I am a strange guy — I like to understand things. That translates to me often using microframeworks where I can build most stuff myself. I don't like to use fully featured solutions that already do 75% of what you want but where you have to understand everything and read the whole source code and sell your first born to get the remaining 25%.

So I'd rather buy wood and nails to build the hut I like than to buy some hut and hammer it into the hut I wanted.

The first is a really fulfilling task, the last annoying. And so I rather drive my car to my destination than let it drive itself and have to control if it doesn't make a mistake.
Why the heck wouldn't they have the wake-word listener confine itself to human-audible frequency ranges? Seems like that would be a really simple fix with zero loss of real-world functionality....
Collaborating with humans may be time-consuming but at least we can establish common ground and fix misunderstandings through conversation. But I feel ChatGPT is a step in the right direction, where you can question or drive the conversation. I dont think we are far from common sense and symbolic reasoning to these models. I bet AI researchers will bridge this gap soon
This is my favourite document and I share it with my team whenever it comes up. Really good inspo on thinking about what matters and where processes can slow down even by people that are well intentioned.
Agreed we should!
So, some organizations or individuals have a tendency to do this, and the tendency can be measured on a spectrum. There's an opposing spectrum that you're excluding, right? The people who take blame for things they rightly don't have to take blame for, who clean up messes that aren't their responsibility, and who shun credit. There are those people, and (we) keep the world running.

Claiming that the psychology you're projecting is universal is cynical because it excludes those people, or worse attempts to paint their efforts as merely meta-narcissistic victimhood, when lots of people actually just try to correct problems and get shit done.
While this is nice, to me the whole promise of PWA is that developers can escape confusing App Store rules, long approval process, and the absurd 30% commissions.

So no, thank you. I don’t want back into the App Store.
The entire discussion has no focus and starts with a false claim about violent crime being down between 2020 and 2022. In any case, claims that money influenced outcomes are ill-substantiated since many San Francisco election results go against the best-funded outcomes.
So that's proof that you should never deviate? Hegemony always wins?
Can you imagine this used by your employer to force your personal phone to connect to their network and be subject to their internet filtering?

Or what about at retail stores, blocking access to Amazon and competing stores while you shop.
> Similarities between AOSP and any Android device build are unclear at best.

Indeed. That's why other open source projects make custom ROMs and distributions based on AOSP so you can remove your dependence on those sketchy device builds. Both OSes come with guaranteed government-obligated backdoors, but only one still has the tools to mitigate them.

The AOSP is an undeniable net-positive for accountability, as well as giving security researchers an unprecedented platform for responding to and researching mobile exploits.

> This is not so much iOS as iCloud services though

Yes, they explicitly illustrate both device and iCloud warrants being filled en-masse. Apple builds backdoors into your system and offers them to state-level actors.

We can go down this "obligated" route if you'd like, but it only further illustrates the importance of accountable OS design, like how the AOSP is arranged.
Apple has a thunderbolt one where the stand alone is 4 figures.
It's improved with some recent Changes e.g. notifications.
You can go your entire time in San Francisco without visiting Oakland, and all the cities on the Peninsula or North Bay you're likely to visit instead have much, much lower crime rates. I'm not sure why including Oakland is necessary to make an apples-to-apples comparison to Portland, which OP claims was safer than San Francisco.

Apple's App Store has a specific rule that excludes many PWAs from being approved, you may have a tough time convincing a reviewer that it should be allowed on the store https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#min...
This has been going on for years. Not many people know of the deep integration between Apple and the carriers. Your iPhone, when a SIM is inserted, pairs it with a "carrier profile" which is downloaded from Apple's servers. This profile, among other things, has network settings and preferences such as the APN. That's why you need to have the phone connected to the internet to "activate" it; it's part of the provisioning process. These wifi offload networks (along with likely a setting if it can be disabled or not) is likely downloaded as part of that profile.

This is reminiscent of those "ad supported" ISPs of yesteryear that people would subscribe to then complain that it has ads.
This sfgate article does not identify the person killed. Where did "Bob Lee" come from?

So Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on “good” trackpads and most things are fixed with software? But hardware is the arguments they make for their Apple purchases!
some interesting tidbits:

> stretched our ML supercomputer scale .. to 4096 TPU v4 nodes

> The Google tradition is to write retrospective papers ... TPU v4s and A100s deployed in 2020 and both use 7nm technology

> The appropriate H100 match would be a successor to TPU v4 deployed in a similar time frame and technology (e.g., in 2023 and 4 nm).

> TPU v4 supercomputers [are] the workhorses of large language models
(LLMs) like LaMDA, MUM, and PaLM]. These features allowed the 540B parameter PaLM model to sustain a remarkable 57.8% of the peak hardware floating point performance over 50 days while training on TPU v4 supercomputers

> Google has deployed dozens of TPU v4 supercomputers for both internal use and for external use via Google Cloud

> Moreover, the large size of the TPU v4 supercomputer and its reliance on OCSes looks prescient given that the design began two years before the paper was published that has stoked the enthusiasm for LLMs
Ask HN: Chat GPT plugin to copy response as HTML
Hi, I've been playing around with doc2.site which uses Google Docs to create web pages. I tried several Chat GPT plugins to enhance my doc content with semantics like headings, emphasised text etc.

The problem is I always get plain text responses from Chat GPT (and plugins) even if you ask for the HTML output and then if you copy paste the output into Google Docs, you get the HTML tags like <h2>blah</h2>.

I found a script that does copy the output as HTML:
"const blob = new Blob([html], {type: 'text/html'});" so it's super easy actually but I couldn't find a plugin that handles it nicely like a copy paste response as HTML button.
The probability is much lower than that.

To begin with, it requires the distance between 2 consecutive matches to be exactly 65536. This is extremely rare. Mountains of files never generate such a situation.
Then it needs to employ a repcode match as the match following the 65536 literals. Repcode matches are more common after short literal lengths (1-3 bytes). Needless to say, 65536 is far from this territory, so it's uncommon to say the least.
Finally, the block splitter must be active (hence only high compression modes),
and it must decide to split the block exactly at the boundary between the literals and the repcode match.

So this is not 0, since Google found a sample, but all these conditions _together_ have an astronomically low chance to happen, as in competitive with winning the Powerball jackpot. I wouldn't worry so much for my own dozens of archives.
not really, only the interconnects between nodes are optical
I think the most interesting (and yet obvious) observation of this article is about the very non-linear distribution of wealth (and income) in the modern world. 10x/20x differences are rarely justified by effort or skill, of course. Luck and compounding effects give a partial explanation. But it’s rather clear that inherited compounding effects have a larger effect, and until we have a way to rebalance wealth, more than income, we won’t be able to change that.

Seriously. Get some help. You ain't all right.
Try to clearly define what is gambling and what isn't so people can reliably avoid gambling. You won't be able to do it because the financialized economy is a big unavoidable casino.

You can define extreme cases of clear gambling like slot machines, but the opposite isn't true. There are no extreme "definitely 100% not gambling" examples. At best you can identify things that are relatively less gambling like.

Even things that were considered canonical not gambling examples have become more like gambling. Ex: Buying a house. When people used to put 20% down, carefully shop for months, and live in a house their whole lives that's not gambling.

But now? People buy houses at 10-20x leverage, waive inspection, and go from tour to offer in 2 days. Job loss for either spouse could mean foreclosure. If the market doesnt appreciate fast they will be upside down and stuck. How is this not gambling?

I've found Copilot to be much better than GPT-4.

GPT seems really smart and you can give it very high-level prompts, which generate good quality code. But it's limited by the chat interface, and if it doesn't get it right the first time, it's tricky to get a tweaked version. For example, I asked it to generate some code for a login endpoint, and gave it all the details about language, libraries, database etc. It produced some pretty good code. But then I asked it to do a version didn't store passwords in plaintext. It did that, but also made other changes including using a different library than one I had specified. So then I had to try to fix that, which led to more weirdness. I ended up just using the code it generated as inspiration and writing it myself.

Copilot, with its integration into VSCode is quite different. It's *awesome*. It makes suggestions in inline, as you type. It seems to have a lot of context, and generates very good code, apparently based on information contained in other files in the same project. It matches style and naming conventions, and even when it's not quite right, I find it easy to just accept the suggestion, and tweak it. It's a huge help.

So my current practice is to rely on Copilot to generate code and use GPT as sort of a pairing partner that I can talk to about the code. It's pretty good at suggesting alternatives, developing ideas, explaining error messages and so on. This is a very, very early attempt at coding with the help of AI, and I haven't actually seen a productivity improvement, because I don't know how to use these tools well. But it's fun and exciting!

the modern graphics API landscape is a disaster. they killed opengl es, they basically killed opengl. Apple is trying to lock everyone in with metal, khronos group is trying to get everyone to move to vulkan, microsoft is doing the same with d3d12. The only people winning here are the major engines and AAA studios who have the scale to deal with all the platform complexity and benefit from it because it creates a moat from competitors. There's an argument for regulation here because the market is dysfunctional but I don't think we'll ever see the day where politicians understand complex technology issues enough to fix it.
Doesn't MATE or other FOSS DE try to emulate an XP-like feel but a bit more modernized?

Sadly I think the Surface Laptop Studio has replaced the Surface Book line.
Once you account for the initial purchase price, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and parking, $10K/year on average is probably an underestimate.

That doesn't even account for increased costs created by auto-centric development, which incentivizes sprawl and makes housing more expensive (eliminating parking minimums can cut monthly rents by $250 per unit because you can fit in a lot more units), roads more expensive, and even simple things like eating out at a restaurant more expensive because you're still paying for all that parking, even if it's baked into the purchase price.

It is certainly possible to have a car for only a few grand a year by buying used cars and doing your own maintenance and repairs on your own, but that comes with the compromise of decreased reliability, and most Americans need a reliable car. My own costs are probably around $5K a year because I drive a 20-year-old diesel VW Jetta, but I also don't need a car on a day-to-day basis because I bike to work.
Between System 76 and Framework, it's clear there's demand for open and not bullshit hardware. Linux really is getting better by the second (spoken as a NixOS daily driver on 4 machines - Windows gives me an ulcer. Thank god for Wine!)

> If you believe that your phone is a tool of the NSA

My phone is a tool of the NSA. The "worst case scenario" you're citing is backdoor access that exists on billions of phones and has been used millions of times. We are firmly in the age of warrentless surveillance.

The original claim was that iOS is "spyware for the masses". If you cannot deny that the ability to snoop on iPhones exists, I don't see a path for refuting it.
Besides the sibling comments, microcode is how all Xerox computers worked, each language flavour had their own bytecode (Smalltalk, Interlisp, Mesa, Mesa/Cedar), and the respective microcode for the specific bytecode would be loaded on boot.

I don’t know if we should be so casually derisive about this after reading the article. I kind of see JD’s side of things, enough to at least make the case that they have a legitimate claim. The case raises an interesting question about what constitutes parody, because the product in question certainly seems to barely straddle the line between parody and a legitimate attempt to profit off the trademark. I’ll be quite curious to see how the judges decide.

Are you implying that I am jobless or that I got a job without interviewing?

I however did not grovel and beg or feel humiliated about getting a job, so I guess never is the correct answer.

This feels very much like this eternal "white-board coding is bad" take which always boils down to the arguer having twisted view of what the point of interviews even are and having mental/socializing issues.

They're both called the "D" flag, and they both globally control the behavior of certain processor instructions. Besides that, they're totally different.

The 8086 D flag is the direction for string instructions, whether to increment or decrement the index registers after each repetition. One use was for moving memory between overlapping regions by starting at the end and working backwards.

The 6502 D flag is for decimal mode. When set, the instructions ADC and SBC do BCD arithmetic instead of binary, e.g. 0x09 + 0x01 = 0x10 instead of 0x0A as you'd expect. The 8086 also has support for BCD, but took a different approach, using separate instructions DAA/DAS for the same purpose.

Both can lead to bugs when you assume the flag is in the "normal" state but it somehow got flipped.
It's easy be prescient when you make self-fulfilling prophecies.

Imagine if you would use one of the middleware engines that support Metal, instead of complaining.
I mean, I've gone to websites similar to this in the past, after seeing them mentioned on sites like Krebs, simply out of sheer curiosity (as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, a lot of my curiosity stemmed from a place of, "Hold on, this sort of site is publicly hosted and easily available to anyone!? I can't believe that"). I've never registered or posted, but some of those sites/forums are wide open for the public to peruse. I'm not even that technologically savvy or into security research, yet I've made it there, so I imagine the number is a bit higher than you'd expect.

What "pressure"? You mean baseless demands to work for free?

Yes, even in that case. In a ranked choice election, you cannot simply look at the numbers in isolation. The opponents to Boudin ran something of a slate where they cross-promoted each other. So in a real sense, Boudin won despite being outspent in 2020. (Though there is a compelling case to make that Boudin's victory was mostly a fluke due to Nancy Tung's Cantonese language voters being misled by local Chinese-only newspapers about policy positions.)

Not exactly, I tried to configure the trackpad open-source (driver?) ages ago.

The hardware itself has so many features/switches which are not open and hence not available to the software.

The hardware and software go hand in hand IMO.

I was about to say. The chat paradigm solves the issue. I nearly always get what I need after rephrasing or adding more context, which is exactly how it works with humans.
Only if it works flawlessly. If it has subtle bugs you spend about as much time solving the task with GPT as if you didn't use GPT. And it requires deep insight into what might go wrong.
