1. Are you adding documents through the API with URLs? URL parsing is only supported through the UI right now, through the API it will just add that url as the metadata.
2. Will add md support soon!
3/4. We are working on ways to give more configuration to how the context is formatted like you mentioned, keep an eye out for updates!
5. The response from the completion API should return a "search_results" array which includes the chunks and other columns/metadata/images. If the array is empty there may be something wrong in the search config, happy to hop on a call some time or help in our Discord

Hope this helps!
It's really amazing how it came out 15 years ago, but was a short novel series published almost 20.

I'm also amazed how I discovered it back then too, vs today when I'm not connected to anime at all.

Hi HN!

As a product engineer with both technical and product (TPM) experience I've maintained ownership (dev and product) of complex projects both in large FAANG organizations and small growth-stage startups. Each of these posed different challenges, however I've found that technical problems (from an engineering perspective) are most interesting and engaging for my current skill-sets.

I've had great luck networking and finding prior roles via HN, please feel free to drop an email if you think there's potentially a fit for my skillset!
Why would they care about developers? They care about their customers. People buy their stuff and you, as a dev, have to support Safari. Whether you like it or not. It's called work.
Then why don’t people buy those over apple products? If you change Apple into that, I would be sad because now you’ve taken away a choice I had before.
Not sure I understand your question. Both speed and usage would be an issue; I average ~70 mbps during the day but drop to ~40 overnight, not much to share before I'm close to our ISP's 6 (which was about half the price, no caps).

I'm also at about 80% of the usage cap.
To be fair the build quality of a $200 Chromebook is pretty rubbish. The pixel is probably on par with Macbooks in terms of build quality but again that's so expensive you may as well get a macbook air.
That's a big advantage of the older Macs and Thinkpads and Elitebooks and XPS and so on: you can trivially restore an aged 10-year-old T440P into a highly functional machine by bumping it up to 16GB of RAM, adding a new battery, and a couple of 1 or 2TB SSDs. I did the same a couple of times with my 2008 MBP, that was indeed a great machine. All of the above can easily be updated to modern Linux or Windows 10 installs to your liking.

But new Macs with soldered RAM and soldered storage and glued batteries may feel nicer on the Apple Store shelf, but a few years down the road when the base model specs are no longer adequate and the latest OSX releases drop them from support, you won't be able to repeat that process.

Where's the fifteen year old IRC client which does hardware accelerated video chat from a web browser?

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Except we have evidence: given a choice of Teams or IRC, businesses choose Teams.
I'm a big fan of the "backwards" build system Make. It's very concise, portable enough, and not language-specific. I use it on literally 100% of my projects to hold small scripts. Example: "setup Python virtualenv" or "do a fast feedback loop with Lint" or "do a slower high quality feedback loop with Pylint and the full test suite".

I'm thrilled people are developing other options, building a project "forwards".

FYI "strace" on Linux makes it doable to trace build dependencies. Alas it doesn't work on macOS, and I haven't found an easy equivalent.
Reminded me:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_integrator

The Water Integrator (Russian: Гидравлический интегратор Gidravlicheskiy integrator) was an early analog computer built in the Soviet Union in 1936 by Vladimir Sergeevich Lukyanov. It functioned by careful manipulation of water through a room full of interconnected pipes and pumps. The water level in various chambers (with precision to fractions of a millimeter) represented stored numbers, and the rate of flow between them represented mathematical operations. This machine was capable of solving inhomogeneous differential equations.

When asking a question on Stackoverflow or some similar forum, I find that it takes as long as a day to edit my question until I have clearly stated the problem. It's not easy to ask a good question. One has that obligation however. Actually, I don't think it improves my chances of getting an answer. ChatGPT will almost always answer. I often need to tweak its answer, but it's worthwhile to ask. Again, creating the correct question takes considerable work.

"Cheap knockoff" might be good enough for many usecases, but they are not near equal quality.

I'd guess the printer farm is paramount to prusas reliability. Don't know if anyone else runs something similar? If not for printing parts for their own printers having their own printer-service might be a good idea.
And my bet is that they will not, long term.

If you use "AI" to increase productivity, you're doing it by reviewing the code from the "AI" less than you would your own. That lack of review, and testing, will slow down velocity over time as the software becomes untenable, unmanageable, and too complicated to understand.

Meanwhile, my slow velocity at first will result in great design and little technical debt. Eventually, my velocity will increase, and I'll beat my competitors.

It's the way the press pushes that to the front that I find demeaning to those two exceptional individuals.

It's the same as all my non-white and/or female colleagues are considerably more often asked to visit career fairs and outreach programs at schools and universities. All of them know it's neither their people skills nor their undeniable ability that puts them front and center, and they hate it.
I had direct 100% access to every single aspect of one individuals life. Talked directly about the subject dozens to hundreds of times.

I absolutely know both the financial details as well as personal motivations. Others in that sphere I do not have as much intimate knowledge of but they follow the same pattern and social circles.

This topic is something HN (or rather the demographics that tend to post on HN) simply has a giant blind spot on.

It's not so much that each kid is a net benefit. It's that having kids are a requirement to access many government programs in my state. Single folks simply don't get help. I still know people in my past life who have never worked a single day and have had all expenses paid for by the state using such programs. Add some child support in and it's a way to live, even if a pretty crappy one. There is also very little planning for when the benefits end as the kids age out.

I really think every young adult should have to spend a year living in a section 8 complex as an assistant super. It may open many eyes to the state of the US and our social condition.
> Is society a happier place when people don't have constructive relationships? Are people themselves happier?

As someone that struggles with trust issues due to childhood psychological trauma I have some experience with the intentional solitude perspective. I think the maths is that you get a more consistent outcome. You may be sacrificing the highs of relationships but you're also dodging the lows of if/when that falls apart. If you can scratch your social and physical itches in other ways (e.g. the internet can provide some of the most basic social interaction needs) then entering into relationships just feels like an unnecessary double-sided risk (to them and you).

I want to call for a global pause in premature hyperbolic freaking out about LLMs. The scope and breathlessness of people's opining about these systems poses real and urgent risks to the public. Both "maybe it's the beginnings of AGI" and "that means maybe it's the beginning of skynet" are not constructive. Because many of these opinion pieces are speculative, they are inherently not based in fact but can scare and distract people, and hinder proper investigation and responses to more material risks by regulators. Posts which cherry-pick successful interactions with LLMs _without awareness of its training data_ may convince humans to inappropriately trust outputs from these models. Posts which cherry-pick interactions in which these models display poor behavior may inappropriately convince humans that their are somehow worse than human-produced content sourced from the world-wide misinformation-swamp and social media harassment cesspit.

These are new jobs. My pet theory is that meta is a business with no product or purpose at the moment.

Once they know what they want to do to remain a business they will hire good people for that new product.

I suspect though that "good people" for someone like Meta are usually head hunted and will be offered bespoke contracts from day 1.

All tinfoil hat speculation on my part to be honest.

> The American middle class healthcare system, employer plans, is specifically designed to reduce dynamism by making it harder to quit your job.

I’m confused, my understanding was that changing jobs is much much more frequent within the US middle class than elsewhere. How does that make sense if as you say quitting is so risky.

What specifically is risky about the US setup? Of course it encourages not being unemployed as healthcare when unemployed is a problem but most people just line up a new job before quitting.
Those must be the most random locations I've seen in quite a while ha!
I've seen a couple of these articles about how EV makers should add EMI shielding so they can have AM radio, and I notice that all of them steer around the issue of how much it would cost. If it adds $1 to the price of the car, sure, but if it adds $100, no way. We need EVs to be as affordable as possible to spur adoption; adding a bunch of cost for the take of a technology which-- let's be perfectly honest here-- hardly anybody uses, is a terrible tradeoff.
This is neat, but I wonder about applying thrust through the container?

I also was kind of expecting a kite TBH. I wonder if the extra work of a kite is a good trade off, I feel like the tying off the thrust issue is easier with a kite than a mast.

I don't see a problem with this so long as it is by choice. At least in japan there is a place for people like this unlike in the west.

I mean, I get not having a place in social circles, communities and even things like never marrying or having kids and not having friends. Whatever, Those are all great but no one deserves them. But if a person, for whatever reason, cannot socialize or interact well with others should they..what? Die or be institutionalized? Should that human potential go to waste? If they can wfh or in any way function I think they should be supported.

I don't think I am a social recluse to that level myself but I am constantly frustrated and fail at being expected to be socially-competent. And it isn't for a lack of effort, so I feel like I can relate to this a bit.

Some people truly have a mental deficiency (and maybe I am one but I don't know) but in many cases it is similar to obesity in that everyone from the outside can easily suggest that you work out and diet but in reality, for many people this is like saying "climb mount everest while running a marathon".

People in general first and foremost must be allowed to exist in their current state before they can improve their situation, so long as they aren't causing harm to others.

> The way mmap handles memory makes it a bit tricky for the OS to report on a per-process level how that memory is being used. So it generally will just show it as "cache" use. That's why (AFAICT) there was some initial misunderstanding regarding the memory savings
It has been shown multiple times that it is incapable of doing math with any consistency. It does not understand numbers, it just knows where numbers usually show up.
If AR and VR could get baked into a pair of glasses that people would want to wear anyway ie indistinguishable from regular glasses, and at a price point accessible to the general public, the space would explode. Who can say how far off that is.
I liked the show for a while, but Sean Evans' hosting curdled my ability to watch anymore. His adherence to formula, obsequious mirroring of his guests, and performatively identical physical and vocal tics from episode to episode left me... annoyed. I watch the occasional highlight, but I can take Sean about as well as I can take Jimmy Fallon these days, which is not at all.

His questions, though, tend to be great.
The SD card slot is a pretty good way to get yourself a little more disk space - a perennial problem with students in particular.

There are a couple of companies that make aluminum trays sized to exactly fill the sd card slot on older Macbooks and remain flush (there's a detente for sticking a wire in to pull it out. The tray has wiring for a microSD card. On that machine, I moved my iTunes library there. Since it's read-only, I don't need to worry too much about wear or write IO bandwidth.
I have a theory that a lot of the “future technologies” we all grew up dreaming about are actually too complex for humans to create. It may be that only sufficiently advanced AI has the intelligence to create perfect AR software.
Language, we are learning, happens to correlate extremely well with the actual structure of the world. In hindsight, it’s not that surprising. The entire purpose of language is to help humans send information about the world to each other!

To predict the next word very accurately for a huge variety of texts, a model must have some amount of real understanding. Sure, it may look different than human understanding.

But there’s no way around this. GPT could not predict so accurately if it didn’t have any understanding the world.
Not nearly enough of them especially in the tech sector. Look at all of the damage google did when buying youtube and facebook buying instagram. Competition and innovation are supposed to be good things.

Plenty of good answers already, but I’ll add this to clarify:

> A declarative if statement doesn't make sense.

That’s exactly right (and was the point I was trying to make, though I can see how it isn’t necessarily clear, particularly with the pseudo code syntax I chose). But a declarative if expression definitely makes sense.

Let me rewrite the example as an s-expression:

(if condition
a
b)

In a lisp, this would produce a value which is either a or b depending on the value of condition. (It would typically be implemented as a macro so only a or b is evaluated, but that’s an implementation detail.)

But an if expression is not the only way to declare conditions. For instance you might have something like:

(first
(filter predicate?
[a b]))

This isn’t exactly semantically equivalent, but it’s hopefully clear that it’s not imperative.

Of course lisps are generally (though not always) closer to the functional paradigm than a more declarative paradigm like say logic programming. But if you look at say Prolog, you’ll find that it too uses conditions for definition (though again with somewhat different semantics).
Cool to see

If you have been playing around with OpenAIs APIs you know how annoying it is to actually integrate them to existing rpducts, since it's responses are not consistent and are really just generated text.
