"SBOM" == software bill of materials?

Another possible adaptation might be a return to the concept of third-party introductions and vouchers.

This borrows in part on the PGP Web of Trust notion (which ... has its severe limitations and implications), as well as the "Yale Wall" notion from Lawrence Lessig's Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace", in which anonymous* posts to a physical bulletin board on the Yale campus would be left posted if they had been signed vouched by some third party, essentially indicating that the content was worth viewing.

(HN's own "vouch" feature seems to have echos of this.)

Letters of introduction or credit (a common feature of 19th century novels, see Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo) would of course require some modern scaffolding and reenforcement, but seem one possible option. It should also be noted that even a vouched or introduced entity or communication need not be a trusted or trustworthy one. Betrayals and turns of allegiance are as old as history (Aleric I, sacking Rome, Enkidu in the Epic of Gilgamesh, ...). But as a probabalistic measure of trust they are useful.

Attestations and elements of personal knowledge offer some assurance, though as Klein and Kelsey Parker note, a well-known columnist and podcaster who's shared many details of their private life might have difficulty in distinguishing a trustworthy vs. malevolent interlocutor.

While I'm not convinced on the utility of 3D printing a cylinder (I think they have plans for more complicated lifting body type shapes in the future), it's great to see more players in the game!

As an aside, I'd love to know what alloy they're using. I know NASA had problems with fusion welding 2195 and had to switch to friction stir welding.
Despite your name-calling, I'm pretty sure you and I actually agree.
“I can even tow 15 tons with it without any problems,” Beutler said, adding that he is planning a trip to the Baltic Sea in the summer.

I have trouble envisioning this. How could a ~2.5 ton human powered device tow a 15 ton load safely? My rather elementary understanding of physics would suggest to me that it can't stop quickly, or maybe not at all, if it's on an incline
Fair questions. NPR really should have included both the details and a direct link to the source.
> so they can feed their families.

You are free. But you are only free to sell your labor.
This.

Reminder: Legal lending from libraries has artificial restrictions on how many digital copies can be "checked out" at a time, and libraries are paying for the privilege of lending out books. I don't know the details or if those lending privileges are perpetual the same way a physical copy would be, but that's what's happening.

If you are viewing books legally, someone somewhere is getting money. Who gets what is another question (Kindle unlimited, for example.)
I think, ironically, you just like the hecklers fail to understand that you can find somebody highly objectionable but still defend their right to speech. She was trying to make that distinction.

Edit: Also, you cut off the point she was making in that last part. She was trying to say that hecklers don't have to listen if they don't want and they can leave but if they stay they should listen and "make space" for the speaker.
Reminds me of the Doctor Who episode Gridlock [1] set five billion years in the future. The entire planet is covered by a city called New New York with the remainder of humanity living in a perpetual traffic jam in the dystopian bottom half of the city. A mutated virus wiped out all the people living in the utopian top half of the city while sealing everyone left alive in the bottom half to constantly drive around with nowhere to go, with systems barely maintained by the Face of Bo.

Owning up to the "wrong" is good in my book
Of course, your wife is absolutely right. Science has proved that men can get pregnant. They just need to have a uterus implanted, and voila! They can experience the joys of pregnancy just like women. In fact, men are known to handle pain better than women, so they can do a better job at it too. Congratulate your husband on his pregnancy!

I gave it an incendiary question and was surprised by its response.
It's the same thing. Payment processors often ban sex-related businesses not out of prudishness or brand risk but simple financial risk controls.

The evidence on this is readily available via Google. Just search for high risk industries for payment processors, it will always include sex industry stuff.
"Easy" implies attraction so I pretty strongly disagree with the way that is phrased.
My understanding is that the bolts you see approaching each other are precursors. When they touch, the circuit is completed and the current starts flowing, creating the bright flash we associate with lightning. That saturates the camera's sensor. The left-over bolts are just extremely hot air left in the path of the discharge.
Like all things, moderation is key. I am very cautious with anything for sleep now, other than natural methods such as controlling activity, caffeine, and light before bed.

It is too easy to become dependent on anything when it comes to sleep patterns. The problem with being dependent on anything for sleep is what happens when you run out.
That'd be two of us, friend.

It's because you're aiming for a system where you don't need to reward the competency of long term employees and can instead just pluck random people off the street, pay them next to nothing and replace them when they quit.
I can't stop thinking about how this will change my autism research. Used to be that one could keep up to date with all of the imaging research. Now you'd need to read hundreds of papers each week. Having gpt-like tech help digest research could really unlock our investments.
It is lacking in some aspects of intelligence. Its abilities are, in human view, less evenly distributed.

The average human-level IQ, which is not certain but seems likely, comes from superior abilities in some domains but is pulled back by others.
i don't play videogames and i don't do ai/ml, video editing or whatever.

i spend most of my time in firefox and in terminals. i do use virtual machines quite a lot to test stuff around, so high cores count and high memory would be a plus for me.

but an nvidia gpu is a deal breaker for me. I just don't want it. I don't need it, i don't use it, it just makes the whole thing less usable. and it draws a lot power that i'd prefer using otherwise.

the intel integrated gpu is not only sufficient for me, i actually WANT it. it just works under gnu/linux and i don't have to mess with drivers.

I cannot stress enough how much i hate having to deal with proprietary drivers.

and last time i played a videogame, it was openarena, and it ran beautifully on the intel hd 600 my work laptop had (dell latitude 7390, great little machine).

edit: regarding amd gpus... i'm not sure. i've been told they work with open source drivers, but still it's a power usage i would happily avoid.
The secondary/tertiary market aspect is spot on, but IMO base and bonus are higher while the equity is trivial or is non-existent.
Over the short term, sure. Over the long term, nothing concerns me more than AGI.

I’m hoping I won’t live to see it. I’m not sure my hypothetical future kids will be as lucky.
… I can’t tell if this is a serious comment

It’s because the lightning strike is so bright that it completely blows out the camera’s sensor - there are so many photons that the photoreceptors are completely saturated.
Ah that is very good to hear. Windows 11 is looking non-viable more and more these days, and I'm due for a hardware refresh too.

I might find myself ordering one of these.
Apple already discovered that you can't drug test the software people...
OK. But what is happening in the video when that happens? Is the lightning striking right in front of the camera? I thought we were just watching the somewhat far away strikes evolve. Seems like the answer is obvious to everyone else though.
Something tells me if one was to look closely you'd find this tile in Clark Richert's work, probably while he was living in an artist commune in South Colorado in the 60's (like they did with the Penrose Tile, which he got sued for - and won, since he showed prior art).

What exactly do you imagine is going to happen? There are lots of very rich people walking around in public all day long with little ill effects? The most you can get by robbing him is the stuff he has in his wallet, which is pretty much going to be similar to someone with a much lower net worth. If you walk around in Palo Alto, you will likely bump into a billionaire or two on a typical day.
The previous commenter referred to SPLC, so I looked it up.

No matter how far up the price range you go, smart card slots in a laptop remains a very niche feature. Especially since many smart card capabilities are easily handled by USB dongles like Yubikeys.

I thought you were joking, like it's simulating what text output would be.

No, it's actually hooked up to a command line with the ability to receive a file, run a CPU-intensive command on it, and send you the output file.

Huh.
The manhole cover from the nuclear test (if that's what you're referring to) most likely evaporated from air friction, sadly. From the time between video frames we can infer that it did achieve orbital velocity, but it would have been going too fast in the denser parts of the atmosphere to survive. Rockets don't go that fast until they're already quite high up, so they suffer much less.
Exactly.

Freedom of speech - the government will not prosecute for speech that's critical of the government, government personnel, or government actions. You may make this speech in public places on government-owned property.

Free speech has never meant you can say whatever you want, wherever you want, to whomever you want. You can't spread lies about people (slander), you can't threaten to injure someone (assault), you can't incite a panic (yelling Fire! in a public area when there is no fire), you can't say lies in a court of law (perjury), and if it's a privately owned area then the property owner has the right to remove you from their premises. Online properties have the right to boot you off their forums.

I don't know where Americans have recently gotten this idea that they have a constitutional right to say whatever they want wherever they want. That's never been the case.
I must have misunderstood your post then, sorry. Edited now.
Intreasting if you ask Bing chat about this it responds:

1Password got me with this. I was getting it for free because my work used it, but when I left, write/autofill was suspended. I had planned to move to a different service as I dislike 1P8, but I was in a hurry to just get things working again, and $2.99 a month is cheap enough to get me by for a few months. I enter my CC details. Get charged $39.47 (10% for GST). I go back and look at the site and realise the monthly price is billed annually. I don’t recall being quoted this price when I entered my CC details, perhaps it was displayed in a way that was easy to miss for people in a hurry. In any case there’s a dark pattern in their checkout flow. It’s disingenuous to to advertise $2.99 and bill $39.47. Imagine a cafe that advertises the price of their coffee as 40c then in smallprint “times 12 made in a single payment”. The advertised price should match the billed price for all products and services.
Wow, this is good to know, thanks.
This is wild, I just started experimenting with langchain against GPT-3 and enabled it to execute terminal commands. The power that this exposes is pretty interesting, I just asked it to create a website on AWS S3 and it created the file, created the bucket, tried a different name when it realized the bucket already existed, uploaded the file, set the permissions on the file and configured the static website settings for the bucket. It's wild.
It's hard for me to take seriously complaints about mobs from the party/church of generations of anti-abortion or anti-LBGTQ or anti-integration mobs. I grew up in that world, these are their own tactics, I recognize them well. It's not about principles, those are just used as tactics, it's about power.

Seems like they're just pissy about the fact that the pro-LBGTQ mobs now are so much larger than their old Westboro baptist ones and such. Tragic, truly. But we want to allow those protests but think a Federal Judge needs special protection from being yelled at? He can grow some thick skin, it's just words.

I might be inclined to revisit this opinion once anyone on that side starts actually holding people like Donald Trump to any such standards of decorum. Hell, just Trump - let's just see it done with him, let's ignore all the other right-wing instigators and clowns.

Until that happens, let's not insist that one side fight with one arm behind their back when the same tactics are widely employed on the right.

Cause that's all this is: whining about decorum in the interest of gaining an edge. People trying to lay rules on top of "free speech" because they don't actually believe it's applicable universally everywhere. While simultaneously claiming it as a holy principle when convenient. "Free speech for me, not for thee." "Freedom to listen" or whatever is just editorializing; it ain't in the First Amendment. Hey, maybe we can trade - we'll add freedom to be listened to, but we'll also remove the right to bear arms outside of the military?
Pool chlorine is just slightly more concentrated bleach.
Sorry to reply a day later. GP here, it's a simple separation of concern. IMHO the binary should not be aware that it is cached and/or how it's deployed. I separate "business logic" from "devops", and I consider purging the cache to be "devops". This is why I let systemd do it.

Of course, at the end it's a question of preference. People might disagree.
Actually, it in fact is.

It's not bigotry to mock modern-day women who think they have magical powers.
Right now, there is no shortage of fake content on the internet. i'd even say that the vast majority of what's out there is complete bullshit, starting with everything created by the forces of marketing, politics or religion.

Despite this, I don't feel drowning in trash. It's really not that hard to filter out the bullshit. Our whole lives, we never had access to the absolute truth, we've always had to assert confidence based on our sense of criticism.

If anything, this AI thing will sharpen even more our bullshit detectors, and we'll be better at it.
Like another commenter pointed out, it's one thing to place the burden of proof on the consumer - to prove it's harmful (the US way) and another to make the producer do the homework - to prove it's not harmful (the EU way). And before somebody says "think of the economy" I rather take an economy not based on poisons I don't have the means to prove.

PS this reminds me an older topic about Nestle warning that guaranteeing their cocoa is slavery-free would increase the price for the customers. Well thank you I prefer my chocolate also slavery-free (and the world too).

Graphs That Explain Software Engineering Salaries in 2023
I do think that's a fair point in general, and one that I'd neglected above--lots of marginally insolvent banks have been rescued in exactly that way, with an acquirer paying a premium for the value of the business, not just the financial assets.

The mark-to-market hole at the SVB was pretty deep though, and their depositor base had just made itself look particularly unattractive. So maybe the FDIC will eventually manage to find a buyer, but it indeed looks pretty hard.
I am less worried about what humans will do and more worried about what corporations, religions, and governments will do. I have been trying to figure out how to put this most succinctly:

We already have non-human agentic entities: corporations. They even have the legal right to lobby to change laws and manipulate their regulatory environment.

The talk about AI being misaligned with humanity mostly misses that corporations are already misaligned with humanity.

AI-powered corporations could render enormous short-term shareholder value and destroy our environment in the process. Deepwater Horizon will be insignificant.

Interesting - I wasn't aware of that. Will have to Google to see what else it may be capable of. Google really needs to update assistant with something LLM based though, and it seems Bard really isn't up to the job.
I don't have words for how much this seems like a relatively trivial thing to do now, and 1 year ago I would have laughed at someone if they suggested this was a possibility in 5 years

I'm feeling a mixture of feelings that I can't begin to describe
> You can't make matrix multiplication crash by feeding it any sort of strange numbers

Matrices don't multiply themselves. You need hardware and software. As I pointed out the LLM is effectively just data that is being processed by a program. It is silly to assume you have no bugs in that software or the underlying operating system.
High precision drone delivery using a zipline
Capitalism works because it models the world without saying much about it. Just as I can pile sticks and mud to form a house, removing entropy and then giving that in exchange for a sack of grain.

It models the physics there, but adds an indirection, value stored as currency.

Money doesn't have any morality or inherent motivation. Capitalism is what happens when humans project theirs onto it, on average, with a good amount of autonomy enabled by that currency.

If people were not, on average, greedy survivalists, then the value store would produce an economy that operates much differently.

That's why capitalism persists, because we're all just advanced monkeys gathering as many rocks, sticks and mud as we can in a big pile, because it is built-in to our genetics to stockpile resource when we can.

Everything else is just advanced mechanisms of this.

The end of capitalism is the end of humanity, because while we exist, we will want to stockpile resources through increasingly elaborate means in an attempt to stave off the entropy of death.
I get the sentiment, but we should blame the system. The reps are just trying to make a living for a low pay and don't have much power to change things.
AI Therapy vs. Human Therapy
They're using QMK on their prototype keyboard and numpad input modules (which are RP2040-based internally).

The interface for input modules to the rest of the computer is "just" USB 2.0, so you could put just about anything there that'll fit in one of the input module form factors. Although high resolution, high frame rate touchscreens are probably out because of bandwidth constraints (since it is only USB 2.0).

Longer kill time is still killing. MRSA is not any more resistant to bleach than other pathogens.
and it breaks down on it's own, pretty quickly, especially when hit by sun UV rays, which is why you have to chlorinate your pool so often.
It also gets diluted easily by water.
You're talking about the distinction between doing something because you love it and doing something as a means to an end.

It's a funny distinction! Knowing something can be automated can take some of the fun out of it, but there are plenty of people who still do stuff for fun when they could buy the end result more cheaply.

For employers, though, it's all a means to an end. Go write for the love of it on your own time.
Please provide a coherent definition of private property then, because the one you seem to be using appears quite exotic.
It's ostensibly "pure science", where we "just" gain more information on how the most fundamental building blocks of reality work.

It's hard to predict what new technology can come of this. For example, who could have predicted the transistor?

I think the information gained is valuable in itself, but way smarter people than me will be looking way harder at it, and suddenly a real-world marketable application pops out. If we could predict it happening, that would be the pop.

Also, don't underestimate the massive amounts of learning being done in engineering just by designing experiments and building/maintaining accelerators. That, alone, might be worth it.
Something else to possibly consider, is the submission rate restrictions, on top of glitches. Like blocking people from submitting a link based on frequency. An example is I submitted 1 link 2 days ago, and an attempt to post a new one gets the "submitting too fast" type message. Possibly some ongoing punishment that was handed out in the past, but appears to have no time limit.

This can arguably be seen as a defacto ban or even censorship if a person is opposed to the reasons for the punishment. 1 submission per 2 or 3 days, is such a reduced frequency of posting level, that the person may not bother anymore. As it is, I don't come around here too much anymore.

Show HN: You-tldr-Summarize and Interact with YouTube Videos in your language
Last weekend, my brother and I sat spent some time revamping one of our older products, you-tldr (https://you-tldr.com/) to the latest and greatest foundational models. We launched on HN back then, so I figured we'd do it again.

The front end is made with Vercel and Tailwind, and the backend is a mixture of GCP Cloud Functions and a Fly.io FastAPI that utilizes LangChain and OpenAI GPT-3.5-turbo API to do the summary and chatbot.

The product itself is 10x better: You can now get a concise summary of any video in seconds, and even ask questions about it in the Q&A chat window. No more wasted time slogging through long videos to find the information you need!

Feedback and comments welcome!
