That will only download the first argument. You need

--remote-name-all

instead of -O (--remote-name) to download all arguments files. It was in my opinion a mistake in the curl cli that remote-name works like output and needs to be repeated for each url. Remote-name-all is what rename-name should have been all along.

then you are not safe by just turning off JS.

It’s crazy, and that’s why hyphenation doesn’t really work that way. Both TeX and web browsers use Liang’s algorithm to split words. [1] It uses so-called patterns, which are short substrings of words in which numbers indicate how to divide the word. For example, the pattern “s1h” indicates that in the word “fishing”, a divider can be inserted between “s” and “h”. Patterns compete and can override each other, and the whole thing is quite complicated. As for your example with Qishan — the “s-h” probably overrides the “i-s” pattern.
(There have been a number of articles in TeX journals that explain the algorithm, such as [2].)

In CSS, automatic hyphenation must be explicitly turned on, see [3].

In TeX and in CSS, hyphenation points can be marked explicitly: in TeX with the \- macro and in CSS with the &shy; or U+00AD character. In TeX you can also override the automatic division with \hyphenation{}.

The splitting algorithm in CSS is worse than the one in TeX, because it has to work in real time and because (good) splitting patterns are often missing.

A hybrid solution could be a grade of bank accounts whose deposits are backed 1:1 by short dated government debt.

You get most of the safe custody benefits of CBDC whilst minimising the costs of restructuring the banking system. Customers could still use all the same banking apps and branches.

Such a program could even be eased in over time by steadily increasing the proportion of bank balance sheets allocated to short dated government debt.
Show HN: Go Program for Effortlessly Creating Google Meetings from Terminal
I use Google Meetings quite often for ad-hoc conversations and pair programming sessions and I hate to go through all the buttons in the Gmail UI to create these meeting rooms and copy the link.

For this reason, I've create a Go program that uses the Google Calendar API for creating instant meetings with single command on the terminal and copy the link to my clipboard.

Please have a look and if you have any feedback that I can use to improve this program, please share it!
Mastodon has the same UI problem as Matrix (Element specifically). The UI/UX isn't _bad_, it's just a teeni tiny bit more worse and confusing in everything than the competition.

If someone would just make a 1:1 clone of Discord and slap it on Matrix, it'd be perfect. The underlying technology is fine, the interfaces are the clunky ones.

Mastodon has a bit of the same, just following someone from another instance is like 6 steps. Basically you need to copy their URL, go to your own instance, search for them using the same URL and click follow if it's the only search result. Compared to Twitter's one click that's a good 500% increase in complexity.

> Commercial banks can not create loans out of thin air during normal operation.

Commercial banks create money, in the form of bank deposits,
by making new loans. When a bank makes a loan, for example
to someone taking out a mortgage to buy a house, it does not typically do so by giving them thousands of pounds worth of banknotes. Instead, it credits their bank account with a bank deposit of the size of the mortgage.

At that moment, new money is created. For this reason, some economists have
referred to bank deposits as ‘fountain pen money’, created at the stroke of bankers’ pens when they approve loans.
It seems you're doing the opposite of "missing the forest for the trees". You see the forest (the app) but you're not seeing the individual trees.

The answer to why companies don't have one interface with GPT is that they would still need to invest time and money into building the application that uses GPT. Checkout the bloop source code to get an idea of what's needed https://github.com/bloopAI/bloop there are also many complex things to deal with. You can't just shove an entire codebase into GPT-4, it has limited ability to track context. The codebase needs to be indexed and stored in a way that sematic search can be done on it very quickly. Every app has their own unique challenges towards getting the data into GPT and making it fast.

TL;DR companies are buying apps that use GPT-4 API, not just access to GPT-4. They'd rather buy the apps instead of building and maintaining them.

> If they make money by lending money that mostly belong the people (state/feds) anyways,

Naa most of the loans are not using other people's money, banks just create money out of thin air (aka put a record in some database table) and that entry is your loan money.

And that just goes to show that it's an "everyday" word, right? Like, dunno, "alarum" (a sound to the battel), "burgesse" (a head man of a towne), "combure" (burne or consume with fire) and many other words from the same time [1]?

See what I mean? No, for recursion she has to suck the egg and then put it back in the shell, and suck again. She has to use both her mouth, to suck, and her nose to expell. It can be done, the nasal cavity and the pharynx are a closed loop.

Hyundai vows to resist modern trend for all-digital cabins and keep buttons
That's a great question, I'm wondering that myself. So I know from the legal standpoint anti-scraping has been a messy debate, but what is different this time. Amazon and Linkedin won't die if their analytics leaks, in fact in Linkedin's case all the data was volunteered by the users. These users won't up and leave to another place that scraped Linkedin. I'm not sure if I agree with the lawsuit outcomes, but it didn't look like an existential threat to Linkedin or Amazon.

Now, in case of scraping _all_ of public useful information. Let's take Stackoverflow as an example of a community-produced content. It gets 90% of its traffic from Google, people show up, read, ask and answer questions (click on jobs and ads to keep SO servers running). If a scraper comes by that inhales all of that data, and regurgitates it under Microsoft's name, giving no credit, no references and absolutely nothing back to the authors of those questions and answers. What is the reason for SO to exist anymore? What is the motivation for people to keep answering and refining the questions? 90% of Stackoverflow will evaporate. The way it's currently set up it's an existential threat to any meaningful content on the web. Maybe there have been some legal precedents to repeal anti-scraping, but this is a very big problem now.

Theoretically, yes. But better treat it as misinformation.
It depends on location.

Finland for example has like 3-5 areas where prices are going up or are stable. In others like dying towns and such housing is sometimes essentially worthless. Or even negative value. Like there are row houses(a special company owned by tenants/individual landlords), can't get loans for needed renovations. Because value of building is less than the renovations cost.

Same here. I've read a lot of them. And I haven't read a single one that made me want to try it. My psyche treats any state as permanent, and I think most of these trips would probably drive me insane. Inb4 I need a psychedelic trip to break out of that psychic mold.
Are you telling me that because I can't reason about the brain, I can't reason about computers? I can't understand how a computer works? I can look at the code, or the design, or the data that's going in and out, but I still cannot figure out what a a computer system is doing. That's your point?

See what I mean? It's as if we never had any computer science, no theory of information, no theory of complexity, no maths, we just woke up one day and we had these ... machines in our rooms that did wonderful and magickal things and the only way to explain them was to kneel down and pray to the machine spirits for guidance.
I'm not keen on the whole US model of "mandated psychopathy".

In reality the license just puts extra restrictions on distribution of the software and how derivative works can be licensed.

The copyright owner is the only person who can sue people for violating the license of the software they created.

Copyright owners are not forced to stop people from infringing their copyrights. If they want they can allow people to infringe their copyright without punishment. Sometimes they just don't care and sometimes copyright infringement can be beneficial for the owner.
I think that last part is what the "product" is. Train it with a large data set, learn to constrain it, and give it a more fixed scope AKA customer support. Retain the best of your existing staff to monitor, review and train it in an ongoing way. Use them to deal with "outliers" and "new features".

OpenAI is getting trolled for its name after refusing to be open
Except that disabling JavaScript is an anomaly all on its own. The dozens of users running without JavaScript might not be individually fingerprint able but it's still a small enough cohort that I don't know how much I'd lean on that. Figure in the user agent string and it's probably unique enough a subgroup to sell ads to.
Are you trolling or are you actually this delusional?
Ask HN: Why is the AI black box such a big deal?
I’ve heard many people say that the unexplainable nature of AI/ML models makes them untrustworthy, but do developers really care in practice? From my experience it seems like all that matters is performance considerations (eg accuracy, data efficiency, model size, etc). And the field seems to have been progressing fine despite the “black box”.

What would ideal explainability even look like? For example, in deep learning if we knew what individual neurons were doing, would this solve any problems? Or even if we could specifically know why the model makes a particular error, the solution is still just to throw more training data at the model. Maybe increased explainability could help with more rational design of model architectures and training methods, but that has never been such a huge bottleneck in my experience.

SHAP, LIME, saliency maps, and the like I have always felt to be pretty hand wavy, inaccurate, and they don’t provide much insight for what developers need. I feel like they only exist to placate AI/ML skeptics so we can claim we sort of know what is going on with our models only when someone cares.

Am I missing something here? What specific efficiencies or insights would a developer benefit from if we had more explainable AI/ML models?
Awesome experience report, but

Personally, I’d begin from figuring out company strategy and how the team will deliver on it and what KPIs I’d use to measure the team’s output. I’d then map out what are the strengths and weaknesses of the team including skills gaps. This will include things like seniority, ability to deliver at an individual level. Since there’s only one team member so far, this would be more of a plan/roadmap of the team you’d like to grow into.

Junior members are great at knowledgeable tasks but may lack real-world experience to understand tooling, deliver quality work and put something into production (not always - there are exceptions of course). Since you’re in R&D, this may not be a huge factor/risk so junior engineers may be a good fit.

I’d be happy to discuss further over a call if you’d like. Happy to share my experience growing teams from 1 to 200.

Presumably you didn't just keep that money sitting in your own bank account though - you used it to buy something or pay someone, and their account was often at another bank. If a bank issues too many loans where the money ends up at other banks without counterbalancing transfers of money in, it eats away at the reserves they have available to settle those transfers with and that's how deposits actually limit banks' ability to make loans. The Bank of England article that someone linked further down explains this in more detail (page 18 in the PDF): https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/quarterly-bulletin/2014/q1/m...

I entertain the idea that spirits are real in a similar sense that our consciousness is real.
Spirit is an emergent property of humans. When we are angry and vengeful the "spirit" of war is possessing "us". We are not our former self and lose quite a bit of control. This spirit is eternal, contagious, cross cultures.

Our ancestors put a name and images on something abstract but we discarded it because it didn’t fit our modern materialist viewpoint.
Don't underestimate how much effort OpenAI is no doubt spending on training their models to solve specific predictable problems, like Wordle, Chess, etc. in order to increase publicity when people inevitably ask them this.

This is the missing piece in much of what people are discussing about these AI models. They are putting too much faith in OpenAI thinking they're just launching a neural net and calling it a day. Nope. They are selling a product. And that product is being refined, filtered, tailored, and having every prompt collected and analysed for future opportunities.

I wonder how many times it was asked to solve Wordle before an engineer decided to feed Wordle specific training data into it?
Why are you confrontational? Maybe he does.

Back in the day, we had a nice boundary between the document and the "app". Then for some reason we decided that Flash doesn't need to be a thing any more and erased that boundary by building the app functionality into browsers themselves, making the app and the document inseparable. We should have invested that effort into building an open source Flash player instead.

One of the nicest things about Flash was that you could set your browser to only load and run Flash content after you click it.
