I am in the “ignore science and listen to your body” stage.

Eg, I tried vegan and was utterly miserable.
But I learned how to make delicious plant based dishes and as a result of my vegan period.
I actually eat much less meat/dairy and have higher plant intake now than before my vegan experiment.

Another is how much shit cardio gets from fitness experts.
The moment I stopped doing cardio and resistance only I gained weight, my face got a “haunted” look to it and I got depressed.
Added back my 40 minutes of cardio and I feel normal and healthy again. 30 min resistance followed by 40 minutes of cardio. 30 because thats the programme I follow.
I dont know why 40 min of cardio. Its just what seems optimal for me after a few years of trial and error.

I never eat breakfast. I eat more during the day if I am forced to eat breakfast.
I get heartburn if I dont have an evening snack.
IIRC, the first season of Undercover Boss was more about what workers did behind the scenes, but then it devolved into emotional stories (which office politics would probably fall under).

> more than 20 sanitation services concessions to the private sector

Brazilian here: basic services should NEVER be privatized. While the state of sanitation is, indeed, sad, creating space for private monopolies people can't escape is never a good solution.

It's always better to force the government-owned sanitation companies to meet specific service-level and universality goals and use that to feed the budget that needs congressional approval.
One thing the web specs do incredibly well is cross-linking. I've found it quite easy to start with a high-level spec (e.g. flexbox) and drill down into the bits I need because anywhere another spec is referenced it's linked to directly.
Has anyone ever seen their product? How it stands against state of the art? Are they better than what is already available in open source (Alpaca, Coati etc), and by how much?
Mastodon is just following the long standing trend of open source software sucking from a consumer UX perspective. And as all open source trends go...all the techies adopt it but the rest of the mass market does not. Those are your "noticeable amount of people" ie, not really a long term indicator.

The journalists/hollywood made a big stink about leaving Twitter but the majority slunk back and even got made fun of by the Elon stans. This network despite Twitters problems is still a huge risk preventing Substack's product from taking off.

We already have extensions for websites that spam the user with unwanted popups and other displays. Those just need to be extended to cover permission abuse and be included by default in all webbrowsers.
And this is why the GDPR is so wide. And really so many things can be PII. On individual level yes, location might not identify a person, but with enough data of it combined with other data it can.

Enforcement might be lacking, but at least the intent does make sense each time you hear about cases like this.
Yes, that is a side effect that seems largely unavoidable, perhaps increased automation can compensate a bit.
Replace "AI" with "his cousin" and it's the same crappy outcome, but not a story.
Why not? If we want to build AGI, that’s a good name to choose.
No you're not. I too enjoy working with text the completion LLMs have been able to do for some time. The issue with text completion is that most people don't want to be forced to think about possible document headers when they want inferred answers.

I don't understand why you write "however" here. Isn't it good if the populations with the highest per capita resource usage shrink?
True, yeah both extremes suck. My optimistic hope is that the US self corrects to something like what the European countries have: a flavor of Democratic Socialism. Right now its not looking good, the US is moving further to extreme capitalism with no real end in sight.

Came here to say pretty much the same thing, except I use the Neovim extension for VS Code. It uses Neovim as the backend and, from my experience, behaves a lot more like (Neo)Vim. It is much easier to setup, since debugging is handled by VS Code. The main drawback is VS Code does not work in a terminal, which is okay IMHO since you still have access to Neovim from the shell.
Very much absurd. A user above posted GPGPU, which I guess stands for General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit.

I can already run gpt4xalpaca on my PC, a model that is not-bad-at-all and is completely uncensored (i.e. does things that chatGPT can't do). I think it's true that LLMs are racing to the bottom and will be even more once they can fit as a peripheral to every computer. whoever is investing in this to monopolize has not thought it through
Have you talked to companies and HR people already? Developers will tell you that they don't like doing "leetcode" exercises, but for a large company the latter is at least one instrument to cut down on the number of applications reaching the next stage.

I don't like it either, but you have to see the other side. Don't fall into the trap of building a product from developers, for developers when the actual customer will be companies.
Well it compiles, that's good.
Has some rough edges in terms of CLI ergonomics (panics if file not found) and does not appear to actually put stuff on the clipboard (ubuntu 22 x11, wayland).

Also have a look at edge cases like `zp /dev/null`, `zp /dev/stdout`. And in a CLI context I typically would like to be able to read/write to pipe as in `echo | zp`.

edit:

And what about copying from clipboard (to file)?
There’s needs to be some difficult barriers to entry beyond having the money to spend on training FLOPS in order for a startup to compete.

"boring IT guy stuff. how about them Jets, tho, amiright?"
But their product survived and they ended up being wildly successful.

In a lot of projects, early optimization hurt the development speed and maintainability, sometimes killing the product.

It is easier to see performance bottlenecks once a product is wildly used than adding optimizations everywhere we suspect it might become a problem later.
Readme and latest release note says it now supports Neoverse N1 (ampere altra, graviton2 and maybe some cortex ones) as well as Apple M1.
That's what you get anyway, no? If you google the name of a phone all you get is blog posts with a regurgitated list of specifications that are already available in the manufacturer's website, but padded to a dozen paragraphs so they can put more ads between them. What's the difference?

Why couldn't these be cut in transportable pieces and then industrially grinded?
It's occurred to me lately that, even though they rarely produce anything better than "adequate", LLMs being leveraged as a cheaper alternative to human output means we'll be settling for more, worse-quality content. Economics aside, I loathe to think of the day that ChatGPT is used to describe food allergens, hazard warnings, voltage ratings, or any other quantitative analysis with potentially lethal implications for being wrongly-conveyed that are eventually overlooked because an LLM gets it right most of the time.

It does annoy me somewhat that wind turbines are all of eco friendly, short lifespan, made from plastic and concrete at the same time. Unpopular opinion though.
The parties reshuffle themselves every few decades. Yes in the American system, it is inflexible to have more than two parties but the parties themselves are quite malleable and are following changing trends even though it may not appear to be so day to day. See the movement of Republicans towards far right despite the party leadership trying to stop it (they failed). The same seems to be happening on the Democratic side with them trending towards the far left although that might take a few more election cycles to bear out.
The real limiting factor of AGI is not going to be AGI -- it's going to be everything else.

Digitization of the last mile (instrumentation, feedback), local networking, local compute, business familiarity with technology, standardized processes, regulatory environment, etc.

AGI will happen when it happens.

But if it happens and an economy doesn't have all the enabling prerequisites, it's not going to have time to develop them, because those are years-long migration and integration efforts.

Which doesn't bode well for AGI + developing economies.
It looks like they ported Qt to SerenityOS. I saw a package called "qt6-serenity". Perhaps they use the SerenityOS GUI libraries underneath. Does anyone know?
"Commander", yes, but they command very little. During World War II, President Roosevelt gave exactly two direct commands to the military - that they had to divert 50 long-range bombers to help protect Atlantic convoys, and that North Africa be invaded in 1942. In a four-year-long war, he gave two commands. Contrast that with Hitler, who micromanaged his military, and did them no good by doing so.

So, yes, he does have final command (subject to "legal orders" and similar restrictions). But he's not commanding in the normal sense of a military commander.

You forgot that anyone using it must click a button that says that he will not use it for evil purposes. You also must acknowledge that the AI will not track you. These must be separated disclaimers that need to be validated on every prompt. API usage is thus not allowed.

The AI should also make it 100% clear that whatever gets produced is clearly identifiable as coming form an AI. As a consequence; text cannot be produced because it would be trivial to remove the disclaimer. A currently proposed bill indicates that the AI should only be able to produce images in an obscure format with a randomised watermark that covers at least 65% of the pixels of the image. The bill is scheduled for ratification in 2028 and must be signed by 100% of the state members.

Until then, the grant for the development of this world changing AI is on accelerated path ! Teams can fill a 65 pages document to have a shot at getting a whole $1 million.

Can we use Logflare as a generic logging service?
For the parts of the world I see I would question the present continuous form of the article. The FSF isn't dying. It is in all practical ways dead and all discussion around it is stuck to RMS. Which is sad, as we need a similar organisation as the "user freedom" is challenged more than ever, as users don't "own" their devices ever less, but also operations depends more and more on closed services, which are partially built around Free Software (in FSF's definition) while offering none of the freedoms anymore (as it is tied to the cloud service vendor)
If every other person cared about it wouldnt be arcane or obscure, would it?

A bit of an aside, but it looks like boabs are related to baobabs (genealogically and etymologically), though distinct plants.
It's because NSFW content has higher risks of chargeback and fraud (there's a reason their payment processors charge 20%+). Besides, companies don't want to be on the bad side of outrage; it only takes one mistake of processing a payment for child pornography and your name will be plastered everywhere as a child porn enabler.

Do you really think the execs at Visa and Mastercard are puritans and not profiteering capitalists that will process payments for NSFW content if they were able to?

I won't mention systemd, although I truly dislike it (though I have no particular attachment to init scripts, I was quite fond of Solaris' SMF for example).

The absence of snap and whatever horrors Canonical keeps pushing is another plus, but I'm in not in a good position to judge its impact as I'm blissfully ignorant of how bad they are, I just stumble in the occasional horror story.

Biggest thing I'm missing and wish I had: Docker. Jails may be technically better, but the world went another way and they have no functional ecosystem.
It's interesting you mention that. I've seen a few businesses sort of try and get a holding there, but then abandon their efforts. I think I saw an official MS Azure account that had 14 followers or something. Businesses aren't really clear either on whether or not they're expected to be there, or even allowed. Good point.

I find the analysis flawed. In the article "Marvel is failing because they thought that most people were nerds: that mass audiences would actually want to delve deep into their joyless multiverse and slog through all its lore".

Marvel is failing for the simple reason that it has become "content" for an audience that doesn't exist instead of an entertaining movie/series for the masses. And anyone who has tried to point out that the audience doesn't exist is being called all the things that are bad.
Not much new here, but I do echo the call for new licenses. I would like to see an "Affero MIT" license where I get web-accessible credit for my contribution to a web service and something like an "Affero LGPL" to fill in the gap exposed by the ElasticSearch re-licensing debacle.
Anything involving llamma is not trivial - if I can't do it on my phone through a website, then you shouldn't expect anyone else to be able to do it. If your instructions involve downloading something, or even so much as touching the command line, it makes it a non-starter for 95% of users.

Get something on the level of character.ai and then you can tell me it's "trivial".

I was expecting to see this, there is nothing more corporations would like more then to see him gone. Then they can take full control of the FSF, already they have their hands in it.

So far many of his predictions have come true and there are a few more that seems to be on their way to happening.

What FSF should do is work stop the move to secure boot. Already there are Intel Laptops being created that will not allow us to replace Windows with Linux or a BSD.

This link is one prediction that seems to be where we are well on our way to heading for:

> And he believed the West to be weak (or at least divided and disorganised), so he attacked.

That makes it sound as if Putin attacked because an opportunity presented itself.

I don't think that's why he attacked. I think he attacked because he felt he had no choice. Not because NATO was crowding into his borderlands, which is Putin's story; but because following the collapse of Soviet communism and the USSR, the rump Russia was clearly a state dependent mainly on resource-extraction, which desn't promise a great independent future. Especially with Europe's increasing development of non-fossil energy, earnings from fossil fuel exports could be expected to diminish rapidly.

But why Ukraine? Well, setting aside his deranged opinions about the historic unity of Ukraine and Russia, and the historic destiny of the "Rus", Ukraine was rapidly becoming closer to Europe, and Ukrainians were clearly happy with that prospect. Having a successful, happy fragment of the USSR on his border threatened his control over his own population.

> Turns out he incorrectly believed the strong appearance of his own army.

Agreed! In fact everyone overestimated the strength of his army.
This is not an argument for crypto, it's an argument for better regulations so that processors don't make up their own rules.
AI seems to progress in bursts, and I think we're in the middle of one, but it may be naive to think the progress will continue at the same pace for another 4 years.

When Big Blue beat Kasparov in Chess in 1997, I wonder if anyone would've guessed that it'd take almost 20 years for a computer to beat a master in Go.

IBM Watson was launched in 2010 and had many of the same promises as GPT. It supposedly fell flat in many cases in the real world. I think GPT and other models of the same level can succeed commercially on the same tasks within the next 1-4 years, but that shows it can easily be a decade from some kind of demonstration to actual game changing applications.

In Let My People Go Surfing https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22155.Let_My_People_Go_S... , the author Yvon Chouinard mentioned that nature love diversity and hate mono-culture. While he didn't invent the concept, it was very profound to me.

Earlier here on HN, there was a post about "replacing bad systems with bad systems" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35476350 Sometimes I think to myself, maybe we started with the best system, the nature, and replace it gradually with partial understanding of the nature.

> Can you point out ways in which Logflare uses it that makes it so (for ex, is it tiered-storage with a BQ front-end)?

After 3 months BigQuery storage ends up being about half the cost of object storage if you use partitioned tables and don't edit the data.

> How does Logflare's approach contrast with other entrants like axiom.co/99 who are leveraging blob stores (Cloudflare R2) for storage and serverless for querying for lower costs?

Haven't really looked at their arch but BigQuery kind of does that for us.

tbd

> Are there plans to go beyond just APM with Logflare (like metrics and traces, for instance)?

Yes. You can send any JSON payload to Logflare and it will simply handle it. Official open telemetry support is coming, but it should just work if your library can send it over as JSON. And you can send it metrics.

Postgres will last you a very long time usually but at some point with lots of this kind of data you'll really want to use an OLAP store.
