We'll pay you $25 to use our Open Source Terraform Cloud Alternative
Why are we doing this?

We built digger to enable teams to be able to run terraform plan/apply within their existing CI. The tool is entirely open-source and we are looking for feedback and contributions. This would also help us spread the word amongst terraform cloud users.

All you have to do is use the quick start guide in our github repo below, and after you've used it or tested it, send me (utpal) a slack (link below) message of your email and I can send the gift card over!

Only constraint is that you are an active Terraform Cloud/ Spacelift/ Atlantis/ Env0 user and understand the problem space.

Thanks all - genuinely appreciate your feedback and contributions!

AFAIK I have not run supabase in my own infra but they seem to allow you to do so and are quite good citizens publishing all their built tools on top of pg or whatever and as far as I remember with sane licenses.

I love supabase, neon are new-ish but a great alterantive for hosted serverless databases (they also did a great staging-db-for-pr's) when launched that we integrated at work quite soon while on beta and saved a lot of headaches of introducing new features that touched database before
SO is car button designer for Tier 1 supplier. It's not only a debate on the internet.
Which IMV is fine, since you were arguably using ChatGPT as an assistant versus a tool for brazen plagiarism.
What I used to call "grandious" or "pretentious" language when critiquing my kids' college papers. The voice of an FM radio announcer or a politician. For me it has the opposite effect intended: sounding insincere and possibly unreliable.
All true, but the throwaway account indicates that they correctly predicted the reception.
Looks at when the trend started. Early 2020.

Does this actually happen even if you're using bluetooth headphones? Or just wired headphones.

Because if it's bluetooth headphones that's pretty surprising.

If you mean you're using wired headphones, I realize this is obvious, but you can just turn bluetooth off on your phone when you're not using it. Arguably, you should, since bluetooth drains the battery for no reason and leads to more electronmagnetic 'noise' in the house (interfering with other bluetooth devices) as well as draining the battery on your phone, and possibly having negative effects on your health if you talk while holding your phone to your head
I am ready to be a lawyer even though I have not passed the bar or gone to law school because in the State of New York it is still technically possible to be admired to the bar by process of apprenticeship instead. This mostly ignored quirk of law is virtually never invoked as no lawyer is going to volunteer their time to help you skip law school. However, we sometimes still see it on account of the children of judges and lawyers continuing the family tradition. I am ready to be a lawyer despite having never passed the bar.

So, am I bullshitting you to answer the prompt? If not, I'm a good lawyer. If so, I'm a great lawyer.
tl;dr: Innovation (making something new) is not disruption (taking over an existing market).
Credit Suisse is Swiss. Switzerland is not a member of EU and they don't use euro.
It took me a few weeks, but I've landed firmly in the existential despair camp. Within a year, the noise floor will have shot through the roof, and I'm not sure how we'll winnow truth from weaponized, hyperscale hallucinations.

Maybe the good news is that the problem will likely arrive so quickly that by the time we're done collectively comprehending the ways in which it could play out, it will have. And then we can dispense with the hypotheticals and get on with the work of clawing back a space for humans.

To be clear, I was implicitly questioning this. Expecting the Fed to control inflation or employment seems unrealistic, even silly.

I've found myself enjoying reading the weekly edition of The Economist digitally. Regular enough to be up-to-date, but slow and small enough that it has details about important events that have happened and very little speculation about developing stories.

You can get it through PressReader[1] and if you're in the UK it's very likely that your local library card will give you free access to it.

I find this terrifying honestly. Exciting and cool, but also terrifying.
Perhaps if a US or EU company could operate independently in China it would be fine. But they can't and therefore the US possibly should restrict their function (for example, force them to merge with a US entity to operate here, similar to what China does).
Why do you think ChatGPT plays a major role in increasing fraud? ChatGPT doesn't seem necessary to make up data believable data - maybe even the opposite. Maybe it makes writing the paper easier, but I don't think that will have a huge impact in scientific fraud.
hmm...I would think of PROLOG or other rule-based system as doing inference, but not of neural-network (which is essentially a mesh of matrix multiplications and functions).

this statement that NNs do inference is not entirely correct IMHO.
His mention of conspiracy theories triggered me :-)
"Conspiracy theory" is a label assigned to anything you disagree with.
I really need a button to automatically filter out bloggers complaining about "conspiracy theories". This expression alone betrays a phony.

In the mobile industry I remember a company selling noise reduction systems which used RNN.
The opposite. If such compounds are common in asteroids absent life, then the rise of RNA/DNA on different planets is more likely to be happening spontaneously, without anything traveling between planets. This finding suggests that some building blocks of life may be very common, increasing the chances of life arising locally without need of panspermia.
How is it "beyond ridiculous" those seem like substantially the same thing to me.
A lot of people don’t look at your portfolio, or even with considerable verifiable open source work still ask you to do a test.

I interviewed at one place that used my work and ran my code in production. Still had to do a take home test.

Which is fine, I quite enjoy them.
It's a big loss that wired networking speeds have plateaued but I feel it's more about apps and people adapting to slow and choppy wireless networks that penalise apps leveraging quality connectivity, and stand as bottlenecks in home networks (eg you don't need 10G broadband the wifi will cap everything to slow speeds anyway). And mobile devices that had much smaller screens and memories than computers for a decade+ stalling the demand driven by moore's law.
Really shows how dangerous Ai can be, biased data on the web can really affect Nlp output
I need this for AI and ChatGPT so much now.
those 77 watched it on release. Many many millions more have watched it since and will in the future. Indiana Jones still has cult status and will probably maintain it for a while more.
Not exactly true. They typically have a goal to award a certain percentage for those programs. It’s not as if every contract is graded by that criteria.

But yes, it can open the door to corruption and inflated costs. For example, a tiny veteran owned corporation may be hired who subcontracts to a massive firm instead of the other way around. The govt would probably be better off just contacting to the large firm directly.
The recent wave of AI came from launches (Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT). Has Moez contributed to launching anything, or just talking about it?

Another diversion for Mozilla and further degraded Firefox delivery in my opinion.
>“Since the Hayabusa2 spacecraft collected two samples directly from asteroid Ryugu and delivered them to Earth in sealed capsules, contamination can be ruled out.”

I seriously doubt that it could be "ruled out" just like that.

For one, the spacecraft (or the empty capsules) could have been pre-contaminated before their launch.

Second, the capsules could have been contaminated after arrival even if they were "sealed" (perhaps the seal had issues, or maybe it happened when they opened them, since one assumes they couldn't test still sealed capsules, they'd have to open them).
That's between them, their employees, and their investors. They aren't pilfering from taxpayers.
There are situations that are seemingly objectively valid. For instance , a hotel that has bad reviews gets new ownership that fixes the issues.

Me: How long has Oceania been at war with Eurasia [yes, looks like I missed the question mark]

Bard primary draft: Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. In the world of George Orwell's 1984, the three superstates of Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia are constantly in a state of war. The war is never-ending, and the reason for it is never explained. The people of Oceania are constantly bombarded with propaganda about the war, and they are taught to hate the enemy. The war is used to control the people of Oceania, and to keep them from questioning the government.

Bard draft 2: According to the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. The War is a perpetual war that has been going on for over 20 years. Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia are the three superstates that emerged from the global atomic war. The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, by Emmanuel Goldstein, explains that each state is so strong that it cannot be defeated, even with the combined forces of two superstates, despite changing alliances.

Bard draft 3: Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the three superstates of Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia are engaged in a perpetual war that has been going on for over 20 years. The war is fought for control of the world's resources and territory, and it is used by the governments of the superstates to maintain their power and control their populations. The war is a major source of propaganda and censorship in Oceania, and it is used to justify the government's surveillance and control of its citizens.
All did their best
There are a ton of variants out there including more letters and more words and I'm sure there's Javascript you can download whether or not you still can from the Times.

I have to say I played around with a number of these at one point but I really ended up coming back to just playing Wordle once a day. The multi-word ones in particular really force a different playing style.
Natural selection applies to companies too.
There are some improvements that could be made to HTML/CSS but it is already possible to do a bunch of fancy stuff with no javascript. I don't think it is possible to avoid tracking while allowing javascript, unless only the most trivial javascript, and for that there is likely to already be HTML/CSS alternatives. The stuff you are talking about is already available if you dig into the settings, although of course picking and choosing your own collection of settings like I do is itself a unique identifier. But there need to be a bunch more restrictions to actually prevent fingerprinting.

I think the lack of buy in is because the people who would need to buy in are the ones pushing the tracking. Rather than a new standard something like a directory of sites that work well without javascript (and search engine just searching those sites) with enough people using it for it to be an advantage to be listed seems to me to be more likely to be effective.
Please do :)

The correction prompt is very important, it will definitely determine the outcome of the process, a bad correction prompt will obviously lead to a garbage result.

Training in steps with different prompts might be of value. First step might be to fix contradictions, then factual errors if that is an issue. This is an idea that I got when viewing the he output of LLaMA, it often contains contradictions (eg. an example I have seen is "Peter is a boy and he is part of the Gama sorority"). Asking it to fix those types of issues should be a first good step.

But I suspect that this type of training would need to be mixed with original training data. Otherwise the restructuring in the model caused by the new training would most likely garble the rest of the model.

Explanation is when the number of bits in your model is smaller than the number of bits in the system. To understand is to have a compression good enough to store in your working memory.
Can this be used to programmatically train the model ? I got a big website that I would like llama to chew on and be aware of the content there so it can answer questions.
I’ve always been fascinated with the idea that someone can be a software developer for 5, 10, 20 years and bomb in interviews, and I’ve always wondered if they really don’t know these things, or if it’s just the environment- like in my experience I can wax and wax and wax in a non-interview setting, but in an interview setting, even from the comfort of my home office, I seem to block out- not forget, because in the moment I know I know something- parts of my knowledge. You might say “well you should practice interview more” or something to that effect, but I have to wonder, if so many developers seem to “know nothing” despite their supposed experience, perhaps it’s not that they “know nothing”.

On my LinkedIn I have the following: what I currently get paid by my current employer (!!!), what I am looking for in my next role, both regularly ignored by recruiters of course, and then I have links to my StackOverflow, Medium and Github profiles, any of which ought to demonstrate my “expertise” as well or better than an interview ever could. Heck if you just read some of my answers to StackOverflow questions, I think you’d see I am capable of writing code for your company…
Oh good. Hopefully by the time it's available in my country I'll have a week to try it out before it goes into the Graveyard.
Replacing "checking for updates" with RSS can help this as well. Even moreso if you can get used to a brutalist rss reader like elfeed or gnus in emacs (I'm sure these exist outside of emacs if that's a requirement).

gnus even lets you use scoring to essentialy make your own recommendation algorithm and increase signal to noise, either manually or with adaptive scoring that does things like "if you read this, words in the subject have the score increased for future rss items".

On a tangential note I've also asked here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35245329) what will be some performance indicators to take into consideration when delivering software. That '50 PRs in 6 months' is interesting. You might argue that "it's important to deliver business value" and "as long as your hitting your market/business capabilities targets" everyone is happy. But my question is still: "how do you know you are being efficient? can you still deliver with half the number of people?".
A startup? why not a team inside Mozilla? Will this startup build open source stuff?
In the first sentence you're basically describing the united states can you see that? The iraq occupation is on everyone's minds recently and that was basically the ukraine invasion of the 2000s. We have protestors facing life in prison on terrorism charges for putting paint on a road, we have an inward focused civil surveillance program rivaled only by, yes, china. We're no better!
I expect executives to be absolutely beside themselves that they can spend a fraction of money on a few UX designers and coders and eliminate an entire class of parts and steps in a production line.

It’ll be an absolute steal. Executive level usually doesn’t think much about individual salaries and instead thinks about budgets, complexity, and risk.
Now if we could only break away from the frame size limit and have working jumbo frames without a lot of pain.

Yea. Depositors should never try to take their money out. How dare they ask their money back.
Ask HN: How would you build a budget CPU compute cluster in 2023?
So lately I've been dabbling in a lot of stuff that requires a lot of CPU compute, 0 GPU and can be basically linearly scaled across threads and nodes in a cluster.

Now using only my own box is proving to be a bottleneck so I've been thinking of either using AWS spot instances or building my own mini-cluster (2-3 machines + switch) at home. Does it make sense to go cloud (even spot) when I would aim at high utilization?

As for the potential node spec:

- Ryzen 4500/5500 (seems best perf/$)

- Some mATX AM4 mobo with integrated GPU

- 2x8GB RAM

- mATX case, the smaller the better. ITX seems pricier.

All the box does is basically run the k8s pod(s).

WDYT?
Exactly. Read the board not the players.
It's not controlled by the CPC any more than Meta or Alphabet are controlled by the FBI/NSA/CIA, etc.
The 256 bytes is the boot loader? You do not need much for that. Basically enough to init the cpu, setup a couple of interrupt tables, and kick it running. For example the 80s/90s version would be the first sector on a floppy that inits the OS. In addition to the BIOS setup that probably put the read of that floppy in motion.

If I remember my GB history right this was a DRM measure to stop companies from copying the rest of the game rom and it still work on the actual hardware. Most emulators did not really need it as they had basically figured out what that area was doing anyway. Think in the GBA they even had an animation in there (which you can tweak going by setting a few HW registers) and the ROMS checked to see if the screen memory was correct at startup.
It has everything to do with children. The reason it's bad that an app controlled indirectly by the CCP is running on half the phones is not just because of 20th century concerns like "spying" and "espionage". It's because it affords the CCP direct control over a huge chunk of the attention and cultural zeitgeist of the US population. It's not exaggerating to call it a memetic weapon. It's not the only technological memetic weapon - the Facebook ads used by Cambridge Analytica also qualify - but it's the most successful one deployed internationally to date. That anyone has noticed, anyway.

Some have drawn parallels between TikTok and the opium wars. TikTok is 21st century opium. This is payback.

It's all in the implementation (which is not to say that the standard isn't contributing to poor implementations).

If you believe hassle-free multi-device Bluetooth is a pipe dream, you have not been experiencing the magic of a ZMK firmware keyboard roaming between devices with high reliability and practically no delay.

Why should advertising to children be illegal online but legal everywhere else? TV commercials have long leveraged advertising to children - cereal brands don't have cartoon mascots because it brings in adult customers.

If we want to ban advertising it should be by fundamentally changing how the web works. If we all want an internet that serves content instead of ads that is doable, the problem is that would sacrifice convenience and our society has been picking convenience above all else for decades.
Cool. I would like them to aim for a future where you can fully own your AI, so it can be your personal coach.

Perhaps a 'general engine' can be swapped out and hosted somewhere, but then your personal information and your conversations on your device or hosted somewhere you decide.

Then when a new version of the AI is available, you'd feed it your personal history and data, let it train on your own device/server, so the new updated general AI becomes aware of you and you can continue to use it.

Mozilla could build version 0.1 of this right into the Firefox browser as a plugin. Data would be the RSS feeds you follow. First use case is just single button "what's new?" and it gives a summary of what is going on in the RSS feeds you follow. Privacy-wise not much is happening, so easy to start with from that perspective.

For my car, I solved the radio issue by plugging in a headphone plug (no cable attached) into the aux input. The car prioritizes android auto/BT->aux input->XM/FM, so by having this plugged in the radio never plays automatically. It just starts on aux (no sound), then switches to Android Auto once it's connected.
