Thanks! I will fix tonight.
We drill into this in the article and unfortunately many cyber-security tools categorize the education related gTLDs in the same bucket as the verification requiring .edu
These kinds of articles always make me a little sad. They trick me. I start to believe “rticle” follows the A, like a good language model, and in my horror I find it should have been “dvertisement.”

> Spending too much on snowflake? This one tool (of ours) can help (for some cash) reduce how much cash you are spending!

Spend to spend less. For a company struggling with spend, perhaps that’s the argument of a fixed price. Think less.

Fixed vs usage based isn’t really important beyond the bottom line. Data, Serverless, doesn’t matter. It’s just a means of charging dollars, and as long as the right amount of dollars are spent, all is well.

Shouldn’t be important at all without sufficient accompanying headcount. What good is a cost-effective tool without a hand to hold it? Funny thing, that.
It was indeed a joke, but yeah, that's valid (and was how the Eufy issue was discovered IIRC).
I think it’s more likely due to the fact that there are less social safety nets. When people can’t afford to live crime will increase. We’re working more and earning less. Productivity is increasing but the labor is experiencing any of the benefits.

When people can work a full time job and still not afford to support themselves you can’t act surprised when crime increases.
I think you mean "life becoming unaffordable..."
I already said to include cheese pizzas. Adding some with a variety of vegetables introduces unnecessary scope creep. Now it becomes which vegetables, etc. Vegetarians can have cheese pizzas.

You need to keep it simple otherwise you’re back where we started. Most people like pepperoni pizza. Most everyone else is covered with cheese. Vegans can eat a salad.

The way this kind of thing is distributed is a power law. There’s a thin tail of weirdos but most everyone fits into the pepperoni/cheese dichotomy. We over optimize for the thin tail of weirdos and this is why we have 30 variations of pizza most people don’t want and only a few good ones that get hoarded immediately.

Why must we all suffer because a couple people decided to be difficult?
This is not news, nor is it 'hacker' content; I don't think this has a place on HN.
Ask the Firefox team this question!!!!!!!
I’m not saying there isn’t an issue, but you’d never know from this article. Lots of weasel words & assumptions. (“How many stabbings do we not know about because they missed vital organs?”) This definitely isn’t journalism.
That website is just perfect.
Sorry, I wasn’t specific. I was talking about how cImport works in Zig. I didn’t know `zig cc` worked differently.

“ Zig’s @cImport builtin is unique in that it takes in an expression, which can only take in @cInclude, @cDefine, and @cUndef. This works similarly to translate-c, translating C code to Zig under the hood.”

There are a number of articles that almost certainly were sourced from him or his family, and if you search for the Forbes article, one is a direct quote from Musk himself.
Is it different than setting boundaries for your kids?
> If we have learned one thing from deep learning, it is that scaling works. From the ImageNet [15] competitions and their various winners to ChatGPT, Gato [13], and most recently to GPT-4 [1], we have seen that more data and more compute yield quantitatively and often even qualitatively better results. (By the time you are reading this, that list of very recent AI milestones might very well be outdated.). Of course there are improvements to learning algorithms and network architectures as well, but these improvements are only really useful in the context of the massive scale of experiments. (Sutton talks about the “Bitter Pill”, referring to that simple methods that scale well always win the day when more compute becomes available [18].) A scale that is not achievable by academic researchers nowadays. As far as we can tell, the gap between the amount of compute available to ordinary researchers and the amount available to stay competitive is growing every year.

>This goes a long way to explain the resentment that many AI researchers in academia feel towards these companies. Healthy competition from your peers is one thing, but competition from someone that has so much resources that they can easily do things you could never, no matter how good your ideas are, is another thing.

This sounds like teenagers whining they can't all be popular.
Science isn't a competition to be won so that you can get praise and attention. Science exists to discover things that then hopefully are useful to people. If someone that isn't you discovers something useful that isn't bad because then you can't discover it. It is good because that is a problem solved.

The resources requirements FOR SOME SPECIFIC PROBLEMS have gone up to a ridiculous degree, but there are plenty of problems left to solve. In fact a new one that is at least as important has been created: Replicate current results with less hardware/parameters/whatever.

The difference between having GPT4 as a slow and costly service that requires network calls vs having it locally with almost no cost will be a huge achievement. Stop sulking and get to work!
I did a bit of Zig exploration a few months ago, here's a few things that caught my attention:

- You don't have implicit allocations when using Zig stdlib. For example, when you instantiate an ArrayList or HashMap, you need to pass in an allocator, so you have full control over how memory is managed. So, even though you have higher level data structures, you still have a lot of low level control.

- Very good error handling. IMO better than Rust and Golang, while still being very explicit about what is happening

- "Uncolored" async functions, meaning there's no special syntax for declaring functions that can be paused/resumed. If I understood correctly (didn't try it a lot), you can turn any program into "async" by changing how I/O is handled globally. More details here: https://kristoff.it/blog/zig-colorblind-async-await/
lol, It's such a great font.
Computations carried out on GPUs are hardly ever deterministic.

Things happen in parallel and as we known not even something as basic as adding up a bunch of floats is associative. Combining that with the fact that CUDA makes few guarantees about the order your operations will be carried out (at the block level) makes true deterministic behavior unachievable.
i hate that i find this word so hard to say
Does it work with DNS-over-https queries from Apple ?
I tried to grab the Airtag position from my Ipad with MITM Proxy running on a computer, but because it is DNS based some http packets from Apple wouldn't be visible
It just spouts fake news and propaganda, and then seems to get stuck in a loop when its challenged in a way it can't respond to.
The only scoring thing about the EUs cookie policy was fucking noticed on every site for functional cookies.

And let’s be real, the other cookie content popups are probably theater.
Sure, but the immortality drug will have to lead to social change. Every problem is also an opportunity.
Try to use ChatGPT to do any kind of sociological research and you will understand the problem.

We are at the point, where a lot of academic questions, and I do not mean those posed by heterodox academics, are too controversial for the public sphere. People will just assume the worst and try to cancel you. Which is ironic considering that sociology is basically the left leaning twin sister of economics.
In the US, governmental power is supposed to flow from the People - police are standard US citizens. If US citizens do not have a right to firearms, then neither do the police. If police are able to carry firearms, then so should non-police citizens. One possible answer is across the board gun control - with law enforcement most certainly not excepted. Or, police can proactively desscalate and disarm their routine positions - very few people shoot parking attendants.
Combining helps when you later have to make changes to the common part, by making it impossible to forget that there is another place in the code you also need to change. Splitting also introduces technical risk.
This looks super awesome! I just tried it in Chrome however, and after a minute of playing the game it just drops me back to the game library screen. Love the idea though!
Your comment is confusing rudeness with your ignorance of how foreigners feel about food in their host countries vs at home. His comment is not any different than what my Indian and Chinese friends say.
Ask HN: Feedback on Pricing for Webflow Maintenance
I recently started Webflow Maintenance for startups and enterprises. I am doing a soft launch soon.

In my experience, the biggest plan works great for campaigns that companies run and need support for Webflow development and maintenance. Would you buy a plan for your company rather than hiring in-house? I want to understand what everyone thinks.

That being said, I would appreciate any feedback from design to pricing.

PHP has a lot more of C++'s "All the defaults are wrong" disease than Java does, which can matter for security because if there's a security default, in PHP it's probably wrong unless you fixed it.
Ooooh and here I was, an ignoramus thinking OpenAI was mostly trying to find a way to milk the generative models cash cow. Silly, cynical me, I should have known better.
I think it's an awful image personally.
"Humans are in general terrible judges what should or should be not talked about"

Maybe that is, because judging this is quite arbitary and subjective?

I like to speak (and joke) very openly about most things, ignoring taboos as much as possible.
Because if we are not allowed to talk about problems, how can we hope to solve them?

For example people with mental problems. Maybe locked away in some institution. And how their relatives deal with the situation.

The default is to not talk about it openly, rather hide it. And I offended people, by speaking normal and openly about it (only among people, who also knew about it). Not to offend them, but to make it a normal problem. Yes there is a problem, so why not deal with it directly? Make the situation as normal as possible again.
You're proving my point. MS was profitable under ballmer as well but lost many competitions. It could have been many times more profitable than apple.
Congrats on your accomplishments. I did not see any ads on your landing page. Am I missing something?

In the early 00's when I was debating if I should pursue software dev (again) I wrote a couple of Win32 native apps in C and absolutely loved writing them. One of the apps was a workout timer which I submitted to Freewarefiles.com. It peaked around 48K downloads. Unfortunately freewarefiles is no more so I can't show off my one and only "successful" native app.

Sometimes I feel I want to delve back into native apps instead of web based.
I'd have one very important addition, as you tend to use the word yourself even if you basically term at pointing out this distinction:

The law itself does not even mention "cookies", afaik.

It aims at regulating ANY kind of detection or storage of PII, regardless of it's technical nature.

"Cookies" are preferred nomenclature partly because non technical users kinda understand what it means, but it's VERY MUCH also part of the very tactics you are writing about: because "do you accept cookies?" is a really really cute obfuscation of "do you consent to us taking your fingerprints and tracking everything you do online?".

That also goes for calling the GDPR the "EU cookie law".

The EU already had a "cookie law" long before GDPR that already mandated informing users about the site's usage of cookies, but it was widely ignored or even unknown to publishers outside of the eu since it: didn't regulate consent & storage, referred to cookies specifically and had thus become easy to kite with modern tracking techniques even if anybody gave a damn, and also didn't impose any kind of substantial sanctions when breached.

The GDPR aimed to fix that and therefore explicitly avoids specifying any technology it should be applied to. It's applicable to cookies, server side tracking, fotos of you or paper forms just the same.
Guess I'm saying that is done. The problem is there are a dozen definitions of "Sentient", and many people have already written proofs on how AI can be "Sentient", and there are just as many people have written proofs on how AI can never be "Sentient". It comes around to definitions and understanding of the definitions. To just toss out the "AI can be sentient" side because they have the burden, is just the same "It's so obvious I don't have to bother" judgment we've seen throughout history.
How is HN falling for this again, barely 24h after the Bob Lee story showed how this forum is prone to these narratives?

The very first link in the article from StatsCan is "Canada's crime rate: Two decades of decline". It says the opposite of what the NP article is quoting it for.

This misquotation is followed by a series of anectodes, and backed up by the intellectual weight of... an opinion survey.

The multiple of anecdote is not "data".

The correct title for this article is "people believe there is an increase in crime", for which articles like this is the reason.
The housing market is so tight that crack houses sell for $1M in major cities. Problem is, it's not like the junkies and squatters disappear after that. They move into public spaces like parks and metro stations which causes conflict and violence that the general public now sees. It seems like every day there's stories of a stabbing or whatever happening on a bus or train.
Ah, so like a presidential debate

I searched and couldn't find anything in the tailscale client repo. Link to the issue?

Did find headscale docs about "Setting custom DNS records"[0]. It seems only `A` and `AAAA` records are supported. This might be the start of setting up headscale this weekend.

Can’t really argue with most of their logic. The site is fast and responsive. I did get a sense that most if the criticism is really based on anxiety about the authors own position, i.e., a buzzword internet startup type is of course going to feel panic if it is highlighted that their fancy designs and site that is heavily reliant on violating people’s privacy and security bogs down the site and the whole internet with it. It’s typical crabs in a barrel nitpicking.

And yes, I realize I just upset many sensibilities here.
It's going to be baby steps of course. For the specialties that I am most familiar with, note writing will probably be the first thing to be automated. I can feed GPT-4 a garbled mess of a note now and it will make a pretty good note today (a made up visit, with well written examples in the prompt). After Epic gets permission to use real notes, it will be just a stack of dominoes that falls down after that. And it's already happening [1].

Once you can throw crap against a screen and epic makes a decent note out it, history gathering will come next. "GPT-Medical" will go through prior notes and summarize them for the current visit. And after that is fixed, pts will be required to do an interview with "GPT-Medical" before the visit. Of course there will be real physicians working with these systems as the care is advanced.

Honest question here: How does poverty imply violent crime? I’ve been to impoverished areas of China and it was safer than any place in the US for example. I don’t see how when someone is struggling with poverty that will increase their probability of engaging in violence.
This is cool, thanks for sharing. How did you find or form the mastermind group you mentioned in the post?
We need to make it clear there's nothing scientific about Social "Sciences", or risk losing the credibility real Sciences deserve.
Asia (Or Eurasia, or Africa/Eurasia) comprise multiple tectonic plates, as does America (or North/South America). Is the area south of the Himalayas a separate continent from the area north because they're on different plates? What continent is Iceland in? Or Japan, much of which is on the North American plate.

There's no clear definition and there's far to much political and cultural meaning in the definition of a continent so any definition involving the term is going to be ambiguous.
I can't speak for Canada, but for the US I think it's important to acknowledge that leading up to (and beyond) the "years of ACAB and calls to defund the police" we had/have rampant police corruption and lack of accountability.

I don't agree with ACAB but I also don't think enough departments are doing enough to clean house despite the light that body cams are beginning to shine on these previously-hidden practices.
The AI Judge responded to me in Japanese. Not sure what's up with that.
I don't get this. The whole (western) world is sinking, including my country x but I cant notice or complain that my country x is sinking if I'm conservative and every other western country is sinking?

Could every sinking country have something in common... like being a Western country?
OpenAI was created to trade (literally) on the "open" in their name. Any advancements in actual technology are likely secondary to the billion fucking dollar investment (which Altman has suggested might not be enough!). It's certain they aren't here to do "science", which IME involves showing your work to others.
I first learned typing on a Selectric. The keyboard felt so nice, then they put me on a Commodore 64 and eww. I remember switching with my parent cause I didn't want to use the Commodore again, but after a few weeks I had to stop that as some assignments had to be handed in electrically (I think on disk, though my memory is fuzzy and network options did exist). I haven't seen a Selectric since, but I still remember how nice it felt to type on.

The article talks about closure of mental hospitals and an increase in violence. But, unless I missed it they didn’t make a connection between the two. I don’t think any of the killings of the 8 police officers in the article were done by medically ill people. Yes the mentally ill can be violent, but I don’t think that’s behind the increase in violence here, and it’s disingenuous to report it this way, as if it is, with no evidence to back it up.

It may well be related to the catch and release policy with repeat offenders. Criminals are going back onto the street and committing crimes again and laughing at the police when they get arrested. That unsurprisingly will lead to more crime, but if it leads to more violence is also not established by the article. We’ve seen these kinds of policies all over in liberal strongholds in the US and Canada, and it seems insane to me. I spent three months in Manhattan and it was eye opening. I had to ask someone to come unlock the toothpaste at Walgreens. Another time I went to target to buy ground beef, only to discover they’d just been robbed of all of their meat. I live in the developing world, where there is real poverty, and high levels of violent crime, but I’ve never seen anything like that.
Bob Rae focused on a lot of important issues, his 1991 budget was extremely well thought out, focusing heavily on integrated neighborhoods, low income housing, and social security, he wanted to make sure that fast forward, Ontario didn't turn into a total nightmare. Well, here we are. I'll never forgive Mike Harris for what he did to the province.

Whether it was an "old-fashioned" term in 1961 doesn't have much bearing on whether we should use it now, though.
Indeed. Paying my $100 restaurant bill costs the company ~$100. Making sure an extra $100 shows up in my bank account costs a lot more than $100 due to taxes.

Couldn't actually read for very long. The content scrolling over the static background image gave me motion sickness.

The 1980s theme was the only one I could stand, and the 1990s theme appears to be the same as the Tropical Days theme. All the ones with the background are essentially unusable for me.

It's their site, they can do whatever they want, but it's a bit silly to act like there's something wrong with anyone who has a problem with it. For example, in the default theme the yellow text (#FFFF00) with the pink highlight (#FF00FF) fails WCAG contrast requirements across the board.

Maybe the really don't care whether everyone has an easy time reading their site or not, and that's their choice, but I find the snark about it off-putting. It's not difficult to design a site that's easy for everyone to read.

My son has never seen a typewriter in person or a printer that wasn’t inkjet or laser, I think he is missing out.

Didn’t IBM make printers that also used the selectric balls? That would be a great novelty item to have. No idea if you can still buy tractor feed paper someplace to use it.
Generally, small talk serves to get people started: it makes the conversational juices flow. More interesting subjects may well then arise. (Or not, in which case, the brief conversation comes to a natural end, and you talk to someone else.)
I would absolutely consider many or most of the mandatory tasks of keeping a company, any company, running are the difficulties of having a company, regardless of how difficult any individuals at that company consider those tasks to be.

Yes, successful pharma companies are good at overcoming the challenges involved, some of which you listed. The point is that being able to do so is necessary for that success, and thus, an obstacle.
It won’t actually argue all sides of an issue. Take any controversial one, and it stays inside its guardrails no matter which opinion you want it to counter.

I primarily blame municipal governments for the housing crisis, with a secondary finger pointed at the provincial governments that have the constitutional power to override bad municipal decisions.

This is the fruit of NIMBYism, same as in California.
