I'm no expert on this, but it seems really backwards to me to do this through prompt injection. Shouldn't they do this through managing the data they train on? Make sure the data is sufficiently diverse and doesn't include stuff you don't want to include, and the end result should be a lot more consistent.

At the same time, it also seems to be that a filter at the end, that analyses the generated image to check if it's really something you want to show, could be a good idea. But filtering and altering the prompt seems like a unreliable way to do it.
If you don't mind a wired connection and a smaller screen you can use a USB-I2C bridge (such as https://www.adafruit.com/product/4471) with an I2C OLED screen and a couple lines in Python.

If you want it to be wireless you can build it around an ESP32 module or similar.

I've been using an Elecom EX-G left-handed wireless trackball (thumb operated) for ages: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ELECOM-Left-handed-Wireless-functio...

I'm naturally right-handed, but learnt to use a mouse/trackball with my left hand ages ago when I figured out the twisting/ergonomic issues with a right-handed mouse and a keyboard with a numeric keypad. I was previously prone to hurting my right-shoulder blade (pulled muscle?) as there's a constant twist compared to the mid-line of the keyboard.
A lot of the benefits are nicely present on my macbook. Compact size, fast querying with duckdb (columnar format + indexing), fast read/write for pandas, good type support… would recommend for local tabular data!

i can add X + Y for any values of X and Y. not because i have a gigantic table in my head, but because i know the rules of adding 2 numbers. AI is to some extent doing the same.

the fact that it does increasingly weird unhuman things to me indicates it is infact intelligence. it isnt just parroting the answers for itself. it is using its flawed understanding to attempt to reach an answer. humans are also flawed and come out with stupid answers, but we are used to that and can understand it.

Nahhh, the electric vehicles we need are these low-cost, low-center-of-gravity, not so easy to steal, with a registration plate number that identifies them, e-scooters [1]

Bikes are for people who wanna bike, like skateboards are for people who wanna skateboard (there are electric skateboards already), but if we want to improve mobility in cities we should make it easy and convenient for people to switch, the people buying e-bikes are not your regular commuter and other "vehicles" such as e-scooters (the skateboards with handlebars) are just a fad, they are toys for grown-ups and are being banned all over Europe, especially in big cities: see Paris [2] - before someone brings up corruption and lame politicians lobbied by the fuel industry, people have voted to ban them because they are a disgrace if you happen to live in a touristic city. I live in Rome, I understand the pain and I can't wait they ban them here as well.

I have a few issues with e-bikes.

1 - bikes are already great, really cheap, and actually good for you to cycle. We also have an obesity problem in most western countries.

2 - they let inexperienced riders go really fast on bikes that are 3 x heavier. You see so many idiots cycling though red lights at 15mph weaving in and out of pedestrians. If you want to go that speed on a regular bike you have to earn that speed by cycling for many years

> Ebikes outselll electric cars, motorbikes, vans, busses and trucks combined

In US, where every family owns at least 2 cars already and goes to buy grocery twice a week in a SUV.

They are simply replacing their old bikes with the electric ones, they are not switching to biking

Car traffic volume in US increased steadily after the pandemic and by mid 2022 it was already at pre-pandemic levels, now it's worse.

So e-bikes are not changing the way people move, just the way people use their bikes on their free time, when they are biking.
At one time an x-server would appear to be a sign of excessive bloat, but now days I would bet it is one of the smallest, memory efficient, pieces of software on the system.

As to leaving it open.... yeah that's a problem. or perhaps not, it is an appliance that sits on your lan, if someone gets on your lan they get to use your appliance. sort of like saying "my stove is terribly insecure, any body could just get on and use it, they could even use it to blow my house up. it is criminal that the manufacturer failed to put an auth layer on my stove"

And conversely.... it is a radio lan. there are not hard boundary like with a wired lan. and to make things worse the infernal thing enjoys making open hotspots... so final grade... shoddy workmanship in the software department.
Since I make music as a hobby, some of these are not gonna be incredibly useful for most:

- Behringer XR18 digital mixer, mounted under my desk

- DIY wooden stand for a small MIDI controller keyboard & an integrated XLR socket for a conference microphone (used for meetings)

- the MIDI controller is connected directly to the XR18 so I have convenient faders and knobs for mic volume, mute, master volume and other stuff connected to the mixer (piano, edrums etc)

- DIY shelf to have my displays & speakers at a comfortable height and distance

- dishpan under the desk for the occasional footbath

Not at all uncommon but still highly recommended: vertical mouse (cheap one), split keyboard (r-go), docking station (old thinkpad ultra dock)

Things I still want but never got around to:

- my desk lamp (cheap wifi bulb) is cold/warm white fadeable but I want that to happen automatically throughout the day based on sunset

- a better drawing tablet so I can ditch my whiteboard (current one sucks)
I've used them for quite a while but came back to the old function views. The Generic Views are a mess to understand, the hierarchy tree gets so complicated. See for example : https://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django/4.1/django.views.generic.... there are 9 classes in the inheritance tree. For every slight change from the default behavior you need to research the documentation, find which method to override…

In the end I have to write a bit more of boilerplate each time (and with tools like copilot it's a non-issue) but it's 10x faster to understand what a view does and how when reading code.

To allow for chaining. Consider a statement like:

a.f(foo(1)).g(foo(2)).arr[foo(3)].h(foo(4));

In C++14, the foo() calls happened in unspecified order.
C++17 guarantees that "a(b)" and "a[b]" evaluate "a" first, which effectively means the foo() calls will now happen in order (1 to 4).

No, what we need are normal quality bicycles. I have one that's been around for 15+ years. Needs little maintenance. My daily commute (30 minutes) gives me a bit of exercise, is good for my health.

You need bicycle paths, discourage car usage. And let people become accustomed to 'normal speed of life'.

E-bikes produce waste and contain parts that not everyone can service or maintain.

I feel like an old guy saying this. But please, stop the glorification of power consuming stuff.
Agreed. What I mentioned was, if you were a US market focused SaaS you might not have to worry about UK or Germany etc., and restrict customers (and vendors) from those locations if you decided on your serviceable market as US geography only.

I understand your case might not be that. But for a startup starting from 0 that is an option (i.e., ignoring non-US markets) and utilizing a US centric sanctions check service.

If you are expecting to flip a switch to turn it global, it may not work. In practice, you have to work with service providers in each geography (or a global service provider -- I vaguely recall a Thomson Reuters division offering a service, but it was quite expensive -- this info is from several years ago).
You’d understand it if you were a C developer.
Show HN: I built a fancy ChatGPT UI
Back when I was younger and lived in a hot place, I removed one of my chassi fans and put it next to my keyboard instead. Cheap and worked wonders.
The real future of applications is the classic Desktop model, where the OS is just a single user-programmable application, where "apps" are just functions easy to combine and change, and the UI is a document, a dynamic document.

Unfortunately for very few this means giving full-power to the end-user, a thing all business do reject and that's why they keep pushing crap since decades to keep their revenues models, a product before, a service now, always giving some crumbs to the user in exchange of money, always converging toward the old model ONLY after have found a way to do so keeping the users tied.
Asking the real questions! What if the amount of data it took to store the number of channels we blocked exceeds their file limit XD
Maybe the only realistic option is secure, completely enclosed 'bike lockers' for bike parking in town centres, instead of creating such easy targets for kids with battery-powered angle grinders.

But people would complain about the ugliness of big metal boxes appearing everywhere.
You seem to be cherrypicking the heirloom quality physical items and comparing them to programs that were constructed with not nearly as much care.

I've owned physical objects that were worthless a few months (cheap throwaway), and have also worked on code that was over 5 decades old and still compiled just fine. If you construct the software with care it is entirely feasible to have something that you can run several decades from now, but that does mean that you shouldn't use dependencies which might disappear in that time. Curl or sqlite are probably fine, a dependency with a single maintainer is probably not fine. Network dependencies on DNS or NTP are probably fine, depending on the API of some 1-year old startup is almost certainly not fine.
At first I thought this was an April Fools joke. But it looks like there’s a functioning store. Who is buying this? Nostalgic people? Is there mission critical HyperCard stacks still around?

Ask HN: Do you use the ChatGPT or other LLMs to auto-generate unit test code?
As developers, we understand the importance of unit testing in ensuring the functionality and reliability of our code. However, many of us dread implementing unit tests because of the time-consuming nature of the task. Moreover, generating effective test mock data requires a thorough understanding of the Product Requirements Document (PRD) and the underlying business logic.

Enter ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) – these AI-driven tools have proven their ability to automatically generate various types of work, potentially including unit test code. By leveraging the capabilities of these AI models, we could significantly reduce the time and effort required for creating unit tests, thus increasing overall efficiency and code quality.

In light of these developments, I would like to open up a discussion on the following topics:

1. Have you had any experience using ChatGPT API or other LLMs to auto-generate unit test code? If so, what was the outcome and how effective was the generated code?

2. What challenges do you foresee when implementing AI-generated unit tests? Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations in using this approach?

3. Can AI-generated unit tests truly grasp the intricacies of PRDs and business logic to create accurate and relevant test mock data?

4 How do you think the adoption of AI-generated unit tests will impact the future of software development?
>The fact that you are in a society with 330M other people who all use the same "imaginary" currency makes it incredibly sticky.

Exactly what I said. It's imaginary, just that it's a collective imagination.
Sure, you could argue the violation is in the publication, not the creation. So to what extent are these online tools publishing them? You can generally reproduce someone else's IP for your own use, but can you give it to one specific other person? Does it matter whether it's a computer or a person that's giving it? I'm sure this question will employ a lot of lawyers.
>My little concern I guess is that this browser will push for their service so it's a bit like an ad for them

While the idea of a sail module in a container sounds really smart, won't the sail need more anchoring than the underlying containers can provide? That is, shouldn't it be bolted down to the ship itself?
How does that relate to the point, though? Are you saying those things also made decisions over millions of users on a population basis?
I also remember the 8051 based TI bluetooth chips which also have some "weird" things going on and has a harvard like architecture just with more memory types. I raise you three types: program memory is also 24bit (using both one 8bit and the 16bit register) and 16bit "external" memory and 256 bytes of mapped registers.

I don't know if the compiler actually does this as different types and how it internally handles it. Maybe someone can elaborate on that.
for this reason I converted a bike myself - much more repairble
> In our current context, this is probably about the COVID vaccines.

Of course.

> They don't seem to stop transmission, so mandating them on populations that aren't at risk is hard to justify.

If you transmit to someone who is vaccinated, there's a lower chance they'll get sick. Vaccines are a preventative measure; I would rather see people vaccinated before they become at risk rather than seeing them get COVID because they weren't vaccinated in time.

(Not claiming vaccines completely prevent COVID, just that they definitely seem to reduce the risk of one getting sick from it.)

And what about herd immunity? If, say, 99% of a population is vaccinated, then will 1 in 100 people still be at great (or greater) risk due to the vaccinated population still carrying and transmitting the virus freely? Or would those 1 in 100 people be at lesser risk due to less people coughing and sneezing everywhere?

Same, but I use hjkl and I have the Home, End, PgUp, PgDwn, del keys also accessible with my right pinky when caps-lock is held down. I could never go back. Actually, I now have a 65% keyboard with arrow keys (Keychron V4), but I've never used them, so I'm thinking of going back to 60%.

I also have a Autohotkey script to replicate this when I use my laptop on the go. But I haven't managed to make it work when I need to hold other modifier keys at the same time, like shift or ctrl.
> Did I say that tech is the only one doing it?

It seems so, although possibly you did it accidentally. When you say "if tech controlled hospitals then it'd do it this way" then you're definitely attributing this mindset to "tech" people, rather to any people who address customer populations in the millions.

That relies on a functional and very-well-resourced police force.

We're in a world where an increasing number of crimes have essentially been decriminalised due to lack of police resources or due to politics, from minor drug offences to prolific shoplifting in certain parts of the world. Unfortunately, bike theft also seems to be one of those crimes that goes unpunished.

Bike theft will never be a priority, as bikes are low-value thefts (compared to cars, or house burglaries), and bike theives are unlikely to hurt anyone, whereas car thieves might be very dangerous, if it's joyriding kids.
Really depends on the laptop. On my work laptop, the microphone is located next to the fans (instead of for instance next to the webcam). You can imagine the audio quality.
