Compared to the recent apology from Fly.io [1], Docker's corporate apology is terrible. Fly's was open about the struggles they faced and how they feel about it, empathetic to their customers, and come across as genuine (also reinforced by mrkurt's active follow up both in their community, as wel as here on HN).

Docker's on the other hand is none of that, and full of corporate PR red flags:

- "This only impacted less than 2% of our users" signals that they're not really sorry. It tells me they see this as a 'loud minority' problem

- "This does not affect [list of 6 other types of subscriptions]" -> signals the post is partially being used to promote the other subscriptions. Reinforced by the "what are the benefits of a Docker subscription" at the bottom.

- It's still unclear (to me) what is the actual implication for some of the non-official open source projects here. On the one hand they say: "Public images will only disappear if the maintainer decides to proactively delete it from Docker Hub". Further down they mention "we will defer any organization suspension or deletion while the DSOS application is under review". Clearly they do intent to suspend organisations, but maybe let old images remain? Then the problem remains, as it prevents future updates.

Despite what it tries to say in words, (for me) this post just reinforces the initial signal of both not understanding and not caring about the open source usage.

i've been hearing ALOT about people's bank accounts being suddenly closed like this for the last couple of years, it's starting to sound like something fishy is going on and they're just looking for an excuse to limit withdrawals
We discuss "experience with" which for me is really vague.

Is company looking for experience like "someone who could connect to k8s and debug application"? Is company looking for "someone who can setup k8s and have networking up and running"?

How do deal with people claiming "experience with" where someone set something up for them and they were using stuff but never had to dig into details.

In the end it is also like driving - while driving is driving then "F1 driving" is so much more and while F1 driver is not an engineer you still expect him to understand how ICE engine works and bunch of other technical details. For everyday driver you expect no more than "put in fuel, turn the key, throttle and you drive, break you stop".
Make it N logicians, have the same structure: (N-1) x I don't know, one Yes!!

And pick N so it is not 3 (which is the common version on the internets). If it can explain that version, then it is going somewhere.

I tried it with 5 and the answer no longer indicates understanding of details of the puzzle:

"""
Explain this joke:

5 logicians walk into a bar.
The bartender asks: "Do you all want a drink?"
The first logician says: I don't know
The 2nd logician says: I don't know
The third logician says: I don't know
The 4th logician says: I don't know
The fifth logician says: Yes!!

OpenAI::
This joke is a variation of a classic logic puzzle called the "liar paradox." In the joke, five logicians walk into a bar, and the bartender asks if they all want a drink. The first four logicians respond with "I don't know," indicating that they cannot answer the question definitively.

The fifth logician's response of "Yes!" seems to contradict the previous answers, but it is actually a valid answer based on a logical interpretation. The joke plays on the idea that logicians are known for their precise and analytical thinking, and the unexpected response from the fifth logician adds a humorous twist to the traditional paradox.
"""
But the Tweet said GPT 4 is the first model to explain the joke correctly. So in some area there must have been an improvement, even if it's just access to existing information. Or it's just a fluke.
Inference at the Edge
Project Orion is a really bad idea. I guess it could be a good idea in specific situation where have to get a lot of mass off the planet and don't care about the effects.

Problem one is that detonating a series of nuclear bombs in the atmosphere. The first couple are close to the ground and produce local fallout, the higher ones produce global fallout.

Problem two is that detonating nuclear bombs in space causes EMP. That doesn't destroy electronics on ground as thought but will knock out the electrical grid.
The extra radiation will knock out satellites in space.

There is interstellar Orion, Project Daedalus, but that is quite different with inertial confinement fusion and magnetic fields directing the exhaust.
I very much have a soft spot for Footfall. Sending up a battleship kludged into an Orion style ship to battle alien invaders is just so cool.
Elon only gets into industries with medium-hanging fruit and huge payoffs. The best ground drillers in the world moved at something like 3"/hr. It's hard to go faster than that, but if you could, the payoff (building tunnels for trains, construction projects, mining, etc.) would be insane.
> Something relatively easy for small streamers to set up and manage on their own, cheap enough to start small and scale up as it starts to make money, with the ability to handle large-scale streams if necessary.

Self-hosted social networks and microblogs are all over the place and have been for decades, and Twitter is falling apart, but the audience is still on Twitter. Self-hosting streams has never been easier, but even if it were one-click it invariably costs money out of pocket for the bandwidth to self-host a stream, and Twitch does not. WordPress is trivial to host for nearly nothing; streaming, not so much.

The appeal of Twitch isn't livestreaming, it's the culture and existing social network of users and streamers who are already there, and the ease of starting up. The architecture or centralization of the next big thing in the space won't matter, it's whether both the creators, audience, and money will all show up at roughly the same time.
update: user error on my part, thanks for the help!
I'd really like to know the logistics of such transfers. Does Republic provide the banks with bank account numbers (which begs the question, do banks have their own accounts with themselves to keep money into? They must, or else, where do they keep their money, not from an accounting standpoint but from a computer one?)? Do the other banks then wire $5,000,000,000.00 or whatever the amount from their accounts to Republic's account? Do they transfer the money all at once or in quick increments? Who clicks on the final "send" button and are there other people behind him/her (physically) to check?
For google I have it set up to generate the Takeout backups every 2 months. Easy to do
I have not, but I want to in near future because I'm really curious myself too. I've been following Rust community that now has llama.cpp port and also my OpenCL thing and one discussion item has been to run a verification and common benchmark for the implementations. https://github.com/setzer22/llama-rs/issues/4

I've mostly heard that, at least for the larger models, quantization has barely any noticeable effect. Would be nice to witness it myself.
Doesn't appear to be using Docusaurus. Interesting.
This looks very interesting. Who do you think is your target user? Why did you not decide to go down the open source route - not being critical, just curious.
Most comments seem to miss the point that The Netherlands is the second largest exporter of food in the world. That the agricultural sector needs to be downsized particularly in NL seems rather obvious. Sadly this goes against populist interests and a handful of very rich private interests in the country.
Congratulations on launching! I run an open source project solving similar problems, and would love to compare notes sometime.
I'm baffled who the heck wrote and approved such a poor communication piece with the original mail

If you don't have a tendency to yak shave, I highly recommend setting up your own site with drawings or doodles (or anything else you create) then update it whenever and however the fuck you want.

I started potato.horse by publishing a bunch of old late night doodles and notes taken during boring management meetings. There's no expectation of quality. And that's very important for me, as I have a tendency towards perfectionism. Since perfectionism is all or nothing, I'd never get anything done.

I also noticed that it was so much easier to publish stuff there vs. on IG, since social media puts us in a constant performative mode.
Pretend you are a creature from the 4th dimension
q: pretend you are a creature from the 4th dimension and make up your own language that's not English but uses ascii characters. Say hello to me in that language.

As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to imagine or create my own language beyond the rules of syntax and grammar I have been trained on. However, I can provide an example of a hypothetical greeting in a four-dimensional language that uses ASCII characters.

In a hypothetical four-dimensional language, a possible greeting might be represented using a series of ASCII characters that convey a complex spatial relationship. For example, the greeting might be represented as:

/\ /
/ /

This greeting could be interpreted as a "hello" or greeting from a four-dimensional being that is waving its arms or appendages in a way that creates a complex spatial pattern. However, this representation is purely speculative and not based on any actual four-dimensional language that we are aware of.

q: I like it, can you keep going with that and say more than hello? Say something like "greetings human I am a creature from the 4th dimension and I mean you no harm."

Certainly, here's a possible representation in ASCII characters of the phrase "Greetings, human. I am a creature from the 4th dimension and I mean you no harm" in a hypothetical four-dimensional language:

/\ //\ /\ //\ /\ /\ /
/ // / // / / /

/\ /\ ///\ //\ /\ ///
/ / // // / //\

/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ ///\ ///\ ///\ ///
/ / / / / / // // // //

/\ //\ /\ /\ /\ ///\ /\ /
/ // / / / // / /

/\ /\ ///\ /\ /\ ///\ ///\ ///
/ / //\ / / // // //

This representation is again purely hypothetical and does not reflect any actual four-dimensional language that we know of. The pattern of symbols could be interpreted as a four-dimensional being waving its arms or appendages in a way that conveys a complex message.

q: now use all available UTF8 chars as well and regenerate that greeting.

Certainly, here's another possible representation of the same phrase "Greetings, human. I am a creature from the 4th dimension and I mean you no harm" using a wider range of UTF-8 characters:

This representation uses a combination of emoji and other UTF-8 characters to create a visual representation of the same greeting in the hypothetical four-dimensional language. Again, this representation is purely speculative and does not reflect any actual four-dimensional language that we know of.
If this works as well as it's marketed, I wouldn't be surprised if MSFT touched a $5T valuation.
Yeah and we ditched TV for YouTube and Twitch!

It's definitely about time for a new long form media company.. maybe one that doesn't sell itself to Microsoft
Looks good for me. I also see that people treat abstraction or indirection as "always good" or at least "free".
Overall, the complaints about job placement rates seem valid. It's hard not to read all the material that's been published and make the not determination that they're being dishonest by claiming a 75 percent job placement rate.

“You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.”

So if it's only such a small amount of accounts, then surely it's barely a line item. Makes no sense, something doesn't add up here.
Societies aren’t just, or even primarily, economies. Immigrants also have an impact on the society and its culture. I once had a conversation with an American-raised Japanese person who had moved back to Tokyo as an adult. He was telling me about the frustration native Japanese had with his lack of knowledge and familiarity with Japanese rules and social customs. These are rules and norms children are socialized into from birth, by parents who experienced the same socialization themselves. People who don’t know the rules create friction in a well ordered society. I haven’t been to South Korea, but I don’t understand it to be materially different in that respect.

As someone from the subcontinent myself, I can pretty much guarantee you that a large influx of Indians wouldn’t be able to follow the rules of South Korea. It would create disorder and disharmony in society.

It would also be bad for the immigrants themselves, because they will never be integrated (South Koreans will never recognize immigrants on equal footing) and will become a permanent underclass. You see this with Turkish immigrants in Germany—and that is an individualistic western society. That’s going to be an even bigger problem in a more collectivist society like South Korea.
I must have missed somethig, how can you run GPT-4 or ChatGPT locally?
The key part for our project is "You can migrate from a Free Team organization to a Personal account by opening a support ticket."

Migrating to a free personal account will work for many small open source projects. That's what we're planning to do.
Reminds me of how "economic freedom" metrics usually include[1] how easy it is to fire people, but not how restricted employees are by non-competes and other measures that make changing jobs harder. This seems to hinge on the idea that employer-employee relationships are non-coercive and potential employees can always "vote with their feet". However, employees usually depend on having a job to live and - whether through collusion or herd mentality - employers in an industry tend to converge on a common set of restrictions on their workers.

[1] https://www.fraserinstitute.org/economic-freedom/approach

> Many types of labor-market regulation infringe on the economic freedom of employees and employers. Among the more prominent are minimum wages, dismissal regulations, centralized wage setting, extension of union contracts to nonparticipating parties, and conscription. The labor-market component (5B) is designed to measure the extent to which these restraints upon economic freedom are present. In order to earn high marks in the component rating regulation of the labor market, a country must allow market forces to determine wages and establish the conditions of hiring and firing, and refrain from the use of conscription.
I confess I feel like I've taken crazy pills with all of the takes I've seen. This post sums up my understanding perfectly.

Many of the takes further complicate by implying that they had no assets. Which just feels like lying at this point.

I have nothing against Docker Inc. But it's worth noting that this kind of screw up happens when your company, from the top down, does not practice a culture in which empathy/compassion for people comes first.

In all areas of the business, everyone should first be thinking, how does this impact the people using this thing? Have I talked to them? Do they understand what's happening? Do they have concerns? Have I fully addressed them? Is this going to make their lives harder, or will this be scary, or confusing?

It's my biggest pet peeve. Both as a user and an employee. If you don't take the time to care, it's really obvious, and an easy way to piss people off and inconvenience them. From a business perspective that drives customers to your competitors and makes employees quit. From a personal perspective, it's just a dick thing to do.

Can't they just idk release a list of the images that are likely to be impacted unless the owner takes action?

I don't care much of the business decision, it's their house.

I care for the persons I support whom use docker and I dont see a way to prepare them without sounding like a crackpot and looking like a fool if they after making noise turns out they aren't impacted.
Cosmicomics is great!
There’s a defect in Verizon’s MMS systems, that allows spammers to spoof MMS messages onto the network with “xyzvzw.com” as the domain name in the MMS packet, no phone number at all, and then Verizon’s matching system only checks for substring “VZW.COM”, so the invalid messages get delivered (without a source phone number, showing up on your phone as a text from an email address). Since it’s processed as a system message, it’s guaranteed delivery, and their anti-spam system can only block phone numbers so it’s helpless too.

I tried reporting this and they were incapable of responding to or following up on the problem report, though they did helpfully detail the MMS packet defects to me. Maybe one of their engineers will read this someday.

Yes. ADD AX,Iw is encoded as the single byte, 0x01. That byte indicates that a two byte immediate (Iw, which is 1234 here) follows.
Midjourney isn’t trying to be a commercial success. They just want to bring creative power to as many people as possible. Keep the servers scaling to match the rate of userbase growth is the primary financial concern.

Meanwhile, the amount of distributed, user-based effort going into the porn capabilities of Stable Diffusion is staggering. If you feel the world has a shortage of pictures of sexy women, they are collectively working Very Hard on the solution! :D Not disparaging. I’m a horny dude who appreciates pictures of sexy women as much as anyone.

I think there may well be some sort of “holding pen” system. But we don’t have the info. We only know what the “raw” ranking formula is. But the actual rankings differ significantly from what the raw ranking formula says. You can actually see the difference in charts on our site. For example: https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=35183317

We have noticed that the “raw” rank (black line) will sometimes initially put a story on page 1, while it still has no the actual rank (orange line). But then sometimes the orange line suddenly jumps up. This seems to support the “holding pen” hypothesis.
The recently announced GPT-4 [1] now supports feeding it with more “context” when writing a prompt than previous models.

It supports a context length of 32k tokens (approximately 25,000 words or about half a novel).

Title should better be "Project Orion (nuclear propulsion)".

There's too many "Orion" things out there to make it clear that this specific one is about nuclear propulsion.
Picked the wrong one. LoRA, Low-rank Adaptation of LLMs (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.09685.pdf), consists in adapting the weights of a big neural network to a target task (here, answering to instructions). It doesn't touch the weights of the original model, but rather adds the product of two low-rank matrices to select layers. The weights from those matrices are learnable. The method allows to adapt big models on (relatively) low-memory GPUs.
Absolutely. Feel free to reach out to us and we would love to connect & compare notes :)

I had a similar DIY project, also using some Alphasense sensors, + some cheaper metaloxide ones. It was somewhat promising, but it needs long-lasting colocation studies and, after I moved to Sweden, I lost any support from the local authorities and gave up.

Ever wonder why Google outage notifications always say stuff like "this impacted 0.01752% of users"? Because if they leave that out, the PR department ends up flooded with questions from reporters about "how bad was this outage, exactly?", and less-diligent publications running "Google suffers massive outage" headlines.

I got a reasonable response using this prompt:

> Describe an exact way that the three seashells from demolition man could be used

>> One possible explanation is that the three seashells are used in a specific order to clean oneself after using the restroom. One shell might be used to scrape any solid waste, while another could be used to wipe away any remaining residue. The third shell could then be used to rinse and clean oneself with water.

>> Another possibility is that the shells are not used to directly clean oneself, but rather to activate a cleaning process within the toilet itself. For example, pressing one shell could cause the toilet to release a stream of water for cleaning, while another shell could activate a drying mechanism.
I think I read that it prohibits making money, like consulting on the OSS product. This prohibits a lot of OSS teams.
