When I want a quick insight to launch me into further inquiry, chatgpt has been so much more useful than regular search with the first 10 hits of AI generated advertisement spam. I use one that provide its source as well, so I can check.

Reddit tends to be a second best bet, and the most upvoted is not always the best, on a busy thread some ‘real’ experts are usually a bit down with lengthy descriptions of their analysis.

Search is third, it’s quick but I do often need to append stackoverflow and reddit to get meaningful answers. I forgo Google completely more and more since the quality is so low, perhaps 2% of my queries go there tops.
almost guaranteed that this problem is already solved by the rocket scientists out there. hopefully someone on HN can point us to the relevant algorithm. this seems like a closed system at least in newtonian physics that should be easily solvable.

chatgpt pointed me to the Gravity Turn altho it refused to give me a formula for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_turn#Deorbit_and_entry
I actually cook every day, but I acknowledge that many people don't have the energy to do that.
There is potentially more to it than that since he also had to leverage his stock for part of the purchase price. There will be interest on that, and since the stock price has been rather volatile, there may be margin calls as well.
In the limit of 100% certainty, is prediction any different from reasoning?
The trick is to have multiple SSH keys -- spread out over several physical devices -- all of which are in your server's authorized_keys.
How do you verify if what ChatGPT returns is actually correct? I'd be scared that it would have hallucinated a new value in its response.

Although hmm, on the other hand, it's also arguable that what we may have have coded would be subject to errors too.
Just imagine how much cheaper their printers and cartridges would be if they didn't waste money on security chips and OTA infrastructure
Children had left-handedness beat out of them - surprising and strange for our time; but then is not now.

And the experience of trans people the nation over is not one any person would want to experience. If a person imagined they wanted the adoration and attention of others for being trans, they sure wouldn't want it for long. The mockery from their peers, their elders, their representatives and the literal State actively seeking to "eradicate" them is a *whole lot of harm* just for media clout.
> I don't ever want to depend on "something I have" that can't be backed up or recovered in any way.

Just put one in each computer and one on your key ring and one in a safe. I have like 7. authorized_keys can have multiple lines in it.

But gotta say, while the site is showing it's age a bit, it has character and Yvette's looks like a fun place.
Are road speed limits based on safety?
No poor people will die from e.g. flying less, downsizing our cars or eating less meat. That is because the really poor (or perhaps half of all humans) don't fly, don't have cars and don't have a cheap meat based diet.
You can pull up their financials from the SEC. They have gotten themselves into quite a pickle. They dusted between 10 and 15 bill on long term bonds. There is a decent chance that will sink them given everyone is pulling their money.
Middle class definition has nothing to do with history. It is sociological term used to describe groups inside human societies. It is about where you are at relative to other people.
Wrong again; you would also notice that it's completely different 8 million years ago.

It's not difficult to distinguish between a population that migrated one hundred years ago and the source population it was drawn from. 8 million years is... longer than that.
> "The highest form of wealth is the ability to wake up every morning and say, 'I can do whatever I want today.'"

Which is something only those wealthy enough to have paid off their house and have sufficient expenses for the rest of their life or passive income. A reality that has nothing to do with whether you feel rich, it's simply an economic reality
Sure, but you can look during. You don't owe them anything. You've earned paternity leave and they haven't earned your tenure beyond it.

> You say it because through years of evolution

This equivocates the sense of "because". When I say "I like ice-cream" I mean that I have an occurrent preference/desire for it. I am capable of desire, and the object of my desire here is "ice-cream".

Why I'm capable of desire has a lot to do with evolution, etc. yes. But that isn't relevant to the meaning of the claim.

> The theory of gravity exists because

No, this is humean nonesense. We are in the world; the world exists; it directly causes us to form beliefs about it. Those beliefs we, in general, arrive at via abduction.

Consider the fact that a child only needs to touch a fireplace once before concluding never to touch it again.

The heat caused an immediate, unambigious, representational state which imparts law-like consistency on the world which governs the child's future behaviour.

We do not live in a statistical inductive nightmare; AI does.
You keep talking about the side of it where you have the opportunity to contest a court order.

The problem is the side of it where you abandon in advance your ability do to that by giving a third party custody of your data and then suffer whatever consequences a lawyer might have advised you to avoid when the third party hands your data over to the government.
I don't really feel like it's trolling given the history of child abuse in the Catholic institution, but I could have definitely been more eloquent with my delivery so point taken.
It’s amazing how a simple algorithm performs so well, the autopilot is able to recover from some pretty extreme situations, and does it gracefully.

Adding some realism to the engine physics (firing delays, minimum firing time, power ramp up, heat limits etc) would likely make it 10x harder.
MOK is short for Machine Owner Key, which is just a way of saying "a key you enroll in your UEFI secure boot variables that is under your control".

Or that's what I thought anyway, if it's not actually doing that, and is just enrolling them in some sort of shim-internal DB, then it's a lot less interesting and I'll abandon that approach...

I don't necessarily want to change the 'root' PK ... or maybe I do if it's the only way to install a machine-owner trusted key in the real UEFI... I'll look at KeyTool in case it makes saving a key under my control to the db easier/actually work. Though the keytool I'm familiar with is a java pkcs#12 manipulation tool!

(on further reading, it looks like shim/mokutil creates a new key-set in nvram, separate to the UEFI stuff, that it manages itself and uses internally. This is not what I was trying to achieve and seems very much like vendor lock. I surely shouldn't need to use shim to boot if I'm signing stuff with my own keys... and it doesn't seem like it has even managed to persist this custom keyset. Back to the drawing board!).
Maybe for you/us as developers. For anyone in a human to human job who's main business is writing text for other people (not just emails), it's already indispensable.

If you were in a saw-style escape room with chatgpt and you needed to construct 1 kg nitroglycerin from a large sample of various chemicals in order to get out.

1. Could you ask chatgpt (jailbroken ofc because "danger") whether it could safely describe how to do this and trust the reply?

2. Would you then trust chatgpt to "superhumanely" explain how to do this?
Some people don't have a home office, or even a basic desk + chair setup that's suitable for long hours of computer work.

A colleague of mine prefers going to the office because at home he's constantly distracted by kids.

Another has literally injured himself due working from his kitchen in a bad position for a year. It's worse than RSI. He had to rehabilitate for half a year just to get back to 95% health, and even now whenever he concentrates for too long the pain comes back.

One might say, "well they should arrange a suitable setup then". Not everyone has a home that's large enough. Besides, my experience is that most people don't have the discipline or will to do this properly, and as an employer you have to more or less force this upon employees (not even "recommend" is good enough).

In the Netherlands, if employees — even office employees — injure themselves, then the employer is obliged to take care of them for max 2 years, even if the injury was not directly caused by the employer.
If you are successful enough of business owner, you become upper class.
I never understood why people think time spent travelling is "lost".
> Not true, you can use any IDE you want. Of course IntelliJ is the "blessed" IDE, but really, Kotlin is just a bunch of libs, any IDE will work.

No I can't, because InteliJ is the only one that actually supports Kotlin.

Otherwise I would just be using Notepad++.

> I don't see why this would matter. Any non-trivial build is going to use a bunch of plugins.

It shows you don't work as build engineer.

> I don't know what you mean. The stack traces are from bytecode, which Kotlin compiles to just like Java. The stacks are identical...

Try to debug a Kotlin stacktrace with free functions and co-routines, and then try to tell the world it looks like what the Java compiler would generate.

> You probably already use Kotlin and don't even know it. The popular okHttp library from Square is Kotlin - but you'd never know that if you just used it in your Java project.

No I don't, because at my level libraries are validated and only internal repos are allowed in the CI/CD pipeline.

Also I no longer do native Android for work, other than mobile Web.
Uber - are you kidding? Their shortest route algorithms are extremely CPU-intensive.
Alex’s posts on web performance are always on point and it’s a real shame that there are so few people talking about both the ethical crisis and climate impact of slow software.

I live in New Zealand where we had a remarkably successful fibre internet rollout, and there’s a definite blind spot for web users who don’t have access to such high quality infrastructure. It can be difficult to get buy in for getting performance work done and I think articles like this one are useful.

For people interestee in climate, there’s a great bit about the CO2 savings from the optimizations introduced in PHP 7 [1]. Small energy savings multiplied across many computers is impactful.

> If you work at Dreamhost and want to keep us as custommers instead of kicking us like that, please ask the support service in charge of ticket 225948648 to send the recovery URL to the secondary email adddress

What's the point of having a secondary email address if not for account recovery? Am curious as to what Dreamhost's thought process is here
It removes 4.5lbs(about 2kg) of CO2 from the air for every 20k miles driven.
I don't know whether the monad library is nice but caching compiles code is something they are making great progress on. Veraion 1.9 seems able to store most compiled code on disk.
Because you don't have a decentralized network anymore if one server has 2B users while the second largest has 200k.

Also moderation as the sibling comment mentioned.
Here's a very unbaked thought, sparked by your question: a huge amount of organisms of varying sizes can parse and react to visual representation, but the amount of organisms that can handle any kind of language is much smaller.
They're not the same.

The TPM chip is really just another little computer your main computer talks to over a special network; it has no access to the rest of your computer hardware, so when you type your pin or passphrase in, your computer needs to put it in memory and send it to your TPM chip over this special network cleartext.

The touchid interface is part of the secure enclave packaging, so the activation command (fingerprint, nearby hotdog, whatever you've trained the sensor with) isn't ever in memory.

This difference makes attacking keys stored in the secure enclave a lot harder than attacking keys stored in TPM, because with TPM, you have this second thing to attack (the cleartext channel) but with secure enclave you don't.

If you want to do this on Linux, you can get bluetooth fido2 apps for your phone which work pretty well, but bluetooth is very complicated and Linux doesn't have good support for pre-login bluetooth setup afaik, so (re)provisioning can be tricky. I like these little USB-attached smart-card readers with integrated PIN-pads (either on the reader or on the card itself) because USB seems a little bit more reliable, but you may need one that also supports bluetooth or NFC in order to use your token (easily) with mobile devices if you like to login from your phone sometimes.
Wow this is industrial strength cringe, like straight out of an episode of Silicon Valley. As a xoogler I knew about the meme and somewhat his rep, but can’t believe nobody showed this to me. Thanks! (I guess)
Not just that. Language acquisition. Teacher never stands in front of class and says "here's what the rules of grammar aren't. You today learn want do not how." There is a paucity of negative examples in the "training". Same goes for so many other tasks we learn quicker than can be explained with a Hebbian punishment/reward model. Most people can play a board game somewhat competently after just being told the rules. Some are even good at it. You don't need to crash your car dozens of time to figure out how to drive. All over we see something fundamental missing, and the industry is trying to hammer the screw into the wall while pretending that's the best way to do it.
As the other poster mentioned, without secure boot, there are no guarantees about a kernel or initramfs that are sitting out there in plaintext (and yes, someone could mess with my grub install).

It was mostly because "this should be possible, right?"

So yeah - Encrypt all the things :)
> they clearly think it is worth it.

That is like arguing that "clearly people think fax is secure, otherwise they wouldn't use it". No, it is obviously theater but other people insist you use it and while useless the effort to change it is "not worth it".
Yes most are and the ones that aren't will be in a few years after they "mature".

Companies like this have no ideas of their own and are just chasing where they think the money is. Marketing is used as a substitute for design and engineering. They fail to realize that customers rarely have new ideas, customers only want what they have seen elsewhere. So the company always chasing the next idea instead of having the next idea.

The final state if horribleness is when company starts talking culture and making it more important than competency. This is where they have drunk the marketing Kool aid so completely they believe the lies they're shoveling out the door. Since they've failed at capturing enough market share with their failures at innovation they begin to destroy themselves by ousting those passionate noisy people who've remained through this non-sense pointing out the failures because "bad/toxic culture" must be the problem. They don't realize that their top people didn't shift to being complainers overnight it's not those people that changed it's rudderless management that has be put in place.

My advice is treat these companies the way they treat their customers. Extract what pay and resume enhancements you can and move on.
Why is having an API relevant to it being a product? Twitter was and is a product without one. Google search is a product. Almost everything at Target or the grocery store is a product, and bananas don't have APIs. How many products are just a webterface? Discord, Slack, Amazon (not AWS)...

Because it is? It's time you can't spend on your hobbies. Of course, if repeatedly driving the same route every day is one of those, then go ahead.
I think it's both things. Netflix, and other platforms, don't send lossless streams to you. Even at 4k. Plus, you are re-encoding it.
Its like doing a VHS copy from another VHS, or creating a new JPEG image from another. Always there is a loss of quality.
> It’s not. It’s enough to deter casual piracy. There is some value in that.

Is it? Anyone is able to use obs studio these days, you know, to be an influencer. It is all I needed to "backup" offline versions of some shows for my kids before we would take a plane. I am pretty sure I could have torrented them out as well.
Why is this so surprising? Almost all animals can process images, while only humans and arguably a few more can process language. Language is clearly much more complex from a processing point of view, even if it takes less memory when stored.

(I know image generation models also use language, but to a much simpler extent, at least for now).
20-25 years ago ink generated the majority of their profits. They know what they are doing.

These days they have fewer enterprise costumers so they need to be more careful on how they introduce it.
Media is expensive to scale, so use text is better strategy
Just because over 10 million Americans believe that Tom Hanks violates, kills, and eats children - a widely held belief - does not mean that a private company can't tell those people to go suck a bug.

A private company does moderation and it's the end of the world. Ron DeSantis bans books and he is just "anti-woke". The actual government.
You're referencing the economic output of the interstate, but there's roughly the same studies with the same conclusions made about the train system.

The folks I was responding to were discussing the direct economics of maintaining and operating the trains, and not their economic benefits. No one pays money to use the interstate, why should they need to pay money to use the train?
it's even more foundamental than that, the brain is constantly learning and retaining new knowledge and solve problems with a mix of old knowledge and knowledge learned in the context of the problem, either by experimentation or research

these net can replicate at most the first step for now, even tuning by reingofrcement learning is more of a set up batch than an ongoing thing, and certainly not something they will be able to do in the context of a single problem but as part of a retraining

agi is still a fair bit away, I'm unsure if these super large architecture will ever get to replicate the second part of our brain, the flexibility while on the job, because of their intrinsic training mechanism.
Of course, but the thing that stands out about MS right now is the company’s willingness to ship, instead of locking things away and begrudgingly releasing teasers of the tech (like Google).

It’s refreshing to me that a behemoth like MS is adopting a startup-like approach to AI
The part which isn't falsifiable (as far as I can see) is whether the model actually has opinions at all as opposed to producing outputs that match or simulate an opinion. That's partly the point of the Chinese room idea - that you can't prove just by looking at the output one way or the other.

The things they did to restrict the model don't demonstrate that it would otherwise actually have an opinion though. They just mean that it's being (arguably artificially) prevented from generating certain texts that appear to endorse a certain point of view.

A similar example which demonstrates my point while perhaps being a little more clear cut is the Amazon recruiting AI that got shut down because it was unintentionally amplifying bias present in its training set.[1] I don't think we can assume from that that the model actually had opinions which were misogynistic even though it was producing results which were.

Yes, back in 2004 DHH created Rails on an 800Mhz PPC iBook with 256Mb RAM and launched Basecamp for the first year on a server with the same amount of RAM. A bargain basement VPS comes with 4 times the RAM these days.
> You could argue that’s a leadership problem as well, of course, but my response would be that if you’re the only one who understands a system, you are a leader, and leaders have a responsibility even if they aren’t managers by title.

Hear, hear! Anyone who has on-boarded to some legacy system has probably experienced this from one end or the other. The trouble seems to be in getting the heroes, as it were, to recognize that they have a responsibility to properly on-board and train, while simultaneously getting their managers to give them the space to do this work and properly prioritizing it (while also helping to keep the fires at bay... Easily 50% of the on-boarding challenges I have faced in my career were because the person who was responsible for on-boarding me was constantly fire-fighting by themselves).
> You could be making $10M a year, but if you feel like you need to make $20M, then you will feel poorer than someone making $100,000 who only feels like they need to make $50,000.

Yeah, but there is still very material difference between these two people. The difference is not just the feeling in the moment. It is difference in "if I get sick, how much healthcare I can pay" or "if I get into legal trouble, can I afford justice or layer" ... and either of those situations will change their feelings quickly.
It's a pity that they have one column of keys right to the Enter and Delete keys. I need empty space there because it's an anchor point for me. I tend to hit the key right to the Enter key whenever I want to hit the Enter key. My wife's laptop has this layout and it drives me crazy.

I already mailed them and I hope they can consider this.
Seems silly to set aside ram to use when your ram runs out. What am I missing here?
To put it another way, Deja put Usenet out of a coma, and Google finally pulled the plug.
Repeat after me:

ZRAM is not swap.

ZRAM uses the same OS interface as swap does, and that interface is called "swap" but really is more about composing system memory out of tiered backing memory. One of those tiers can be swap.

With ZRAM and no swap, all your system memory is volatile. As long as Linux requires nonvolatile system memory to hibernate, it will be impossible to hibernate in this setup.
I like the work/home divide. I like the in person interactions. I like being able to walk and meet with other departments and dig into what really needs doing. Pairing is easier and the work I do feels more effective. I do appreciate flexibility in my role and being able to work wherever I want whenever I want. But for 70-80% of the time, I prefer the office and considering the full office, Im not alone.

I feel that software engineering isn’t a one size fits all and its up to you to chase the work environment you enjoy the most.
I think it's a critical difference that the Apple enclave has direct access to inputs (the touchid).

so what do you call 3 hours a day when you're forced to sit/stand in a carriage? sure, I can find activities to occupy myself, read a book, listen to podcast, etc, but this is not by choice. I'd rather go for a run. So if I cannot do what I want during the time, then the time for me is lost. And don't even get started on "learning new skills" while on a train. Studying requires concentration, at least for me, so no, I cannot learn new language while standing under someones armpit.
