OpenAI?

He’s been playing long game, working at this since 2015. That’s a long time to be playing without much of a payoff, but it’s all come to fruition now. That to me shows a lot of leadership ability.
The locked bathrooms don't really help though. Last time I used one there was a shit on the floor (with a shoeprint and tracks!).
I’ve been working extensively with embeddings (LLM generated) for the last 3 years, and the problems your product seem to solve have not been any big pain points for me. If you want to discuss other pains related to embs I’m available in DMs.
Name a cryptocurrency that provides fraud protection, recovery of stolen funds/accounts, and whose value is close to the dollar in stability.
Nice to see an alternative to dealing with bash, though was wondering why a shell based on a proper language like python wasn't considered
Thanks so much for sharing this with me! Austin's score is deeply moving. Now I can't stop thinking about it.

I think I played the game a long time ago but I believe I was visiting a friend (who had already played through it) at the time and I wasn't in the right frame of mind to experience it. Now I want to track down a PS4 and play it again.

This reminded me of another score I love: Endless Legend by Arnaud Roy. Similar instrumentation to Journey (albeit with lots of human voices). It has a different feel though, for a radically different game (a turn-based strategy game).
> I have a number of workloads I'd migrate to you over the next few weeks if you're ready for it. What is the state of Neon?
Please do we will support it! We have 22K hosted databases on the platform and are quite stable.

> Is it ready for small-volume but business critical loads?
Depends on business criticality. But generally yes. We are debating internally when we are going to announce it.

> I'm struggling to find support guarantees and SLAs on your website, do you have them yet?
Good feedback. It's in the works.

> What is your off-site backup story? Can I export my backups to something like R2, S3, or B2?
Since our storage is integrated with s3 and supports branching we can treat branches as backups.
> Many of my customers are running in Cloudflare Workers. Their volume is low, but it's business critical (DB downtime means business downtime - business will fail if we lose all the data).
We haven't lost data yet. There are a lot of redundancy in the system. Safekeepers, S3, branches (backups).
> For classical, streaming is not an option

> Streaming is the death of the classical recording industry.

Apple seems to disagree, so I guess we'll see. It clear that the best days are behind us, at any rate.

Bottom line: you might have been right that there was still a market to capture in 2017, but YC was also right to see that it was a shrinking market, not exactly the sort of thing in which they're most interested. It's hard to imagine a world in which the market for classical music is bigger today than it was in 2017, regardless of how well you--or anyone else--executed.
I am confused of what is being open sourced here. What I've managed to read from announcements and README I find myself being funnelled to Discord and Sourcegraph cloud services. I'm trying to understand what is what here.

I think there's three components that are needed to have the best (admittedly enticing) experience: Cody itself, Sourcegraph at the background (optionally) and an LLM called Claude from Anthropic. Claude is very much proprietary. Sourcegraph is open core, but to use it as a Cody's "helper" do I need those proprietary features? Without Claude and Sourcegraph Enterprise/Cloud what can Cody do, say with LLama based LLM, should this integration happen?

Again, what I've read, taken at face value, seems really promising. I've used Sourcegraph a few times in the past and sometimes wondered how it would benefit in my commercial work. Having an LLM could make this a next level tool, possibly something that regular chat-type LLM based services don't currently do.
Sue them for aiding and abetting any crime that happens where one of the perpetrators carried a cellphone with their service.

"No, they clearly acknowledge their service is used for crime - they block these other messages."

For bonus points, find a case where blocking the 'weed' message got someone killed. (You order drugs, the guy says 'weed on the way' but you don't get the message so you don't meet him, he thinks it's a setup and gets mad ...)
America Pulls Back from Values That Once Defined It, WSJ-NORC Poll Finds
What are your thoughts on apps like the Berlin Phil's Digital Concert Hall, or DG's Stage+? Those are streaming services at a more premium price, with smaller catalogs, but featuring new works and newly recorded works and generally high quality recordings.

As an end consumer of classical music, a streaming app like this one or the two I named make discoverability much easier in a way that is very appealing compared to direct sales. Even if there is a smaller total library available to me, I am much more easily able to explore that library and build my tastes. I think ideally, I would want an app that allows me to explore the streaming catalog of classical music in a discoverable, personalizable way, but that offers a way to buy these direct sale-exclusive recordings you're talking about once I'm confident about what I might enjoy. My Berlin Phil membership completely changed my understanding of classical, because it was so easy to just give something a try and the performances are so well-curated, often with a spoken introduction for context.

I'm a big jazz fan, and I know that Blue Note for instance seems to have done very well selling a lot of physical media with their vinyl series, including newly recorded albums. I've probably heard as much recently recorded jazz music on vinyl as on digital - and now that I think of it, there's a discoverability element there: if Blue Note bothers to press it to wax, it's probably pretty good. Most of the newly composed jazz I hear is performed live, though, and that seems to be the best way for most performers in the genre to make some income from it.
It doesn't register a loan, so there's no new account to affect credit score?
They already cheapened their brand beyond this when they created a credit card. CC is another form of BNPL, but more importantly, it's the most gimmicky business out there.
Payday loans are in the same category but in terms of predatory financial options i feel as though they are a million times worse. I even question how apps like Dave work on this type of model.
Funny how more debt is green in this IMF chart.

Safari uses frameworks from macOS and iOS which is the reason you can't get v16 in Catalina or before.

Whether this is "coupling to the OS" or "deprecation" or "aggressive removing backwards compatibility" is really a matter of semantics.

I will say this though, it seems Apple is changing their policies since Safari v16 is now available down to Big Sur.
I haven't used PrivateLink before, but from my brief look, it looks like it would work.
oobabooga's textgen webui has a tab for fine tuning now. You only need a single consumer GPU to fine tune up to 33B parameter models at a rate of about 200 epochs per hour, per GPU.

There are also one-click finetuning projects which run on free Google Colab GPUs like https://github.com/lxe/simple-llama-finetuner

It's easy and not complex at all.
And yet that's basically the only thing people accept.
So you mislead other buyers?

That's not hurting Amazon, it's hurting regular people.
Outside of your deliberate misinterpretation of my point, yes. Apple could have written it in 10 languages and they still wouldn't choose something open or widely used.

It's one thing to write it in Swift, but then rewriting it in Matlab and Mathematica before generously releasing it to the public is just a slap in the face. Maybe that's lost on the denizens of today's Hacker News, but it bothers me anyways.
Honest question: how is the Bay Area housing market artificially inflated? I assumed the high prices were the normal market response to high demand from many people with deep pockets.
> gate it behind human intervention(slow)

That's not my problem. The courts have already weighed in on this.

Marting Lewin sued facebook for publishing ads that used his face to defraud people. Facebook used the same excuses you just wheeled out, and the judge wasn't impressed.

Fraud is a crime, little people go to jail for less every day.

Yes, banks are large precisely because they make money this way. The point is that Apple makes huge amounts of money by selling tech products and services, and by having a loyal following. It would be surprising if they decided to trade some of that goodwill for a relatively (in their world) amount of cash.
Just don't forget, because if you're late paying off the balance they will usually charge interest retroactive to the opening date of the account (not sure that is the case in this specific example).
Come on.

I agree that banning TikTok on the grounds of its algorithm being controlled by China is dubious. After all, it is content, it is information, and it is up to an open society to call out the fact that social media is trash, that Chinese social media is anti-American disinformation poison.

However, it is reasonable to believe tiktok's recommendations are crafted to harm American intellect, prey on vanity to reward shallow behavior, and gather large scale behavioral and physical activity (site tracking, habits, physical location, items in homes, etc) for the purposes of the Chinese government. If it is recognized as a spy tool of a hostile government, why permit it?
Have you tried it? I've listened to 2 generated audiobooks so far, has been great
I read this twice and still don't get it. What was that exactly supposed to be doing?
For a while a long time ago, I had a Naxos subscription ($20 a year) where I could listen to anything in their catalog. It was great for headphones at work. This might be, too.
It’s beautiful but I don’t know whether to say it is too optimistic or too pessimistic.

Zoomed out to the whole of New York State it seems to give the best coverage for the whole hexagon, but once I zoom in closer I think it’s lacking data for many hexagons, these are areas where I know there is coverage in some spots and not in other spots but in my area near Ithaca the map correctly shows strong coverage in the city but I think is pessimistic for rural areas around it which are poorly served but not that bad.
Anyone on this team must have been counting the seconds.

I've tried that, that definitely doesn't work...
> The further away that line is from the center of mass, the easier it is for the force to rotate the object. In the following demonstration, you can apply two forces of the same magnitude to two identical boxes. The only difference is the distance to the center of mass at which these forces act:

> When the distance between the force-line and the center of mass is large, the box spins faster as well. That distance doesn’t change the acceleration of the box to the right and both boxes move with the same linear speed. However, that distance affects the angular acceleration of a box – the longer that arm, the faster the box spins.

This does not make sense to me. If the two forces are truly of equal magnitude, then shouldn't the one that is in-line with the center of mass accelerate it faster, since 100% of the force is being converted to linear momentum, while the off-center force is being split between increasing linear momentum and rotational momentum?

This would appear to violate the conservation of energy.
The problem here is that software appears to be "wearing out" faster than the hardware it's running on, which is utterly ridiculous. Bits don't wear out. Removing backward compatibility is a deliberate decision being made by developers to make their own jobs more comfortable.
I'm guessing most employers who wouldn't be fine with employees working in another country on a tourist visa for a few months also wouldn't be OK with them doing so on a work visa at least without lots of paperwork and approvals.

Of course, people who don't require special business visas to enter a country for, say, an event routinely do work when traveling in many cases. I've never done months at a time but I've certainly had ~1 month trips in Europe that were some combination of business and pleasure.
I have no idea what right or wrong means to most people in 2023. Also there is no such thing unless you believe in Judeo-Christian values. There are only actions
That would start a game of people updating a listing a bit at a time. The listing might be confusing or even meaningless part way through but after a while it would be fine enough. Update API limits would make this impractical for long listings but it might work for short ones. Detecting scams and working around the detection semantics is an unending arms race.
I saw the domain name "ciechanow.ski" and immediately upvoted it even before I opened it. The quality of posts by Bartosz is just next level.
Also see the work of Jason Moore (referenced in that blog) for whom it seems modeling bicycle dynamics in open source scientific python has been a huge passion for him for more than ten years. I remember in the scientific python development in those days there were these guys from like the hubble optics correction division and like the asml metrology department and then this one weird bicycle guy lol.

> What's worse is Jack uses a large part of the companies budget to fund his personal Bitcoin projects.

I also worked at Block until earlier this year and AFAIK, the % of Block's overall operating costs spent on Bitcoin side projects is very low. Maybe 1% or something like that.

>> It's a hard firewall between my "normal" music library and classical, which means risk free shuffle play. I never want Bach and Slayer in sequence.

It's actually not. The library is shared so your classical music will still appear in Apple Music. It's just that your pop/rock etc. music will not appear in the Classical app. e.g. add a playlist or album to your Classical library then check recently added in the standard Music app - you should also see it there.
Excellent. That work’s wonderfully for us too ;-)
In December I ordered an iPad Pro, and instead received a random book that has more or less the same size, plus a bunch of AA batteries to match the weight… I’m in Germany, not sure if that’s common in other places but it was a first for me. So, yeah, I’m done ordering expensive device on the platform.
Americans are almost universally against corporate surveillance though. (Look at the percent that opt out on iOS).

We should pass a constitutional amendment guaranteeing right to privacy, and it should apply to both the US government, and to firms operating withing the US.

Show HN: Use ChatGPT on your desktop using an app built by ChatGPT
I've been using ChatGPT a lot lately, and it's a pain to have to open a browser tab every time I want to interact with it.

I thought it'd be good to have an app that:

1. Allowed me to use ChatGPT from the desktop
2. Had an easy to remember shortcut
3. I could keep on top of all windows for those cases when I wanted to compare the results from ChatGPT with something else

I'd never built an Electron app before, so I got ChatGPT to do it for me:)
FYI I don't know what your website contains but my corporate firewall is blocking it.
And my point was that "profit" is not the culprit here, and that is why I took communism as example. People will do questionable or illegal things for variuos selfish reasons. Profit being just one of them, but the people that would do those things for profit would do the same things for other non so tangible advancement of the self ego. So the problem is not that the society is driven by profit but because there is a conflict of self vs society.
You might need permission, but feedback is more valuable
Who would you report it to? Amazon doesn't care. Is there a state-level consumer affairs department that might care? The FTC maybe?
> It doesn’t mean you hate your life or your wife

Some wives think it does, though.
I'll be frank, every article that presents BRICS as a real thing is propaganda. It isn't a coincidence that we're seeing a lot more of them since Russia invaded Ukraine.

India and China are enemies, they keep having border skirmishes. South Africa is a failed state and it has negligible influence on the world stage. Brazil is one of the reasons why the term "middle-income trap" was devised.

BRICS members don't even vote in each other's favor in the UN. Russia has received zero meaningful assistance from them during the war in Ukraine.

It's entirely possible that in the future a real anti-western bloc will emerge. But it isn't BRICS.
Back-of-napkin calculation suggests that it would be ~20 ppm if it were evenly distributed. But as any water is likely concentrated in surface rock and dust, it might be substantially more than that.

Still, it may be possible to mine deep water-poor silicates and oxides and process them in a water-free hard-vacuum environment. Time will tell, I guess!
Lunar fiberglass is still a highly speculative thing. (But extremely cool, at least in principle, due to its superlative strength and toughness.)
Meta failure at Metaverse will have a long term consequences for this idea. Now every company that will want to develop Metaverse will have to deal with this stigma.

I think that the first time I read about the idea of realizing Metaverse was in the book "Masters of Doom".

Thanks Mark for destroying that!
Lie Detectors: Body Language Tells Little About Whether Someone Is Being Honest
Hold times are optimized for customer retention and profits. This implies that you’re both correct. It’s just the perspective: if people give up on their query but stay a customer that’s fine. Most call centers don’t exactly have the degree of customer service of a hospitality institution like a luxury hotel.

I’ve always appreciated the perspective that they just figure out how much staff they need to stop the customers from getting too pissed off.
There is something deeply ironic about:

> visa for remote workers

> Applications can only be submitted in paper form.

What a fantastic way to attract people who will work through the internet: by having them submit paperwork through well, paper.

20,000 ISK says the forms get scanned as soon as they arrive too.
Climate Change Is Speeding Toward Catastrophe

I doubt they'll change the general amount of time and energy required to train human programmers all that much, which is something this article also illustrates. E.g.

> "After a day of being focused on getting "the tedious stuff" right (using the right API, checking the right errors, properly calling API X, implementing the unit tests and mocks for Y, writing an API wrapper for Z)..."

Programmers will still have to learn the how, when and why of all of the above steps in that and many other standard programming pipelines, and that will take about the same time to master as before. The list of most-commonly-used-skills might change, but that's nothing new - fewer programmers now regularly use low-level bit-flipping tricks in their daily job, for example.

People doing computation work could become more like carpenters who usually work with power tools and prefabbed structural units, with niches for custom construction in unusual scenarios. Carpenters themselves are unlikely to be replaced by autonomous robots anytime soon.
No, but it is trolling to "generously" port that code to two proprietary languages before releasing it. Were it not for the cookie points they earn for opening accessibility code, they may as well have never released this.
Wow, this could be problematic for Conitec, makers of the GALEP series of GAL/EPROM programmers...
Yes, it is. And in a grocery store, how is a product handled when it comes in on a shipment and doesn't match the previous shipments and/or bills of lading? By a person, in every single grocery store everywhere on the planet.

Although, in a grocery store, you're less likely to see a product change from a bicycle to a scooter. You're more likely to see the cocoa content in your chocolate bar drop, and the oil change to a cheaper and less flavourful type.

I guess the comparison still works... should we have purchasers comparing products before setting them out? Under what conditions? What conditions trigger a review? In my experience, the stores just keep putting changed products out like nothing has happened, even if we notice over time that things just don't taste the same sometimes.

Turns out that... yes... it gets pretty complicated pretty fast, but many grocery stores also seem to just be ignoring this issue.
Has anyone tried this? I have 96GB of GPU memory; will that be enough to run the biggest model?
Love the idea and I’ve been looking for something like this. I wrongly assumed that Pinecone offered exactly this and was disappointed to realize that I had to figure out the embedding generation myself.

I am yet to completely explore your website, but do you by any chance let me export the generated embeddings to manage them using say Pinecone?

Also, any chance you guys plan to integrate OCR tools in your pipeline? Say I have images of text, which I know is text and don’t want to use a inage model for generating embeddings.
They made a logistical optimisation to save money. Only right that they should eat the costs of any side effects
I've always loved that little fact about having to initially turn the handlebars the opposite way to initiate a turn.

It's pretty much impossible to believe without thinking it through, and yet everyone naturally intuits it.

It's one of my favourite examples of how the brain can just 'feel' forces and make the right adjustments incredibly fast. So amazing.
This name is interesting. Distributed office locations already happen. Distributed groups could be employee choice, not just employer choice all the time. If several employees happen to live on the same side of a city and want to meet for part of the day in their favorite coffee shop or somewhere to brainstorm on a project together, that ought to count as "in office" time.
That’s the only thing that matters!
I have actually tried to report this to Amazon customer support a number of times. Most of the time, the CS agent either entirely does not understand what I am complaining about, or openly says this is allowed. Last time they told me I would only get the gift card after I left a 5 star review, and to chat back if I did not get it!
I think the more niche your product is, the more you need to be plugged in to the market, i.e. know people and understand their needs. You have to find a balance between niche and general.
