Your cargo bike has them in front? That’s what I’m leaning towards because I’ve had a few close calls from behind. I’m already petitioning my city to fix a few missing bike lanes haha, I also wonder about wearing reflective decals and using flashing lights. Only so much you can do. Once I’m past 15 minutes of roads we can basically access all of the best parks of the city through an awesome trail.
> it just compares weights internally and spits out the most probable result depending on what you asked for.

Except it doesn't even do that. Sometimes it decides to go for a less probable option, and goes from there even if it's logically completely wrong. For example, I asked it to generate a sequence of topics for a course. It starts off great with intro topics, and then the topics get progressively more advanced. But then suddenly lists an intro topic it had already listed, before going back to advanced topics.

What it did was it took an alternative completion from the most likely in that moment, even though logically it was 100% not likely. That's why you can't tryst anything this technology outputs for now. If you ask it what's 1 + 1, 99% of the time it'll tell you 2, but sometimes it'll tell you 3 and then argue with you about why it's 3.
Is the reason because it made data exchange basically universal between languages?

Before XML you had random binary or text formats, so APIs were a lot of work?

Everything is Json now, but XML->Json is not that remarkable.

Why was it such a big deal?
Congress alleges YouTube videos on Adani are ‘algorithmically suppressed’
I’ve seen this mentioned a few times - and it’s technically correct - but people need to remember that games have no natural price, could have been over/under priced in the 90’s or now and that quantity of assets/play time does not equal quality. Cheaper from a price per unit perspective makes it seem like we’re getting a better “deal” now but that isn’t necessarily true.
Regarding EEF and IA you seem to be conflating law and morality.
I assume that their notion of "national security" is not as broad as in the US. I doubt European countries would take "it's commercially competing with Facebook" as a national security threat.
Wow, so that's why there is ugly scaffolding on so many buildings in NYC...
> Sorry, your anthropomorphism issues don't affect me and most others.

It's astonishing to me how the mere idea that beings other than humans do experience a subjective existence is so foreign, some people will instantly disregard it as antromorphism. Accepting that other species are not automatons doesn't automatically ascribe them human traits.

Even more astonishing to me is the observation that it seems to enrage people like you a lot to simply advocate (ie, "preach") for less cruelty towards animals; and how those people always drag the issue down to a meaningless personal level. This isn't about me, or you, or "winning" anything. I simply think less existences should have to end just so privileged people's taste buds can go nuts, so that's what I argue for.
Apple Music Classical: The importance of using metadata for UX
It is just not true that “nobody is doing anything.” CO2 emissions in the United States and Europe are falling and have been doing so for years. To say that is nothing is misrepresenting reality.
I'm not blaming the researchers for anything. They did the research, found a major issue, and got a reward in line with the published expectations, and have not complained about it being too little. Why would I blame them for any of that?

It is only uninformed HN posters imagining that vulnerabilities are worth millions of dollars on some imaginary black market that are complaining about it. Just like they do with every vulnerability disclosure that mentions the size of the bounty.

And by repeating this low-value conversation for the hundredth tube, you (yes, the specific you) are just hijacking the conversation and taking attention from what is unique and interesting about this case into your fantasy grievances about the bounty being too small.
HN first post and no comment? I guess people marveling speechless at the screenshots. Good job!

Would love to hear the backstory why you built that engine!

It means that a layoff will make their stock go up. Normally a layoff makes your stock go down so then companies avoids them. But currently stocks go up after layoffs, so companies rush to do them.

That's ridiculous..

There's a huge difference between supporting a product fully developed, designed and marketed from China, with Chinese companies taking all of the margins -- versus a product with various sub-components with razor thin margins supplied from China.

China is desperate to climb up from low-value, low-margin contract manufacturing to higher end work. Their rising wage levels and demographic shift demands it.

The rest of the world needs to put its foot down and say "No, you can keep taking low end contracts if you want, but if you want to move up the chain you have to grow up and act like a mature industrialized country. If you're not going to let foreign companies operate and compete on fair terms in your country, don't expect us to let your companies compete freely in our countries."

Manufacturing is already slowly moving out of China due to rising labor costs and automation. If we stop buying stuff fully owned, designed and marketed from China, the pressure will keep increasing for China to get its act together.

I mean, otherwise we might as well giving up on designing and marketing anything in the west. China will have a crazy advantage if they get to play by completely different and unfair rules, ignoring our IP laws, getting subsidized shipping on everything (since they're a "developing" country), getting to ignore quality control because returns are hopeless, getting to flood Amazon with low-quality products with fake reviews, while working from the place where all this stuff is manufactured anyway.
I fully expect people to adopt something like "error:validation-error" for the type field, followed by decades of arguments whether that's ok (it follows the URI format, but does it identify a resource?)
I think the other thing that matters is that the relative proportions of vowel tones correspond to a word the listener expects to hear given the sentence/situation. A word pronounced so unconventionally it's been turned into a homophone for another word will still generally be understood, even if the listener notices the "wrong" vowel tone. Which is where the 2bn parameters comes in...
The cat isn't going back into the bag. Doubly so if AGI really just requires a bigger neural net.

Let says we had, globally, the political will to "ban" AI. How would that even work in practical terms? Are we going to control the production and distribution of GPUs? Is that going to work better or worse than controlling nuclear proliferation given that there are billions of processors already out there?
I understand what you are saying but I'm old fashioned (or naive) enough to think that entertainment companies are supposed to be about art (and I'm using the word in an admittedly hand-wavy sort of way) and not about finding cheap money and/or growing headcount.

It already reads wrong if throwing money at my "competitors" somehow gives them some kind of advantage over me. That sounds factory-like (but then I am also coming to believe that what others call "AAA" games may not be the same kind of thing that drew me into gaming).
You are forgetting this little stash of nukes Russia has. It is safer for China to be "friends" with Russia and get their resources at discount.
> Incompetent but nice is still, literally, incompetent. Incompetent people get dismissed.

Unless management is also an enabler/part of such incompetence.
I was lucky enough to get to play with a few coffee grinders recently, and also came to this conclusion. I now have an old commercial on-demand grinder with new burrs and the extraction and crema are a huge leap above my old pro-sumer model.
> I can start TokTok and do the same thing legally.

Isn't that the whole idea here? I mean, with TokTok being a US company, obviously.

> Doesn't sound like protecting kids is the goal here.

Indeed.
Of course - what also helps is that writing speed with chalk is somewhat slower than writing speed with pen & paper, so that gives the audience some opportunity to catch up.
On that topic, see the reaction to Rust. Rust has pros and cons, but perhaps the fairly high entry barrier shouldn't be considered a real issue for people who deal with very sophisticated abstractions and requirements all day long?
As Kaplan-Moss pointed out in the original article, "incompetent" depends on the context and circumstances, and you may be able to remedy these in order to turn an incompetent employee into a competent one.

To take a very straw-mannish example, suppose you hired a Python developer but due to some admin fuckup they were added to the Android team. The easiest remedy is to move them to the Python team. The second easiest is to ask if they are interested in learning Android, and if so give them the time and support to get up to speed. The worst option here is to just fire them: you lose a potentially valuable employee you spent time and money bringing on board, possibly damage their career as a result, and hurt team morale overall.
Offices allowed a form of pushibg work into other people. Email can do that too.

Daycare is a possibility instead of having one parent takes care of kids. If that’s not an option there are other creative child care options emerging that can work.

As for not working like someone without kids.. maybe I could learn to be twice as effective with half the time at work like having to be as a parent. Sometimes we can’t reframe work to work harder than we feel we should have to.

The bottom lines is off the life we want is uncommon it might take an uncommon approach and balance.

Many childless people are very inefficient with their time too as contrast.

Managing interruptions and organizing projects into very small steps to better be able to use tiny pockets of time after proving to be critical and a super power.
The comment above doesn't read as a "yes, but" questioning the experiences of workers, it reads as questioning the assertion that hands on work that cannot be performed telecommuting from home is "mostly carried out by women".

It's a fair question; while I recognise the role of women as care givers, etc it's also true that in many countries trades (mechanics, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, buildrs, tilers, etc) are male heavy jobs, point of sale, bartending, etc. have a large number of men, etc.

FWiW I question any demarcation over gender and remote work as here (Australia) women are as capable of doing either (telecommute | hands on) and do so - and whatever splits there are today on numbers may change five years down the track.
> So, gender "equality" of the spouse of my coworker is reason enough for my coworker to slack off

Put it the other way around: gender inequality of someone having a stay-at-home-wife is not reason enough for everyone else to be working the same. Having a stay-at-home-wife can't be the only way to equalize to childless workers.

> All that counts, in this subjective report of mine, is my experience.

My personal experience is the opposite. Office-goers perform worse, are the lesser talent left behind by those that can afford to leave for full WFH jobs, and try to compensate by putting in more office-chair-time and office politics, which just compounds to more problems for those that actually work.

There you go.
Their client is nowadays better than any other Matrix client I've used. You can now even start chats from it to Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram etc. networks you've connected into.

They just upgraded their server into their own system, written in Go. Before that they used Dendrite which is open source. I think they also rewrote all their bridges recently.

It's hope. Teens need it. It's a theological virtue that we've publicly discarded in pursuit of a more theatrical lifestyle.
If their motive wasn't the bounty, and it is just an unexpected bonus, why complain about it being too small?
What is counterintuitive in OPs statement if we're talking about eating meat?

> Rape feels good and no amount of preaching is changing that. Has similarly been part of human culture for time immemorial.

> [Meat] is tasty and no amount of your religious preaching is going to change that.

There is no ambiguity here? A rapist doesn't regard the feelings of their victims. Someone who eats an animal doesn't regard the feelings of that animal. In both cases, it's clear who enjoys that situation and who suffers for it.
I’ve been in China recently, one of the most popular forms of transport is the electric scooter. They outnumber cars around me. Many people just don’t bother with cars.
I do. But not like its sound proof. And sometimes your partner just needs help. And other times your kids stop by and ask for something. You can say you’re “at work” as much as you want, but you’re still at home.

And yes, I am sure once everyone is at school for a big chunk of the day it all gets much easier.
Honestly, it's hard! We try our best through a few strategies:

- At this time Marvin is only tested with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 to reduce the surface area of LLM differences. You're welcome to try others, but the prompts are optimized for performance of those two models

- I expect that prompts optimized for one family of models will not automatically work with others, so as time allows we may end up with branching prompts based on your model choice. Marvin does a lot of work to manipulate the user prompt before sending it to the LLM so I think there's an excellent chance that we could deliver similar results for the same user input.

- Even with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 we see a remarkable difference between them, with 4 needing far less complex prompts than 3.5 to get the same result. However, given both the cost and availability of GPT-4, we decided to make 3.5 our default to make sure everyone can use the library. Therefore we do our best to make sure prompts work with 3.5 and expect that that is a good bet of compatibility with 4.
Well performing people by their performance reviews.
That hearing with the CEO wasn't a good look for TikTok, either. I especially liked the part where he said his kids don't use it. And "Project Texas" sounds like something Jìan-Yáng would come up with in Silicon Valley.
Do you have any examples that come to mind of it being slow? My experience has been that I've been the slowest part of my code, by a long way.

Some optimisations aren't quite there (like under on higher rank arrays not being as fast as computing the indices on the flattened array), but everything else has been good.
It's always somehow funny to think about toothpaste and how it is actually an abrasive, a colloid of tiny solid particles, rather than a surfactant like most other everyday cleaning agents. Which is why it can be used to polish headlights, clean whiteboards, etc.
Show HN: Listidge – for sharing lists. Wishlists, todo lists, collections etc.
Hello HN,

I'd like to introduce you to the first prototype of Listidge, a list-sharing web app. The demo went live yesterday and I'd love to hear your feedback. For the demo use the provided login demo/demo or you can register your own account (no email required).

Listidge tries to make it super simple to create and share to-do lists, wishlists, collections and more with anyone. Once your list is ready for sharing you can publish to a URL that anyone can visit without logging in. I was frustrated with proprietary wishlists that lock you in and thought a simple "list sharing concept" could apply to lots of other things like to-dos, collections, mood boards etc.

It's open source under the AGPL license, written in Python, Django and Bootstrap. It can be self-hosted and run from source or in a single container. Images are available on Docker Hub (links below) or build it from the provided Dockerfile in the repo. I am rusty on frontend dev so feedback would be much appreciated!

The demo is limited to just three types of list and editing is crude: add/delete only. However I hope it's enough to demonstrate the overall idea.

The demo: https://listidge-4k8mz.ondigitalocean.app/
The repo: https://gitlab.com/thegalagic/listidge
The image: https://hub.docker.com/r/iantwenty/listidge

Thanks in advance!

As the AI can't do more than provide existing ratings (which are possibly bogus), the AI won't solve the trust issue with regard to endorsement (and I believe this is where the earlier comment was leading, that even for appropriately placed ads in traditional media, trust was still an issue.)

However the issue with online advertising extends beyond being reputable - the ads themselves are excessively and poorly matched to the user's interest. This is where my original comment attempts to address that AI could solve this problem if Bing/et.al. allow it to: AI has the potential to place ads in a way where they are useful to the user, even if the user decides that the product is not worthwhile. Existing ad platforms could do this too - they just don't because boosting impressions is profitable. (Hence the decay we see in Google.com, Amazon.com, ebay.com etc - genuine results come far after the ads and the ad labelling has become more and more subtle.)

On ChatGTP/others: The issue with AI is that it speaks falsehoods with equal confidence as facts, so just like reading a comments section on the internet, one can be led in the right direction, but ultimately they can't take the information for granted. At the moment there is a definite number of people who let ChatGPT/others spoonfeed them information and that's going to lead to problems, this imparts a loss of faith in the advertising trust issue too.

The Stasi kept files on about 5.6 million people. The Stasi had 90,000 full-time employees who were assisted by 170,000 full-time unofficial collaborators (Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter); together these made up 1 in 63 (nearly 2%) of the entire East German population.[1]

There are many styles of APL, not just due to its long history, but also because APL is somewhat agnostic to architecture paradigms. You can see heavily imperative code with explicit branching all over the place, strongly functional-style with lots of small functions, even object-oriented style.

However, given the aesthetic that you express, I think you might like https://github.com/Co-dfns/Co-dfns/. This is hands-down my favorite kind of APL, in which the data flow literally follows the linear code flow.

Illegal drugs are a perfect competition market like grain or white label milk. Not really a big opportunity to differentiate with a brand as you can't register a trademark or defend it in court (lol). A minor price advantage brings vendors a magnified sales volume because it is just so cutthroat. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal
How many of the comments in this thread are posted by AI?

Not by humans using AI. By AI.

Tron: Identity Releasing in April
Right? Imagine a bot not only putting up a website, but a constellation of website, generating all the conversations there, generating news articles, imagery, sound, and video to go with it, and also evolving them in real time based on social media response. Today media companies A/B test their stories; in the future, AI will A/B test entire media companies.
"Humans are still by far the greatest threat to our humanity."

This, but replace "humans" with "intelligence". One of the risks is augmented humans as well. A human with a chainsaw is more dangerous to other humans, even when that chainsaw is a tool.

There's really no research done on what humans can actually do with AGI. Part of the fears are similar to industrial age.

I think it's good though. We got through COVID from the lessons of past pandemics and we got through 2008 and 2023 from the lessons of past recessions and bubbles. We've already planned for AI not to be Skynet and Asimov has run several scenarios.
> So we need an FP language doing what GoLang did to C++.

What we need is an FP language that doesn't pretend that outside world doesn't exist. A pragmatical one.

This is why Erlang/Elixir or even C# or hell even Javascript/Typescript are better FPs for the vast majority of programmers (and beginner programmers, too) than Haskell.
But that's just the word on the street. We don't have access to Googles performance reviews to judge. Plus, from my experience, performance reviews are pretty meaningless. They just measure how much you conform to the corporate hive mind rather than how good you are as an engineer.

And to play the devis advocate, if you don't need those people anymore, why keep them, regardless of their performance reviews?

Just to have the most expensive seat warmers in the world?
Yes, but who is actually creating the text? Who is sitting there and literally choosing the words in the bill? Mark Warner does not have the technical knowledge to write this, and I doubt he has the time either. I want to know who’s thoughts are becoming law in this country.
Ok, slack & notion are bad examples because often the entire team is on it by default.

But imagine tools, where there is high aversion to adding more seats unless you're 100% sure. Like CRM & CMS systems, or like Support tools (Zendesk), or shared inbox tools (like Front) or project management tools (Asana) and so many others.
During the 2 years of COVID WFH, I got to see my baby grow up and be there for all the milestones. For the next baby, it's full RTO and I've been feeling guilty this whole time that I'm not able to give the same amount of attention to him. His sister learnt extremely fast because I would be there every other hour just playing and asking questions for just a few minutes.

Sorry second kid, you'll have the same attention that I was given when growing up.

On the other hand, people who claim to be more productive with kids running and screaming around them, I think your brains are special. There's no way in hell I can figure out why a dependent service 3 levels deep is OOMing while my kid is tugging at my pants screaming "read to me!!!!!!" And it showed in my performance reviews. I gave presentations with a crying baby in hand, causing me to just totally blank out.
