For anyone who is not into music production, these are the most ubiquitous audio monitors on the planet, for two basic reasons:

a) They are not very expensive

b) Given how popular they are, there's no other pair of monitors any given user is more likely to have used before... Meaning they are a "familiar reproduction baseline" for musicians, producers and engineers who are often working outside of their own studios and have to make critical decisions on the spot.

In recent decades, as audio monitoring fidelity dramatically improved, NS10s also became increasingly useful as secondary monitoring devices. "My mix sounds great on these hi-fi speakers — let me see if it also translates well to my ("crappier") NS10s!"

Finally, for anyone looking to get serious about audio monitoring for an arguably reasonable price (compared to other pro options), I highly recommend monitors by HEDD, a Berlin-based company founded by physicist Heinz Klaus (formerly R&D lead at ADAM, another solid audio monitor manufacturer whose products I also used for years). Here's Sound on Sound's review of the pair I currently own: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/hedd-type-20
Thanks for writing this up. I read through it the other day and it was a lot simpler to get through than digging through Langchain for the first time.

I took your example and added a couple other "actions" like searching a searxng instance and returning the markdown version of a certain url. It's surprising how much more useful it can be when it has the ability to look stuff up on the internet.

Its all to do with how the API is designed. Now the prompts need to be sent in the form of chat, and we need to worry about text being output from the model, and not just code. Basically, users need to comb through their codebase, change their API calls and see if nothing breaks. While gpt turbo is quite good, it was quite a headache to replace davinci calls with GPT Turbo, especially when I closely integrated it with a chain of prompts. I can only imagine it being more of a headache for codex users
Realistically, it seems like the drawbridges will fall down even faster.

Open source models like Chinchilla are... not that far behind GPT-4.

It's questionable how much of a moat OpenAI will have in 5 years... Bard, Chinchilla, are all competitive.

Lol thats freakin hilarious. I just got an Asus OLED 15" laptop for $500 and its freaking amazeballs. The specs are pretty decent too, Ryzen 5600H, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD. Gonna cost me another $30 to upgrade the ram to 24GB. It basically has the same AMOLED panel as the Galaxys. I don't know how much OLED is suppose to cost, but its not more than $500 plus a whole computer.

In effect, it means if they can call you, they can exploit you. The description given was what an attacker needs to hack you in particular, which means they need your phone number to determine which device to target. If they want to spam a million users they could do that too, although these kinds of things are typically not done this way because that is very noisy and reduces the effective life of the vulnerability.

This one is pretty cool, it's a video about defining a prompt that iterates over your prompt requirements, each time asking increasingly more refined questions about your specific goal, in order to ultimately generate a very specific prompt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgYQAS9LY3o

People talk about how Chat-GPT won't replace programmers - but this Chat-GPT prompt's behaviour in the video sounds scarily like me in most of my meetings with managers and biz folk. Except Chat-GPT is better at it than me because it's more polite and swears a lot less.

I often use writing to clarify my thinking and effectively "rubber-duck" my analysis. Now I think I'm going to start rubber-ducking my analysis against Chat-GPT.

On the other hand, I made my first attempt at getting GPT-4 to write some react code for me. It made the exact errors I expect any newbie React programmer to make; from using stale state from a variable capture in a hook to forgetting to set the inputRef on the HTML element.

The trippy thing was: each time I told it "no, that's wrong because X" it fixed the code on the first go.

Still, it did get the code right in the end - and this is literally the first time I ever used Chat-GPT or any other AI tool.

On the one hand, I'm looking forward to learning about prompt engineering; on the other, I'll be careful not to get too invested in the minutiae - it definitely smells like a transitional technology.

I haven't see that work out in practice, I've suspected that's mostly marketing fluff at this point. Anyone have counter examples?

We considered autoscaling web backends once. You've got to worry about capacity issues. You don't want a load spike only to discover EC2 has run out of the instance type you use. I've seen that issue 3-4 times in AWS now and it's painful when it causes downtime. Your app needs to have spikey load for the pricing to work, for us, even a strong day/night cycle didn't give enough "off time" to cover the higher hourly prices. Cloud vendors give steep discounts for always on usage. Your load also can't be too spikey, as spinning nodes up and down takes time. Making nodes start quickly can be a dedicated project.

I think we also looked into moving CI/CD servers to on demand, but some engineers worked too late into the night and others were up early. IIRC the "off period" was long enough to provide some cost savings, but not high enough to justify engineering cost.

Something like Lambda doing a "scale to zero" with a generous free tier looks cheap, but if you ever need to scale up you'll find it's quite expensive and your stuck with a weird architecture that's hard to move to something traditional. It is cool when an app fits the Lambda free tier, but that's not a good model for companies paying very large cloud bills.

The problem is that someone needs to do capacity planning, someone needs to buy servers. AWS has to pay the cost of an unutilized server by... keeping the hourly cost of on demand servers/cloud functions high.
The tape size needed for a Turing machine is incalculable. Here's a reference to a proof: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2725.

The machine with 7918-states, Z, stops (well, Z cannot be proven to run infinitly long) iff. ZFC is consistent. For this it needs a finite amount of space but we cannot calculate how much. If we could calculate an upper bound we've proven ZFC is consistent.

It doesn't sound reasonable to me to recommend disabling something without providing even minimum information on how someone could exploit it so that I can determine if it's likely to be exploited against me. I could live without VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling, but some people live in areas with bad cell coverage, or no 2G/3G coverage, so they just can't turn it off.

Regardless of all the points the siblings make, first and foremost this is fun. It's fun to reverse engineer stuff. It's fun to get things working that were previously not working.

A lot of peoples careers start this way. A lot of the hacking and the cracking scene was born this way. There is a certain kind of pleasure and satisfaction involved when you get a device that was previously not designed to do a certain thing behave in that way.
XML, of course, is an opposite: It is a rather good way for humans to create data meant for computer consumption. Once the data are laid out, they can be transformed into a more efficient machine form in the same way a program is compiled, but for the web this is rarely done for any format, including pure machine-to-machine interaction. E.g. JSON is mostly used for machine-to-machine exchange and it is far from begin efficient for this.

No. It often produced code that referenced non existing packages or classes that conveniently would solve the problem if they only existed, but the code would otherwise compile.
Headshots are expected in CVs in the vast majority of the world. To my knowledge the big exceptions are US, UK, Canada, and Australia. But even there it's more like an "exception" since there's generally an unstated expectation that an employer can find more information, including a headshot, of you online.
> The research is accessible. ( https://openai.com/research )

that's not what "open" customarily means in the context of software development.

> Why are we trying to legislate and regulate the name of a company?

Nobody on news.ycombinator.com is capable of legislating anything, but to answer your question, it's because the name is deceptive.

And anyways, the names of companies are already "legislated and regulated". If you don't believe me then I dare you to start a new software corporation called Microsoft and see how far you can go before somebody forces you to change it.
It's not a meaningful restriction. Even if they were good at catching accounts doing this, the community that wants an open-source chat assistant is so huge that you could easily find many people to share their API keys or install a browser extension to share their chats.

While I think the original comment on a CEO, a peasant, and a gun to be crass, I want to note that society wasn't always valuing "shareholder value" so much.

First, I want all companies, regardless of who invests in them, to hold some level of social responsibility to the society around them. Sometimes layoffs are necessary, and companies can't maintain excess costs forever, but there's some value to society to maintain employment.

Second, investments that return a profit to their investors is great, and as an investor, it's something I would want. That said, it's unreasonable to expect exponential growth forever, AND it compromises their ability to focus on other principles. How much return on investment is enough before a company can focus on being a force of good? 10%, 100% 1000%, 1M%?

Third, as an investor, I question if paying execs so much more than rank-and-file employees is good. So thats another example principle. I assume a well paid exec is incentivized to increase short term value, while as an investor I value long-term growth. Having a healthy employee base full of bright talented workers (incentivized by top-tier salary) seems a better solution.

The point is imputation is used regularly in genetics, just not on forensics. And for good reasons. This case is old enough to be a curiosity, an amusing reading. But 70 years ago it was a potential murder case.

Imagine a forensinc lab using imputation to identify some samples and arresting someone based on them. It takes only a slighly interested lawyer to destroy that evidence at trial, saying that imputation is, literally, making up a good amount of data. In fact, defendant lawyers put a lot of effort in invalidating evidence, and imputation is quite easy to attack.

This case is a good sample to build upon it, to try to introduce imputation as a victim identification. But forensics move slowly.
Perhaps a generational (and maybe class?) thing as well; it and related terms were vicious and influential enough to have motivated The Spastics Society to change their name to Scope in the mid-nineties [1]; I guess growing awareness of disability discrimination and bigotry also contributed to it being recognized as beyond the pale and disappearance from casual conversation with the corollary effect of some people outside those demographics being ignorant of how awful those terms were.

Ask HN: Tips for a new team lead who is hiring
Hi all,

I'm moving into a Team Lead position after ~9 years of technical work (mostly R&D). The team deals with cryptography for a hardware startup, so we have a very diverse set of subjects we need to understand (abstract math, a few open source libraries we are integrating with, hardware requirements, to name a few).
At the moment there's only one team member I'll be in charge of, so I'll be focused on hiring.

My main question is what should I put emphasis on in the recruitment process? Is hiring a junior a valid risk? Are there gotchas I should be aware of?
> I feel like if Apple doesn't say anything about LLMs in WWDC, it will be officially its biggest loss after the death of Steve Jobs.

This is a bit silly. What will they have lost, exactly?

I think they’re likely scrambling right now like every company with a speech-to-text or AI-type product. And they’ll be angling to do it in an Apple way — released when they feel confident they have a great product.

I wouldn’t put it past them to discuss it before they launch, however — they’ve been looser-lipped in the last years (ie abt their headset), I would guess to keep mindshare, basically.
Learning to drive in some countries and for some individuals can take months, be hugely costly and still only result in a license that isn’t immediately transferable to other countries (eg you have to hold a license for x years before you can drive abroad and/or older than x years old).

Other countries might not even allow you to apply for a learners licence unless you have a specific visa.

So if you’re a young adult and travel a lot, it might not even be possible, let alone practical, to earn a license.

Which is precisely why I didn’t learn to drive until I was in my 30s and ready to start a family.

Because conTeXt exists and is really much better at that sort of thing, having full native support for things like color, figures that GO WHERE YOU PUT (glares at latex floats). It can all kinda of fancy sidebars, infoboxes, all that InDesigny sort of stuff.

You can tell it was built from the ground up for books, and not scholarly publications. In that respect it’s actually closer to plain TeX.

It doesn’t try to be overly semantic because books are complex beasts, and there really is no useful-but-wrong simple model that doesn’t handicap you.

Like, not all books have chapters. Some have hundred of very short chapters, with multiple on a single page.

It’s also much more “batteries included”.

Asciidoctor PDF works as long as you are ok with what you could call the general "template" it uses. You can modify details within that, but if you want to change it, other approaches are required. Last time I had to deal with it I went with DocBook5 and then used a conversion to LaTeX to "break out". I agree with the asciidoctor guys about not offering more flexibility with that "template"; they have other things to focus on and it works well for cases where no specific layout is required.
