I may keep my 17 Golf R for a loooong time. Perfect Goldilocks car.

Last year with physical tach and speedo, first year with adaptive cruise.

And it’s a mk7 so it still has buttons for most things.

Oh and it’s a manual, which is getting obnoxiously hard to find on anything.
Unless I am misunderstanding the document, they aren't claiming to be able to read a document and tell you who wrote it. They claim they have a massive database of when documents have been shared and then they go back to find the original source that way. Like chainalysis for evil people.
That was absolutely fascinating, thank you. I previously didn't understand what the Nitro term meant, really

That substack user is not doing themselves any favors by not advertising the price of subscription, though. If it's "reasonable," I would for sure have signed up, but "give us your email and we'll think of a price" is some hubris
Which is why you should be wary of talking about “trends” on TikTok like they’re universal because it reflects your own tastes scary well.
They do have a history of cheaping on parts. When we had a KIA, all sorts of problems with CV joints, and power steering components, all expiring around 130,000km or so. Just lower quality seals & parts on drivetrain components, that lasted just until out of drivetrain warranty, if I recall.

Their EVs seem well built, from watching Sandy Munro videos, anyways. (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igFytqIMp0A)

But they're also so-far all in the upper tier of price ranges. Nobody is really making a 'budget' EV yet, apart from maybe GM with the Bolt.
You can take your eyes of the road for a little bit my man. You do it all the time anyway when checking mirrors. Yes, knobs and sliders would be better but this is a good compromise vs exclusive screens.

Also, as per the other content: you can type and remember 100+ buttons.
Especially since many distros use old kernels, getting the drivers in months before release means stuff will just work no matter which distro.
From the diff it looks like they already had a test case for this? Is this actually adding anything new?
This is a similar problem with ChatGPT and AI in general. While some things may not change much, you can't generally say "how do I x in .NET" without the chance of getting a really old answer.
Geo-ip?

Joking.
It's disruption from below. It radically drops the cost of doing simple/forumlaic things, probably/possibly.

But so far, to me, these are all cool amazing demos, but none of them at all mirror the real challenges of working significant & interesting systems. There's a real chance that means significant job loss. Maybe this is a "I never thought the leopards would eat my face" mistake, and it has some ego to it, but I personally cant imagine wanting to do any of the work these systems have done.

Code tends to be kind of long journeys, iterative, and we've seen from ML what, so far to me, look mostly like boilerplate-generators and modest-tweakers. I cant imagine spending months building product with one, it being a coworker. We're in a new day, but I've been preaching a book that meant so much to me, After the Internet: Alien Intelligence (2001), which is pretty wild & course & miscellaneous & not super gripping, but sold an interesting core message to me of expert intelligences that are in their own realm. That have incredible powers, but which are unintelligble & vast & distant. Right now these coursely trained ML systems have a lot of embedded expertise, but whether they can show up again and again and become a useful ongoing part of workflow, can work with existing systems & ideas, is very much unknown & tbd.

So, yes, I agree:

idk I saw a paper which had in the abstract "despite the astonishing successes of quantum mechanics", which honestly sounds fair.

The reply wasn't directed at DragonFly, but simply an answer to parent. I think you got a lot of sticks on HN. [1] In case you are wondering, I am much closer to Laymen in my definition of Open Source so I am actually extremely supportive of BSL. A perfect balance of Business Needs and Open Source. But HN has gotten a lot more ideological than it used to be. So please keep up the good work.

[1] Part of the reason why I submitted Dragonfly, interesting technology should get more coverage on HN, and not be ignored simply because of some over zealotry ideological reason.
I'm gonna assume it just lies based on the jurisdiction.

Sounds like generator-adversary training with extra steps.
> Nextjs (and its contemporaries) work really well with .NET. Toss in your API calls into Next, write a beautiful front end, and now you've got separate front end and back end that works phenomenally together and can be tested separately using their strengths.

Is it somehow different than using any other language for your backend? Seems to me you're describing any frontend/backend split, nothing specific to either Nextjs or .NET here.

> I'm more shocked by you sticking with Javascript. Surely with your adoration of C# you would have moved to its closely related sibling Typescript. Although I guess there is that slight initial hump to move to TS from a purely vanilla project.

Some people prefer to stick with vanilla JS because that's what the browser ends up running anyways. Personally, TypeScript tends to get more in the way than be helpful for certain type of projects, while for others, TypeScript helps a lot but tends to be when the codebase involves a lot of contributors of varying skill-levels rather than a small circle of contributors with relatively high knowledge of programming and JavaScript in particular.
You can already give MJ a reference image, just by putting the URL of the image as the first thing after the imagine prompt and before the text description
I do not believe this is the first PR made by a LLM, is it? If not, why is this notable?
It powers the web, because there are no other options. If JS was good, people would use it for other things.

Terminal apps, trading algos, operating systems, compilers, embedded, databases, etc etc.

JS is never the best tool for the job. But sometimes, it's the only one.
Is tab-typing vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf by hand really that much extra effort?

Or, for this specific example, remember standard config file convention?
Everything but the debugger sadly
I like `<editor> <ctrl-t>`; ctrl-t opens fzf and pastes any selected files onto the command line. If you choose to abort you end up back at the prompt after `<editor> `.
Is that like Tauri except it’s dotnet instead of rust?
Our current one is deeply thoughtful. Such a contrast. A true statesman.
Startup Journey from Budsies
I don't listen to Joe Rogan podcast, but one day I stumbled upon an interview to Oliver Stone and was instantly glued to him, a mix of wacky and elocuent.
Interesting, but this doesn’t prove it rigorously
I’m not with the haters here, I think this is a very clever solution that encodes a lot of information concisely. Human beings have an amazing ability to understand symbology no matter how complex and while it might take a few days for folks to get used to it, once they do it’ll be simple and intuitive. I don’t buy the arguments here that it’s cryptic - labeling a bus M74 tells me nothing and is a totally opaque synthetic identifier that requires a lookup in a table i may not have. Knowing my destination symbol I can quickly ascertain from this scheme if this bus is one I want. Someone pointed out though that many lines can service the same stop and some are more optimal than others. So I think you need to encode some ordering somehow, which I know adds another element of information to encode.
Eventually solar and wind will be so inexpensive that most homes will generate and store all it needs and not require the grid. There are already roof mountable wind turbines that can be used in urban areas with no visible moving parts such as the Halcium PowerPod: https://youtu.be/vg7wW2nnrPU
If instead of asking a physicist you turn to a historian of science (that is a person deriving authority by virtue of being a subject matter expert instead of from being a rich programmer) you get something like the following story:

> It was attributed to her, but—as Herschel hinted—Babbage may have had an input; it is impossible to know how much. Most famously, one of her additional notes, G, sets out a table for calculating what are called the Bernoulli numbers, which carry great mathematical significance. Even if she was solely responsible for it, the chart is not a program, but shows the stages that would occur in a pre-programmed machine if one existed.

> Heroes are made, not born. If computer scientists feel they need a 19th-century ancestor, then perhaps Herman Hollerith should supplant Babbage? To tabulate the US census, Hollerith invented eponymous punched cards which are still being used 100 years later—and he also founded a company that became the international giant IBM.

> And as a female role model, the American mathematics graduate Grace Hopper seems eminently more suitable than London’s flighty Victorian socialite. A rear admiral in the US Navy during the Second World War, this programming pioneer gave her name to a powerful supercomputer. Hopper revolutionised the digital world by insisting that instead of forcing people to communicate in symbolic code, computers should be taught to speak English. She also made a permanent mark on the English language—the term “debugging” was coined after she removed a moth that had flown inside some circuitry.

> Right now EF Core is probably the best ORM that has ever existed. What exactly is missing?

Wish I could agree but they would have to fix the very slow time to first query when using big models (+500 tables in our case). Compiled models is not a solution for us since our model changes a lot and the compilation is just as slow. It's disappointing because it used to work fine under the ancient Linq2SQL library.
I always forget about that. Excellent point.

Personally I’ve just adapted to using my phone all the time instead of listening to podcasts on my laptop, so I haven’t felt the need.

But it’s a great tip for others.
Frontends often have a much shorter lifetime than backends. A good example are banks, they change the online banking frontend approximately every 10 years, but a lot of backend systems are running since the 80s/90s without complete rewrites.

It makes a lot of sense to decouple them, and just re-write the frontend to whatever technology is the best for its time. It’s also not uncommon to have multiple frontends, for example a web application and also a native android/iOS app.
"Our app was seamlessly upgraded from .NET 3.5 SP1 to .NET 4.0 and through to .NET 4.8.2. I don't believe you when you say it won't immediately run on .NET 5.0. My PS5 plays PS4 games.

Public transit users in practice have some aversion to transfers.

* people don’t like waiting, and often perceive waits as longer than they actually are, particularly if they’re uncomfortable

* a scheduled connection is one thing, but missing a connection is stressful, and compounds the first factor

* people are lazy and like being comfortable. If I get a seat on the first bus I take, do I want to give it up and potentially be forced to stand on the second one?

Various places model this differently, but IIRC the most “friendly” transit planning model in North America assumes 1 minute of connection to be equivalent to 1.75 minutes of motion time.
How? ChatGPT did not send the PR and cannot ingest a whole repo. I assume the author picked and fed it the 4 affected files, making it less “ChatGPT submitted a PR” and more “I used ChatGPT to write this code and text” which is pretty ordinary right now.
> There's so many such "roadblocks" in de-googlification that you inevitably give up at some point.

If your explicit goal is to have a modern phone without Google specifically, you really should consider Apple.
What about GIMP?
Yup. Additionally, unpredictable buttons are worse than a predictable touchscreen.

Buttons should be unique visually and by shape, and perform as you expect them to (no eating/missing/etc inputs).
It is a nice analogy because you can expand it really to all history of technological progress. Tools help make tools - all the way back to obsidian daggers and sticks.
Sure, but to operate well you need to be able to hire top talent (and therefore pay top dollar) and you need to give them the freedom to do what they think best without being micromanaged, both things that require a level of public trust. This seems to be one of those "multiple stable equilibria" problems - a government that is trusted can be effective and justify that trust, a government that is mistrusted will be ineffective and justify that mistrust.
Ask HN: How productive are you with ChatGPT 4 without history?
I’ve been trying to get gpt4 to help with a basic python script to clean up wine messy html, and due to it erasing the history I’m having to paste the entire script with every few prompts so it doesn’t wander off and write something useless.

However, if I paste in too much it locks out the text box and tells me to refresh.

This resets the history.

For a productivity tool it’s kind of funny having to teach myself how to work around complete feature breakage and service degradation for it. Goldldfish memory more might actually be wasting my time!
I still have a bottle of 'New Old Stock' GM whale oil for the rear differential in my old GTO. GM positraction in those old muscle cars relied on the stuff.
This is one mark I have against C#, it is not very stock vim friendly (plug-ins likely exist however). IDE support is almost a requirement for C#. I find Python better in this regard.

You can always use vs code however.
"High quality" in HN terms means it's not just a couple of words or a meme, isn't glaringly false or advertising or particularly off topic or antagonistic.

"Feedback" that isn't actually feedback, syntheses of other people's comments that claim to be a new person adding their agreement, anecdotes that didn't happen, little known facts that aren't true and pseudo-recommendations that are actually derived largely from the product marketing copy will usually pass this filter, but they're definitely noise

My point is nothing your saying is new or specific to OpenAI. These are problems with Capitalism and its influence over populations.

It is an important conversation, but a distinct and orthogonal conversation that is distracted by involving AI.
I have one of his Klein Steins. The packaging it came in from the States was as much fun as the contents.
Java I could go back to. Spring (or more specifically Hibernate) I have no intention to use again. It's a 20 year old solution to a 1990s problem.
Are you able to share the main differences between yourselves and Userflow (https://userflow.com/)? Watching the video looked pretty similar.
Recurring revenue vs one time purchase. Not saying this is the case, but we see the obvious attraction to recurring revenue from most software companies.
Those sites are a fraction of DPReview's content.

In all seriousness, where is DPReview's content going? Forums of over 1,000,000 posts. Solid reviews of older cameras. All gone, hopefully to some archival site.

It's really surprising to see that content just disappear. Reminds me I need to backup my hard drive...

FreeBSD support has been in the works for a while:

- https://wiki.freebsd.org/.NET

- https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/14537
If you populate the prompt with some context it can become highly accurate:

- billing/ordering/anything clerical: add the product catalog and customer details to the prompt

- customer support: add the entire support manual and customer history to the prompt, use devices like prompt tools to allow the model to pull in data from external systems

- sales/pre-sales: the "internet sales" team of car dealerships can be replaced with gpt

- medical billing/transcription: this one should be pretty obvious

- anything where customer communication/status is needed (half the job of a project manager)

- paralegal: prompt with details of document to be drawn up, which is then reviewed by a lawyer

- journalism/copywriting/editing: should be obvious

- admins/assistants

In some cases a role is completely replaced. In others, it allows for fewer people to support the same or higher output. People supervise the model and catch any errors rather than handle each task directly.
“It’s Just a Website“
Very off-topic, but I have to relate this incident. I was hitchhiking up the US East Coast in the spring of 1983, and stopped in Washington, D.C. While there, I picked up an ammo can from a Army Surplus store (it seemed cool, never used it for anything, still have it).

While walking around DC I met a guy who worked in the Capitol, and he invited me into his building. At the entrance, there was a security post checking bags. They patted down the sides of my backpack, but never even looked inside the ammo can.

I guess it was too obvious.
>you'll see there has always been good people to keep things in balance

I’d be careful of anyone who says they’re a “postgres expert”; I respond the way I respond to self-proclaimed C++ experts: “oh yeah? tell me more”

Most are novices that have no idea how far the rabbit hole goes. I’ve been using postgres for about 25 years and every time I go to implement something with it I learn something new. I’m intermediate at best, and I’ve done things like rewrite the postgres wire protocols from scratch for internal use cases. This is especially true when I lean on the DB to take on new interesting roles (e.g. adding new operators for custom indexing of custom types, extending existing types in novel ways, adding new access methods, fun with foreign data wrappers, complex PITR and logical replication strats).
Good to hear it was made that easy. Last Prius I rented there was no way to display km/h and Toyota’s official response was “just buy next year’s model”.
Nope, it can't.

Detecting AI-generated text is an adversarial process. Meaning there are going to exist people interested in avoiding detection. This just ensures there is never going to be a reliable solution. There will be some solutions but none that will be reliable.

We still have counterfeit banknotes and email spam. Seems like super easy problem to fix but there are always some banknotes and always some email spam that avoid detection. And this is simply because whenever somebody finds a way to close the current hole, somebody else finds a way to open another.
I possess a very short domain on a widely used older TLD, and even that causes some interesting validation bugs like ‘email domain cannot be less than 6 characters’ for example…

If only there were some widely documented standard for validating an email address instead of a perl regex passed around campfires since 1979.
I don't think anyone on HN is going to come out of reading that feeling less confused.

You lost me at calling AI an “advance”. I think that’s a speculative statement that has yet to earn the positive bias it entails.
> 1. The results of this study are about long-term treatment, not a single dose.

DMT acts on the HTR2A and HTR2C receptors. When you activate HTR2C receptors at high levels the nerves respond by changing the number HTR2C receptors. This is called having an "effect of receptor density".

You can read about it in this study: (I know what you are going to say, that this proves one cannot get habituated to DMT But that is wrong adn you will need to read the second study to understand why.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00913...

Because drug efficacy changes with receptor density and cellular microenvironment, we also examined the properties of DMT in native preparations using a behavioral and biochemical approach."

One difference was evident in that the 5-HT2C, but not the 5-HT2A, receptor showed a profound desensitization to DMT over time. This difference is interesting in light of the recent report that the hallucinogenic activity of DMT does not tolerate in humans and suggests the 5-HT2C receptor plays a less prominent role in the action of DMT.

https://www.cureus.com/articles/62522-5-ht1a-and-5-ht2a-sign...

Furthermore, abnormal receptor density ratios are strongly associated with positive and negative symptom severity, which are typically assessed using the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms

In addition, Hurlemann et al. (2007) proposed that 5-HT2A receptor density was also decreased in the At-Risk Mental State patient subgroup, regardless of conversion to psychosis [4]. The progressive decline in subcortical 5-HT2A receptor density could provide an indicator of conversion to schizophrenia.

> That is your interpretation (with no evidence.)

That is what is called a hypothesis. Do you ever have an original insight or do you just walk around nixing creative thought because no one ever thought of it before?

I mean you focus only on the study and you cannot see the connection because you so myopic.

> Well that's impressive. May I ask what your h-index is?

It is people like you who keep science in the dark ages.

As another Clojure programmer, I say you should care about developments in Java. After all, the Java module system is precisely why classes became minefields with clojure.core/bean -- illegal reflective accesses and what not.

As someone else noted in this comment section, a lot of useful Clojure libraries are wrappers over Java libraries. So improvements to Java used in these libraries are good for you, too.

Can't argue with that, given they are 2 different metrics.
Each financial crisis gets progressively worse. Eventually will come one that we can't escape. That will make the Great Depression of the 1930s look like a picnic.

Yeah, I had like $4k left in a brokerage account. Then one month I noticed ~$100+ dropped in there and I was like WTF? That's 10x what I see in my savings account for the same amount of money just sitting there! So my money market is now my savings account. The risk is that you could lose your principal...but I guess not anymore!?! Thanks SVB, FRC, et al.
