It might. The ethical dilemma here seems to be:

1) We don't know when/if GPT will. GPT in its current form can't seem to guarantee safety (either from "substantial" verbatim snippets or from complex "hallucinations" of random pachinko output).

2) GPT doesn't know when/if it has. GPT in its current form likely cannot know this. (In part, because it doesn't really "know" anything, that's too anthropological a word for what is still mostly just a casino full of pachinko machines.)

3) Define "substantial portions" in a way that a jury of your peers can understand it in a court of law.

4) Can you define "substantial portions" again, only this time in code as guide rails for something like GPT? "Substantial portions" is barely a human term designed for human lawyers and courts. There's a fascinating challenge here on quantifying it.
Ask HN: Preparing for a job interview in a new tech stack
Hi everyone,

I'm a software developer who's been working with a particular tech stack for a few years now, but I've recently become interested in a different stack that I haven't had the chance to work with professionally. The problem is, I haven't had much time for side projects since my kids arrived, so I don't have any personal projects to show off to potential employers.

I'm wondering how I should prepare for a job interview in this new tech stack. How do I demonstrate my knowledge and enthusiasm for the stack without side projects to showcase? How long should I spend studying before I feel confident enough to apply for jobs?

If anyone has been in a similar situation before, I would love to hear about your experience. What strategies did you use to prepare for the interview? What did you say in your cover letter or during the interview to show your interest in the stack?

Thank you in advance for your advice!

It sounds like you're in the right place. I'm thinking more about local retailers getting curb-stomped by Amazon because they barely have a website while Amazon has same-day delivery requestable via a phone app (and at the end of the day, the local retailer's only differentiation is local-market knowledge; the same trucks that deliver to their storefronts deliver to the warehouse that Amazon routes product to front porches from).

The market has proven more than willing to lose "Joe, of Joe & Sons Seed, already knows my order and has it waiting on the table for when I stop by on the first Tuesday of April" in favor of "It takes like three clicks to put my order in the online basket and I don't even have to walk to the car to get it; it's dropped on my porch."
Is all this drama part of the experience?

Ask HN: Why not give access to everything, to everyone in an an organization?
I spend a great deal of my free time working for a small, local, all-volunteer non-profit. There are maybe twenty people that make up the core volunteers. I fill several different roles within the organization including the default “IS/IT” guy simply because of my background. Nobody else in the organization has a technology background so over the years, as we’ve needed things, people have looked to me to set those things up. I don’t have analysts to define user stories and requirements so along the way, I’ve had to just decide security myself. It definitely is something I always am thinking about and I try to get as many people involved (access-wise) in as many things as I can so the burden sits with me as little as possible.

One of our board members has decided everyone on the board should have complete, unrestricted access to everything. From the combination to the lock on the little cabinet that houses the modem and gateway router and the passwords for those devices, to full-administrator privileges on all of our software “systems” (Google Workspace, Mailchimp, Square, Azure, etc.)

Another board member is now rallying with that board member so it is going to be an entire discussion point at our next board meeting.

Part of me wants to just go ahead and do it. Everyone can start sending newsletters through Mailchimp (we have just one person who coordinates them all now) and we won’t have any standards on formatting, frequency, etc. Everyone can setup new groups and users in Google Workspace and create shared drives like they are folders. Why not?

I want to explain that less access means less exposure to systems being compromised. It means not having the person who does a function different from yours digging into your projects randomly and deciding to “help.” It means you won’t end up locked out later because somebody else in a few years decides tightened security is needed and starts arbitrarily making decisions about that.

Are there any other good reasons I should give these particular board members why this is a bad idea? Or, is this just me being too overly protective of the work I’ve been doing for years?

Any feedback or questions are welcome.
I recently ordered a keyboard from Taiwan. I got charged the 21% VAT plus a few euro administration costs by the shipper. Mind you, I would have paid the same 21% VAT if I had purchased a similarly priced product in The Netherlands. So, you are down to shipping cost, many companies have different options. Sure, if you want something on your doorstep in 2-3 days, they are going to charge 80-90 USD/Euro shipping, that's simply what it costs.
A big YMMV on what I'm about to say, but: in my experience, the biggest complainers at work are the most responsive and productive people. Because when a new request comes through, they're the ones who have already jumped in. They're mentally working through what it will take to get this done, wrestling with the difficulties and verbalizing them. Others are nodding and smiling but not really engaging with the problem yet.
Are there any well-known companies that focus on data set collection and provision? Not talking HuggingFace like but more of highly curated data of best quality and guaranteed ownership rights (hard part about it!), where money for its usage is charged. I feel like there is a rapidly growing market for that with the advent of large foundation models and regulators stepping in, also and in particular bringing data privacy up.

That's not related to the concept at all, that's to do with first order and second order effects, not theories or descriptions about the same thing. Zvi Mowshowitz and Zeynep Tufekci (if that's really how their names are spelled) have written about the pandemic response problem, but I'm not sure how general their ideas are. They might be overfitted.
I mean older people that might have been holding families together also died during the pandemic. Things would have been easier if pandemic measures would have been done on a pro-active basis - and I'm writing this from Europe where measures where a bit stricter. Maybe the pandemic could even have ended sooner.

That said, the general problem of the "loneliness epidemic" was already there before Covid.

My point is that rational thought takes place on a foundation of deeply held beliefs. Those deeply held beliefs are very hard to address, even for practicing scientists! Many scientists hold deeply weird, non-scientific beliefs and yet are still able to contribute to their own fields. There is one group of humans, each with a mix of different experiences in different areas of thought and practice.

A dilemma: A scientist reasons socially when choosing an area of research. They choose research that will get funded, published, and cited. Or a scientist eschews popular research in favor of something that they think is important, which is irrational on it's face, as that means they won't get funding, published, or cited.

The point is that social reasoning is not irrational. Rational thought always takes place in a frame of reference.

I do not reject rational skepticism. It's an extremely useful tool. It's very good at finding facts. It's very good at convincing the majority of people who reason the same way as you do, and have the same basic foundation of knowledge as you do. It just does not work when it comes to people who do not share that same frame of reference.
Show HN: Trace, track your job applications with ease
Job hunting can be really stressful. Sometimes, you could apply to lots of jobs before getting the first yes, especially for entry level positions. I created trace so you don’t have to forget what jobs you’ve applied to. With Trace, you can stay on top of the job process. With the kanban style drag and drop, you can easily keep up with what stage you’re at in the job process. Every and all feedback is appreciated.

> All because... the person who did it first wants attribution? They want their name to be included in some credits.txt file that nobody will ever read?

Yes, and yes. Those would be the terms that person publishes their code under. If you can't agree to those terms - maybe because including a single name in a credits.txt file that no-one reads is somehow too onerous for your process - then you are always free to re-implement that code on your own.

What was the outcome of that incident? Fault was found with the Air Canada procedures, training, and manuals, while the Captain and First Officer went on to receive FAI Diplomas for Outstanding Airmanship. What did not happen was mass calls for the individual pilots to write their own calculation software. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, as reading about the incident you mentioned only paints a clearer picture that systematic redundancy is the responsibility of the creating and maintaining the system, not of those using it.

It's generally easier to back in since you have the side repeater cameras that automatically come up whenever you enter reverse, so if you are pulling to a garage, you have room if you can see the back of the garage (your only check after that is to ensure your mirrors don't hit the sides of the house next to the garage door opening).
Wow, this is conflating things that are not the same in an incredibly misleading way.

Hey, that was 15 words, and I had them all in my head at once before I started typing! I was able to form a sentence of more than seven words all by myself!

You seem to be misapplying the concept of working memory, where seven (plus or minus two) is about arbitrary and unrelated words or numbers, not "items." In fact, it's generally seven for numbers, but lower for words. And again, that's unrelated words, like "person woman man camera tv," but probably even more unrelated.

Crypto AG

malloc(3) does not know or care about whether the OS actually commits the VM allocation that it got from somewhere (be it mmap(2) or sbrk(2)), apart from the fact that most implementations of malloc would write some kind of book-keeping header before the returned object (observe that on amd64 glibc, malloc(3) for large allocations returns pointers that are offset +0x10 from page alignment, that is where the two word allocated block header lives). The fact that the memory might not really exist is mostly invisible to userspace (as in, there is no portable way to find out that it does not exist).

The OS somehow detecting that argument to read(2) is page aligned block of uncommited meory and transparently creating MAP_PRIVATE mapping from that seems like nifty idea, but userspace tends to not have page-aligned buffers that often (see the aforementioned 0x10 offset for one reason why) and applications that intentionally allocates IO buffers with some particular alignment do so in order to bypass the block cache for particular IO patterns and are exactly the kinds of applications that tend to use mmap(2) for IO where that does not matter.
Where do I apply for the intern positions?
<< how do i maintain control of my security staff

I do believe some are. There are real concerns about a future conflict going beyond anyone's control.

Still, I think this question as presented alone reveals the reality behind my post. If there is no future, that tech mogul will be, at best, at mercy of their security detail. Why? In that scenario money has no value. Frankly, without his tech, he has no power. Power returns to a very simple equation and I am basically unable to believe that those seemingly very smart people can't see it. It even stops being realpolitik. It just become a question of who has a bigger stick.

shrug But sure.. if they want to return to that version of society.
Same happening in Utah, except the alfalfa is largely going to China. I get that these farmers have to make money and they're just playing the cards the market gives them, but it gets my goat that during the worst megadroughts on record, we are effectively exporting our water.

We're not using it to feed people locally. We're not using it to feed people in NYC or the eastern seaboard. We're not even using it to feed domestic cattle. We're just sending it (or the alfalfa grown with it) abroad.

Farmers here can't afford to buy the alfalfa because China beats them out.

All while the Salt Lake is drying up.

Facepalm

We have seen a providential bumper year for snowpack this year though, and I'm grateful for that. I do think some legislation around the export of products that use a lot of water to make it is in order though. Even better: pay the farmers not to export in the form of subsidies. That way everyone's happy.
Honestly don't understand why people don't understand that the Starlink slogan was "better than nothing".

Starlink is still magnitudes better than my previous as-expensive point-to-point wifi, which was capped at 10 Mbps at best and was nearly unusable 7-9pm every night.

If you can get something better than Starlink, then you should.
Sure it will. Just checked, found a bunch of articles with 5 step instructions where one of the steps is hold the power button down.

This entire argument is flawed from the premise. You know what else those CEOs didn't do? Graduate college.

But that doesn't mean that skipping college is the right move. These people are the exception to the rule.

Mastermind groups may or may not be good, but arguing that top CEOs don't use them is not a solid argument.

Most if not all claims of "silver bullet" or "holy grail" solutions should be taken with a massive grain of salt.

No single thing applies to everyone and this criticism of being "holy grail" is valid for all types of therapies.

I thought Firefly was pretty great, sure found it better than dall-e, I've not used MidJourney because I'm not a discord user (why is their tool discord only??) - The thing I don't like about this twitter thread is that it doesn't disclose the modes he used, Firefly has literal buttons you can push to tell it what to do (like make a photo) if he asked for a photo on non-photo mode, it's going to be more art less portraiture.

The one thing I really liked from firefly was the text creation tool, it's really cool (although I have no clue what the applications are for people not working in gfx design)

Damn straight. I just got a m1 air 8gb w/ 256gb for $975 CAD on FB marketplace in December.

It was in absolute mint condition with 7 cycles on the battery and 1 year left on applecare (which apparently means i can renew it even as the second owner.)

My take is that a lot of people got these wizzbang new laptops through some spending account for WFH during covid, they never left the house with them and now theyre selling them as they go back to the office.

There's nothing wrong with other people using - learning and creating derivative works of - one's open-source code, provided they respect the terms of the license. It seems to me that the real issue is the fact that these licenses don't have enough teeth.

> If theory of computation has taught us anything, is that complexity very quickly outgrows everything that is even in the grasp of mathematics (e.g. busy beaver).

True. But if the science/practice of computation has taught us anything, it is that many problems can be solved for all practical purposes even if they are undecidable or intractable for all theoretical purposes. E.g., the halting problem is undecidable but software verification/static analysis tools that check for termination exist and are even widely used in some industries.

> A human in theory can “go into a loop”

A computer can as well, by identifying loop invariants. And even the discovery of loop invariants can be thought of as a next-token-prediction problem, if characterized in as a sequence of states followed by the question "if x_1=t_1, ..., x_n=t_n, then what are these variables equal to at state N+1?"

> So - I guess GPT-4 can reason on the “trivial” degree simply by “caching” the output of the real algorithm, but that doesn’t scale at all.
