Facebook's early exclusivity was great for college kids and spreading amongst certain young people - making it cool. You had to have a .edu email to log in! It was also much better than Myspace.

Google+ was mediocre and not better than the competition. Young people didn't care about it. The exclusivity was generated by a company - it didn't appeal to the user's inherent bias. Facebook initially appealed to narcissism - the early users "knew" they were "better" than myspace users.

What was Google+ appealing to? Being a nerd?
Banks create money out of thin air when they originate loans. Various regulations and central bank activities are designed to control this process, but they are somewhat indirect - they don't tell a bank 'this is exactly how much money you are allowed to create', instead they enforce things like capital ratios and provide liquidity in various ways, and the money creation is then carried out by the bank rather organically.

Nvidia Grace CPU Paves Fast Lane to Energy-Efficient Computing
Them and Adorama. AMZN is the last place I look for things, not least for the awful experience of wading through all the fake product listings. (So many posters make excuses for this, such as AMZN couldn't afford to police product listings, but I don't see Ebay or craiglist flooded with nonsense listings)

Nvidia Announces H100 NVL – Max Memory Server Card for Large Language Models
Small clarification, the tests aren't on the DB queries alone. It's a full flow on a test backend, like it calls /editProfile to name a user "Bob" then calls /getProfile, and it expects the response to have `name: "Bob"`. It'll probably fail if I mess up a type and get "undefined," but it's also testing much more than that.
Show HN: Pair: Open Tool for Coding with GPTs, Built by Coding with GPTs
Github Copilot is a great tool for leveraging GPTs while coding, but I find that it is too “open loop” for more complex tasks that require Q&A, feedback to guide it in a particular direction, iteration on code execution errors, etc. There is a large class of tasks that are better accomplished in an iterative, stateful chat-like interface.

I have been experimenting with a local command line chat interface to GPT-4 and my mind was blown once again a few days ago when I copied documentation for a pretty involved API into the model context and managed to chat-guide GPT-4 to implement the API in under 30 minutes, complete with a ridiculous amount of unit test coverage.

This involved a lot of manual copy and pasting back and forth and other friction points that could be removed by a streamlined REPL interface optimized for code interactions. It occurred to me that it would be fun to build such a tool, and as the ultimate act of dogfooding, try to build it with GPT!

So PAIR is the starting point here. You can see a recent commit message has a log of my interactions with the model that produced that commit.

Next step is to add better mechanisms to manage the model input context (e.g. make it easy for the model to see the latest version of a source file when needed) followed by mechanisms for allowing the model to suggest changes via diffs that are quickly reviewed and accepted by the human in the loop before being applied to the file and tested.

I would love to hear from others who have experimented with GPT pair programming in a chat-style interface and any feedback you might have on your experience with it.
This is by far the biggest improvement to java in the last few years and plays a big role as to why a lot of different types of backend tools still are written in JVM based languages rather than switching it up. This said, hotspot still has some issues with taking full control of SIMD optimizations.
Not by a long shot. Slow network latency also isn't taking up gigabytes of ram either.
"Nobody wants to go and say that the uncertainty cost is 100% of the project cost"

As a software engineer, I completely agree. This is why we do Agile (and friends), so estimates are just weeks out. But what do you do when you need to plan a decade-long project? Software industries avoid those, so I guess we're fortunate.
> This is a brittle method. If a test problem were present in the training set with names and numbers changed, it wouldn’t be detected. Less flaky methods are readily available, such as embedding distances.

well honestly i think this is a temporary problem for GPT-4. what you do is fuzz your benchmarks by rephrasing them with GPT itself. the same way the image AI people make their models robust to perturbations. you can generate 100 variations for every 1 "real" test. then train to pass those. you've just unlocked GPT-5.
Thank You for your service.

My thoughts on video editing:

I'm a dad of two young kids and my photo hobby transitioned into recording random videos of our daily life together. Just for us. Maybe sharing with the close family. I use my Camcorder, Phone or sometimes my Canon R6. In that order.

First thing I solved quickly: Storage/Backup. Got a NAS and done. Second thing to solve was more complicated. What to make with all those videos I record? I'm a kid of the 80s. So VHS-sized videos are kind of my guiding star from the past. 30min-60min and clips are shown in order I recorded them. This means usually I throw videos into iMovie and create ~30min clips themed after the age of the kids or the seasons. Add some transitions and text. That felt good for the past 2-3 years.

I then enjoyed editing so much that I got Final Cut Pro (FCPX). I wanted to learn some advanced editing in my very spare time. Some tracking, some color grading, some faster cuts. But learning was slow as hell being busy with many other duties. The raw video material piled up in the past months as I didn't want to admit that I should go back to iMovie so I just forced myself through FCPX. Sometimes with joy, sometimes it feels like a duty and often loose myself because of the advanced tool FCPX is. I already recorded less because I sense the pressure of every new recording on my shoulders.

The thing that I recognized only a few days ago: The initial idea to create VHS-sized movies was ill-advised. That pattern put the pressure on me because it always involves most/all recordings. Selection is super difficult when I want to showcase what happened in an entire season without having a specific topic. I should see the raw videos as my VHS. I should make it accessible on my TV or somehow shareable. That's it. Skip that stupid editing of everything. Nobody cares for that anyway and you can watch the individual files anyhow.

What I should do instead: Pick a very specific topic. Like the first steps of my kids, a birthday party or highlights from our vacation. Something short enough while being really worth, so I spend my precious hobby time with joy.

Maybe that helps some other video recording mum or dad out there. I'm glad I came to that insight so I can enjoy reading articles like the one linked here again.
I seriously thought a bunch of BSD experts got together and raised funds for making 2023 the "Year of the BSD".

On a different note, I wish new projects respect the history of other projects while naming their project. I am sure they would've found a better name for this DB.
> "Legal demands" include a combination of court orders and other formal demands to remove content, from both governmental entities and lawyers representing individuals.

I am very very much in doubt that it was publicly _known_ (not theorised) that the government was asking Twitter to delete _legal_ but _undesirable_ tweets!

When the government is suggesting Twitter to censor specific users/subjects/tweets, is that not close to (if not outright) violating the first amendment?
I hope they buy and back some of these companies building local/on-prem capable models to run locally on iOS. Add in some proprietary ML chip tech to run it efficiently on mobile and they will capture a big market. Having intimate personal assistant requests uploaded to MSFT/OpenAI is a deal breaker for me.

Because syntax highlighting in JavaScript is (presumingly) not covered by LSP but by a generic syntax parser. And these updates take endless through the supply chain pipeline.

And as a side note: LSPs are not exactly free these days anymore. Java is not considering it core project (I guess outsourced to RedHat and Eclipse) and Microsoft has a very erratic behavior towards what is in and out the LSP or DAP.

That hurts a lot, I got in way past the point where it was acquired by amazon, but the forums were always a very nice place to interact (with its lots of weird and single-focused people, as every forum, that gives it charm). The reviews for most cameras made in the last 20 years were invaluable and very detailed, although lately they certainly struggled to maintain the quantity of content they put out in the past.

I cannot imagine that cutting the maybe 30 people (tops) required to maintain the site and push content will make a difference in Amazon revenue; but removing this great online resource is sure to sadden thousands of users.

I'm curious about sending changesets instead of commands.

I get there are some things are nondeterministic, but I'm surprised that they couldn't be converted into deterministic commands before sending them out. E.g. send the result of `RANDOM()` instead of the call itself.

I don't know how much that would buy you, but I'd imagine it might make the amount of information to send much smaller.

My dad, born in the 50s in northern France says that near beer was more ubiquitous for kids than water when he was growing up. Part of it was that the ever so slight fermentation of even near beer made it safer to drink than water from who knew where. I never checked the validity of this story, but it's fun to think about.
It doesn't really surprise me though that cheap beer would be cheaper than mineral water brands, most of their costs have to be bottling and transport and marketing. The product itself, is probably one of the cheaper parts.
AFAIK Java was GPL'd by Sun (before the Oracle purchase). This resulted in the OpenJDK, which is the basis for all distributions of Java. Oracle is a big contributor to the development, but so are many others. You can get a pure OpenJDK or any of a number of branded JDKs like those from Eclipse, BellSoft, etc. You can get non-free distributions with support too. A sticking point for a number of years was the TCK (Technology Compatability Kit) used to validate Java, but that too was GPL'd. Java has evolved quite a bit since being open sourced. IMHO C# has some great features, but Java is great for certain things. For instance, making native apps for Mac, Win, and Linux based on modular libraries from the JDK is now fairly easy (and with a modern UI using the OpenJFX framework).

I somewhat wished that when Chrome switches to manifest v3, uBlock Origin would stop supporting Chrome and its clones.

Firefox is the only browser where uBlock Origin is actually working as intended, Chrome on the other hand (even in manifest v2) is blocking so many features that uBO isn't actually able to work as a privacy and anti-malware tool. CNAME uncloaking is essential because websites can counter any filter rule by just aliasing the Google Analytics domain but Chrome doesn't have an API for that. Instead you need a gigantic list of filter rules, one for each domain, making loading web pages slower.

uBO is even slower in Chrome because Chrome doesn't allow extensions to use wasm.

> Being the one shop still online when 99% of the clouds go down is probably not a realistic competitive advantage for your business.

It depends. If you're just another Etsy store, or a SaaS that integrates with other SaaSes, then yes. The entire internet will be down if AWS is down and nobody will blame you.

But if your customers are using your app on a job site and they can't work without it, you'll lose everyone if you have a single outage of even a few minutes.

I have a client in this space and they've handled this by making the app work offline and by pushing a few high-value things outside of AWS to survive an outage of their main stack, such as access grants, and the app can start to use MMS to send its data by including a token with the photo and job info and then this gets synced later by actually adding the token receiver to a user list as if you'd added them through the main UI.

I agree with your overall post, but the demand was likely less driven by federal stimulus, than everyone being stuck home and looking around and realizing maybe its time to finally fix that fence/deck, and knock out that project I have had on the to-do list for years now... I mean maybe the injection of the stimulus helped turbocharge it, but three years ago virtually all of my discretionary spending just stopped overnight. There were no restaurants or movies to go to, practically all activities were canceled, etc.

I mean its a real indictment of the state of America if a $1200 check can just radically reshape the economy. I guess its possible the even larger corporate checks were a factor here too, but I was really surprised that restaurants and other establishments didn't take the time as an opportunity to remodel or update, but obviously there was a lot of fear, probably a lack of willing workers, etc that prevented a lot of that.

As a personal anecdote, I didn't receive any stimulus funds of any sort, but thought a nice covid-safe project would be to get my driveway redone- its a pretty simple outdoor concrete driveway, but no one would do this in all of 2020. I still can't get anyone to do my punch list of small $5-15k projects.
