Why does it have to make sense? kids (and a 21 year-old is certainly not a full-grown adult) do stupid things all the time.

For example, as James Zhong claimed[0]:

>He recalled converting some of his Bitcoin into $700,000 in cash. He stated he did this so that he would have a “case full of money like in the movies.” He hoped the visual appeal of the cash would impress a female into having sexual relations with him. He stated his plan did not work.

Maybe this kid did it to impress his Discord buddies? Maybe he did it for shits & giggles. Presumably, we'll find out more as time goes by.

>despite being Portuguese (based on his last name)

My last name is English, but I'm not from England. I was born in the US, the child of an American citizen too. How could that possibly happen?

I've met at least half a dozen native-born Americans with the name 'Teixeira'. Why do you assume he's a foreign national? By that logic, this guy[1] must be a "furriner" too, eh?

> JessicaTegner/pypandoc Pypandoc provides a thin wrapper for pandoc, a universal document converter.

To be frank, that doesn’t seem like a project worthy of $20k to me. Not very many commits recently [0], it has 918 source lines of code in the main package, and 547 lines of test code — it even describes itself as a “thin” wrapper, and the only thing it does is converting some arguments to Pandoc flags and calling the Pandoc executable. How many more features could be added to this project? What is it missing now?

Indeed - to use proprietary software is to suffer, but you can still let it into your life and be 'net-positive in freedom' both for yourself and for others. I'm very grateful to those behind the FOSS applications that I use for making the personal sacrifices necessary to develop them for everyone.
I ended up putting arrow keys in my 60%, which shifted the layout (PCB limitations) to where I ended up having to sacrifice my / and ? for a shift key (to fit the empty space). So I ended up having to do something similar. Holding it down and pressing other keys makes it function as a shift. Clicking it by itself yields a period, and clicking it by itself with the other shift does a question mark. QMK is freaking awesome.

It'd be cool if there was a button that pre-populated your login page with those test credentials.

I don't know much about LLMs honestly. Guess I'm living under a rock haha. What's an example use case for this?
Can hammerspoon be used to accomplish this same effect?
I wonder how many of the negative comments are by people who are actually living or have actually lived in SF? And not, say, down in SV.

I wonder the same about Seattle. How many commenters are speaking from Redmond or Kirkland or Bellevue etc instead of the city?
Almost all Google APIs that have any kind of visualization component that runs on the client (for example, an embedded, pannable Google map with things drawn on it) require you shipping your API key in your clients.

They have some safeguards e.g. HTTP referrer restrictions but it's not bulletproof.
>> The poster-to-moderator ratio was WAY lower than somewhere like Facebook or Twitter, and things got handled faster.

But, honestly and genuinely asking here: isn't that exacly what happens when all you think is about scale, money and growth, at all costs? (I mean, on the big social networks side)
Haskell's abstractions build on the inherently stateful nature of computers – how do you think Haskell compilers do their job?

(Not to mention that Haskell and its base libraries have plenty of abstractions useful also for the programmer to deal with the inherently stateful nature of computers, e.g. the IO type, STM, State (it's in the name!), Channels, etc.)

Journalists don't always work off of public statements.
I've used emacs for 25+ years. I was never into LISP; I just really liked the interface. And muscle memory goes deep.

Two months ago I switched to VSCode. The "Awesome Emacs Keymap" extension by Yuichiro Tachibana made it possible:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tuttieee...

It's not 100% perfect, but close enough. I'm quite enjoying using VSCode now. It's fantastic having a wealth of actually user-friendly features/extensions to choose from.

VSCode is so annoyingly cluttered/blinking/animating/popup-infested by default though. There are a lot of things to disable in the default config.
Maybe to avoid looking biased? Github already puts a lot of money towards ruby.

If we are being pedantic, transformers operate on integer vectors, and in the process turn them into high dimensional matrices.
The reason newspapers shifted away from being core is because there were other communication media to replace them. There aren't such replacements for the Internet.
If a company wants to dictate the software that its employees use, then it's the company's moral responsibility to provide hardware to run that software on. Not a chance in hell that I'm installing random spyware on my personal machines just to send an IM to my boss.
In Germany it's not public, nor are you allowed to publish the name of a person arrested. This is to protect the individual's privacy and shield them from public retribution and prejudice, which I think is a far more enlightened stance.

In America, the stigma of an arrest follows you for the rest of your life.
Cite studies (real ones, not popular science opinion pieces) or I call BS on this claim. The academic world is more aware than anyone how little this is "AI" and how far from even a whiff of AGI this is. Even if the question of "can we argue that the outward appearance of conversational intelligence implies actual intelligence" is one that by definition should be discussed in science philosophy context, now more than ever before, and can get you "easy" funding/grant money to publish papers on.
I have no such chair or large screen. I hate the whole TV experience.

OMG I owe me pushing my career to the next level due to Pavlo's course! There's so many technical interviews where I've impressed my interviewer with explaining low-level details of how databases do things. Don't be fooled by the course name though, it's pretty rigorous but so rewarding and practical (especially if you are a data engineer). I give this course an A+ for teaching me about B+ trees in C++ :D
My original degree was in Math and I can definitely 'feel' a difference when reading Haskell vs other languages.

Writing/Reading Haskell gives me a similar feeling to doing proofs than programming.

Even other functional programming languages don't give me that 'in the math class' feeling that Haskell does.
This isn't a new issue. Image and likeness laws exist for a reason.

A more clear example on how this could be harmful, and how we are already equipped to deal with this - I saw an ad for a supplement that had a convincing AI Joe Rogan "talking about it on his podcast" and how it's the greatest thing that everyone needs to buy. This is illegal currently, and it's not any different from hiring a Joe Rogan impersonator to talk in a similar looking podcast set to trick people. It's why we have systems to enforce ownership over trademarks, copyrights, and your own image.
Hey HN! I'm very proud to release the deepest interview deep dive into the SAM model I can find on the Internet (seriously - i looked on youtube and listennotes and all of them were pretty superficial). the Roboflow team has spent the past week hacking on and building with SAM and I ran into Joseph Nelson this weekend and realized he might be the perfect non-Meta-AI person to discuss what it means for developers building with SAM.

so.. enjoy! worked really hard on the prep and editing, any feedback and suggestions/recommendations welcome. still new to AI and new to the podcast game.

edit: Video demo is here in case people miss it

> I don't think we are smarter than evolution, in this regard.

Evolution has two things over us: it has infinite time, and infinite resources. It can afford to wait 200000 years, and to kill millions of individuals, to produce a change.

That's impressive, but it is also the opposite of smart.
Wouldn't deprived people have that in common. Seems like a good way to make friends.

Oh man. I'm embarrassed to say I've been using emacs for almost 40 years and it probably accounts for 80% of my screen time.

I wonder how many people know emacs predates gnu-emacs? I remember being skeptical of open source until I saw what gnu emacs could do. Then I got slightly more skeptical when I looked at the code ;-)
You are hearing portions that you want to hear. Yes, he did not necessarily want seasoned professionals, but you missed the bit before that: "we wanted people that were insanely great at what they did...." Steve Jobs did not build insanely great products by hiring morons.

Also: "Leadership is having a vision, being able to articulate that so that people around you can understand it, and getting a consensus on a common vision".
Cool project. Would love to integrate this in Packj [1] as one of the open-source SAST scanners. Will DM you.

It's not in the tech circle news, but this murder happened literally days after Hindenburg Research released a very long article on money laundering and widespread fraud at Block (CashApp's parent company). Apparently the app is widely used to launder drug money.

Not saying that's related, but you would have to investigate that angle in a murder.
turns out she was simultaneously really proud of her work and interests, while also wanting that kind of relationship

like it wasn't "I can cook, and clean, shoutout to the patriarchy!"

it was "my friend is a chef and I love helping her with her clients", "I love making jewelry but I found my flow state the most in sewing!" just like, oh ok, what a coincidence. whats behind door number 3? cleaning! wow.

but then I was like, you know what? its refreshing. I could enjoy that choice, my amusement had only come from being around women that spend a lot of energy making their whole identity about being something less refreshing. Going as far as to denigrate anyone that requests or chooses traditional roles. That’s the opposite of choice.
You'll need to replace your kubernator!
No. You need to run code in the context of the process you want to full-screen, Hammerspoon can't do that. HS can only use the Accessibility API to modify some attributes of the windows.
Your link is a about a bitcoin case, so unless I missed something this guy wasn't doing it for money (I don't condone it, but money is a reasonable motive for committing a crime).

I kind of expect things to go the way Peter Watts prophesied in the Behemoth trilogy - the Internet becomes infested with self-replicating spambot-descendants to the point that an open, global network becomes untenable.

While it would be intractable to upend the status quo of about 0.5% of American adults using that access to get things done day-to-day, there's a lot that could be improved just by compartmentalizing that access and monitoring it.

It's one thing for an IT admin on a Massachusetts national guard post to get access to a few local secrets. It's another when he's downloading hundreds of documents unrelated to his duties on a war thousands of miles away.

Your average file share or web server for a medium-sized corporation with a negligible amount of confidential data probably has that level of monitoring, it's not particularly surprising that the slower-moving military doesn't yet but it probably should.

Yeah I adore picking at my config to solve some small issue. Or implement a cool feature or customization.

I don't really use Emacs for the editor! It's more because it's a very configurable language runtime/vm with an editor interface.

And org-mode is great too.
there are multiple concerns, of varying validity, at least:

* ChatGPT claims to be 13+ only, but does not actually check that

* data got leaked across prompts, which is probably bad

* OpenAI is not clear/upfront enough on what it does with your own input

* ChatGPT manipulates, in some sense, personal information, but does not provide a way for those impacted to edit/delete it (which might be hard/impossible, but that does not change the effect on someone who gets impacted by it)
Urban Buildings were important before WWII firebombing.

I don't think it would be progress to abandon cities because someone figured out how to destroy them.

If you don't think Meta makes money from the WhatsApp user contact network and linking that data to their other data sets, you are most certainly mistaken. There's tons of money in it, even now, before they start adding new privacy compromising features.

It still doesn't exist in many parts of the world. Most of Middle East is extremely conservative when it comes to women's rights. In Greece, if a woman wants to visit a monastery she has to wear long skirt to avoid scandalizing the monks. I'm sure similar rules apply to religious establishments all over the world.
I haven't used Janet but there were some notes in the author's ebook (https://janet.guide/) that suggested it had some small but key differences with a more "traditional" Lisp that might trip you up or at least cause friction. I'd suggest using Racket for those books.

Here's a good explanation of why perceived crime increased at the same time as total crime decreased in SF with COVID. TLDR: the number of crimes decreased, but the total number of people out-and-about decreased even more. The result is if you went out-and-about you were more likely to experience a crime.

> The EV charger breaking is not even something I had remotely considered

Neither had I. No stores around me had a physical charger in stock, and the ones I could find online were a couple hundred more than I was looking to spend. I ordered a replacement through the dealer - I figured I didn't want any compatibility problems - but if I had known it was going to take 3 weeks - perhaps Amazon could overnight an expensive charger a lot quicker, it would have been worth it.

Banana Turboboot: a major decrease in cold boots for Serverless GPUs
It’s amazing how much Russiagate has rotted peoples brains that they even considered “Russia” as a suspect. As if the motives/outcomes of the disclosure align with their interests whatsoever, not to mention the Discord origin. Newsflash: if it were Russia, they would have just kept it quiet and killed the moles.
Sounds like he made a few claims: 1) "An introverted woman will still get approached by men", 2) "Introverted men, on the other hand, often just don't pursue women, especially if they have low testosterone (or sex drive) as the OP probably does", 3) "In most cultures men are expected to do the initial approach", 4) "introverted men are often very bad at reading women's signals", 5) "women just don't need to signal that much to get results".

1, 3 and 5 feel like super common sense to me, were you asking for sources on that? I'm asking mostly because I wonder whether my intuition is completely off when it comes to these things, or if there are people who live in completely different realities where women are expected to make the first step, more women approach men than the opposite and men really don't need to signal interest because they get so many offers.
I just read this a couple weeks ago, it's called The Real Reason South Koreans Aren't Having Babies. If this article is accurate, I doubt a small subsidy is going to change things. It kind of feels like the gender wars have gotten out of control over there on both sides.

Agree but with a different solution: the focus on partners is unsustainable and doesn't address a lot of the deeper rooted issues that caused their lack of socialization. It also creates a codependency, which can result in an unhealthy relationship or really devastating outcomes when the relationship ends. It basically "fixes" the problem for society but leaves individuals incredibly vulnerable.

Ideally, you would instead focus on getting them to join communities and groups. Which can be challenging, and it's also something the average person should do more. This will give them a proper support system to then take next steps on finding partners, and likely have better results from those attempts when their support system is greater than 1.

Younger people recognize this importance of community, they're joining discords they're going to meetups, they're desperately trying to connect with others but without a systemic encouragement of these groups and communities most of them struggle - the convenience of "everything online and text-based" is just too great.

Additionally, by focusing on communities over partners, you also help the average person which iirc tends to have a small friend group of around 3 people, and not at all the varied support groups we need as humans. I reckon also these friends aren't all that profound, but rather a coworker you don't mind biking with, a neighbor who likes the same sports you do, etc. This is likely also why polarization is increasing, if you don't have communities to turn to and talk things out/solve problems together, it's very easy to just start believing the most extreme takes online.
William Gibson's /Idoru/ runs with this concept but, somewhat counterproductively in this context, as a virtual version of the old Kowloon Walled City "in" Hong Kong, where hikikomori socialize, strategize about shared goals, wheel and deal, etc.

Yes, you're right. I failed to keep a full perspective when I wrote that. I won't defend that.

I do feel it's significant that it took about a month from the sharing on that minecraft server for these leaks to be recognized. I'm surprised no one on the server flagged it, or it wasn't picked up by some intelligence program. That's where my shock came from. It feels like a deeper problem. Maybe I'm naive in believing the military/intelligence community didn't know before this news broke.
Different tech has different needs. I can see it being really great with server side distributed systems. I don’t really see it having any benefit for running stuff in resource constrained single purpose environments
There is a difference between an app ID and a secret. A secret is something that can be used to impersonate you or your app towards a 3rd party service if leaked.

3rd party log-in SDKs using OpenID connect can work entirely without client-side secrets using only your app IDs. Crash logging and analytics services API keys are also usually considered to be app IDs, not secrets.

Wonder if they paid the ransom
It’s not about the money being meaningful or not, it’s the fact that the organization was initially labeled as “state-affiliated media” which is blatantly false, going by the common meaning of the term. As I understand it (I don’t use Twitter) the label was later revised to “government-funded media” which is probably correct, but is IMHO a meaningless designation designed to sow distrust. I’m willing to bet every single media organization in the country benefits from government funding somehow.

The real issue (and the purpose of the label, at least before it was corrupted by Musk) is whether the government has editorial control over the journalism, which they clearly don’t for NPR.

Calling NPR “the enemy of the people” is some Orwellian-level bullshit.
