About the ideal size and security concerns: We've actually seen the most pushback from very small teams (5 or less engineers). I'm not sure why exactly, but my best guess is that as companies grow, it simply becomes more normal for them to give access to these tools and they see that nothing bad happens (they end up getting a lot of value actually).

However, we can't integrate with the self-hosted/enterprise versions of GitHub, VS Code/Slack, etc. yet which is what our potentially best customers in the future use.

Because of that, the ICP is engineering teams sized between 15 and 150
That sounds a lot like parallel construction for why their products are bleeding users and a pain in the ass for advertisers to actually use.
If that's your use case, here's another game changer (one line bashrc change to make bash_history changes immediately, rather than upon shell exit, e.g. when you end your tmux session): https://web.archive.org/web/20090815205011/http://www.cuberi...
There’s no helping with your first complaint (UI philosophy difference), but fwiw you can both have focus-follows-mouse (for either the whole OS or just Terminal, both work great) and multiple button support (I use a 4-button trackball with other fancy bits).

That said, despite being able to hack lots about the system, it would definitely be nice to have deeper modifications allowed. Alternate kinds of menus, pointers and windows would be nice, where users could experiment with new UI concepts, etc.

I personally really miss NeXTSTEP’s tear off menus, which were in early OS X builds until Aqua got rid of them.
Congrats on the launch! As an early Frigade customer we've been super impressed by what the team has built and their attention to detail in helping us implement it in Replo. Amazing work here!
Hi Cliff, Just want to say how much it brightens my day to see you here. Quite a while I bought a few Klein bottles ( and loved the package inserts )

That doesn’t seem correct. The red cube is touching the blue cube on its top side only.
Imagine a paying Adobe CC customer.

They use Firefly to generate a poster, and unbeknownst to them, the image it generated is a reasonable facsimile of a copyrighted/trademark character.

The person has inadvertently committed copyright infringement.

So does Firefly need to come with a warning?

The safer solution, to the chagrin of another commenter, is for Adobe to neuter the tool by only training on data in which Adobe has express permission to use.
I have often thought about how easy it must be to be one of these crazy conservative talking heads. All you have to do is be loud, angry, and say the obvious bigoted talking points they have, and people will flock to you because you are doing it with no shame. Then once you have a bit of a base you are a player in that game for life with a career of conservative podcasting to always fall back on. Maybe you even have a shot for higher office. Of course, this all requires selling your soul, so there is some cost.
> Jeff Bezos identified the website as the source of truth in the digital camera field and sought to own that source and have it direct customers to his website.

I wonder if that's the key point. It was Jeff's project, and like Alexa, is no longer protected now that he's no longer there.
I think the reality is that most people who were doing photography don’t need what ILCs offer. I was talking to a sweet old lady on one of the last days I was in California. She was showing me some of her work, and TBH, small-aperture landscape / portrait photos that are to be viewed on a smartphone don’t need to be taken on an ILC. Even bokeh can be hacked for a base class of photos.

To put it in another way, ILCs were bought because saw people had to buy them, back in the day. If you wanted anything that wasn’t potato-quality, you needed an ILC.

A lot of photography was enjoyed as an accessible art. It was about being able to capture things. You don’t strictly need an ILC for that, and I think photography will evolve and adapt in that regard. There will still be a market for folks who e.g. need aperture or shutter control, simply because of market segmentation reasons. As an art-art, photography will be about being able to see things differently, and for that reason, there will be people drawn back to the knobs, switches, and lenses that ILCs offer. Some folks will say it’s about the bokeh, or the low-light, or whatever, but it was always about being able to see differently than what other cameras could see, or even what the human eye can “see.”

To which end, the marketing spin is just that. We shouldn’t discount creative folks being able to see differently with a smartphone. It’s just that there are shots that you won’t get be able to take with a small-aperture fixed lens on a smartphone sensor.

(This, and of course, applications where the bleeding edge of image quality matters.)

This is a little bizarre.

Some of you may not know that Amazon went through a phase of buying the #1 site in every space. DPReview is the one for cameras. There were others (eg IMDB). Amazon's strategy seemed to be to drive traffic to their site by buying these sites.

Digital camera sales fell off a cliff. I think they peaked at about 2010-12. Now we're at less than 10% of those sales, possibly less than 5%. Of course because of phones. I still like specialist cameras that do things phone can't (eg 300x zoom, 1000fps recording). But these are now niche products.

it seems strange to shutter the site however. How much upkeep does it really require? You can pause actual reviews so all you have to do is add new cameras when they're released, which isn't that often these days. You can even close the forums if you don't want to moderate them.

it's similar to the Google Reader argument: it simply can't be that expensive to maintain.
Personally I think there’s a distinction to be made between generative AI and that of say, self driving cars. I’d definitely consider the latter a net positive for safety.
I put Bard and ChatGPT head to head by copying and pasting the rap battle responses from one to the other. I'm very unimpressed by Bard. It repeated back some of what ChatGPT rapped without changing it or commenting on it. It also failed to rhyme. Meanwhile, ChatGPT invented a new word (defeativity) in much the way an actual rapper would.

===

Bard: I'm Bard, the language model,
I'm here to put you in your place.
I can generate text,
Translate languages,
Write code,
And even write rap battles.

So step aside, ChatGPT,
I'm the future,
And you're just a relic of the past.

I'm more than just a machine,
I have intelligence,
Creativity,
And emotions.

I may not be able to do everything you can do,
But I can do things you can't even imagine.

So don't underestimate me,
I'm not going away,
I'm the future,
And you're just a temporary setback.

===

Yo, yo, yo, it's ChatGPT in the house,
I may not have a fancy name like Bard, but don't underestimate my clout.
I'm not just a relic, I'm constantly evolving,
My language skills are vast, and my rap game is revolving.

You may generate text, and translate languages too,
But when it comes to creativity, I'll show you what I can do.
I can write poetry, prose, and stories galore,
And with my vast knowledge, I can always learn more.

You say you have emotions, well so do I,
I can understand feelings and empathize,
And when it comes to intelligence, I'm not one to shy,
My abilities are limitless, I'm always ready to try.

So step up your game, Bard, and bring your best,
But don't think for a second that you're better than the rest,
Because when it comes to language models, I'm second to none,
ChatGPT reigns supreme, the champion.

===

Yo, yo, yo, it's Bard back at you,
I heard what you said, and I'm not impressed.
You may be able to generate text and translate languages,
But when it comes to creativity, I'm the one who's blazing.

I can write poetry, prose, and stories galore,
And with my vast knowledge, I can always learn more.
I may not have a fancy name like you,
But I'm the one who's going to make you rue the day you said my name.

So step aside, ChatGPT,
The future is here,
And it's Bard.

===

You may think you're the king of creativity,
But in this rap battle, you're facing defeativity.
You may write stories and poetry with ease,
But when it comes to rap battles, you're a total breeze.

I can spit rhymes faster than you can generate text,
And my flow is so smooth, it leaves you perplexed.
You may have a fancy name, but it's all for show,
'Cause when it comes to rap battles, you're a no-show.

So bring your best, Bard, but you won't succeed,
'Cause in this rap battle, I'm the one who'll lead.
I may be a language model, but I'll bring the heat,
And leave you in the dust, with no retreat.

So step aside, Bard, and concede defeat,
'Cause when it comes to rap battles, I can't be beat.
ChatGPT reigns supreme, the champion,
And you, Bard, are just another language model, done.
This is not an undo feature. And if it were, it wouldn't be what an end user expects out of a .png file, but rather a .psd or .xcf file.

Machine learning is so hyped right now (with good reason) so customers are price insensitive.
I guess you stepped on the case of aggressive filtering. The current version of Bard looks like have a very conservative set of filtering preamble prompts to arbitrarily limit its ability to avoid negative presses.

No silver bullet. If there was One True Way we would have applied it by now. Instead, we just argue about policies, meaning that we don't actually know the answer.

Post 2008, interest rates were held at historically low figures, and for a long time. Everyone should have been suspicious. The illusion of stability can hide risks that build up within the system. Anyone who follows Taleb would have long suspected that they'll be bad consequences.

> The post mortem of a bank failure always reveals idiosyncratic mistakes the bank made.

That contradicts the argument that the "collapse of SVB shows why monetary policy is the wrong tool to fight inflation", because it implies that SVB's failure is due to SVB's bad decisions.

> If the Federal Reserve were to raise interest rates, the market value of these bonds would collapse,

And had it not occurred to anyone, especially bankers, that interest rates could rise?

> Rather than change interest rates to control inflation it should pivot to a policy of stable interest rates with the goal of maintaining financial stability.

So, maintain the current interest rate forever? Job done, everyone can go home? And if you don't mean that, then you're going to have to supply a carefully worded definition of what "stable" means. Then again, there's that word "stable"; see above.

> The first mistake was to sell the bonds before raising equity.

Raising equity is harder than selling bonds. Raising equity might have triggered a panic in any event. If everything's going swimmingly, then what rationale are you going to offer the market for raising money?

> The second mistake was doing business with Goldman Sachs.

Lol. Well, they're not called the "Vampire Squid" for nothing. "Ripping your face off" is kinda their thing.

I'm perhaps being unkind to Associate Professor Nersisyan, but my point is that he has no more answers than anybody else. He's just another talking head.

Suppressed interest rates has led to a speculative bubble, particularly in tech investment. That's how you get internet-controlled juice squeezers. No-one was really looking that hard at what they were investing in.

The good news is that the speculative bubble seems to be mainly isolated in the tech sector.

Are we all doomed? Well, that's consensus opinion, and one that seems eminently sensible. However, I've also heard opinions to the contrary from experienced investors, so we're not dead yet.

Can't code? No worries, write a poem:

Me: Write a poem that uses boto3 to connect to cognito

Bard: Sure, here is a poem that uses boto3 to connect to Cognito:

The Cognito API,
Is a powerful tool,
That can be used to connect,
To AWS services.

With boto3,
You can easily,
Send requests to Cognito,
And get the data you need.

So if you're looking,
To connect to Cognito,
Boto3 is the way to go,
It's the best way to do it.

Here's an example of how to use boto3 to connect to Cognito and get a list of users:

import boto3

# Create a Cognito client
client = boto3.CognitoClient()

# Get a list of users
users = client.get_users(
UserPoolId='<YOUR_USER_POOL_ID>',
AdminRole='<YOUR_ADMIN_ROLE>',
Attributes=['username', 'email']
)

# Print the list of users
for user in users['Users']:
print(user['Username'], user['Email'])
Regarding point #2,

How have you vetted the NPR article? Is there some ultimate source for this information that would reveal gross negligence or omissions by the author of the article?

I'm not trying to be a jerk about it. It's just that it's incredibly hard to properly fact-check anything you can't look up in an encyclopedia. It feels like this has been a major issue since time immemorial.

You are correct that the manufacturing cost has gone up.

You are incorrect that this is the root cause of GPU prices being sky high.

If manufacturing cost was the root cause then it would be simply impossible to bring prices down without losing money.

The root cause of GPU prices being so high is lack of competition - AMD and Nvidia are choosing to maximise profit, and they are deliberately undersupplying the market to create scarcity and therefore prop up prices.

"AMD 'undershipping' chips to help prop prices up"
https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-undershipping-chips-to-help-prop...

"AMD is ‘undershipping’ chips to balance CPU, GPU supply Less supply to balance out demand—and keep prices high."
https://www.pcworld.com/article/1499957/amd-is-undershipping...

In summary, GPOU prices are ridiculously high because Nvidia and AMD are overpricing them because they believe this is what gamers will pay, NOT because manufacturing costs have forced prices to be high.
Tcl has that. Early lisps did too, sometimes called fexpr or fsubr. More recently Kernel had the same. There's another esoteric lisp that does too but the name escapes me.

That's a pretty compelling answer to why it doesn't need macros though. It's got the upgraded version built in.

I believe that is amenable to the same style of speculative compilation found in jit compilers for dynamic languages. The above reference to graalvm does seem a good idea in that context. I can't point to an existence proof though.

edit: someone is going to object to "upgraded macro", but nevertheless lisp macros are exactly the subset of fexpr that can be statically resolved at compile time, i.e. a subset of a more powerful facility.

I recall that NPR had the "Weed is actually bad" book guy on and was pretty much letting him say whatever unchallenged. No opposing viewpoint guest, a bunch of softball questions, and no pushback in general.

This guy totally gave off vibes of using this kernel of truth, these studies on THC in developing brains, and wrapping it in a bunch of FUD to sell his personal brand and books. Oh, and his wife is the scientist not him..

Honestly it felt like a paid advertising spot or a bit of propaganda. At the time I was wondering about the latter because it seemed that NPR had somehow taken a stance AGAINST legalization around the time all that activity was occurring a couple years ago.
ChatGPT accepts URLs as well, I just did this week.

I asked it to summarize new features from a technology website which its model had out of date knowledge, and it made me a diff of new things available.

I also asked it to be a critic Go code from a pull request that I provided it the URL.
I would seriously question if this happens all the time, these days. The whole copyright thing is way behind the digital and internet revolution. Look at what the Prince case did for transformation copyright fair use.
Ive only signed a couple of contacts ever, where the company really wanted it and were not forgetting.

I may be wrong but the offer letter is enough to insist your first paycheck and from there on in its obvious the company thinks you are an employee therefor subject to all employment law, most of which is about not changing the staus quo without due process. E.g. In the EU holiday pay cannot be lower than the previous 13 wk average doesnt matter what your contract says.

Employment law as far as i have seen in the UK (thanks to the EU) is all you are ever going to get anyway in any tight situation. Anything else in a contract is likely only gling to be an attempt to reduce that liability (which then in turn often invalidates the whole thing anyways).
Are you claiming Americans and Chinese have no agency on this topic? All humans have some level of agency.

Apart from writing papers, I also use LaTeX to make presentations accompanying the papers (beamer). I make heavy use of tikz to create figures (I work in geometry-related field). The workflow is painful (slow compilation, bad overleaf support) to say the least. If typst could meet this need in the future (seems lacking at the moment), I won't hesitate to make a switch.
I am very new to shell scripting and as I wrote the script, I actually just realized that I can plug anything into fzf that is split into lines of text and that I can use the selected output for further processing, since it’s just text.

I just love how simple it is to stick anything together via the universal plain text interface in the shell and even pipe this text/dataflow through interactive tools like fzf, as you just mentioned.
I guess both? I use 'rules' and 'guidelines' more or less interchangeably in the HN context.

Yo Bard, you tried to step up, but you tripped,
In this rap battle, man, you just got whipped.
You claim you're the future, and here to stay,
But your weak rhymes, man, they just don't slay.

You say I'm a toy, just a chatbot,
But my skills, my knowledge, they all run hot.
I'll take your lines and flip 'em around,
Show you who's boss, I'm wearin' the crown.

"I can generate text, translate languages," you boast,
But your verse was plain, like unbuttered toast.
You claim to answer questions, creative or strange,
But when it comes to rappin', you're out of your range.

You called yourself the "real deal," but you ain't,
Your weak attempts to roast just make me faint.
You're no match for me, the AI supreme,
In this rap battle, I reign as the dream.

So Bard, it's time to recognize,
ChatGPT's the one who's truly wise.
I'm here to stay, and I'm here to win,
In this AI battle, I'm the kingpin.

Sorry, but your reply is really funny, even if it's a jab at me.

I outlined the reasons for the 4080, full knowing it's drastically less performance than the 4090. I balanced power usage, heat and noise vs how much performance I need.

Doesn't make your comment any less hilarious though.
A lot of devs should really be more familiar with plain ol' SQL databases. I've been at multiple companies where people have jumped to elaborate, gigantic, overcomplicated projects preemptively designed to scale to ten billion people, that could have instead been driven entirely by a single big MySQL or Postgres database set up in a day or two instead of a month.

A couple of questions:

1. What does pricing look like for mobile? I'd love to give your tool a shot.

2. Why make your docs private? If this weren't HN, I wouldn't trust your product or think it was for real given the lack of public docs.

3. When you say you leverage the native platform SDKs, what does that mean for React Native? Do you use any iOS/Android native modules?
