I can't help but wonder if other countries are watching these proceedings and wondering about their own national security. The US is concerned about misinformation, blackmail, and influence campaigns, but is the US using the data that FANG has access to do it to other countries? Are they just trying to keep a monopoly on that power?

We can see hints that the US is using these platforms to do that. Imagine the negotiating power the US has to go into a trade deal negotiations with another country. Run an influence campaign to sway the other country's population to accept a bad deal. Use democratic processes to get someone elected who will sign off on the bad deal. End up profiting enormously.

Having free access to show propaganda and misinformation to most of the world is an enormous power.
There's something ironic about implying that us not having a path to AGI is good news for the curious. If you're supervisiously curious then sure, we need to unlock another piece of a puzzle, more puzzle pieces means more puzzle solving.

But if you're able to actually take a step back, AGI would be the the ultimate source of new puzzles for the curious. We don't even all agree on how to define the "GI", approaching AGI wouldn't be unlike meeting extraterrestrial life sitting on a computer.
> So, without any information, you assume that _every_ plugin ever put out is there, rather than the ones that were publicly published

No, we know that the unlisted ones that are accessible are the ones that weren’t supposed to be publicly published that are in limited testing.

> No possibility of the being internal testing tracks, or of having no testing tracks and OpenAI just telling you to handle it on your own for testing (by not publishing it, for example)

I mean, no, because OpenAI publishes what the testing setup is, so we know that the case isn’t “no testing tracks and OpenAI just telling you to handle it on your own for testing (by not publishing it)”.

And its not clear how you could test it without using the OpenAI published approach; since we don’t know whether OpenAI tunes on the information, or references it in the hidden prompt somehow. Only in that latter case could an external party even in theory test before exposing the plugin, and that would require detailed information that OpenAI hasn’t provided in its developer information.
Because the cloud remains the same?

All of what you mention is something you consider during install. Which arguably makes the install take most of its time.

Same should be true for the cloud. Because you surely are not just jumping into something without analyzing what you are locking yourself into etc.?

Yes, it sucks if your PSU goes into smoke at an inopportune time. So you don't put critical services on it. Just as you don't on the cloud either. AWS has a much worse uptime than my homeserver. Github, slack, netflix, etc too.

Also, you get to do maintenance when you know noone will be bothered by it.
Yunohost is not a site, it's a Linux distribution focused on making popular self-hosting apps more accessible. It tries to solve exactly what you're talking about - long-term maintenance and excessive complexity of small scale/personal self-hosting.
If you continue reading that Wikipedia article, you'll reach this point:

> A second-order Markov chain can be introduced by considering the current state and also the previous state, as indicated in the second table.

i.e., a higher-order Markov chain can depend on several of the previous states.

So, if a certain transformer model accepts up to 20k tokens as input, it can certainly be seen as a 20000'th order Markov chain process (whether it is useful to do so or not can be debated, but not the fact that it can be seen as such, since it complies with the definition of a Markov chain).
> only Germany had the miracle. From your link.

You're aware that there was no actual "miracle", right? It's just a name given to an economic boom, which France and Britain also experienced, under different names (golden age for the UK, trente glorieuses for France).
I'm not sure we feel the same but I kinda experienced high anger after seeing my team babble for hours on epics while no information of value was put out clearly and no actual design/planning was produced.

Just a bunch of paragraphs in jira. Smells like rot already.
The problem I have with your question is "agile" seems to mean anything except a pure waterfall development model.

Even modified waterfall seems to be described as agile.

As a sole developer of a software product, I haven't figured out how the agile principles even apply to me.

"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" doesn't work when there's only one person.

"Working software over comprehensive documentation" Does that mean ship code but don't provide comprehensive documentation to my users? No, it means internal process documentation. Which isn't applicable since it's just me.

"Customer collaboration over contract negotiation". That only applies for contract software development. I sell a software product.

"Responding to change over following a plan". I don't have much of a plan, so I guess I do this one. But I do have a long-term vision, since that's essential to figuring out what groundwork to have.

Personally, I learned RAD (rapid application development) when I was a young programmer back in the 1990s, and that's what I still use.
No need to scare people about physical access. Turn off the phone, put in envelope, seal it. At the end of the event, verify envelope and seal are still in proper shape. Would yield another nice data point, number of seals broken.
It also only uses one possible ordering for the IR instructions?

Still a nice result. It looks like a dynamic programming solution to code generation.

Next to the game boy. ;-)
> Coming to this argument about even algo/DS interviews, could you suggest an algorithmic interview replacement, that is not time consuming, is objective, language agnostic and scales well with the size of a company?

Why are you presuming an algorithmic interview? How many engineering jobs depend on being able to memorise algorithms?

If you mean suggesting an engineering interview: sure. Give someone a task and 40 minutes to build it. Leave them alone. Come back and go through the solution together.
I've been working on my own personal-assistant for a couple of months, just connected it to telegram so I can reach it from anywhere. Can "talk" to my calendar, run commands on my home computer, etc. It also has its own memory, so doesn't need huge prompt windows (I'm running a couple of fine-tuned curie models btw). Now I've been giving it API access to a bunch of stuff to increase its capabilities.
Actually they're more like teenagers.
This is the first time I've heard of Yunohost, but their documentation instills a lot of confidence in me.

I've been thinking of setting up NextCloud or similar for starting self-hosting of our HOA's email server, and file host, but it felt like a huge lift for someone who has never done it before.

Seeing that this is a full-on OS distro (Debian based), has been used and improved for over a decade, has docs that address backups, restores, and various attack vectors, has all app users integrated via LDAP, I feel comfortable at least giving it a try.
Im old enough to remember a nice man visiting my school asking us to listen carefully what parents talk about around the house and report to teachers any criticism of government or party. That was pre 1989 under Russian occupation of my country.
Yeah, I saw you've mentioned the QuartzPro64, but I like linking to that mainlining status page. I've got a few RK3588 boards myself, the Rock5 and OPi5, but the use I wanted them for, better desktop OpenGL support with Panfrost than a Pi, isn't quite there yet. They're writing some new drivers for that:

There are 2 methodologies with very similar names.

“Agile” is recommended by big consultancies. It aims to improve managers’ control of processes and costs by removing autonomy from those doing the implementation. It does this using templates, hierarchies and policies.

“agile” (small a) as practised by Kent Beck. It aims to improve outcomes by handing more control to the implementers through collaboration. It does this through good communication and focus.

The insight of this submission is that when those implementers are capable and motivated to deliver a good outcome, this will deliver the best possible outcome. But if they’re not, then nobody is in control, and you just have chaos.

Big A Agile still has crappy outcomes but the lines of accountability are at least clearer.
Ubuntu LTS doesn't always use an LTS kernel. 22.04.02 is in 5.19 I believe.

Would be interesting to analyze it over the next years, maybe even anlyzing the past ones, with these AI detection tools.
Big tech has ingratiated themselves with congress by hiring friends and family, donating liberally to political campaigns, and staying involved in Washington with think tanks.

In part, the campaign against Tiktok is a campaign for SF based big tech to hold the monopoly on people's attention. As a newer startup, Tiktok has not entrenched itself the way that other tech companies have in DC yet.
They have been charging pennies until now, though..
Show HN: fstail – Scan a directory for changed files and tail them
> and then we expect the judge to "save" us from the broken law instead of holding the legislators accountable

Why can't it be both? All this does is keep us busy looking where the 'root cause' is and never actually solve anything because the mechanisms to fix those things don't exist... all the while others reap its benefits.
Because its not very intuitive until you start doing it (at least some parts). I mean having meeting for 10 mins every day vs 1x weekly hourly one works for every project I've ever seen. Shorter sprints work generally better too, tighter interaction with stakeholders is simply reasonable.

That's mostly what I've seen adopted, not much more. Its a bit painful if you ever need to go back, but entirely possible. Some people actually perform quite well with old ways.
They tweeted few days back there was a bug in an open source library. That's the main issue.
When you need to see the output from all changed files within a directory

tail -f /var/logs/* just doesn't work

That's why we have fstail.

When all the people with money hired like crazy, was that a signal that... reality showed that they have no clue of whats coming. They just copy each other and in general have no clue about anything.
Yes! I learned 6502 assembly from the Apple ][ system manual. You got the op code tables, the schematics and Woz‘s monitor incl. listing and a disassembler. It motivated me to learn English, forced me to carefully calculate relative jumps and taught me to think first then code. Two of the three still useful skills.
I use it for things that I cant find on the internet without lots of pain, and reading through garbage, such as:

- recipe ideas, like "what goes well with BBQ tofu in a Poke Bowl?"

- movie suggestions that i can fine tune, say what i already watched, etc

For code it mostly spits out buggy, subtly wrong code. Not useful for me. I mostly write low(er) level C++
Credit Suisse had a 14% CET1 ratio, higher than JPMorgan. The stock price was depressed because it wasn't turning a profit but it was nowhere near a level of losses where it would be a concern from a creditor point of view.
The USD is the least worst option. That could change some day. Maybe India becomes a much bigger economy or the US govt gets overtaken by socialists who print like crazy and create hyperinflation. But for now there is no better option.
That completely depends on the size of the employer. Small shops give devs more variety, as they simply have less resources to go around.
Mars seems to lack tectonic activity, the hot core that would drive the synthesis.

But maybe it had time to generate some oil (or whatever kind of longer-chain hydrocarbons) when it was still active.

Oil won't be very useful on Mars as an ubiquitous fuel (there's little oxygen, mostly needed for artificial biomes and the occasional rocket), but certainly would be useful to produce plastics.
I agree, and I’ve competed at the highest level in programming competitions. Most of my peers there would not be good hires.

Top level programming competitions are like top level spelling bees. You need to have as many algorithms memorized as possible in code. That’s right. You need to be able to recite code by memory to pump out algorithm functions as quickly as possible since libs aren’t allowed generally. This isn’t a useful skill.
Come to think of it, I think that's realistically going to happen a lot.

It's going to be recursive blaming all the way down.
(not to bash yunohost since I haven't personally used their service)

At my workplace, we use cloudron.io, as their app store feels well maintained and up-to-date. I've never encountered any issues with app updates or instability, so they must be doing something right when it comes to quality control, which is one of the hard part of self-hosting.
I think one of you is defining ‘sport’ as in competitive sport and the other is defining it as exercise.
They’d need an actual chip to run it on or is it just simulated? I mean isn’t RISC-V still 5-10 years behind M series?

Also do you think the they still maintain macOS ports for PowerPC?
I'm not into football but would definitely watch this match.
That's just a derogatory term for democracy.
I think of it like trying to restrict what your neighbor can have for lunch. That’s not a thing we’re allowed to do today and the concept makes no sense to someone today. But you can limit what your neighbor engineers!
Basing on experience and facts I can only say that since TikTok is new and hasn't had many scandals yet, their privacy reviews and processes internally are not mature or not a priority yet compared to other FANG companies that have been burned by it.
And why should they prioritize it over growth?
I spoke to devs, and they didn't care at all about their privacy reviews.
I'm not a TikTok fan, but this behavior was the same as other FANG companies early days. Yet they are being treated different?
That's really a good field for research right now, because like Jancovici notes in his conf (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQBPhKSWu0&list=PLMDQXkItOZ...) that we currently price renewable energy in a world where oil is abundant.

But once you have to create your wind turbine, solar panels and battery with electricity from wind turbines and solar panels, the price gets very different.
Do people have to sign waivers so phone checkers aren’t liable if and when robbers come and take the whole basket of phones ?
On side micro engineering tests. With your own laptop and peace and quiet until the time is over.
it does apply to all employees.

and actually, in germany for example, the rule is not that shops must be closed. you can open your shop if you can run it yourself, without any employees help.

depending on the country, saturdays can be school days, but generally nowadays, the rule extended to saturday as well, actually, with the exception of retail. it used to be that saturdays were half work days. and of national holidays are equal to sundays.
What do you use for the memory ?

Can you explain a bit more ?
Division yielding always a float is a python issue, in python you would use the floor division to get integers, but you cant do the same in plain shark because other target platforms might not have it.

You can disregard and ignore most floating to int conversions and checks if youre NOT targeting python. Other platforms generally have just double precision and no integers (incluiding the C and Java ones) but not happening in python.

In your example x[1] == 1 yields true in any platform. So dont worry.

The for loop will iterate exacly end - start times with a start of 0 if missing and finish after end - 1 has executed.

Using the iteration variable after loop exit is undefined behavior, some platforms keep the last value stored like python and javascript, others will make a wild assignment to a global variable every time like lua or the C/Java editions.

Functions do NOT have variable lenght calls, if you read the code a second time, what its doing is looking up an array based in arguments length, and proceeding to switch on each case.

Hope this helped, will update the handbook if something is unclear.

Thank you for your well written response. I found it informative as I'm also currently exploring ways to leverage ChatGPT in my daily workflow. I also found it interesting that your answer kind of mirrors the writing style of ChatGPT, especially at the end there.

I'm not saying you used it to write that response by the way, just that it may become more and more common for people to adopt this style the more ChatGPT's usage is widespread.
> An internal Technology Radar can help teams understand the technology landscape and make informed decisions about which technologies to use.

A Technology Radar is supposed to reflect the state of your area and track what you are doing, like a radar. It's not a decision making tool; building a decision making process around it will eventually lead to rigid blocks and stifle your own innovation.
You, the developer, have one customer: you, the software vendor.

The software vendor sells a software product, not the developer.
This absolutely isn’t how humans learn. Humans learn by doing. Once you grasp the basics, you can read some documentation. Otherwise there’s not enough ground for the docs to make sense.

Once you’re comfortable with the basics by all means read the table of contents to know what you don’t know. I recommend this especially when dealing with databases, it’s amazing how many people never advance past the apprenticeship part of learning software engineering.
Do you know how many Ipfs nodes have actually pinned your content? Have they done so purely because they are ipfs enthusiasts? Do you feel this solution is better than hosting it on a raspberry pi from home or on a cheap VPS?
IMO one thing that makes it still interesting to discuss is that it has become something of a poster child of cargo cult. That phenomenon persists, whether it's Agile or something else.
Beneath the surface of land, yes.

Beneath the surface of water there can be more surprises, especially around large sources of (volcanic) heat and substances on the sea floor.
If you bargain for higher pay while unemployed, tell them you are interviewing with multiple companies. They even ask you this, but they do not explain why they do that. You might think is just chit-chat when in fact is your salary negociation.
It’s probably possible to incorporate all possible orderings of instructions, if the set of already computed instructions is part of the state of the dynamic programming algorithm.
Hello, founder and CTO of www.shopstory.app here. None if these arguments apply if you build page builder right. I believe we're on the right path.

First, it works inside of headless CMSes. It means that you get all advantages of structured content and yet add sprinkles of unstructured content when you need on top of that. You can always connect structured data into visual blocks built with Shopstory.

As for design consistency we build everything around design tokens. Not only fonts and colors but also page margins, grid gaps etc. Also, you will soon have permission system where designers can build templates but editors can't modify visual properties.

The bottom line is that I believe in the future we won't need to make a tradeoff between visual vs structured. You can have both at the same time and just fine tune the system to whatever direction suits you better.
My personal favourite is from STM32F427:

"When PA12 is used as GPIO or alternate function in input or output mode, the data read from flash memory (bank2, upper 1MB) might be corrupted."

I can't even imagine the head scratching one might go through if hit by this, particularly late in development process (when the firmware becomes larger than 1MB).
Unrelated but funny:

My sister got back to Berlin from a hiking trip, where she brought no technology. It was the summer and per usual she was wearing her little sailor's hat, navy short shorts, and a white tank top. She went straight to Berghain, a techno mecca club with a notoriously strict door policy and the most extensive body contraband search in Berlin. No photos or video are allowed inside, so everyone's phone cameras are stickered.

Pam is friends with the booker and was on the staff guest list, so the door staff treated her with the smallest modicum of respect afforded by such a self-serious organization. They padded her hips but were frustrated to find no phone on her person. "Where is it?" they demanded. "I don't have it" she smiled with her natural strong ease. Impossible. They simply couldn't believe in the existence of a person without a mobile phone. Flummoxed, they finally demanded she remove her sailor's cap, as that was the last possible hiding place. Seeing nothing there, disappointed---but strangely charmed---they waved her in.
LMAO will do, check again in some minutes.

I doubt this would apply to Apple. Probably only to those who are actually using cores designed by ARM..

Are you really grand standing against an AI model rn
I still feel like if I'd done something similar as an individual I would not have got away with it.

Say I downloaded z-library and wrote a search system that only showed me snippets (for searching). How likely do you think courts would find in my favour?
You are glowing friend.
I can’t say much about it’s ability to write lower level C, but I found that it’s pretty useful in explaining what low level code does, even if to me at a first glance it’s not obvious. It doesn’t only give you a line by line explanation but you can ask “what is this code supposed to do” and it will give you a pretty good guess.
Are they working on mainlinung code? I've not heard of this board before.
I'm curious what you mean by "reverse pitch understanding" in your second last point, could you elaborate?
I think this is the problem. When people talking about c++ is “dead” ,at that time they meant 70% people using to perhaps 5% . Just like we says after industrialization,making clothes by hand is dead . It is irrelevant that there are still some people making clothes by hand . When AI the main way to code and remove 90% of coding jobs. It is also irrelevant to state that there are still 10% people still coding
