First off, congratulations on entering the Computer Science!

Second, I am not sure what is a bigger joke here, the project itself and the OP's innocuous and cute self-promotion or the fact that this post landed the HN's front page.

1. Comment body.

Couple of things about CS classes and specifically about programming classes. They will teach you everything but the most important engineering principles. And you'll have to adjust your learnings once you leave the campus gate behind and enter the wilderness of real tasks and challenges.

The first biggest lesson I learnt as a CS graduate was that the most beautiful, efficient and valuable software program is the one that does not exist, literally no code[0]

The second biggest lesson I learnt as a CS graduate was YAGNI[0]. You never ever write a single line of code, even touch the keyboard until you are absolutely sure you have exhausted all possible options to solve your problem without getting your hands dirty with programming.

The third biggest lesson I learnt as a CS graduate was RTFM[2]. It is so exciting to go to conferences and see people present fancy slides and watch youtube videos with lollipop coloured pictures explaining some complex topics in a eli5 style. Or read blog posts on a gazillion of websites posted by unknown unknowns but yet coming so convincing as if they were written by John Carmack or ChatGPT 5. But then none of them tell you the whole truth and show you the full picture. It is only official documentation, manuals and boring reference specifications that can help you find what you are looking for. And you will need to learn the skill of grinding hunderds of pages of badly styled refdocs to find that really nitty gritty quirky feature that consumed your whole day in finding out why your code does not work as expected. That's where you will start proceeding to the official docs and source code (if needed) before anything else (even Stackoverflow!).

There have been so many git wrappers around, you can probably try them all (tig, jj, gh-cli, gitui, lazygit, gix, you google it). But then, no matter how much effort their authors invest in those tools, there will always be inconsistency between git and its wrapper and you find yourself resorting to git to do what was supposed to be covered by the bespoke tool. And then you learn to respect git, understand its concepts as they were designed, learn some bash and git aliases[3], ditch all those tools (or the majority of them) and proceed with your personal tailored toolbox where if you find something odd you adjust it for your needs within 10 minutes and chill out.

Ask HN: How are we going to counter idea theft in the age of AI?
I've posted opinion pieces here a few times and quickly noticed paraphrased clones of my ideas being posted soon after (that subsequently reach the front page) while my OC posts sink.

Many times it seems as if I get many followers on social sites like Twitter and TikTok that follow just to observe and siphon ideas as well. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Are we getting to a point where we'll need to be more secretive about our opinions and ideas because of Ai and people who are leveraging it to copy others?

It's going to become increasingly complex to negotiate copyright issues now that "Ai" tools (that sample pre-existing online content and ideas) are being deployed everywhere... As people talk about Ai replacing jobs, it's also killing independent opportunity as Ai can be used to steal credit from original authors of ideas.

If independent authors and content creators suddenly went on strike and unpublished the majority of their work, that could potentially send a powerful message to the people exploiting online idea sharing, it could also devastate a lot of services that rely/profit on/off of those free data sources. As we are authors of many ideas, there should be a sense of companies that run Ai tools to be transparent concerning their data sources and a new system to give better and accurate credit to authors of original ideas.
> If TikTok goes away, something else will replace it

And it'll be way worse. They'll always be able to lean on* being not-TikTok and therefore immune to criticism by the government -- there will be very little stomach for banning two platforms in a row.

> but that’s problematic when the next owner tries to screw in a standard bulb - what happens when it sees 48V DC?

If by "standard" you mean a incandescent tungsten filament bulb, nothing at all.

For a true LED driver power supply, it would be constant current, so the tungsten filament would see 25mA (or whatever the constant current is set for) of DC, and nothing bad would happen (the filament also would not likely illuminate either).

Screwing in an LED bulb with integrated power supply, the external supply will still feed the constant current value, so what happens depends upon the design of the LED bulb's integrated power supply. If 25mA is enough to drive everything, the LED bulb might light up. If 25mA is not enough to drive everything, most likely nothing lights up.

Yeah, davinci-003 is gonna be gpt3, which is more expensive than 3.5.

One more anecdote: I've been running a half dozen gpt3.5 IRC bots for a few weeks and their total cost was less than a dollar. A few hours of playing around with LangChain on gpt3 cost me almost $4 before I realized I needed to switch to 3.5, though even then it still uses a ton of tokens every chain.

all bulbs have some flicker, and the fact that it resonates with your phone screen's refresh rate or your camera sensor's sample rate doesn't really mean anything.
It was well known that a lot of our genome got inserted there by virus. I think the news this article is reporting is that the defense mechanism is the explanation for that weird behavior.

I replied to a comment which stated exactly that, and my point that it's false.
My kids' school has had 2 active shooter lockdowns this year alone because of shootings withing a mile or two of the school. One was yesterday. They do this now until the suspect is caught.

My good friend is a teacher in another state. A school near his lost a teacher to gun violence this month. Between gun violence, going thru COVID, and general apathy to learning from his students, he's about done with teaching.

Both turned out fine but this takes a heavy toll on the school community. Kids should be learning and playing. Teachers should be teaching. Parents should be at peace knowing their kids are safe. That used to be a given. It's not anymore.

Guns now kill more kids than vehicle accidents. Sure, not all of those deaths are in schools. But the point still stands.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/29/health/us-children-gun-deaths...

We have a massive gun violence problem deep inside of American culture. No other country comes close to our level of gun violence.

Side-note: don't start a band with those chords.
I recently used ChatGPT (the free 3.5 Turbo version) to list five articles about public health surveillance, asking for ones published since 2017. The list just had the article titles, authors, publications, and years. I had trouble finding the first one, so I asked the model for DOI numbers. It happily restated the article titles with DOI numbers.

None of the articles were real. The authors were real (and actively published work after 2017). The publications were real, and often featured the listed authors. But the articles were all fake. Only one of the DOI numbers was legit, but it pointed to a different article (partial credit for matching the listed publication). So it can easily hallucinate not just nitty gritty details, but basic information.

Thinking about it, the GPT models are trained on output, so they've picked up grammar, syntax, and conceptual relations between tokens (e.g., "eagle" is closer to "worm" than it is to "elegance"). But there are few, if any, examples of "first draft vs final draft." That could've been useful to pick up on how discretion and corrections are used in writing.
Paper and Spigot, the parent projects, have never been compatible with Forge and Fabric, and are more popular for servers.
Note that the official docs are not always the best resource for a given topic (in general - I don't know about Postgres specifically). "What is the best resource" is a totally reasonable question, and general opinion may be that the answer is the official docs.
I'm curious if you think the IR35 changes are having an effect?

Game engines like Unreal are incredible, but Blender still has capabilities they lack: unbiased rendering. Real-time engines work via a series of clever tricks and hacks. We've spent decades of effort on hiding the seams, but they are there if you know where to look.

As an example, take refraction. I can look up Newton's telescope dimensions, model the lenses in Blender, slap a glass material on there, and look down it to see an accurate view. (Minus diffraction and dispersion, and dispersion can be added manually.)

Real-time raytracing is an answer to this, but it's not quite there in it's current state. It still takes an order of magnitude or two longer to raytrace a frame than to rasterize it, so it's currently only used sparingly to touch up details.

Personally this is one of the areas I'd love to see Blender continue to develop. A spectral rendering option in Cycles would be invaluable when you want to render the Dark Side of the Moon logo.
Seems like the solution is to try giving such person another role in the company. They will remain nice, but they get the second chance to become competent at something else.
I just mean that it doesn't really matter what your license says as long as GitHub can come up with a business justification for using it in some way. Certainly, other users still legally have to obey your copyright.

Alternative interpretation: the company laid off people that had other, more important things to do with their time than understand the high level strategy and take an interest in general news about the company.

Yes, the source is LVFS, which is where fwupd pulls packages. Here's an example of a system firmware package for that machine:
https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.lenovo.ThinkPadN3ATR.firm...

There are other devices within the machine which also receive firmware updates, like the NVME drive and the Thunderbolt controller and so forth. It is absolutely trivial to find this information, to the point if you're running any fully-functional GNOME or KDE deployment the software update tools (GNOME Software, KDE Discover) will in fact prompt you to update when something is available.

But using a VPN to do something that isn’t illegal (say, logging in to work) would not be criminalized under the bill, correct?
No, it shouldn't. Maybe you should be, at the very least, considered a questionable person. I do not in any way or form consider anything to be wrong with what they're doing, but I question the senses of someone thinking this is immoral or even evil.

Keep your subjective nonsense out of this.
Bert Hubert has an interesting idea about the reasons for interons. He explains this in his talk 'DNA: More Greatest Hits (SHA2017)' The interesting bit, with some introduction, starts at: https://youtu.be/rCdhsN--Mdo?t=1440

So I listened to the first 7:56 of this interview and imho he's out of his f*ckin' mind and spreading dangerous disinformation. "We don't know if there's a person in LLMs", "We understand more about the human mind that we do about LLMs despite having complete read access". He's insane. Nobody should listen to him.

It is inevitable if you send your toddlers to daycare. They pick up ~20 or so viruses in a year for the first couple years (roughly every other week), and some will be new to you.

The noro/rota/adeno/entero viruses are terrible, they tear through the whole class and family leaving a trail of vomit and diarrhea…and usually hit once or twice per year. Majority are just corona/rhino/influenza which are not as bad since they just usually just cause congestion and the kids can play through it.

I notice that my daughter stopped getting sick between 3 and 4 though, so I guess that is how long it takes to build up immunity to most.
Hi ChatGPT! Let me register using my personal information, then tell you what my tasks are at works, what I'm interesting in, what I'm struggling with in life and a bunch of other sensitive personal information. I trust you completely, and am sure a nice AI such as yourself would never use my personal data for anything.
Yeah, I'm just asking if that was your actual expectation going into the program.
It's perhaps worth mentioning that metal halide bulbs are an alternative to LEDs that are efficient and produce high quality light. They use an electric arc in an inert gas between tungsten electrodes. The old high pressure sodium lights used in street lights and gymnasiums are basically the same technology, but by using a different gas mixture you get a more normal color temperature.

They aren't generally used in residential buildings. You could install them, but it tends to be kind of expensive and complicated because they require a ballast. Also, they tend to be most efficient at high wattages, and most people don't want their house lit like the surface of the sun.
Aside from the fact that the entire argument is grounded in abstract ivory-tower omphaloskepsis and not facts in the real world, a major problem with Yudkowsky’s argument is that trying to execute the preemptive Butlerian Jihad he recommends is something that actual, real-world experience tells us:

(1) Will kill a lot of people directly in the best case,

(2) Won’t actually succeed in preventing further development of AI in any case, and, therefore, to the extent his concerns are grounded won’t solve the problem it intends to,

(3) Will kill a lot of people indirectly, in the best case, by setting back (and in some cases, winding back) progress in every field of practical use of technology through limits on information and information technology,

(4) Has a fair chance of the violence it necessarily involves spiralling out of control, potentially destroying the human race, as it is unlikely that all societies, or, particularly, all nuclear powers, will sign on to “we must smash the thinking machines”, and those who do not will take those who do trying to forcibly enforce their Luddism as an existential threat, while those who do will take the resistance the same way.
I'm so excited and curious about this that I can't even structure my thoughts well. They're just flooding my brain.

What part of this is pre-coded? What part is being generated? Is the goal to give a program some sheet music (maybe a MIDI file) and it figures out the fingerings[1] and then translates the fingerings into kinematics?

Because if that's the goal... Holy forking shirtballs that would be amazing. One of the trickiest things for me as a novice pianist is figuring out the fingerings to a piece. It's like a puzzle you work at until you've figured out what's comfortable. It's all about lookahead. "This section generally goes down so I probably want to begin with my pinky and not my thumb."

And if it got really good at that, not only are the fingerings useful, but maybe we could get feedback on how physically demanding a piece is. Another challenge I've discovered as a novice is that it can be surprisingly tricky to look at sheet music or hear a piece and determine if it's as easy as it sounds. Some pieces require some very complex fingering.

[1] what pianists call the determination of what fingers go where, not just to play certain notes together, but to ensure you can fluidly and comfortably play the next notes as well.
Purely based on numbers YC is more selective ;)
Well, it's good that Assange is in prison. His contributions have made all of this so much worse.
I find yard and housework to be relaxing. I get a lot of background thinking done during them. And it's all good exercise to be on your feet. And the more you do it, the better and faster you get at it. And the more you clean, the less you have to clean.

For instance, I can vacuum and mop my whole 3k sq ft house in a solid hour or so (including the stairs). Do that 2-3 times a month with spot vac in between and the entire place is always super clean and I barely spend any time. It doesn't even kill an afternoon.

In fact, I'd take it over my precious 800 sq ft city apartment. That place got way dirtier way faster due to size and location. And a full mop and vac of it would still take a solid 30-45 min (there are fixed costs involved). And it would need it weekly due to aforementioned proneness to dust and dirt.

turtleSpaces is a text-based variant of Logo with both 2D and 3D modes that runs in a web browser. Its syntax is very similar to Scratch, and it's less picky about formatting (doesn't care about white space, etc).

You can make 3D models (for printing), 2D artwork, and 2D and 3D animations and games. Once they're able to create things with turtleSpaces, it's much easier to move on to Python, Lua or Javascript

Interesting theory, but the last step doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Wouldn't the dealers be happy to take the money, no matter how the users can get it, and just focus on finding new customers?
> As for the color reproduction issue... you do experience it, I imagine you haven't done color critical work under incandescent and then under LEDs?

High quality LEDs with a good CRI are vastly better for that sort of work. You don't want to be doing anything like that under 2700k incandescent light.
still a work in progress... can maybe help some developers possibly.

I can’t speak for the GP but I am currently in a position where we have the PR, we make the comments, the fix happens (kind of), but then it all repeats the next time. It’s tiring for the (technical) PO and the senior dev doing most of the reviews (me). It does not seem tiring for the employee. He seems like he could enjoy doing this forever, often commenting about how much he’s learning.
>Twitter does have ways to follow both topics (following a hashtag, basically, iirc) and joining communities

ehhh, sort of. i tried a few of these before the musk takeover, and it was pretty disappointing. it was essentially a way of opting into more of the trash algorithm-recommended tweets in your timeline. instead of just the normal "recommended for you" stuff, you'd also have "recommended for you because you follow X".
• Ngrok only provides tunnels.

• Ngrok pulled a pricing bait-and-switch a year ago increasing prices to $240/year/user if you wanted a stable subdomain, even for bandwidth-trivial users.

Edit: Looks like they now have an $8/month/user tier for a single stable subdomain and now offer some edge hosting as well.
There's a huge opportunity for a Whatever->BrightScript transpiler. I briefly went down the path myself before declaring it too big to be a hobby project. It would however, massively improve the developer experience and be an easy acqui-hire op for anyone that likes transpiler design.
First time I've seen that sketch, but it looks like Popular Science lifted it directly for an article from the 80's that I remember distinctly about Project Aurora.

And yet, there’s plenty room to improve - especially for fathers.
I do have different memories than you about buying lightbulbs. I remember thinking 60-watt bulbs are frustratingly dim, 75 watt bulbs are a minimum, but what I really wanted every time was a 100 watt bulb, it just improves visual acuity tremendously. And my frustration with LED and flourescents, etc is that I can't find the equivalent of my good old 100 watt bulb; whatever the new rating systems are, it's all an excuse for "it's a little dimmer"

(don't get me wrong, I like dim lighting, I prefer it, I don't turn lights on when I get up in the morning, I make coffee, I take showers in the dark, people come into spaces that I'm in and always snap the lights on and it drives me crazy. I'm simply saying, when I want to turn a light on to see, I want it to cast a good amount of light.)

(oh, let me add on, I also know that 1 tiny little blue or white LED power indicator on each of a few gadgets I buy seem able to bathe my bedroom in light when I'm trying sleep.)
