I had a severe pain in my neck (cervical spondylosis) for 2 years radiating to my arms and head. At a point, I started getting black outs and random head tingling, driving me crazy. I consulted an Ayurvedic doctor & applied a medicated oil with daily sun exposure for an hour. The pain became manageable after 6 months. I have a livable/bearable pain for the last 10 years - but it no longer bothers me much. The oil saved my mind. I can share more details if anyone is interested (email in profile).

So, you're saying don't solve any of these problems because it's all too hard?
Thinking out loud here. On the one hand, I find this a persuasive argument. It is similar to the argument against NGOs operating in other countries that don't involve the local population in their assistance.

On the other hand, it also sounds like the arguments used during welfare reform and an argument against direct cash assistance.

So... I don't know how I feel about it. One could argue that Carnegie's wealth was itself a failure of good governance and that these rules he made about giving away that wealth are paternalistic.
Those are two broad classifications.

Any two broad classifications will have some overlap. I don’t think you’ve demonstrated that this overlap is any bigger than with any other random classification (hair color, height, type of car they drive , etc.).
People like to fantasize about “The Orient” when reading topics like those, but the problem is the same across the whole globalized society. We may ask why it became so pronounced in Asia, or we may have a realization that this is the actual future everyone's heading, but it's certainly not some “traditional” thing (unless, of course, there was a tradition like that I have no idea about).
Given the slow down in tech hiring, how would that slow down in illustrator hiring be compared to slowdowns in dev hiring? Interest rates going up put a damper on tech hiring in the states, and China could be going through something similar?
Agreed! It was really disgusting how everyone immediately turned the news of his passing into political posts designed to trash the entire city of San Francisco, when it was obviously too soon for anyone to know the full story behind his unfortunate death.

I think this question deserves a separate thread:

Is it possible to see some working examples with some of the big SSO providers, e.g. integrating with Okta, Duo and AD installations in particular (like Azure AD and standard ActiveDirectory) in the documentation?

This would go a long way for smaller app developers to get SSO into their apps, even if the examples aren't exhaustive its a starting point. I have found (having done SSO integrations before) that it can be really opaque sometimes reading their API documentation to add support to for such platforms.

I mention AD specifically because its a huge hurdle for the education markets still, for example

Pedantic comment: USA doesn’t use the imperial system, that was Britain. USA has used the “United States Customary Units” since 1832. Since 1893 the units have been defined in terms of metric.

Since 1991 the rule has been to “prefer metric units”, which I guess is why all packaging you commonly see includes measurements in both systems.

asking NPR to be patient while elmu abuses and insults them is like asking an abused spouse to just stick around in case their abuser with a history of abuse & gaslighting suddenly and inexplicably cleans up their act

at the very least, twitter & elmu have to understand their actions were wrong and show conciliation for wronging them – if they're incapable of that bare minimum, there's obviously no hope of them cleaning up their act
That goes without saying. Unfortunately, it is a on-going trend to see many startups celebrating losing hundreds of millions of dollars in operational costs, credits and headcount and constantly begging to VCs for another top up.

This over reliance on VC cash really has got to stop and the focus should *always* be profit for a business, not throwing money away and raising VC cash every month.
Warning this is all my opinion and one should use their own judgement.

Apple's whole identity system is basically kerberos+ldap. This is how Apple deals with identity and authentication. Apple has made recent announcements at handing this management to the user. This is how Apple will open up the App Store. There will be a status quo set-up and an open set-up. The status quo will be for those who could give a flying flip about all the freedom people claim they are missing out on. The open set-up will let the identity owner share their keys with anyone they one want. Apple can use all sorts of alerts and lock down all of data held by Apple and the user can create and share keys with whoever they want without providing unintended data access held by Apple. Facebook users will create keys to use with their iOS device and and that will be the point that FB can start to collect data. The only thing this is based on is my Sysadmining Macs since about 1989.

Yeah, but it does seem like they're doing so only in order to justify their decision on NPR. They gave NPR the label in response to a critical article from NPR, even while NPR was explicitly listed as an organisation this label didn't apply to. Since then, they've been scrambling to change rules and texts to justify a decision that was clearly made out of revenge.
Or „transsex“ if there's such English word? Word „translytis“ is used specifically for those who attempted transitioning man<->woman.
I don’t share your disdain for the average person, and I don’t see ChatGPT replacing people on a huge scale. it’s a helpful productivity tool, but the I don’t see that it will replace huge amounts of jobs. I worry more about autonomous driving when it comes to AIs replacing humans. A LOT of people drive trucks, Uber’s, taxis, buses, etc.

It’s perhaps more useful in my field than most (software) since the output is often highly structured text. But using it daily, it doesn’t even make me 2x more productive. A big deal, yes. Going to take my job, no. Going to lower salaries and reduce demand? Doubtful.

We’ve lived through massive disruptions already, computers and the internet are some examples. It wasn’t cause for panic.
It's something I've heard and read many times, inside and outside of the company, but it's something I haven't really witnessed in my 4 years here.

I don't think the FSF is healthy.

The evidence can be had right here. About the only thing you hear about the FSF these days is controversy about Stallman and the peripheral issues about that. The FSF should be huge, and have a very prominent impact on the relevant parts of the industry, like say HN, various subreddits and slashdot. Instead it barely shows up anywhere.

If the FSF isn't prominent in its home turf, then things are even more dire anywhere outside it. A movement that wants to fight for user freedom has to somehow reach those users. Problem is, these days they barely know that it exists, and what they do hear about is all unflattering (eg, Stallman).

The FSF has a very tough mission to accomplish. Gathering a few like-minded people at a Linux conference is certainly a good thing, but comes very far from wielding the political influence needed to actually get things done.

Worse, even on its own home turf it's losing relevance. The FSF should be aggressively keeping up with modern developments and reacting to them, and finding ways to spread its message. But it seems woefully out of date in that respect.

Which is a shame. I'd really like to see more done in procedural generation and reactive content. Just read about a mod for CyberPunk where killing certain characters can effect the stockmarket. It would be cool to see all the NPCs become agents. It also means that after say 40 hour already your game world would become unique and unlike any other.

This seems like a bit of a reach. "Move fast and break things" to me means take risks, don't get bogged down in process or do the same thing everyone else is doing. I don't see how you get from that to stabbing people. Your other quote is nice but it's a bit silly to apply it to a literal stabbing.
It’s impossible to go back in time and tell, but I bet lots of companies were opting for Microsoft Exchange/Web Outlook around 2007-2008, because Gmail was advertised as beta.

It’s a fine line to walk: you want to iterate quickly on one hand but some users need stability on the other.

Ask HN: How to run NER in batch with ChatGPT?
Named entity recognition (NER) is usually the basis of transforming unstructured data (text) into structured data (say, in JSON format).
The current best approach for NER in ChatGPT is few-shot-learning, where we give a few examples and asks for it to solve ONE instance of the task.
The problem with this approach is the cost. We need to use a lot of tokens from examples in order to predict a single instance.
I'm trying to overcome this issue by giving more than one instance for prediction. Something like this:

```
<instruction>
<1 - example>
<2 - example>
<3 - new instance>
<4 - new instance>

<answer for 1>
<answer for 2>
```

Wishing the generator to predict answers for instances 3 and 4.

From my experience, results are worst than predicting a single instance.

Does anyone have better results in this task?

Thanks!

$20k for 10 weeks of work seems like a good deal. It’s only 10 weeks so you can’t just quit your job; but if you are in between jobs, can go on leave, or (most likely case) work part-time and just don’t get paid enough, it’s a big help. And it’s certainly better than nothing which is what most OSS devs get unfortunately

For many syscalls, the primary overhead is the transition itself, not the work the kernel does. So doing 50 operations one by one may take, say, 10x as much time as a single call to io_uring_enter for the same work. It really shouldn't be just moving latency around unless you are doing very large data copies (or similar) out of the kernel such that syscall overhead becomes mostly irrelevant. If syscall overhead is irrelevant in your app and you aren't doing an actual asynchronous kernel operation, then you may as well use the regular syscall interface.

There are certainly applications that don't benefit from io_uring, but I suspect these are not the norm.

From [1]: "What is a Foundation Model"
In recent years, a new successful paradigm for building AI systems has emerged: Train one model on a huge amount of data and adapt it to many applications. We call such a model a foundation model.

From their big paper [2] "A foundation model is any model that is trained on broad data (generally using self-supervision at scale) that can be adapted (e.g., fine-tuned) to a wide range of downstream tasks; current examples include BERT [Devlin et al.2019], GPT-3 [Brown et al. 2020], and CLIP [Radford et al. 2021]."

As the news media and twitterverse peddled the whole "crime-ridden SF" angle, I felt myself getting drawn into the same topic and agreeing with numerous friends on how much the city has declined. This is a good reminder of how we gravitate towards powerful emotional narratives, which in the moment can feel absolutely true despite an utter lack of supporting facts on an individual murder case.

This is getting away from the original point. If you associate with a nazi then yes I believe you are guilty by association. There is no coexisting with a belief that doesn't believe you have the right to exist in the first place. If you believe that communism is in the same lane then feel free to throw them in the bin as well.

I bet there where not many demonstrations in Finland.

It will take Germany 40 years just to find a site. And then the demonstrations start.
I think the real question is whether you need a hosted solution like Pinecone, etc, or whether you can run a library yourself (like FAISS). The latter won't cost as much, and is pretty simple to get up and running, but may not scale the same way.

Your loved ones that died by the end of this year won't represent well.

If they lived a full life, they might have accumulated a minimal set of training material, they weren't a digital native.

If they died young, there will be a lot of their on-line persona as a digital native, but how many people have the same persona on-line and off-line?

Meanwhile, upload enough of those training sets, and AI will populate many wealthy suburbs' worth of fake people based on them.

I love this idea in principle, but when our school ran something similar to connect grad students who didn't have the opportunity to socialize due to covid remote work, I got a feeling some of them just showed up for the free coffee (we did free coffee chats instead of meals) and just weren't that interested in the social aspect.
Sorry for the people there, hope they get by. But the way we are treating this world, FL may have a 1 on 20 million year flooding event in about 100 years.

I have many friends who moved down to FL and bought a house. They love it there but when they ask me to move I say no-way. First I like winter and the other I think buying property there is like tossing $ out the window. I believe your heirs (children) will not benefit from your investment.

Nope, that doesn't stop models from being trained on your art. It makes it somewhat more difficult for people to prompt specifically for your style, but your art still influences output, and there may be other ways (e.g., titles of specific works) to deliberately and specifically evoke it in particular.

It seems like the next major stepping stone in FOSS will have to be the replacement of proprietary blobs for hardware drivers by open source alternatives, and that in turn is most likely to come out of the RISC-V ecosystem, not from anything related to Intel or ARM.
