Thanks!

Not sure if it'll work on an Arduino, but maybe take a look at https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp -- it works on a Raspberry Pi at least, so resource requirements are fairly minimal
sigh. The 10x engineer has become tech's most toxic concepts and devs are its victims, yet we keep bringing it up constantly. Every time it's brought up it's a new variation that's either bad or good but always different than the original proposal of the BEST programmers are 10x more productive than the WORST developers from a paper in 1968. All that is come of it is devs arguing about a hypothetical programmer is and made management even more insufferable. The idea is only hurting you, quit bringing it up, when it is brought up point out it's a bad concept and move on.
This is very helpful to understanding the sheer magnitude of the scale. I previously had no concept of the size of a ten thousandth of a femtometer.
Thanks for dropping this here. promptr could sure use a better UX - something like what you've created. Happy to collaborate if there's any interest. Building great tooling for using LLM's to code is something that's really interesting to me.
Could someone not worried about AGI, please explain their position?

Specifically what makes you so confident that someone won't end up creating an AGI that's unaligned? Or alternative, if you believe an unaligned AGI might be created why are you confident that it won't cause mass destruction?

I guess the way I see this is that even if you believe there is a 5-10% chance of AGI could go rouge and say take out global power grids, why is this a chance worth taking? Especially if we can try to slow capability progress as much as possible while funding alignment research?
Nice, using "pointer:Logitech MX Ergo" beats my hacky regex. Thanks!
There was definitely massive digital payments drive before the speakers, and the article is exaggerating it’s effects. However, there was a good chunk of vendors who were not happy with the ‘check your phone every time you get a payment’ routine and this solution works out for them perfectly.
So you're overbuilding nuclear, and then throwing the extra power away when you don't need it with (at best) no savings on fuel or running costs? That doesn't sound cheap.

Wouldn't it make sense to take some of that power and make hydrogen or something that can be stored for later peaks? Then maybe you can close the nuclear plant you only turn on 1% of the time and fill that peak with hydrogen instead and save a lot of money.

Maybe offer cheap rates at night so EV users fill up on cheap nuclear power when it's available. Or store heat in water tanks or brick. Or use some of that power to pump water uphill like nuclear plants have been doing for half a century already.

You could do like France and schedule refueling during the summer when the demand is lower and taking a plant offline has less impact.

Lots of boring sensible things you can do to match nuclear supply to demand.

But of course if you admit these things exist, it kind of puts a big hole in your argument, so best to pretend they don't happen and are only needed for renewables.
Chiming in with my random personal anecdote: I worked a very low-paying job, started with zero dollars, saved my money, and took a shot on a business with less than 5-figures.

This system is very repeatable. I'm 13 years in.
Ah thanks for the details. I have a different model that sadly doesn't have the Assign to Main Mix button. :(
I'm glad you brought this up, because I've been reading some stuff lately that makes it seem like virtual particles actually have visible effects, like this one:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2019/07/12/yes-...

So is it that these articles are wrong, or that I'm reading them wrong, or that the idea that virtual particles are just for calculations is outdated?
Ask HN: If Unix is written in C, how did they run C before Unix?
C is a programming language and Unix is an OS. So, how did they run C before Unix era?
It isn't that simple. Input can be zipped or obfuscated and then missed by the escape logic. Also, the SQL injection protection from 25 years ago didn't escape UTF-16. There are pretty much daily CVEs related to SQL injection in 2023.

I understand that LLMs have a larger vector space of an attack surface, but those same technologies give the protection a large vector space as well to sandbox the output and detect anomalies.

That's exactly what I said.
I think there is no problem using an editor like VisualCode or Notepad++. But you should have an editor like Emacs or in my case VI at hand. It is a lethal weapon to solve any problem in inhospitable environments where speed and power are required. I want to believe that VI or Emacs is like that gun that James Bond or Jim West has up his sleeve, and at the push of a button it deploys to your hand in case of emergency. Subtle, fast, and effective in emergencies.
The Artisans Behind India's Living Root Bridges
I'm a CRO/CGO – a suit. My biggest struggle with HN wants-to-be-hired threads is that I desperately want to work with small and midsize startups who are serious about growth – but most of the JDs are for technical jobs.

Besides the usual job boards, is anyone aware of a good place to connect with founders who want a healthy hockey stick and holistic, healthy growth?
I'm not sure our Department of Education is effective, and I think some children actually are being left behind, despite the "no child left behind" effort.

As an aside, I'm not currently looking for a job (knock on wood) but people close to me are and... the interview process seems harder than ever.

Now you get recorded, told you cannot alt-tab, take home assignments are very strict for companies that aren't even close to a FAANG (I mean, if you're applying to Google it comes with the territory, but why is your random startup so strict?), you are automatically graded on your command of English, etc.

There are still the garbage job offers where they'll hire anyone with a pulse, but unless your situation is dire you don't want those.

It all feels vaguely dystopic and depressing. The only consolation is that only now we realize what it felt for people outside our industry. We had it easy!
I've definitely resisted posting in the past. The primary reason was I simply didn't want to post while I had a job. The second is that you can't delete old HN comments, and I don't feel like having an "I need a job" comment on my permanent record. I'm not opposed to posting, but I haven't felt the desire to post.
There must be some maxim like "reality is the best propaganda" that's already out there
This is like the third post today on code generator using a react application, in twitter there are dozens of them.

Yes, "just."

Dates are "just" a convention.
> Some people on the letter are well meaning but misguided.

There's no reason to believe that the majority of the people on the letter aren't earnest in their support of it. But calling them "misguided" is pretty slanted. What you really mean is that you disagree with them.
> To inconspicuously waste others’ time, write lengthy messages/documents and share as widely as possible.

I transitioned from startups (for 10 years) to a large company (for 5 years). Part of that move was adjusting from a culture of no lengthy documents to a culture full of lengthy documents, and I would never want to go back. Having explicit documentation in writing, where folks can debate the merit of ideas is so so much better than having it living in a few people's heads, unable to be critiqued.

Edit: add a word.
Thus the words “isn’t generally” as opposed to “cannot be”.
I can't say for Nintendo, they may very well have excellent support, as does Dell, but frequently I feel like the US get much better product support. In Europe the manufactures fight consumer laws and seem to do everything in their power to not offer the warranty that they are legally obligated to.

It may just be a case of "The grass is always greener", but it seems like the US have all sorts of excellent return, replace or repair options for electronics. Part of it may also be that it's much easier in the US. One language, easy shipping options (as in they can use the same shipping company for all customers), and the laws are more or less the same for the entire country.
Water supposedly isn't much of an issue after initial setup due to a high recycle rate. Trucking a shitload of water out initially should be a drop in the bucket as far as costs go.
That's basically my outlook, I wouldn't post in the WWTBH thread. In addition to the reasons you listed, I'd also add that while my identity certainly isn't hidden and I'm not out here being controversial, my HN posts are decidedly more of the "my thoughts are my own" variety and not something I'd link a hiring manager to otherwise.
Did they really pay a professor $18K to use a Faker library to generate 4 million records?? That's wild.
again, i think these labels are useless. they just say you might understand the trendiest tool in the arena right now.
> The difference between NATO's expansion and Russia's expansion is that Finland is not under a threat of violence from NATO.

But Finland isn't technically under a threat of violence from Russia. "Wasn't" at least, as there had been no warm grievances that anyone really cared about.

You'll say that Finland has to assume threat and mitigate risks, but this is hardly any different from Russia's perspective against NATO.

> Quite clearly Russia is threatening Ukraine with violence if it doesn't become part of Russia.

Eh, methinks this is an overestimation of Russia's ambition. One could realistically argue that Russia merely "defends" east-leaning loyalish "Russian-speaking" regions. Realistically, even action towards Odessa would automatically involve Prednisone and then no one would be handle that Genie without major clusterfuck.

> I mean, it's defensive for Russia sure. Just not for Ukraine.

Sure, but that's exactly the point I am trying to convey: enemy military can talk about "defense" all it wants, but at the end of the day their job is to kill people and that might as well include you.
Isn't that kind of self-fulfilling?

Only choose technologies that are popular for production stacks -> more people using those technologies professionally(implying less using others) -> only choose popular technologies -> etc.

From a "making a quality product" standpoint it would make more sense to me to choose the technology intelligently according to the needs of the product. Anything less is just a business mythology about trying to deliver a lower quality product for a lower cost.

As a Swede I disgree on the strongest. What do you want to be neutral about? That time is past us. We belong in the company of European democracies that stand together against authoritarian aggressions.
Another meaningful consideration is whether or not you intend for the project to remain python for it's full lifecycle.

If you're looking forward to porting to a more performant language, dict has parity with struct, and vtable dereferencing and polymorphism has performance penalties in say, C++. rust and golang don't really have a robust object implementation so flatter structuring is preferred.
This is more like way too much about ChatGPT than any other era I have seen before in HN. Lot of cool stuff in every area imaginable.
I use Synchting as a Dropbox replacement. My always-on TrueNAS is just another node, but functions as the "server". Synthing is great, it has a small footprint and works anywhere. I just set it and forget it.
At less than a USD a month--currency vs. cost of living conversion--this subscription is extremely cheap considering the many positives: confirmation of payment from a new revenue stream, multiple language support, low-ish latency, fraud prevention for the seller. While a lot of Indians have smartphones, this speaker is the ideal example of a device that solves one specific problem and nothing else.
Thanks I'll look.
$70bn worth of expiring munitions that we were going to let rot in a field after Afghanistan. I imagine the actual outlay is much less.
> Try asking _anyone_ who doesn't have English as their first language in a serious context how they feel about their language

I asked myself, and I said; 'meh'. Admittedly I speak English better than my first language now, and I'm also being deliberately facetious, but it's also true that I don't much care about my first language.

> Bear in mind one day English will no longer be the lingua franca as demonstrated by the word for lingua franca. ;)

I used to think it was hilariously ironic too, but then I stumbled on the actual etymology one day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca?oldformat=true#E...
I find that I write most diagrams for myself as a reader. It takes much less time to get an overview some logic I have not touched in a while when there is a diagram to start with. Once I remember the big picture I dig deeper via the code.

The extension is currently not aware of any of the files in your project, although that might be cool to add later. Use it just like you would use ChatGPT in the browser. Feedback and contributions more than welcome.
I've been using multiple generations of different console controllers for years, since analog sticks were a thing.

Out of the 8 or 10 joycons (not pairs) that we own, more than half of them are affected by drift -- maybe approaching all of them. I don't know that I've ever had this problem on any other console's controller (and I usually have 3-4 controllers of every other console).

I don't think this is a coincidence -- this issue is way worse on Nintendo Switch controllers than any other controller, even their own prior gen controllers. By at least an order of magnitude, maybe two.

While it may be an industry-wide problem, it's definitely not a problem to this extent.
It's a lot of water to get going but almost all of it is re-used after that point

But that kind of expert is no more or less qualified to discuss the wider social ramifications of AI than any random person off the street.
Don't worry, the TSA has inserted itself into overseas airports too.

When travelling to the US we get subjected to random/targeted searches in the gating area by US TSA staff before being allowed to board.

This is after our own typical screening and scanning.
If you're a dev living moderately in a reasonable cost of living city you can afford to go all in on a startup every few years without any familial income or wealth.
It feels like the early dialup Internet / Netscape navigator days
It's not about creating a "useful" programming language, it's about exploring an idea by implementing it in a working compiler/interpreter and seeing it how well it works in practice. Like other posters have said, the popular "useful" languages will learn from these small experimental languages and incorporate their features once they've proven how useful they are.
Why would you assume that people on the edge of leaving Google in exchange for a package are going to stay there anyway--and, especially, put any real effort into it.

I'd be willing to bet that whatever 94% Google ended up deciding to keep would not be the "best" working on the most important/strategic projects and unlikely to leave Google anyway in the next 6-12 months.
i think ETL is the most timeless phrase because it's not tied to a trend. devops, data engineering, ML engineering, MLOps are all just lipstick on the pig.
So they paid someone 18k to just create a random list of fake email addresses? HAHA stupid
Which professions hire like this? I can’t think of any.
One reason might be that some people value open source.
I expect tinyML to be way too tiny for that.

The clear use-case for it is mechanical control and feedback. But it seems that every robot has enough tiny problems that you can justify a larger CPU anyway. I too am having a hard time being excited about it.
Im planing to check out ONLYOFFICE Workspace, seems more sturdy and coherent overal.

Am I alone to want absolutely zero debate at all? We're putting the cart before the horse right now. Everything is strictly speculation.
How did you make retracting cables?
They've defined an idea of "similarity" (based on who plays what openings), and place the dots so that similar openings map to closer dots.

That means there isn't a meaning to the exact position. It's just an attempt to show the similarity visually. Usually, you do that by laying them out randomly, and then having closer dots drift towards each other until you get something more or less stable.

You can think of it as trying to minimize the energy or stress in the graph, though there's no guarantee it will be the absolute minimum.

Their "similar" metric is "different players tend to play both of these openings". Not sure how meaningful that is.
Yes right.

> The 48-year-old, who can neither read nor write, would need to call his son to confirm that the payment had been received.

Looks like the author made up a narrative. These vendors definitely can read numbers, they manage loads of cash through the day. They do lightening fast calculation in their head - which would put a Math grad student to shame.

They may not be able to read, write English (or other languages) but they are very comfortable with numbers and operations on them (addition, subtractions...).

And they would not need "their son" to confirm the amount (they can read), and also they would recognize a very large green checkmark (an icon to confirm successful transaction), so don't need "their son" for that too.
And this is a still from a video they shot at 25 frames per second or one frame every 40 milliseconds. Very lucky indeed!
I thought so until I met one. He knew what our team lead wanted before he wanted it and would already have it done, along with all of his assigned work. He would take initiative and build tools that the whole team could use and be more effective with. He had a huge impact on me.
I'm not concerned with AI; I'm concerned with what humans will do with AI, as usual I am concerned about what humans are capable of when they don't know things, that is all the time.

So, we need a more sophisticated debate about us.

If I recall, the theory was that wrapping your 360 in a towel and turning it on would heat it up so much that whatever microfractures in solder joints that may have been causing the RROD problem would temporarily bond together again and make your Xbox usable for a time.
Lazyfoo is good for learning SDL1/2 but I feel that it's a bit difficult to structure one's code once the games become non trivial. I tried twice to write a 2-d rpg, an Ultima spinoff but stopped in the middle because I feel the project is out of my control and the code structure is messy already. There are just so many things in even a basic rpg (NPC, stored, path finding, dialogs, input, etc) that I feel overwhelmed. And A lot of code gets wasted.
Yeah, about 15 years ago when there were companies planning to replace barcodes with RFID tags on all products, a big selling point was that washing machines could detect red socks in a white wash.

Someone did make such a washing machine, from 2012:

It’s possible to combine both.

I have a Philips SHP-9000 headphone with a vmoda boom pro mic, which plugs into the 3.5mm jack on the headphones. On the other end, I sometimes attach a cheap Chinese Bluetooth receiver, which can be plugged into any 3.5mm jack, so any wired headphones can be made wireless as needed.
You sound nonsensical. Russian government did enslave russian population?? Just remember that "coincidentally" the whole Romanov (that's a stage name) family are germans. And official history is even more coincidentally was (over)written by germans.

My only experience here was outside of the US, but once when screening found a pair of scissors in my carry on I did this. They gave me a lanyard to let me use the crew line to get back to the front of screening so it didn't take much time.
Really surprised at lack duedeligenoe on the part of acquirers, JPM team!!!

My immediate reaction to when JPM found out they'd be duped after running an 'email campaign' was, hmmm, maybe well deserved, should have done your homework!

I want to put the blame solely on the executives, lawyers and team that drove the acquisition forward.

Obviously we can open the floodgates of conspiracy theories. Maybe, some from JPM team may have been on this...
