I've done some quick-and-dirty testing with OpenAI's embedding API + Zilliz Cloud. The 1st gen embeddings leave something to be desired (https://medium.com/@nils_reimers/openai-gpt-3-text-embedding...), but the 2nd gen embeddings are actually fairly performant relative to many open source models with MLM loss.

I'll have to dig out the notebook that I created for this, but I'll try to post it here once I find it.
Again that totalitarian idea that we should all agree on something and then all do the same?

Why not everyone just live and let other live and decide for themselves. Then, if majority is wrong and they all die, there will still be some people to survive.
> but that's one possible way to judge

Sure, as is one possible way for me to judge that judgement is that folks will excuse and explain away all sorts of bad behaviors of the people that they identify as allies to a specific cause they support. Doesn’t make them right, it just makes them assholes…at least from my POV.

I'm not saying this is false, but it sure is setting off my BS detectors, so I'd be curious for other perspectives.

I was taught in school that Europeans traded and used spices specifically in order to mask the smell of rotting meat, and then learned later as an adult that was total BS. The story had seemed so tantalizing -- we were so primitive just a few centuries ago, thank goodness we're in the modern world! But nope -- rotten meat is just rotten meat and it's revolting period. Spices were expensive, and the people who could afford spices sure as heck weren't eating rotten meat.

And then I read this article and there are a lot of comments by explorers describing eating rotten meat -- but explorers were often trying to highlight just how primitive these "other" peoples are -- look at their disgusting practices, unlike civilized man!

And then the article also repeatedly conflates rotten with fermented, when these are quite different things with different effects. It also ignores the fact that something can be rotten on the outside, but once you cut those parts off, the inside is perfectly fine. That's the whole principle behind dry-aged beef, after all. And even in English, hákarl, which is fermented shark, is often incorrectly referred to as "rotten shark", presumably to increase the shock value for tourists.

And look, I'm an incredibly adventurous eater. I've overcome a lot of things that initially were aversions. But I simply don't see how you can overcome an aversion to actual rotting meat. It would seem to be on par with an aversion to eating feces.

What does seem plausible is that, as we know, fermenting and aging meat is a thing, and that people who aren't used to fermenting can find it disgusting and mistake it for rotting, and that explorers confused the two and sometimes even embellished their accounts for dramatic effect, again to highlight just how primitive these people were. But the idea that humans regularly ate rotten meat -- all I'll say is, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Do we really have that evidence?

"After some research, we found this blog post by Mattias Geniar, which explained how Google was forcing .dev domains to be served via HTTPS through a preloaded HSTS setting in their Chrome browsers - which Firefox later adopted too."

Imagine if Google did not have and control its own browser, Chrome. In theory then Google could not force the author to purchase a .dev.domain. What's sad here is that according to the author Mozilla has followed Google's lead. Note this has nothing to do with fact that Mozilla's main source of income is Google, and Chrome was developed by former Mozilla employees who went to work for Google.

It is possible to use a browser other than Chrome or Firefox (or Safari, Edge, Brave, etc.) that has no XSS risk because the browser does not auto-load resources. This alleviates need for HSTS as a means to prevent XSS (NB. there are other purported justifications for using HSTS besides preventing XSS). How do I know it is possible. Because I use one. For recreational web use, like reading sites submitted to HN. Freedom of choice.

It's also possible to run a localhost-bound forward proxy where one can set HSTS to whatever value one desires, or remove the header entirely. Instead of relying on an advertising company, one can use the proxy to "upgrade" http:// to https://. All outgoing HTTP requests can be encrypted and connections to local port 80 can be forwarded to remote 443. I know it's possible because this is what I do. Unlike HSTS, the proxy "fixes" any application sending HTTP requests, not only a browser that supports HSTS. The proxy can also limit the sites the user wishes to trust.^1

That is the real issue I have with HSTS. It further removes (i.e., makes more difficult) the ability of the user to determine what sites she will trust, placing that decision in the hands of third parties, namely those that control the "CA system". It's already annoying enough that Chrome forces users to type a shibboleth into a keylogger to get past certificate warnings. HSTS makes it even more annoying. It is unfriendly for users who in some situations trust their own decision-making more than they trust Google and CAs.

"At first, we thought we could opt out of HSTS preload, but it doesn't seem like that'd be possible. Even if you access your Chrome's HSTS settings via chrome://net-internals/#hsts, you'll see Google doesn't allow you to remove preloaded HSTS entries."

This is telling. The risk of a user inadvertently disabling HSTS is close to zero. This is plain and simple removal of the ability of the user to control the program.

One option for users is to remove the entries in the Chromium source then re-compile.
Layup and Tennr are both using our team plan. We cited these two since they gave us quotes to use on our website. They are great products that we are excited to support! We also have several teams outside of YC on the team and pro plans.
I agree with you. But I think the problem is that our society doesn't really know what that is until many years after the fact and its really hard to measure. Personally I would absolutely support a policy where teachers who have better test scores (by some metric. Same district? same city? same state? raw numbers?) get more money. A company can pretty easily see X brought in more than Y revenue. Tough for a school.
My (NC) property has too many pine trees to maintain with an electric blower and rake, although I've tried! Running the gas blower pains me - I hate the noise it creates, so I try to at least minimize running it and restrict it to afternoons / early evenings. However I have successfully transitioned to an electric mower, which has been great.
It's the only thing that makes me consider installing it.

I'm only half joking.... I think we likely will end up with flags for human generated/curated content (and it will have to be that way round, as I can't imagine spammers bothering to put flags on AI-generated stuff), and we probably already should have an equivalent of robots.txt protocol that allows users to specify which parts of their website they would and wouldn't like used in the training of LLMs.
I'm curious about this as well. There are potentially many different versions of embedding models used in production and correlating different versions together could be very important.

Short answer:

For employees: background checks, DLP, and rock-solid audit logs. Make sure employees know that access to the customer material is audited and logged, and that unauthorized access is a fireable offense.

For external adversaries: a good information security program. This will include TVM, EDR, SIEM at a bare minimum. This need not be a commercial solution, but if going the open source route, remember that just because it isn't a financial investment doesn't mean it's not an investment to take seriously.

Also, keep in mind that the 'I' and the 'A' of the CIA triad are not to be ignored. You should have a good BCDR program with redundant backups and you should make sure you can recover from them too.

There's so much more to go into here than can reasonably fit into a single post, but I hope this is a good starting point.

My first experience with Oracle (this was a long time ago, and I suspect they didn't even call it EXPLAIN). Anyway, I found it significantly better and clearer than the EXPLAIN output from Postgres or MySQL.

There was a query being emitted by the anti-fraud software of a certain well-known US bank, that was taking 45 minutes to run, which didn't please the fraud team. This fraud team weren't highly-paid elites; they were drudge workers, as much at risk of burnout as anyone.

Anyway, I was tasked with fixing this (low-importance) problem. I managed to figure out what the problem was with the query, with the help of EXPLAIN. I reconstructed the query so it ran in less than 10 seconds, and submitted the patch.

It took two months for the DBAs to let me add the requisite index to production. They'd given me a copy of the production database, eventually, so I could test my change, and make sure it didn't break anything else; but they still held it back. DBAs were very anally-retentive in those days.

I got no credit for that (except from myself :-). I'm happy to pat myself on the back for reducing the query time from absurd to reasonable, and by a factor of 1/270.

I've never used Oracle since, by the way; it's always looked to me like a blind alley. But $FINCORP used to like Oracle, and the Oracle DBAs were treated like ghodz.

Collecting books that go back to the start of the printing press era is wild (manuscripts even more so!). The only things even coming close to a standard were the punchcutters [1] used to make the casts for movable type. The printing press was a relatively simple device but the punchcutters were some of the highest precision tools available before the industrial revolution so they were produced by a small group of craftsmen and guilds. Pretty much the only way to visually verify any printing in the first few centuries is to have all of the distinct punchcutter styles memorized because the vast majority of "counterfeits" are reprints, not attempts at tricking a book collector. Even then you can only conclusively identify something as fake, you have to know a whole book of tricks in book binding, printing, and paper making to conclusively say something is genuine (often requiring destructive chemical testing!)

The worst part about collecting old and rare books is that all the databases are themselves rare and old books. Book collectors hoard bibliographies so while they're not very expensive - since there isn't enough of a market for laymen to price discover - they're downright impossible to find because they get snatched up right away. Without those bibliographies, there are no contemporaneous sources of information on how many prints and editions a book went through or any identifying features. Libgen and Libz have been godsends because sooner or later many of them get archived by some library or collection and uploaded by a pirate/archiver (the vast majority are out of copyright but pirate sites are the most accessible central databases around).

For anyone who wants to learn more, I recommend Philip Gaskell's A New Introduction to Bibliography [2] which is a bit more academic and technical than Carter's ABC of Book Collecting mentioned in the OP.

> If we call a book “sophisticated,” we’re saying that we know the book was tampered with, faked or “someone tried very hard to make this look like a first edition,” but that we also feel this perhaps adds to its historical value rather than subtracts.

If you trade in rare and old books, for fucks sake don't do this shit. "Buyer beware" doesn't work for any book of value unless you're Sotheby's and the book is famous for being suspect. If I see a book collector trying to pass off a book they know is possibly a fake with code words like "sophisticated," I immediately assume the provenance of all their books is suspect.

The truth is that desktop Linux is a novelty feature of the OS and mostly exists so core Linux devs can dogfood their own changes. Linux is still developed first and foremost as a server/cloud hosting OS. The main players in the Linux ecosystem have either abandoned desktop Linux (Canonical, RedHat) or never cared about it in the first place (Intel, IBM). The ones who remain on desktop Linux are extremely user-hostile and opinionated (GNOME devs) or deeply underfunded (KDE). Many of the people who develop the core desktop Linux projects do their work on MacOS!
It's probably better if you just read the FDIC statement: https://www.fdic.gov/news/press-releases/2023/pr23023.html

> As of March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, had approximately $167 billion in total assets and about $119 billion in total deposits. Today's transaction included the purchase of about $72 billion of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association's assets at a discount of $16.5 billion. Approximately $90 billion in securities and other assets will remain in the receivership for disposition by the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC received equity appreciation rights in First Citizens BancShares, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina, common stock with a potential value of up to $500 million.

> The FDIC estimates the cost of the failure of Silicon Valley Bank to its Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) to be approximately $20 billion. The exact cost will be determined when the FDIC terminates the receivership.

Reference? A quick skim of Wikipedia and other articles doesn’t mention this.
It sort of reminds me of the posts that John Gruber has been making pointing out the differences in laptop review between pcs and macs. They get reviewed on entirely different scales. Here’s a quote from the verge:

“For one, I only averaged three hours and 35 minutes of battery life, which would be a big problem even if everything else about this device was incredible. But even while on power, I could feel the thing chugging toward the higher end of my workload. For example, while I was operating a second screen over Thunderbolt, loading some files from external drives, running a few downloads, and trying to work over that in 20-ish Chrome tabs, the Latitude had visible slowdown. I don’t see this as an unrealistic office workload, so that’s concerning.”

It’s like what year is this that a laptop like that doesn’t get a 0/10 review?
It's really not that hard to find 15w LEDs with CRI95+. 15w will be approximately equivalent to a 100 watt bulb. A quick Amazon search pulls up multiple options.

Right now the individual components are responsive, but the entire design as a whole isn't (i.e. top-level components are absolute positioned). This is definitely an area we want to improve a lot, and allow users to customize what happens at different resolutions.
Translated from marketdroid: "We want to force lock in customers, or if that is not possible, annoy them to death with nags if they don't extend the contract."
Asking customer who left you for feedback is generally an annoyance to the customer. My personal policy on this kind of thing is to instant spamlist the company doing it.
Or if not possible, at least not respond.

Face it, either your service is not quite necessary, too expensive, not useful enough or you annoyed the customers to death. There might be no way to keep your particular product going because it just might be one of those pointless ideas that seem nifty but there's no market.
It might even be the case of insufficient scope as often is with these funny SaaS things.

Framing it as "rejection" is blaming the customer (at least partly) for bad behavior. (to your business) Exactly one of the behaviors described as bad in the post.

A business relationship is not a marriage. You're not being rejected, but just, to put it bluntly, suck or cannot beat the monopoly.
