kubecfg does add some features, like https:// imports, oci:// imports (oci bundles in OCI registries, transitively bundling all imported files with jsonnet-deps).

But yes, I strive to keep the "one file, one target, import whatever you need but explicitly" as much as possible.

I'm pouring some more time into the project and trying to implement some ideas I had for a long time but never managed to get them out. For example "Flags From Files" (https://github.com/kubecfg/kubecfg/blob/flagspec/docs/rfcs/r...) or "Caching + optional vendoring of immutable external deps".
"we do understand that they generate words with probabilities one by one though"

This is no more helpful in understanding AI's than is knowing that human brains operate according to the laws of physics is helpful in understanding the human mind.
But they're not pollution. Because you can afford the brand name that costs 10x the knock off, doesn't mean everyone can.

Just a few days ago I bought a soldering iron. If I went with Reddit's recommendations it would be at least $100 for a "not terrible one". Instead I bought a $10 one that I'm sure will work perfectly fine for what I will use it for. In this case the results that I didn't care about were the brand names.
In my experience AI generative processes always involve a lot of cherry picking, rarely have I generated 1 image or 1 text and it was perfect or very representative of what can be attained with some refining.

Seems fair to choose good results when you try to demonstrate what the software "can" do. Maybe a mention of the process often being iterative would be the most honest, but I think anyone familiar with these tools assume this by now.
With a staff of 50 for a company the size of Disney it seems like they didn't have too much hope in the so call Metaverse anyway.
>But Facebook policy also allows for “emergency requests,” where the tech giant will voluntarily hand over data outside of the legal process when police claim a case involves death or “potential bodily harm.” Increasingly, law enforcement has taken advantage. In 2019, the government made 6,447 such “emergency requests,” compared to 6,000 in 2018 and 3,672 in 2017. Police submitted “preservation requests,” which operate outside of the legal process and preserve user data for 90 days, for more than 110,000 accounts in 2019.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of this by now, its been known for years. Of course you can say police will only use it in "real emergencies" but you're not the one defining what a "real emergency" is and cops lie constantly just to get information
AlgoKit signals a clear shift in how we approach onboarding, development and developer experience on planet Algorand.

AlgoKit itself is just an application that takes care of dev environment setup, project generation and deployment; the result of this endeavour is bigger than the sum of its parts. Under the AlgoKit flag we took the opportunity to bring cool concepts like Beaker to a production standard, bringing much needed improvements to the sandbox (local Algorand blockchain) performance too.

AlgoKit's powerful templating engine can be leveraged by: builders to get developers integrating their services from a place of success, educators to teach students niche aspects of the Algorand development experience, and by developers to use readily provided templates to expedite their workflow (first templates we'll release shortly are NFTs, and DAO voting).

The UX shifts from "go find the tools, make them work well together" to "here's everything you need to be a successful builder on Algorand".

Primary to AlgoKit's core principles is to "meet developers where they are" and we recognise that PyTEAL (our current programming language of choice) is not well known and straightforward. We're working hard to integrate commonly known programming languages too (as AlgoKit is language agnostic), so as to reduce friction for devs wanting to make the jump from web2 to web3.
Because of the ambiguity of the term "on the edge" that is used to refer to both close network proximity and the device closest to the user, as evidenced by this thread, I would suggest to use a new term, at least in the context of A.I. The AI running on the device closest to the user should be called a "terminator".

There's nothing stopping someone from making a flatpak or other similar tech feed or 'store' that's only the curated apps they deem appropriate for users.

Bugs should be fixed upstream, not kept in distro specific silos. There's no reason why only a packager can fix some upstream issues or become a contributor. On the contrary shipping your app as a universal tech like flatpak means Redhat, Debian, Arch or any other user can use it, develop for it, and send fixes upstream.
My main problem with framework is that it's ugly.
> Obviously others prefer to get there ASAP

My problem with long road trips in an EV are not just the time added. Especially if you drive across Europe and rely on the supercharger network, you will notice that they are very often located in the middle of nowhere; next to a gas station or McDonald's. Not cool places to hang out for 45 minutes. There was one supercharger on my way to Spain (I think it was outside Bremen?) that was located next to a shopping mall, or "factory outlets" for Puma/Adidas etc. At that location 45 minutes flies by like nothing, it's actually to little time. But at some random gas-station, hotel or McDonald's in the middle of nowhere, 45 minutes feels way to much…
10:1 is still a pretty big ratio. You could take 20 Panadol every few hours before getting sick. That’s a LOT.
A quick response:

1. Deserializing stuff in a service worker then requires it to be moved across to the main UI thread but you can't share the objects, right? It's message passing.

2. We're comparing to 'native' apps, right, so memory overhead of common things counts and saying you can use native code isn't really a rebuttal because you can't use it for the UI stuff.

3. We're not talking about how battle hardened they are, but about performance.

4. Meta tags have hardly any impact on the modern web, right? That's why you have to talk about legacy IE, they did try something like that but Chrome has no equivalent.

5. Sandboxing isn't cheap performance-wise, that's my point.

6. TypeScript isn't JavaScript, it's a different language that browsers don't understand.
I imagine the "360 degree view" cameras that are being introduced in luxury cars will make their way down to all cars eventually.

Yes, it's why in longer conversations it might forget what was said earlier in the thread. The token limits still apply.
Understanding Language Loss
> cover it via a hypothecated levy on UK firms and partners that is a percentage of what they pay their executives.

That'll just lead to more executives being paid £1 pa and then getting the rest in stock / image rights / whatevers.

It's like Sagan said - "To pay MPs more, first you must invent a functioning tax system."

> In exchange MPs should be barred from such jobs for a period after leaving office

Currently I believe they're barred from jobs in sectors where they've had any influence, decision making, etc. but as a quick glance at pretty much any Private Eye of the last decade will highlight, that means nothing.

> MPs are running the country. They should be paid more than a mere corporate executive.

If the first sentence were true, I'd (maybe) agree with the second. But the current bunch aren't running the country, they're chasing the right wing vote whilst feathering their own nests.
Even before opening this thread, I knew people would be talking shit about Tailwind. I don’t get why HN seems to dislike it so much.

I’m just going to say that Tailwind, IMHO, is the best thing that has happened to CSS.

It’s by far the simplest and cleanest abstraction of CSS, and it accomplishes a lot through a very straightforward implementation.

At this point I can’t see myself writing CSS in any other way.
It appears the only way to sign up is with a Google account. (I know that is a solution suggested by OpenAI for user authentication.)

Democracy is one bad week away from turning into a dictatorship. We've gotten complacent and forgot that fact. Democracy is not the natural state of society.
Completely agree.
It’s more wasteful than the path the we are in (full integration)
Laptop will more and more look like an Iphone (glue together, with no replaceable parts)
Every connector, every wire, every locking mechanism, every screw has a weight, cost and reliability problem. Making the system very integrated will decrease cost, weight and failures.

Apple is leading the way with their M1/M2 everything on one chip or package: cpu, gpu, ram, storage. This make them faster, cheaper, consume less energy.
We defined Tailwind config overriding the default values to match our design system.

Then on top of this we have components library with common basic components and layouts

Then inside the apps we use the components and that Tailwind config and it works quite nice.

We have rules for tokenized colors and sizes so it all references the config.

There are problems and all, but all in all I think is quite good
Isn’t it ironic that the first section talks about extended color palettes, but their website does not honor my CSS (prefers-color-scheme: light) preference when I visit that page with JavaScript disabled. There is a moon icon in the upper right, but it’s broken without JS.
Agree - we're taking a hybrid approach - meaning the gen AI is 'prebuilding' the automation and then the user reviews and possibly corrects it before fully executing - check it out here: bardeen.ai/ai
I think the new Bing AI chat works better (for the most part) for stuff that are more "fact-based" especially since it cites references better. Note that you have to check the references too since sometimes there are mistakes. I would avoid ChatGPT for stuff like "Can you recommend me papers on machine learning for specific problem/task" since the model sort of makes up stuff.

The main value of ChatGPT for me (so far) is not for tasks where I get information from it but where it gives me information to start something. "Write me an authorization letter", "create a 10-slide presentation on this topic", or "I have this function, can you write some unit tests" has been very useful for me. Not because the outputs are correct but they lower the inertia for me working on tasks.

I rarely get outputs that work 100% out of the box that I don't have to fix or reshape. One personal rule is that I never ask it stuff that I normally won't be able to do by myself.
As one of the person cheering for it, i would say the opposite.

Tailwind is super successful from people that have an aversion to React. Like all my mostly backend devs friends.
Russia’s Smartest Weapon May Have an American Brain
If they'd work we we would quickly start trying to find the one chemical in them that is responsible for that, and once successful find a way to synthesize it from cheaper to source ingredients. In the end you'd just have an ointment that says "active ingredient: acetylsalicylic acid" and it's up to the marketing department whether they want to mention rhinos or not.
This is a misnomer though. Your body will not make the fever too high in the case of fighting a virus, so danger is low. From an evolutionary standpoint this would make no sense. For a bacterial infection I think the chance of going to the danger zone is higher though.

Typically it's better to just let the fever ride when you have a virus, unless it's making you you so uncomfortable you can't rest/sleep.

Copy-pasting my comment from reddit:

- Interface is amazing. Possibly the most polished and modern UI in any distro.

- Nvidia drivers provided by default.

- Biggest App store library in any Ubuntu-based distro. Comes with Ubuntu + Zorin + Flatpak + Snap repositories.

- Made for newbies and pros alike.

- Wine pre-installed, so you can even use some Windows programs without doing any extra configuration.

- Has great hardware compatibility and is always on latest LTS kernel.

- Great performance.

- Extremely stable because it's based on Ubuntu.

- Works great for gaming.

- Has extra proprietary drivers pre-installed for example, Intel WiFi chipsets.

- Multiple layouts, Windows like shortcuts.

- Good amount of customization.

- Since it's based on Ubuntu, most articles and tutorials available online also will apply to ZorinOS.

- Did I mention that the UI is very polished?

ZorinOS is a no-brainer choice if you want a 'Just Works™' system that also looks highly polished. Ubuntu's focus is not the user, but corporate. Just compare their home pages and you'll know what I'm talking about. It's ubuntu but better, why would you use Ubuntu ;)
At least that’s what I’ve heard
> Only works well in component-based web development (ie React, Svelte, Vue, etc) as opposed to inheritance-based styling (old school CSS+HTML)

Funny how that's not how it's advertised on the landing page. The first animation of its use is just basically plaintext HTML document.

I can't imagine using it for that.

I enjoy the irony that you say this and misspell "penmanship" in the same thought.

Not judging, mind; I just think it's interesting to note that others have different ideas of what acceptable ranges of communication are.

Usually for all major distributions you get in the official repositories

- Gnome

- KDE

- Xfce

- Cinnamon

- Mate

- LXDE/LXQt

- Several *box stacked and assorted tiling window managers and assorted glue scripts

That's a fairly solid base of "support" even if the distributions don't provide live CDs with any particular setup preinstalled.

The only exception I've seen are the "we took an existing distro, threw away half the repository, patched 2 packages and slapped our own logo on top" wannabe hipster distributions that last an entire two years before folding due to being pointless.
Opiod abuse is no joke and they are about as addictive as prescription drugs get, and yet the abuse rate is something like 50% in developed Western countries (Abuse ranging from taking them slightly longer than you're supposed to, to taking more than your prescribed dose all the way to crushing and injecting).
There are many millions of people who take opiods and don't get addicted or abuse them in any negatively impactful way.

Your comment is based on a personal bias and in no way based on medical fact. There are many types of pain that only opiods can treat. We absolutely need more options that are as powerful and less addictive.

The mechanism for addiction is well understood, but what we don't understand is why some people can take opiods, even extremely powerful ones and don't become drug fiends.

I am sitting here with two 250ml bottles of Morphine next to my bed, there is nothing stopping me from drinking it all. I know how it makes me feel, I know it eases my depression, removes my pain, clears my mind and calms my anxiety, I have restful sleep when I take it right before bed and yet I have never taken it when I didn't need to, never increased the dose, in fact I often take a lower dose than prescribed and sometimes don't take it as scheduled and subject myself to some of the pain until it reaches a point where I require relief, my goal is not to completely escape all pain, all the time, I like to remind myself that i am in control and that I'm not afraid of the pain and that experiencing 'some' pain is not a bad thing.
However, I have seen all the documentaries and dramatisations and accounts of people who do the complete opposite. Perhaps it's because I have taken Ritalin for most of my life and am used to the sensations of cravings, perhaps it's because I don't drink alcohol and don't smoke, I do not have any addictive tendencies whatsoever (unless we're talking about chocolate!), maybe it's genetics, maybe it's socioeconomic, but for sure, for me in any case opioids have vastly and dramatically improved my quality of life and I'm grateful that we have such drugs available. Obviously there is work to be done on education, monitoring and support. I wonder if the opioid crisis is so bad in the US because of the private system and lack of coordinated care between specialists and clinics as well as lax pharmacy monitoring.
not really. you will be quite sick before you hit 10. also, double dosing is a major problem and makes it easier to hit the threshold .
I think computers killed penmanship.
That works for big important software like Firefox or GCC, but less well for someone’s niche hobby project that maybe 5 or so other people will use
I agree but I don't think the software packages themselves should be held back by the available time and attention of packagers. In the new world a packager or distro creator can just pick and choose what flatpaks, snaps, appimage, etc. sources they deem good enough to push to users. They shouldn't be a roadblock in the way of users getting the latest version of software.
Interestingly the area of a football pitch has a pretty huge degree of tolerance - between 45-90m wide and 90-120m long - and iirc while they can be nearly square, they aren't allowed to be exactly square (i.e. you can't have a 90x90m pitch, but 90x91m is ok ... if a little unusual).

At some point I believe the home team would adjust the width/length according to opponents' preferred tactics, but idk if that happens anymore.

Did you read the article or letter? They list a lot of very valid reasons. I won't bother quoting because I would just be copy/pasting the article (which is very short).

For a more detailed list of reasons, go read what AI alignment scientists think, since they have been working on how to align an AI in order to not "turn everything into paperclips" since the 1970s and it seems as though many are rather skeptical about us having any future if we keep up at this rate (spoiler: many believe the end of humanity will occur soon after the creation of any superintelligence): https://www.alignmentforum.org

My personal takeaway: continued development might mean the end of humans and maybe even our planet (if an ASI can deploy nanotech to convert everything into substrate). As it already stands, nobody knows why LLMs work as well as they do - they are already a black box. Sure, plenty of people can explain the math behind each of steps involved: training, matrices, transformers, inference, et al. but it's still a big black box which spits out "magic" answers. You can't just drop a breakpoint inside a model during inference to see what's going on, you will just get a long list of unintelligible floating point numbers at any step of the process.

Your question about regulation is valid... but something needs to be done. I feel like we're standing very close to one of the Big Filters.

Comparing AI/AGI/ASI to anything we have currently seen is probably pointless, they are worlds apart. Would you bother comparing a smartphone to a book? The rate of AI/ML progress is sufficient to measure in hours instead of months or years.
This is amazing! I would buy one in this price range.
What sort of help/contributions you need/expect from interested users? E.g. financial funding on CrowdSupply, beta testing, feature wishlist, etc.
Well you can always exchange it peer to peer, without a third-party (exchange/payment processor/etc.) as it is initially meant to be used, but it's true that mining rewards are generally the most anonymous way to acquire it.
Yeah it’s entirely possible that some people pick what’s popular instead of what we think is theoretically optimal.

I would only caution you about assuming that people are following the zeitgeist instead of making sound technical decisions. For example there’s only one language that prevents race conditions at compile time. Maybe they write more multithreaded code than you did and really prize this feature.

Maybe they like the libraries that make the ecosystem rich. Does nim have anything as polished and performant as clap and serde? Maybe they like the generally high quality of documentation in the Rust ecosystem? I could point out several other legitimate axes on which Rust is a superior alternative.

It doesn’t matter, because you’re aware of most or all of these. What’s important is for you to avoid falling into the fallacy of “what’s popular must be bad, because the average person isn’t as smart as me”. Lots of smart people fall into this trap. It’s especially bad to fall into this when you’re thinking about platforms because the utility of a platform is directly proportional to its popularity.

Language X might have so many flaws, but if it’s popular then the community around it could find myriad ways to mitigate the flaws. They’ll release a million useful libraries that make our lives easier. And if the language gets 50% more popular, it gets 50% more useful to us because the ecosystem gets richer. Better ecosystem means more companies adopt it => more jobs available => it’s a sound choice to learn this language in your free time => more devs available with this skill => it's a good idea for more companies to adopt it. It’s a fly wheel of adoption. Java benefited from this, even if it wasn’t a perfect language. Rust benefits, but to a lesser extent because there’s so many good alternatives now (including Java!)

Even if Rust doesn’t do it for you in 2023, I’d counsel taking a look again in 2026. The growth around the language (80% per year in crate downloads, 30% per year in crate authors) means that it’s possible that you might find most of your pet peeves might have been addressed by then. Either in the main language or in a library.
You conveniently ignore the fact that the guidelines you quote are specifically regarding "Individuals involved in the production or presentation of any output in News or other factual areas that regularly deal with a range of public policy issues"

Football commentators are not such individuals.
They’re better than Flatpak for CLI applications I guess since Flatpak doesn’t aim to support those

Is there another option for that than Snap, or Docker which is a bit too complicated to set up? (that’s not rhetorical, I would like to know if there is)
Hi.

Sorry a bit late to the party but IIRC certain high yield crops like dent corn are not really palatable for humans but can make up 2/3rds of the diet of a chicken.

Also low quality bushels of other cereals, legumes and even cotton seed can be turned into feed.

Edit: Although we eat too much meat now I believe the appropriate amount of meat consumption is well above 0
