gains access to your Google Fi account. A backup eSIM with data service for a year has pricing starting at like $2.

* Fast network access in other countries. As far as I know, Google Fi is a carrier in the United States, and does not include network access in other countries.

* Deprioritized on data? The ability to instantly buy a major carrier eSIM and have the data speeds back.

It's potentially a lot more for the big clouds. Anything in the network path has a charge - load balancers, NAT gateways, etc.
I'm not sure what exactly this is supposed to imply.

For what it's worth, while Russia has been losing tanks on a daily basis, it has not been seen as a limiting factor quantity wise until recently. People have been calling Russia's tank losses unsustainable for a long time, and they were correct, but its only now beginning to materialize as actual deficiencies that requires a change in battlefield tactics.

Russia of course still has a lot of tanks. But not enough to support mechanized infantry units effectively at the scale of yolo squads they're sending into the front. They've also lost pretty much any remaining sense of competency among their tank crews. See the clown car pileup of tanks not knowing what to do in a minefield in Vuhledar recently.
Hi Hacker News community!

I'm thrilled to introduce my wife, Diana, the creative mastermind behind absurd.design. As a team, we offer hand-drawn illustrations to project makers who appreciate free-spirited and quirky aesthetics.

That's why absurd.design illustrations are carefully crafted with love and dedication, designed to speak to the emotions of humans like you.

We're excited to share our latest project with you - Chapter 5. This collection features 30 hand-drawn illustrations that tell stories about everyday thoughts and emotions. We invite you to explore their expressive strokes and ignite your creativity.

If you resonate with Diana's work and want to add a touch of quirky aesthetics to your digital projects, we invite you to join our universe of absurd.design. We love sharing our newest works with project members and receiving feedback from the community.

Have you used absurd.design illustrations in your projects before? What led you to choose our platform? We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks for reading!
Zuckerberg cannot be fired by the board like, say, Elon Musk can be at Tesla. He is a 50%+ shareholder.
Has anybody noticed that image quality in Netflix on Apple TV is very variable? Often it is great, but sometimes quality goes way down. Like VGA or something. Force killing the app usually fixes the problem, not always though.
Some clocks use the mains frequency as the input reference. They aren't talking about the time of day being synchronized, just time intervals. I wonder how common that is among modern appliances.
Sure. There are several similar arguments made in this thread. Such as, before the word "run" was first used, we could only walk quickly.

The logic of these arguments is fine. I just noticed a way to nit-pick your implementation of it.
> it's just simply that cooking is a very basic skill.

One that the vast majority of people suck at. Either it's not basic or something else is wrong ... like how hard it is to learn new skills.
The "infamous" reference generators from NIST 800-22 included linear, quadratic and cubic congruential generators only.
A potentially vulnerable implementation that may have used this document as a reference would probably have only gone up to the cubic case.
So I think it's unlikely that someone used a recurrence equation of higher degrees. But you never know.
Also, the higher the degree, the more resources the attack will require. So, we opted for a balanced cost/benefit approach.
JFYI, something like that did exist (but unfortunately didn't have success):

Lore will be dead anyway in a few years. AI bots will be flooding the net with shilling indistinguishable from human beings.

The only way to get valid information will be from someone you can be pretty sure is human. The audio video features of things like Discord help, as do verified identities.
Just to reinforce this suggestion, this was my first thought also. Go get your comp mate.
Hah. I am torn between what I hope to be more true.
It's ironic that out of the non-iMessage chat clients, Facebook Messenger, despite being web-based, is the closest we have to the Apple UI.
I don't know who else sees everything as language problems. Even REST seems like a concrete syntax over HTTP, mostly relational, resources
To prove nickthegreek wrong you would need to show a number meaningfully higher than 0.2% of accounts.
The privacy policy needs to be cristal clear what they do and what they don't with the chat data. How long is it kept, what is it being used for, who has access to it, etc.

Ideally there are no chat logs being kept at all and chat logs are only enabled temporarily for an individual user when debugging issues.
organicmaps -> google maps Of course Google Maps has traffic prediction and restaurant ratings, there's no good open alternative yet. For standard foot, cycle, car navigation I fuond organicmaps enough. And it's open, free, offline, no tracking.
This is noted. Thanks for the feedback!
I’m sorry for your loss. The fact that you are the only “male” in you family seems totally irrelevant to me.

You seem to have incredibly stereotypical traditional views on man and women and their roles. Frankly speaking, that is unhealthy for them and you. The fact that you even mention that the dogs are female only shows to me an unhealthy preoccupation with people’s gender.

This is 2023 and women are their own person. They can take care of themselves. You are not responsible for them from some kind of patriarchal notion of manhood.

Be a kind person, help them if really required just to be kind you your family, not out of misplaced old-fashioned and unhealthy ideas about gender roles.
Most selections boil down to which framework has the greatest adoption and mindshare in general and which one has the largest pool of developers locally. In some cases those don't overlap but when they do it makes it hard to justify going against the grain and setting yourself up for a challenge to find people who can hit the ground running on day 1. For those reasons React would be my choice (with Angular being a distant second choice).
"If you're choosing it as the sole community of your project, you've alienated folks that value their digital privacy"

so basically no one? cause almost nobody actually cares about digital privacy
Same with Bitbucket
If you are going to do layoffs, you do it once. Rip the bandaid. Two or more, and you are seriously affecting morale and productivity.

But, if that happens, I've learned from the Twitter-related threads here that it's best to volunteer and take a nice severance, as those go down to almost nothing if you wait and get caught in the later rounds of layoffs.
I suppose that every successful parse also has an implicit validation step in it. Like you said, for me the principle is more about embedding that validation step into an actual type rather than crossing my fingers and hoping that whatever's coming into my function is what I expect it to be.
Hate to break it to you but this is already happening. I know 2 people who fired illustrators and used mid journey instead.

The feedback cycle with humans was too long and they were expensive… with AI the iteration is so rapid that you can try new ideas and make all sorts of adjustments without incurring much cost
More of us developers should quit dealing with Apple until they have a more open policy. People are jumping through hoops and having careers ruined at the whim of Apple so they can maintain their monopoly store. If we don't make stuff for that store, they will have to change. As long as we jump through the hoops they make their money and will not care at all that one of the most beloved games isn't on IOS because the developer had some self respect.
>YouTube is at least somewhat reasonable still

Not really. YouTube is a mess due to advertising. You have to wade through tons of trash to find good content.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll add an option to select the model soon.

As per your question, currently all the previous messages of the same chat will be included in the request. If you hit the 4k token limit, there will be an error message. I'll look into improving this too.
I own a Model3 LR and an ICE. The Tesla is significantly more costly with insurance & tyres. It has also had a bunch of teething problems like broken camera, charging micro (stopping all charging). Fixed under warranty. 20,000km in 2 years.

My ICE has basically had no issues in 7 years (77,000 km) except the cost of oil change once a year. But recently it developed a rattle, which I had investigated, resulting in a $2,000 invoice just to investigate (at one point it wouldn't start at the garage, and they just kept throwing parts at it to get it working again). Now it's got a rattle and won't sell. It will cost more than it's worth to pull the engine apart to find the problem (probably timing chain).

Both are going to have issues. Overall though, for me, I'm more sensitive to time. So I'm scrapping the ICE for a ModelY.
The supplement industry is in sorry state. It hurts to see people throwing away money on useless products on Amazon.

Real Mushrooms is the only mushroom supplier I trust. (No affiliation, you can find discussions about them on Reddit)
Thanks for letting me know, I was getting worried by all the people here who were starting to sound like you and was beginning to think HN was going to shit. I feel better about the world knowing that your are an outlier.
> just give me what I want, not what you think I want.

I feel the same way about writing suggestions in Gmail and “fuzzy search” common on a lot of sites. What’s the deal with this apparent trend of constantly trying to second-guess user intention?

Ah, downvote me, I deserve it.
Now you had your chance, speak up.
Hey that's pretty awesome, can you make the TTS output language configurable?

Also when i send something to the bot i can only send video, (with the iOS app) it makes more sense to send audio. Is this something you can change?

Finally, you should have a privacy policy for a service like this.
> OP is delusional if they think that their approach can be made practical. I mean, what if the expectation from the data that an value is a prime number? -- How are they going to encode this in their type systems? And this is just a trivial example.

People get too caught up in thinking that the type _has_ to express intricate properties, it doesn't. How am I going to express the expectation that something is prime? With the following closed API:

module Prime where

data PrimeNumber

parsePrime :: Int -> Maybe PrimeNumber
toInt :: PrimeNumber -> Int

Now the problem is that _leaving_ this API forgets information. Whether or not that is a problem is a different question, and very dependent on the context.

The same applies to your comment about passwords. One can quite easily create a closed module that encapsulates a ValidPassword type that simply performs runtime character tests on a string.

I want to stress that this approach is making a trade off (as I earlier mentioned about leaving the API forgetting information, forcing you to re-parse). However, this puts this design somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. At one extreme end we have primitive obsession and shotgun parsing everywhere, with this we push the parsing into a sane place and try and hold on to these parsed values as long as possible, and at the extreme end we need dependent types or sophisticated encodings where the value carries a lot more information (and here we get towards propositions as types)
The cross-encoder will only rerank the results, that's right. And you're also correct that if the initial search returns 100 garbage results, it won't be able to help. But that's true for any reranking method. Even the rank fusion you use will rerank only the results returned by keyword and vector search. So what is the advantage of it over cross-encoders?
Sorry for double posting, I can't edit my comments anymore.

Amusingly I just discovered that TikTok is actually a very good educational platform but only for Chinese people in China.

The Chinese version of the popular short video app TikTok, known as Douyin, will force users in China who are under 14 years old to use the so called teenage mode that will limit them to 40 minutes a day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. to ensure they get adequate sleep. Endless zombie-like scrolling is interrupted by mandatory 5-second delays. They’re also only shown specially-selected “inspiring” content.

The algorithm is vastly different, promoting science, educational and historical content in China

I don't know for sure if this is some form of Chinese propaganda, but assuming it's true, compared to the content that is more prominent in the rest of the World, it becomes increasingly hard to call ourselves "advanced societies".
There can be no question of self determination when US pours billions of dollars into shaping politics in Taiwan.
Maybe that will help to show some nice growth figures towards shareholders.

Maybe canceling the whole metaverse thing (it’s not gonna happen) would save so much more.

I feel for all the engineers - probably reading here on HN - that you are all working so hard on something that is so obviously going to fail.
I don’t know dude. From my perspective you have just as much social and cultural capital as the person that you’re responding to. And a “note to future historians” comment? Christ. Keep the snark to yourself.

The record sales were the ad, money was in touring and merchandising. It's the exact same today.
I prefer the former. It separates the pre-conditions from the algorithm/logic, using gate clauses. I find this makes it easier to reason about the algorithm.

Nix is simple to the people who made it because they won't get confused and make mistakes. If you make a mistake, you can put it in a completely broken state. That is not a simple piece of software. Its overengineered and brittle.

Twitter used to not work for me. I would actively avoid clicking on links to tweets as they would reliably not load on the first try, refreshing wasn't reliable either, and was quite slow.

Agreed. Frankly, the chamber is itself a problem. The community is just a nicer name for a tribe you currently subscribe to. It is downright folksy. I don't automatically mind, but there is no reason to pretend otherwise.
Sure, and if you look at the map it becomes obvious that US cannot beat China by force in their own backyard. So, all US is accomplishing in the long run is to create conditions that may lead to a direct conflict between two nuclear superpowers because US wants to be able to project its power in Asia.

Walled gardens are unfortunately the future of the internet.

The public web is full of bots and adversarial content. Worse, anything you contribute in good faith can be used against you in the future by businesses and governments. Even in the rare case where those institutions are trustworthy, there is no guarantee of them being that way. So, the public web’s only power users are those who seek to influence others, who are therefore adversarial toward any higher minded purpose.

Balkanisation and fragmentation, unfortunately, seem to be at least our near future.
They did recently kill off their option to run on-prem, so that probably reduces the support burden.
Fact of the matter is that US has official relations with PRC and not ROC which isn't even recognized by the UN. There is no legal basis for treating Taiwan as a country.
