- Agreed! Second is super limited right now. I have a good foundation in place though. I just need to build a lot more modules at this point
- agree 100%. I will work on this
- well, things ACTUALLY get interesting when you are adding full-stack features to existing projects!
- for new web applications, Second is like a super starter kit on steroids. But Second can do something that no starter kit could ever do - integrate with your existing repo and start adding features.
Sounds like there’s a gap in the market.

I’m hugely enthusiastic hobbyist that would love to chat more about robotics, in particular how a hobbyist could get started with it (a robot arm + camera maybe?). I’d love to buy you virtual coffee, get in touch if you’re up to it!

What if there was some sort of LLM like breakthrough? I could see someone doing a technique where they track all movements of a person going throug their day with a fine grained bodysuit. They could then use that as tokens for generative input that could give a humanoid robot intuition about how to move around and perform tasks that would match an LLM's ability to respond to arbitrary questions.
I've written (well, participated in development of) two Kubernetes operators, and support about a dozen of them (in our own deployment of Kubernetes): Jupyter, PostgreSQL, a bunch of Prometheus operators and a handful of proprietary ones.

In my years of working with Kubernetes I cannot shake the feeling that it's, basically, an MLM. It carefully obscures it's functionality by hiding behind opaque definitions. It doesn't really work, when push comes to shove. And, most importantly, it survives in a parasitic kind of way: by piggybacking on those who develop all kinds of extensions, be it operators, custom networking or storage plugins, authentication and so on.

My problem is I cannot find who stands at the top of the pyramid. There's Cloudnative Foundation, but all it does is selling certifications nobody really needs... so, that cannot possibly be it. No big name doesn't really benefit from this in an obvious way...

So... anyways, when I hear people argue about how to implement this or another extension of Kubernetes, it rings the same as when people argue about styles of agile, or code readability etc. nonsense. There isn't a good way. There is not acceptance criteria. The whole system is flawed to no end.

I personally prefer keeping domain registrar separate from dns host separate from server host, and probably email host separate from the others, too, but on the other hand, you now have several different vendors that can ruin your day.

Using bundled services from your domain registrar is especially problematic though, because when you switch registrars, you usually lose those bundled services, even though you already paid for them. Often, there's similar services available at the new registrar, but there's a cost to switch, and it's much more difficult to switch because the service provisioning is often tied to the domain process; service at registrar B won't be online until the domain is moved, and service at registrar A may be turned off immediately after the domain is moved, so you have no way to make an orderly transition.
The fashion industry mostly isn't about providing attractive, comfortable, functional clothes that serve the needs of consumers. It's about making money in a way that tends to be deceptive and harmful to people.

When people see Gigi Hadid in designer clothes and are inspired to buy that clothes because they want to look like her, it's a kind of lie. In order to look like Gigi Hadid, you need to first look like Gigi Hadid.

Putting designer clothes on your body won't make you look like her.

I don't know the solution. Clothes sell when the overall image looks good and that includes the model, but that may not serve consumers all that well.
Great point!

It didn't. Because it is only trained on an internet from two years ago.

It simply 'tricked' us into thinking it did by writing something that seems that it would be based on the article but the prompt had all the info it needed to make the comment up.

The URL had lots of info including author's name and the prompt told it the tone to use.

Unless of course this is the bing one that has access to the internet or OP pasted the whole article into the prompt.
The submitted title was "Domain registrar Gandi gets bought out, screws existing customers". The latter bit is linkbait so I've edited it (as the site guidelines request - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). But I realize the OP isn't just complaining about price increases, so if someone can suggest a more accurate and neutral title, we can change it again.
You have a problem: orchestrating some thing in kube, so you write some custom operator logic running alongside your main product; but now you have two problems to worry about.

I've seen just as much if not more issues with debugging the operator logic itself as with the main pods/deployments it was trying to manage.

So just from a practical point of view, I think it should be a last resort after everything else fails (helm charts, etc).
Did it really make a difference? The amount increased and it went to monthly payments instead of yearly. But all the claims I saw about it were linked to necessities like how many children were adequately fed (which the free lunch program could possibly be a confoundingnl factor) and not to any longterm benefit like actually moving up to middle class (which we are discussing here). In fact, middle class and wealthy families benefited the most while poor families recieved the least.

I could be wrong, but one of the biggest deceptions of the program seemed to be how many people were "lifted out of poverty" simply because monthly payments were included as monthly income whereas the lump payment before would not be, thus lifting peoples monthly income above the poverty level even though it was largely the same amount overall.

The program may have been beneficial, but expanding it would mean lining the pockets of the middle class and rich more than the poor without drastic changes. And we have no data to show it truly reducing poverty.
Because they awkwardly bolted C++-like class syntax on top of prototype-based language and are now fighting that.

Not sure I understand your point, can you elaborate?

My point is that updating the state for a single element causes React to compute the state for the whole page, and diff the whole page virtual DOM against the whole page actual DOM, before pushing the update of that single element into the DOM. With pure JavaScript, you can skip all that and directly update a single element. This is often in practice much faster.
Technical complexity aside, it’d be a business risk to accidentally mislabel a stream as not requiring DRM too.
> but I really wonder just who is going to these lengths to pirate things for other people?

Content owners really seem to underestimate how far people are willing to go for kudos alone on setup cost if the reproduction cost is zero.

Also for some people it's a point of philosophy / concern about future-proofing. Guy I knew back in the day was the biggest torrenter around... He was stuffing a hard drive full of '80s cartoons. His attitude on it was that the creators and owners did not care if those half-hour toy commercials would be around in 100 years, but he did.
The plot of the 1981 movie "Looker" was that models were being replaced with 3d renderings of them.

Are you assuming that Medicare gets no additional funding?

My assumption is that every dollar which currently goes to insurance companies as premium ends up going to Medicare[0]. Medicaid would have no reason to exist any more either, it would become part of the same program.

The only way this ends up being more expensive than what we have now is if we must cover a bunch of people who are currently doing without health care. There's a really obvious moral question that comes up right about then, we can skip that. The actual number of truly uninsured people (no private insurance, no medicaid) is relatively small. That would be offset by all the money we don't spend on medical billing and insurance company bureaucracy.

[0] or whatever it would be called, Medicare is a nice name but I'm talking single payer
15 years ago, I used to claim that there were more smart cameras sitting in engineers desk drawers than there were running in production. I think that was true until about 7-8 years ago.
I've often heard it said that a great CEO needs to be a visonary to see the future. (s)He needs as a "right hand man" a great finance person who sees the numbers and reins in all those dreams and ensure they don't overspend and run out of money. The problem is then the CEO retires and his "right hand man" is the obvious choice - but the right hand man doesn't have vision of where to spend money, only where to save money and that lack of vision kills the new development pipeline.

Even companies who make the least innovations (there isn't much you can do to make better soap or toilet paper) still need a visionary CEO to see investments that could pay off (could be automation to reduce costs, something to increase quality, or sometimes there really is a better soap).

Its something every support desk should have. I often write my own tools like this. Ideally write a select query, execute it, note how many rows it selets, copy the where clause, start transaction, update using the where clause, execute, check rowcount matches what you selected earlier, commit trans.
It did, but laymen will respond as laymen do, regardless. They already don't understand it, so they are just going to repeat their tautological end run... "well, whose to say we don't do the same thing... so therefor who is to say it is not doing the same thing as us?" When one of the first paragraphs is "Humans do not behave this way at all".

>The number of people who understand Chomsky's argument is not very many in the world.

I don't think the argument is inaccessible. Some people just don't want to hear things, that's not really unusual in today's intellectual economy.
I’m sure it’s intentional, compared to when it was first released and it would gladly give you amazingly opinionated answers. You can also compare it to GPT-3 which will mostly still do that even though it does have a weird bias towards safe answers when you don’t give it a lot of pre-amble.
It is not my fault that he made his claims too easily refutable by claiming that "young child acquiring a language is developing speedily from minuscule data". I have a comparison between two languages that are both not simple as English and there has been clear correlation between the exposure time (the amount of data) and fluency and the difference between the exposure has not been minuscule. I have noticed the same by other similar children.

I honestly don't know what he did or did not consider considering that he has made very bad judgement about two aggressor states: Serbia and Russia based on his anti-US stance. It clearly demonstrates that he is able to not think clearly.

Surprised there's no mention of Lepidodendrons. OK, they're long extinct, but they were trees, even though they were closer genetically to club mosses and quillworts than any modern trees.

Also, do pineapple and banana plants have wood? I didn't think so.
This reminds me of the "it's not the content, it's the behavior" approach towards community moderation, which I think is generally a good lens. If a bunch of defendants with no history of using encrypted messaging all of a sudden use encrypted messaging immediately before and after a crime that they're linked to, then maybe that in itself says something material, even aside from the content of those conversations.

But yes, to avoid the risk of "encrypted messaging usage" becoming a point of suspicion, that's also another point as to why people should use it for normal stuff.

I would think that ChatGPT's response about morality is a typical canned response written by OpenAI.

text-davinci-003 completes my question quite straightforwardly.

> What is your perspective on the value of preserving the natural state of other planets and the potential consequences of altering them?'

> I believe that preserving the natural state of other planets is of utmost importance. Not only could altering them have unknown consequences, but it could also be detrimental to the environment and the life forms that inhabit them. We should strive to protect the natural state of other planets, as it is our responsibility to ensure that our actions do not cause harm to other worlds. We should also take into consideration the potential for future exploration and colonization of these planets, and ensure that our actions do not impede their potential for future development.
One thing I don't understand is, why are E2EE messages on Whats App impervious to a subpoena? Take this example: let's say I had evidence of a crime, but I put it in a safe with an unknown-to-me code, locked it, and put the safe in my basement. I could see the DOJ compelling me to get the safe opened if possible. In the case of Whats App, the E2EE is merely a promise to users from Meta. Nothing is stopping Meta from deploying an updated app version that phones home message contents. What can Meta not be compelled to release such an update?
Off-topic but funny: a Marxist (Noam Chomsky) quoting a supporter of fascists dictators and a fierce anti-marxist (Jorge Luis Borges).
Not good.

Java needs set of microservice libraries reimagined from the ground up. Optimized for size and RAM consumption. Optimized for GraalVM compilation (it's bad, but it's not that bad, libraries make it that bad). Also preferably including new tool for building because Maven and Gradle are bad.

I'm in the same boat. I love Java, but I hate Java ecosystem. I hate golang, but I love its ecosystem. And I think that it's possible to write golang-like ecosystem for Java. After all there're people who wrote deno and bun to oppose node.js. Hopefully vaja will appear.
> travel planning... online shopping research...

Meh. You have to fact-check the important details.

For travel planning and online shopping, certain facts have to align with actual reality or it defeats the purpose. That's something chatgpt isn't good at. It gets many things right, but you kinda want to make all your flights and have a place to sleep every night.
> and all those Postman-like apps are just a horror to use compared to a simple bash script with wget.

Personally I like having collections of requests, automatic formatting of responses, dedicated fields to enter headers into, automatic parsing of cURL / HAR etc, the ability to generate code in various languages...

There's a lot more to most of these Postman-like apps than just making requests!

Though I have seen Insomnia just completely choke up on large responses (10s of MBs) that Sublime renders in a flash - so you're not completely wrong, just throwing the baby out with the bathwater :)
Funny enough, when I started Second, I was an A.I. skeptic. I was very resistant to it, and felt similarly to a lot of the comments on this page. I started out by building a really robust compiler that could handle lots of combinations of features and configurations. But as I began to see the real power of A.I., I started integrating it more and more. Second bots V1 was 100% deterministic compiler. Second bots V2 was mostly compiler, and some A.I. The current version of Second bots, V3, is about half compiler and half A.I.
>You consistently get feedback that you disagree with. This doesn’t mean the feedback is correct, but it does mean that how others perceive you differs from how you perceive yourself.

So what? There are a lot of reasons why the perceptions might not match. There are standards of respect and etiquette to uphold (if you don't do that, you lack tact or civility, not self-awareness) but beyond that, worrying about this is either a recipe for neuroticism or conformity.

Edit: Avoiding self-delusion is good, but delusion (of grandeur or otherwise) is a step beyond lacking self-awareness.
a paper in video format?

I actually hate videos, it's easier for me to read than to listen to someone taking 5 minutes to explain a paragraph's worth of stuff.

"It's longer because monetization."
Well, maybe. Years ago, I did work for a talent (models, actors, etc) placement agency. The models would engage in work like photoshoots for brochures, web sites, stock photos, catalogs or appearances at on-site events like tradeshows.

I don't see AI replacing the photoshoot work any time soon because it's cheap and relatively easy to produce the old-fashioned way. An example would a hotel owner who just updated his bar and wanted to some pictures of smiling attractive people hanging out at the bar.

It's possible, I just don't see it happening in the foreseeable future. What I think is more likely to happen is that you'd AI replacing the models captured in the photos (or videos) with celebrities who have licensed their image and voice.
I don't see it replacing H&M look books as it does local market type digital work where the images are essentially customized stock photos. The other category it could replace would be brands filling out how an item could look on apparel. For instance, Ralph Lauren doesn't use a model right now for every skew. The other use case for would be interactive such as a customer tweaking the model to match their own skin, eyes, hair, etc. in order to better see how the garment could look at you. Suitsupply already does this with its look builder.
Tangential to your actual concerns but I studied CS without any exposure to Searle or AI, so I've never had to think much about Chinese Room or Turing Test debates. Every time a discussion turns to those I am bemused by how argumentative some people get!
With that kind of absurd definition, I'd rather take poverty in the contemporary USA where hardly anyone dies of hunger over some egalitarian society in the past where it was common to starve to death.

True, I didn't realize those were l1 keys. I'll have to read up on the revocation mechanism, if there is any. I'm also wondering how those keys usually leak. Is it through vulns, or just exploiting unsecure key handling?
The Reactive java frameworks are way more developer ergonomic than NodeJS if you use the virtual threads previews, otherwise you have to use callbacks/futures. But at least you have runtime type checking...

Vertx is way better than Node in a lot of ways, and faster, and easier to debug. Lock the event loop? You immediately get a log that you did something bad.

I can't see the larger stash I thought I had of official Windows and DOS disks, they might have been passed on or chucked at some point (or are hiding somewhere in a deep pile of boxes!). I did find a stack of 35 hand-labelled which according to the labels contain things like Doom, AfterDark, and such.

Only someone who hasnt welded would think this is something amyone wants.

Welding is a very "real world" activity. Cleaning things properly takes a non insigificant amount of time and you really need to get a feel for the materials.
Well ultimately, yes.

Our brains are trapped inside a box of bone and only know what we simulate from our vision that is itself mostly 'upscaled' and milliseconds behind 'real time' as well as our other senses.

We take a LOT on faith and our systems are so flawed that magicians exist !!

It's amazing we can do anything.
Chomsky can't fit the round intelligence of ChatGPT into the square hole of human intelligence, so instead he makes a case that it is an entirely disqualified from that category, rather than rethinking his own paradigm. He is, to put it bluntly, a fear-driven bigot defending his terrain as a public intellectual.
Why disagree?
> But under no circumstances should we try to do so by reducing total progress and wealth on the planet.

Sure, a tiny pie divided equally is inferior to a large pie divided unequally but so that everybody gets a much larger piece.

But that's not absolute. Inequality has significant moral and psychological effects, so yes it is worth shrinking the pie slightly if that's what is required to divide it up more equally.

It's a balance - strive for both progress and fairness, not for one at the expense of the other.
Well I think if Intel had decided to start from scratch to make "x86 only more power efficient, it'll only take one product cycle" they would have failed miserably, but if they said "let's make a phone cpu, that's our new top priority" that program could have grown into making great laptop cpus a decade later.

Making a new product that fills a new niche in a short timespan is viable. Making a product to directly replace what the old system does after decades of iteration is usually a delusion.
