Depending on the book you could use that to extract all excerpts where the character appears.

Then each excerpt could be fed to the LLM asking it how this part relates to the question you’d want an answer to.

Then ask for each what it shows about the character and it’s personality, weaknesses, etc.

And finally recursively summarise them, asking for the summary to show how the character has grown through the summarised content.

Basically ending up with a map-reduce.

Bigger sources, or lots of content related to the character, would lead to less accuracy, and increase the likelihood of hitting the window’s limit.

It would also be highly specific and quite brittle, although one could probably turn it into a more generic process / pipeline (ie what dust.tt enables).

I might have completely missed your point or overlooked some glaring flaw though, in which case please do let me know what you think.

The XML thing is still supported by the language, even if you need to install a separate first-party package to make use of it, so it is not an out-of-date talking point. There are other issues, such as the undebuggable macro system that has too much power, the insanely overloaded `implicit` keyword (fixed in Scala 3), or the two competing syntaxes introduced by Scala 3.
Welding helmets are bulky, VR headsets are similar. Lets parts in a helmet but the helmet needs to protect your face and neck from sunburn and potentially bits of metal (depending on your position).

And any processing bulk could be belt worn or even sitting on the ground connected by a cable: you're already tethered to the welder and buffer gas tank after all!
Since my top-comment is #1 and it's a bad example, I'll give a positive example here.

In this company I joined I worked really hard. It was very exciting work, an innovative startup, pretty good pay (for my locale), great coworkers and manager. I still worked around ~8h/day, but those were VERY intense 8-hours and after few weeks it was clear that our office/team was shipping A LOT faster than other teams in HQ. It was a really nice combination IMHO:

- Our manager was amazing at getting the work requests and converting them into technical tasks/projects, while shielding us of the BS that was literally raining from HQ. No one lasted too long when he eventually left, and they even closed the office a bit after.

- Because of the timezone difference, we had meetings for 1-2h in the morning and then calm for the rest of the day to execute on those tasks. Our manager had more, but that was a really good balance for IC.

- While we had different levels of seniority (and all hired as the same "mid-level"), we worked well together and all were reasonably knowledgeable, no one needed handholding.

So yeah, after few months/1 year we got some major projects finished. One of which I made the major technical part, for which I struggled and fought like never before, and successfully delivered it. Our CEO used this project even for presentations to our investors and clients (was supposed to be an internal tool). So my manager got me from mid-level ("Software Engineer") to Staff Engineer, a whole 2-level bump and 40%-50% salary increase approx.

So sometimes working hard does pay off :)

Sorry for my bad explanation/coming off as that, since it's definitely the opposite. I actually left the company because of the stress of wanting to help and not being able to help. Going everyday seeing how the project was going into the ground and being told I couldn't help and to just sit there destroyed my soul.

Tell HN: A government ID card is required to use ChatGPT in Germany
ChatGPT says "Please note that phone verification is required for signup.".

It's not possible to get a phone number without a government ID in Germany:

* There is a law which requires ID verification to buy SIM cards.

* For landline contracts, you need a bank account. Bank accounts also legally require ID verification.

It would be nice if developers of web services which require phone verification keep this on their mind and offer alternative options:

It's a legitimate privacy concern to not want every daily internet usage tied to your official personal ID.

This applies even more with conversational services such as ChatGPT which will possibly leak those private conversations into their training data and thus have them float around the Internet for an unpredictable eternity.

So Go has a two things that enable massive concurrency.

1. Coroutines have dynamic stacks, meaning that you can start a lot of threads without exhausting your memory:
https://medium.com/a-journey-with-go/go-how-does-the-gorouti...

2. Go has a lightweight threading model that doesn't map one thread to one OS/kernel level thread. Enabling you to have thousands of threads operating at once. limited by GOMAXPROCS.

I was just wondering because the article mentioned Zig having a lot of the benefits of Rust and Go, and this is one thing where Rust doesn't shine, so I was wondering if they had an answer for this.
Nah, ChatGPT is especially good at making these spurious analogies.

Because working with "legacy" institutions is anywhere from a monumental pain in the ass to literally impossible depending on your business.

AML/KYC/etc. has utterly destroyed the ability to do anything that isn't "industry standard" and super boring. Do anything whatsoever just a tiny bit interesting and you will find your banking access cut off or severely restricted.

After dealing with that mess, I can absolutely see why founders avoid it. They are there to build a business, not dick around with compliance officers all day.

The problem is that people overdo the transitions when they add them (i.e. make them too long).

This "overdoing" always happends when something new is introduced.

When Windows became able to use multiple fonts in the 90'ies, people used as many fonts as possible on a single sheet of paper. It looked really bad. Over time we got back to use 1 or 2 fonts on a page.

I don’t think an EULA will stop bots, spam and scams.

And without commercial buy in, I can’t see why anyone apart from computer geeks and scammers would want to use it. The first question your average users would ask is “why isn’t $SHOP on there”.

Much as I dislike the modern web, it’s what the people have chosen in exchange for free services (like email) and convenience (like online shopping).
Why would that be sarcasm and what’s to debate?

Who actually committed a crime? The person that forgot to lock the door, the person that illegally entered and stole stuff, or the person who sold the known to be stolen goods?
Especially nondeterminism. Everything you say is still deterministic, so either you're able to land or you're not. With nondeterminism it's more interesting. You have to make tradeoffs between optimizing resources and making success probable.
It is likely with low confidence that the source you were most certainly replying to is referring to the front of shaping "Public Opinion" in which intelligence agencies highly likely with low confidence took part in [0] and with still many reports with low confidence most likely still are.

It is certainly interesting to learn about the Anglo-American intelligence jargon, however without detailed historical/geopolitical/technical/operational context it is nearly impossible to adequately weigh their content. The article even goes into the intricacies of communication (the assessment itself taking influence on the situation) but does not mention one of the main operational goals of publicly communicated intelligence: managing the narrative.

I worked at a company for about four years with the payments processing in that time ranging from $300M to $3B.

The rate is the area to give the least concern to, but novices in the field always get hyper focused on.

Approval ratios, chargeback mitigation and other possible services are the bottom line real earners.

Today one of them could be break even but with 20000 customers could introduce a service that makes them incredibly profitable.

It is a bit of a jump, but Apples accessories department is currently accounting for 20% of Apples entire earnings. Not even the core product.

Payments example for either being discussed is they could just introduce the same services Ethoca was offering MasterCard acquired and they'd add on another $20-40M in EBITDA.
The fact that the UK is resorting to this instead of massively ramping up tidal power is crazy. We're one of the most tidally active areas of the world, and yet we only get 2% of our power from tidal, with seemingly no appetite to increase it.

Somehow missed the link at first, just read it now. That’s a good factual summary. And yes my “fan fiction” would have been better suited against many other articles. Mostly the title “how to make sense of X” reminded me of the actual CNN headlines on the format “how to think about X”.

But, and this is somewhat speculative, I do find the timing of releasing these barrages of articles with the general sentiment of “intel is less trustworthy than you think” only now, at a time when recent data marks a stark narrative rift. Yes it’s low confidence (in the lab leak case) but that can be summarized in a sentence and then we can talk about the implications of that possibly a man made pathogen leaked and killed millions? There’s perhaps no room for that after all technicalities are covered?

OTOH, if one should assume the best possible intent, I’m sure there are a lot of people who truly missed the point and think eg the lab leak is proven true. Even so, I find it strange that media so eagerly volunteers as educators.
>Yes, but it still is a part of the standard library and how the standard library does things - a convention. Same as in C, as malloc is just a function.

Yes, but it doesn't argue that it's not the same in C. Just that it's not the same as languages who do the memory allocation themselves.

>You could create a replacement library for C stdlib and it could also expect an allocator in the parameters if a given function could allocate.

You could do anyting in C, even write Zig in it. And vice versa, you co do malloc in Zig. But allocators are how Zig is designed/used, whereas C opts for malloc.
Maybe they didn’t offer buyouts to the ones that they want to keep around.

Salesforce Authenticator has nice idea with custom push-based protocol, but it's not running on dedicated hardware.

That article seems to indicate that no customer data was involved... looks like their send-only email key was compromised.

Maybe I'm not paranoid enough, but I think there would be too much noise if every company blasted out emails to all customers any time there was ANY security failure, including failures that do not expose customer data... Sure, they should follow up on your who got phishing emails, but I don't see a need to email every customer.

I've had no issues with NameCheap, but I just register domains, no other fancy services.
This seems like almost the perfect keyboard.

Although it feels a little wasteful to always be using 4W on a keyboard. But it looks so !much better than any RGB setup I've seen, and it's got so much potential on things like a Raspberry Pi, it could be the terminal display and keyboard in one!

Yes, you can define "having an opinion" to be something that only humans can do. Then you have to use a different term when talking about language models. In that case, asking whether the models have opinions is pointless because you defined it as impossible. Thus, when people use "opinion" in such a discussion, it must be assumed to mean something that a language model could have. The question being discussed then is whether this particular language model does.

I think this distinction is neither useful nor interesting.
Doesn't that really only apply to mass production, a LOT of welding is one-off (or few-off) work used to connect parts (which may have been mass produced).

If you mean to actually weld one off parts-- is the sensing technology in place to accomplish that? The speed and feed you go at depends on the ambient conditions and part geometry. Even if so, you have the problem that much welding is and must be done in-situ because the assembly is not transportable. In some cases you could bring in a robot arm, but even where you can that seems like lot of effort vs just sending a welder in.
Canon had this thing where they require toners that have rfid drm but due to the chip shortages they couldn’t get the tags. So they had to provide workarounds for ignoring the drm on the boxes.
One thing I noticed is that political thinking tends to come in waves. Not just for countries individually, but globally. Sure, there are plenty of exceptions, but each age seems to have its own zeitgeist in the world's collective consciousness.

Currently, for example, there is Wokeism in general, with particular emphasis on transgenderism. Transgenderism only "affects" a very small percentage of the population, nobody paid it any mind a decade ago, and yet today it's a thing.

Nice auto pilot! Very basic, but works well enough.

In the real world, you would derive physics equations (acceleration -> velocity -> position), add constraints and then solve everything to obtain an optimal trajectory (mostly in term of fuel, but you can add other constraints too, for ex due to radar-ground or Antenna-Earth visibility). I wrote a blog post about Apollo's algorithm: https://blog.nodraak.fr/2020/12/aerospace-sim-2-guidance-law... (Described in the second section ; the first section is about a naive algorithm similar to yours that in the end did not work as well as I wanted).

Also, thanks for the code, I wanted to do the same, but lost motivation when I could not really expose in a satisfying way the internal state out of these JS modules (it's not complicated in the end, but I'm simply not a frontend dev ; and I wanted to avoid forking and monkey patching everything and simply adding some JS code throught the console or something).

How the GDB debugger and other tools determine the active function calls
I have tried to love the 3rd party maps, but I always go back to Google because of traffic updates. Nothing else comes even remotely close and when you need to get somewhere on time, it's just too crucial.
Refunds can be stymied, much harder with fines (the party on the other side carries a much larger stick).

But fine (pun intended), let's do both. Seriously, this sort of stuff should be discouraged in the strongest possible way.
> How would they differentiate an EU government stealing the money from a customer who just didn't pay and say they did?

Because they would have been notified by a court beforehand and the fine would constitute an outstanding debt linked to a lost lawsuit.

Once that happens, the national collection agencies would take over and use the tools at their disposal, like collecting from customers directly, which is the equivalent of garnishing wages but for companies.

They would then receive regular updates about the remaining debt and what was already paid and by whom.

> Feel free to call up your credit card or power company and ask them what happens if you send them a payment but it gets seized by the government along the way. Their answer will be that you still owe them money.

If Google then refused service to the customers who's payments were redirected to that country's collection agencies, then additional punitive measure would be taken by the country.

Some of the punitive measure could be:

- growing interests on the outstanding debt

- blocking the service within the country or EU

- advertise that Google is delinquent and is refusing to pay it's debt to financial institutions

- prevent banks and financial institutions from loaning money or investing in Google

- configure an embargo for imports and exports towards Google

- extradition requests for C-suite or adding them to Interpol and Europol wanted people list

- etc.

> In your example the EU customers would be out the money, not Google. With no EU nexus (in your hypothetical) they cannot compel Google to provide services they were not paid for.

They can't force Google to provide services but Google will also lose that market (for the EU that's 450M people) and increasing punitive measures.

Also, Google refusing to pay would probably discourage financial institutions anywhere from servicing Google in the future and other countries from authorising Google on it's national market.
Thanks! This is a great question.

The core difference is, in Learniverse we empower users to curate their own learning pathways. The idea is that, creating a learning pathway can provide clear goals, personalized and structured learning, measurable progress, and foster a lifelong learning mindset.

While on Udemy/Coursera, users take courses with pre-defined, one-size-fits-all curriculums.

At a later stage with more users, Learniverse will be more like other MOOC platforms given more learning pathway being curated. But the core difference remains - users will have the capability to modify their learning pathways, adding content by themselves, including composable learning materials/steps from other pathways.

We are also working on an algorithm that generate learning pathways given users' learning goals. In this way, provide a better starting point for user to curate their pathways.
Go back, and offer to bring them coffee and run errands. Offer to do something techy for them, then study like crazy.

That's how I landed my first job as a programmer. Took 6 months but I was cutting VB code to automate some things in the office.

But really. I wouldn't worry about AI taking your job just yet. Writing code was never really the hard part of programming. It's translating the vision to code. It's seeing the edge cases. AI's a long way away from learning that.

"The rest by design is to be lent out,"

It isn't. That's a myth. It never has been how banks work and never will be.

Destructive runs can never happen in a modern banking system if the central bank does their job properly.

If everybody takes their money out of a bank in trouble, then the central bank ends up as the main depositor in that bank.

Which is as it should be - since they were regulating that bank.

The question here is whether the regulator has been asleep at the wheel and whether depositors over the FDIC limit are going to pay for that.
The secret part is: they (yale guys) still bag big money regardless.
async & tokio can be a problem. Rust is much nicer to work with without them.

My take... I can see their use, but they should be confined to the outer layers of the onion.

Core components need not (should not) be written in this style.

async is just a function returning a promise.

Its convenience at the front end of the application shouldn't be allowed to cause distress at the lower levels.

What a strange question. Yes, of course I understand that. But the two, even though they are 'very different things' are also intricately related in that if the one doesn't work neither does the other.
