There’s more engineering talent now not less
I think it's more because Linux OS developers have never bothered to move away from Unix's "all apps get mixed together at absolute locations" filesystem model.

If apps were like on Mac - self-contained directories that can be installed at any path - then Docker would probably be a footnote.
Some people do cert pinning to prevent this, but generally yes it is pretty simple.
boomer parents told this to their millennial children. then the boomers started believing everything they read on facebook despite the millennial warnings. now everybody needs a warning not to believe what they read on the AI.
I was really betting that HN comments would all be Mission homeless complaining about how dangerous the city is with all of those ultraviolent tech bros in it.

Terrible prediction. This is why I never gamble.
Someone on Metafilter(?) once suggested a high overlap between IT personnel and libertarians.

It has been interesting to consider but after decades of observation I don't think it's a political thing-- I think tech attracts a disproportionate number of textbook Narcissists.

Those fuckers crave power. We have absolute control over entire ecosystems. At first it's freedom for all, but then we turn into dictators regarding our governance of it.

In the end it becomes Domain Admin rights for me, principle of least privilege for thee.
Home Assistant and Whisper and GPT-4 Voice Assistant
I did this to scratch an itch and set it up as a challenge on how much more productive ChatGPT would make me writing code. I'm not just amazed by the productivity but also by the performance of this system outperforming all of the voice assistants out there with a depth of understanding that surprises every time I use it. I might have put a maximum of 5 hours developing this altogether. Sign of new times to come wrt to developer productivity and pace of innovation...
I thought about specifying some form of "human induced killing" but couldn't figure out how to word-lawyer it to be the group consisting of "murder + suicide".
Love how HN loves data driven analysis, except when analyzing SF violent crime rates.
Given the large number of individuals that have access to such top secret documents, it is likely that enemies already are in the know of the sensitive information. Classifying information as top secret primarily functions to prevent the general public from the knowledge unless it is leaked to the press.
Two things can be true at the same time: SF has declined immensely and the killer in this case was not a criminal homeless addict.
JavaScript comes to mind. Its benchmarks are a wonderful testament to the immense engineering resources poured into V8.
This is advice so broad and generic, that it's just about useless.

If you don't store any API keys in your binary, how do you handle crash-logging and analytics? How do you integrate with third-party log-in SDKs?

You _could_ vend some of those (not the crash-logging ones, etc) from your API, but then how do you authenticate to _that_, if you can't have any secrets?

You can't login-gate all of those, and many of those are not easily rotated.
BBS systems still exist: https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/
Last I knew, Google Earth on desktop also lets you play with local KML files.
So you want to ban porn sites and outlaw Hackernews or what concrete examples do you have in mind for "disconnecting from virtual stimuli like porn and social media"
You might want to read the primary source before accusing someone of lying. Misdemeanor assault and petty theft are also on the list. I admit that I chose a left-leaning article to cite so that people like you would read something rather than dismissing it outright as biased, but the primary source is linked there. CNN, apparently peddlers of "lazy lies" themselves, chose not to put the full list down.
Ask HN: Why is clickbait like kryptonite on HN?
It's possible that Vector databases may end up like "feature stores". Never really caught on in industry. Didn't do anything that current databases couldn't do. Ultimately you still have the storage layer and the query engine, probably with an analytical optimization layer in between to speed things up.
Yes, which is why most people do not run Tor exit nodes because it’s inherently riskier to have your equipment directly involved in legal activity. Tor is actually safer than this since the traffic is encrypted so a node operator can quite confidently say they don’t know the contents. Some of the charges in this case will depend on whether these developers were in fact similarly unaware of who their heaviest users were. That doesn’t help with charges related to not following KYC, of course, because unlike an IP network financial services are fairly heavily regulated.

Your belief expressed in #2 is at odds with the charges specifically saying he profited from money laundering activity. We’ll see when that goes to court exactly what that meant and whether there’s evidence suggesting that he knew where those fees were coming from.
The Beginnings of Sublime Text
I did not say anything like that.
Supabase are killing it. I wish they had a Terraform provider.
I'm writing go in my dayjob right now, and my reaction was "hey under a megabyte for a runtime with GC is pretty good!"

So I checked just now, and my hello world for go was 1.9M. And you're well within your rights to just declare "the fact that go is even worse doesn't make Janet good" but let's be honest - plenty of people have accepted go's compromises, so something coming in at better than half the size is relatively much better.

edit: out of curiosity i used gcc to make hello worlds in C and C++, which came in at 32k and 37k respectively.
>We might be just going back to the time of early, anonymous internet forums time where most people used to it just didn't take it too seriously, and a lot of communities were closed /invite only.

What would prevent that some of those people use AI, even if it's invitation-only forum/whatever? I just don't think the "old internet" can come back anymore. If anything, maybe in-person activities may get increasingly popular.
I would think that they are. That’s how they got Reality Winner. I wouldn’t be surprised if watermarking is part of the story when they end up catching the guy.
I see, you mean "someone at Google, just not the author"? Because the author explicitly said he doesn't do follow ups and so he doesn't know if his question is a good predictor of actual performance. Maybe someone else at Google does the follow up, is this what you mean? Strange that the author doesn't mention this though.
Perhaps they can make not using Twitter a crime.
So they say now.
A different government after the next election might say something different.

Lützerath was demolished for coal just this year.
> stats prove otherwise

Stats show some areas are unsafe. Not that being out late, in a car no less, is unsafe per se.
You can appeal to facts and being as rational as you want, but people leave because of how they feel.
What is the concern?

Is it that the training corpus may contain private info? I think that's pretty valid, but what data is being used that isn't already publicly available? If private info is publicly available, then maybe we should put our effort into resolving that.

Is it that user dialogue prompts are being saved into the model (effectively saving them into the training corpus)? Is OpenAI being upfront about that, and clearly expressing the privacy implications to its users? If they are not, and we know it, then why do we need a "task force"?
That doesn't seem that bad to me for a Lisp.

Common Lisp / SBCL equivalent for me is 41MB.

Clojure überjar size for the same is 4.6MB.

There is a cost to having so much language ("all the language, all the time") available at different stages of the program lifecycle (macroexpand, compile, runtime, ...). Not sure if a Janet program can run eval, but it still has a garbage collector, etc.

Even a Go equivalent is 1.9MB.
It's part of the fun. Once you realize how much you can do within Emacs, it becomes really easy to fiddle.

That being said, I'm also one of those people that break my Emacs config often, and I have a different version on each PC I use.

Not every user is like this though! Many try to keep their setup as stable as possible.
while weird at first, I am reminded on the agencies focused on matching people with jobs. It's a bit similar I think! Reminds me a bit of the movie "the lobster"
I've been playing with Hachi this afternoon, as it's a more developed version of something I've been hacking around with on and off for a while, and there's little point is duplicating the effort. Thanks for the release - first impressions are very positive!

There are a couple of things I'd like to discuss/suggest, and also FWIW I get "Face Recognition not available" when I try that feature.

Should I use Github, or is there a better way to contact you?
It's not clear to me that he is confirmed to be the actual leaker and not just the owner of the group where the files were leaked.
They won't. Sage.

Setting aside the label, this does appear to potentially have been a crime of passion, which has specific legal consequences.

Yeah, that was a bit much.
The old boys club which has been outsourcing programmer for 20 years to India figured out that they can just fake it since nobody has complained yet.

And before software engineers unionize they came up with some snake oil to put us in our place, maybe try to force us back into offices, or just eliminate us.

Nobody can deny that Sam Altman and Bill Gates have been trying to "reduce costs" for a long time. The startups with devs in portugal, costa rica, Mexico, Spain, the Ukraine, India, China, anyplace where they can pay 5 dollars for a day's work.

When Bill gates said he would pay programmers 7 dollars an hour, we were all offended, we didn't realize that he was already doing it and that would be a significant raise in pay.
Essential Updates from Google Search Ads Week 2023
Google’s ad business is one of its most significant revenue drivers. This is why, among the numerous updates the tech company revealed during Search Ads Week 2023, a relatively important one is related to the launch of its new ad transparency center.
I think that says more about Hacker News than SF. There's a level of hate for the city here that I don't understand. Feels a bit like a vendetta sometimes.
The dirty not-so-secret about national defense apparatus in this country is that there are thousands of people in these various sub-sub-wings of our military along side mediocre contractors cashing in on defense contracts who go through rudimentary security clearance checks and have access to all this information.

I grew up outside DC and every so often you hear of the security clearance spooks interviewing you or someone you know about some jamoke you went to high school with to determine if they're a security risk. They also ask those people really difficult questions, like, "Would you use drugs at work?" "If you did, would you download illegal documents?" "If you did get high at work and download illegal documents, would you post them on Myspace?" About half of the people actually fail to answer those questions in the expected way. The other half make 200,000 dollars a year from a subcontractor of a subcontractor of Northrop Grumman pushing paper at a desk all year.

It's a national disgrace.
Do you really expect the richest man in the world to miss payments? He has enough money to buy Twitter 4 more times
The suicide cults of the '90s say otherwise and have a lot in common with the ivermectin overdoses following people old enough to know better doing stupid stuff they read about on the internet.
My guess at your tone is smugness, but please know that these are totally different things. As the article hints, there are significant costs to limiting distribution. They don't do the problem justice in the slightest.

When you restrict access to this stuff, you do it by creating a registration list that inevitably takes weeks to get on, because someone at the requesting command has to get three people, one of whom is probably out for a few weeks, to approve the request and then approve it at the controlling command in a similar process. If you're lucky, the systems are all working and that's all the wait there is, but a person can easily spend dozens of hours of work getting to the point where he can wait several weeks for access. Repeat that excessively, and people just stop using the best intel because it's a pain. Repeat that for a few years and no one at the command even remembers where to get good intel, if they even recall its existence.

Cross-org collaboration is a fragile beast in the absence of sales, marketing, profits, etc.

At its heart, this most recent problem of insider attack is the same problem as Snowden, and most people reject outright the idea that Snowden was wrong.

Anyway, I liked being able to read these; it was nice while it lasted.
Remember how Microsoft was flailing for what seemed like forever under Ballmer, and now in what still feels to me like a relatively short period of time under Nadella, they seem to be thriving again? Yeah... leadership actually matters a lot...
As much as I don't like SF's progressive politics, the data showed that the recalled SF DA Boudin didn't charge less on murders or narcotics: https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/We-obtained-never-.... Boudin did charge less on theft and burglary.

Not to pick a nit, but "retrenchment" means reduction. I think the word you meant was "entrenchment". Otherwise, I agree with your statement entirely.
Both of your answers in this thread are great, but it doesn't sound like what behdad was looking for. I think the unfortunate reality is that you're supposed to try to figure out what he wants to hear, which is that his answer is the most correct one in his mind to this awesome question that's so great he violates his company's rules in order to keep asking it. This just lead to cheating, where a smart person with connections learns from a friend what behdad wants to hear, and is able to give it to him, while people who don't have these connections give a more correct answer like yours and get rejected.
Concept artist is basically the idea generator. They quickly paint a bunch of loose ideas and present them to art director and rest of the team for discussion. None of their art makes in into final product. I could see concept art as being disrupted by generative models.
How about arresting them for the crimes they commit. That's more than enough.
I'm really not clear what you're asking, so all I can say is that nice round numbers are usually a ballpark estimate, while more precise figures suggest some actual calculations were involved. To be a bit technical: if there's only 1 significant figure, then you should take the number with a fair amount of salt.

Unfortunately social rules like this usually aren't well documented. It's mostly a statistics thing: very few calculations produce an exactly even result, so more often than not someone has rounded things off.

If you want to get really fancy you can start using context and tone to further infer whether someone is throwing out a ballpark estimate or a precise number, but that's well beyond the scope of a HN comment
Churches, especially culty ones, have been arranging social events for young adults for ages. It’s easier to expand by getting your membership to have children with each other than by recruiting.

Just because their motives are self centered doesn’t mean that they haven’t dialed in aspects of human nature that can be leveraged for a greater cause.
I was going off the 2010 date but you could be right. I didn't mean to jump to conclusions; just seems like I'm missing some details that leads to the author's convictions. Probably I'm missing the police portrayals mentioned in the article.
SF is safer than many of its peers, but some people seem to really want to paint the city as a failure. "Rampant crime" is one obvious way to do that. Over time the narrative leaks into the broader consciousness.

Chicago deals with the same.

I feel pretty confident that some of this is astroturfing from people with political ideologies trying to score points on blue states, but it seems to be quite effective however it is accomplished. People can be quick to scare, and appeals to their sense of personal safety are quite powerful.
In a bunch of key ways Haskell is closer to the machine than modern languages like JavaScript: it doesn't depend on a complicated JIT system at runtime, it lets you explicitly control details like boxing and unboxing, it exposes various low-level C and machine types (fixed-size ints/etc), it has primops for SIMD...

You can write relatively low-level Haskell a lot more easily than you can write low-level JavaScript. You just don't have to.
A bad fuel injector should usually be a reason to stop driving. Depending on the type of damage it would likely damage the piston and/or cylinder fairly quickly if you attempted to keep running it.
Why would management care? Ads, the entire point of google as a business, will continue making gobs of money no matter what. The point of these toy side projects is to entertain developers in between "track users more" and "Show users more ads" tickets.
What causes the almost visceral hostility among so many of us towards misleading, exaggerated and overblown rhetoric?

I was considering making an app to create hyperlapse from a GPX file to visualise a route. But mapping 100km would cost $14 with a shot every 50m.
Even if I could justify this cost for a very specific trip, there is no way on earth I could make a business out of that.
Why is it so expensive?
I think Google is leaving a ton of money on the table.

"burn them at the stake" vibes
This makes more sense than some Cold War spy thriller story.

The amount of times people leaked classified information to win an argument on the Warthunder forums and discord alone proves that intelligence agencies have nothing on borderline teens that want to score points on the internet.
Build a program that goes through all your files and creates a summary for each of your files.

Then create embeddings and put them in a vector database. now use it as a front end to talk to your files. assuming you can't use one of the local LLMs.

and your browser book marks.
Yep. Just wrote this today to prettify all the tables in a Markdown file:

I'd have no idea how to do this in vim!
The shortage of AA missiles (especially S-300) is very problematic for Ukraine, and Russia does not have any known shortage of AA missiles.
Very nice! It seems the "expert toggle" might not respect history? Looking back at my query from yesterday, the UI implies Expert mode was enabled, but I bet it wasn't when I first ran it.

Thanks for a great tool.
Evolution is not optimizing for your personal happiness. There are some species that are virtually immortal [0] and even they can reproduce sexually.

It’s just better for you to die. Your DNA sucks, make room for your superiors (your children).

I jest, but dying is the smart choice. It’s like a giant AGI system letting a few of its minor instances being cut off: no problem, we’ll fork a few new ones. They might even be better.

I'm in the same boat - I've used it almost daily for 7ish years at this point. It's so much fun to use and customize, but there are easier options out there.

When people find out I use Emacs I always caution them against using it. It's taken me a long, long time to be productive in Emacs. VSCode, JetBrains tools, etc. don't have the same requirement and start up time to productivity.

Buying into Emacs does give you a lot though! Emacs way of splitting panels, going through buffers, going through files, always feel better than other applications for me.
If outcome is your goal, then why continue the overhead of inter-human dialogue?
I'm in the exact same boat. Haskell code feels more like abstract maths and I feel more at home when I can just easily track the data flow. The language and community uses relatively abstract terminology due to its roots and it's just a bit too cryptic to me.

Though I'm glad newer languages are starting to adopt more features from the functional territory for the situations where it just makes more sense.
The AI Joe Rogan might deny it. Also waffles are space aliens and the moon is flat.

I use it thru poe.com mostly to write gamedev utilities like math functions, editor plugins and shaders. It gets it right about 50% of the time, but can also provide a starting point and even solved several errors it made with console feedback. Also created a huge design document with quests, mechanics, dialogs and so on which is pretty non-trivial unless you are a very skilled and creative designer. I'm implementing this game.

Current LLM's are broken shovels, their creators sell them for others to dig the gold.

These days even binary instructions ignore the reality of the physical hardware, as far as I know (I make a javascript lol). The output of e.g. assembler is an instruction set for a virtual machine that doesn't exist, that the CPU translates into actual execution. At least on the intel superscalar side, ARM may be a simpler setup.
Part of releasing AWS products to customers involves getting cleared by AppSec plus other compliance teams. The products are supposed to be ready months in advance before the AppSec and other teams start working on them.
