To your response, the model says:

> Dear [Name],

> Thank you for your message. We understand that the model you are referring to is a simple and basic model. However, it is important to highlight that this model serves a specific purpose and can be useful for certain applications.

> Regarding the comparison with larger models like GPT, it's important to note that different models have different strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of model depends on the specific task and use case. While larger models like GPT may be more powerful and capable, they also come with greater computational and memory requirements.

> We appreciate your concerns and feedback, and we will take them into consideration as we continue to develop our models. Our aim is to provide solutions that are tailored to the needs of our clients and meet their requirements for accuracy, efficiency, and performance.

> Thank you for your input, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.

> Best regards,

Back to your response, so you did notice that I said they are not as powerful as GPT-4, of course they are not, not a single one is.

The model is not developed by us, and their performance is not our current focus either (nor am I an expert in this evaluation), but I am happy to assist if anyone wants to seriously evaluate it!
Why do HN users post retro articles?
I'm really not sure why HN users post retro articles like just for example, what Bill Gates thought about iTunes licensing.

This history is so well known, just like the antitrust case where there is video recorded testimony from both parties.

Do HN readers have short memories or are they just finding detritus on the web that they think is clever?

It's a little baffling and sort of self aggrandizing.
I think at that stage the fish cared about cancer no more.
I don't know another distribution of Linux that provides all these things to the extent Red Hat

Oracle would technically be another one. They will even sell you Oracle Hardware (or Oracle cloud) to run your Oracle Linux. Of course there are many good reasons not to want to use Oracle for this.

I run a few small bots. The most important was probably @nz_quake that just tweets about New Zealand earthquakes.

They all broke about a week ago. I was using a command line twitter client to post and that broke with the new API changes. The author abandoned it so had to find some other way to post.

As a temp measure I got a free IFTTT that came with one twitter account hook. However longer term I've got to sort out my developer's account and then write some code to authenticate and allow everything to post.

There are a lot of "bots" out there (even Elon follows a few) providing automatically posted content.

This is not about copyright but about the OpenAI terms of use that you agree to when you use ChatGPT or the API, which forbids using the output to build «competing models».
So what you're saying is that it's evidence of illegal intent to use these systems for any conversations that a company could reasonably be expected to keep more permanent records of otherwise? Because as far as I'm aware the usual answer to "we can't make this technology comply with the laws and regulations for doing these things" is "then you can't use that technology for doing those things".

> The fact that people buy smart TVs in large numbers is proof of the fact that the privacy concerns are not a factor in the mass market's buying decisions.

It's not a proof of it at all.

People don't choose options from the abstract space of possible TVs. They choose from what's available. The vendors can and do set the range of choices people have, and there's shit all mass market can do about it. Literally everyone may hate it, but if the vendors don't offer an option that doesn't suck, and/or spend a lot of effort and money advertising the options that do suck, then people will buy it, and will hate it, because they don't have an actual choice here.
I tend to agree. In the last ten years or so, the TSA operations have markedly improved. I’m saying this as someone who flew 80k-100kmi/yr for the last 15yr.

People just share what they find interesting and not everyone here was paying attention when Bill Gates weighed in on iTunes licensing, some were to young and some just didn't care. Your post comes across as self aggrandizing but mostly because you brought up self aggrandizing, I probably would not have considered it if you did not mention it.
So you are saying a contractor working for a company outside of their country doesn’t have to pay income taxes. I think you found the best loophole ever /s

Obviously, being a contractor for a foreign company doesn’t excuse you from paying taxes. The same applies if you are employed except now you are employed illegally by a foreign company. The employee isn’t the only one who gets in trouble, fwiw. I worked for a 100% remote company and there were legal guides for being a nomad. If you didn’t follow the advice, it was grounds for immediate firing.

Some countries don’t care, some, like Italy, will arrest you in a heartbeat. And some, will just fine you for every day you “worked” (the US).

For the US, tax residency for the entire year is 33 days. If you are an expat, this is something you are acutely aware of, because you can lose your foreign income exclusion for 5 years if you go back for too long. For most other countries, it’s ~180 days to become a tax resident, but that usually only applies in certain situations (like in Europe, if you are a tax resident of another EU country) otherwise it is 0 days.

Why did it got removed? I've been wondering since a month ago and I haven't really got any info why it disappeared.
I rarely swear, but I am also never offended by swearing: I find that dumb. It's like being offended by impossible ill wishes ("I'll get you a one way ticket to the dark side of the moon").

I am offended if you are trying to say how I am eg. stupid, whether you use swearwords or not. I am usually more offended if you are attempting to use a "polite" language than if you are just swearing at me: it significates a bigger effort.

As such, I don't think swearing itself is dumb: it is language, a way of expressing oneself.

While it's true that swearing might offend a certain group of people (you mention older than 85 or religious people, though I'd certainly challenge that it's majority of them that are easily offended), I personally care more about the opinion of people who care about actions and message rather than the form. I am obviously not a politician looking for majority approval.

Also, it's nicer if children don't use swearing regularly, because it's only about challenging the authority with them, and not thinking through all the nuances of communication.
The majority of the data is a web crawl. It's not curated in the slightest and includes the whole of reddit.

In contrast the data we collect through our nervous system is rich and meaningful and far deeper than just raw text. We can even manipulate the environment as we learn to facilitate faster learning eg. pick up a ball and throw it, rather than just watch videos of balls being thrown.

I've stared at the comparison image between MacOS and Kitty and the only thing I can tell is that Kitty is displaying the colored text in a very different way - frankly, one that is harder to read on account of being lower contrast.

In plain English, can someone explain what's going on, and why anyone should care?
One might argue that Oracle also made this model work.

Not sure about their revenue between different divisions, but they finished open-sourcing even the last proprietary part of their JDK, making OpenJDK the reference implementation, plus they finance 90+% of all its commits. They make some revenue from selling OracleJDK licenses (and even most of those are free if you stay on the latest version) which includes support. Many of their customers are on older Java versions though, for example their Java 8 support is valid for something like 2030, so mostly government, big enterprises.

(For some reason though, there is just endless bullshit around Java, even though the exact same model/license is true for the Linux kernel)
Is the bird freed? A look back at six months of Musk’s Twitter reign
Not quite. One of Christie's appointed directors at the port authority closed the bridge. Later the port authority decided to reverse it's own decision.

The intro blurb skips the appointed director and attributes the closing of the bridge directly to Christie, but Christie acted through a crony at the Port Authority, as can be read further in the Wikipedia article.
Well it depends how it is moving. Think of a spinning axle that is featureless - does it appear to move? How about a featureless disc bike wheel that is spinning? And the Mills model of the electron "orbitsphere" is a spherical fluid shell of charge that is spinning along all great circle routes. The charge distribution is not changing but the charge is spinning.
You use about 2 SIMD instructions to compare 16 or 32 or 64 characters to whitespace, commas, and closing brackets, and one of these will be the character after the end of the integer literal. Theres no dependency between decoding the integer and tokenizing or decoding the next thing.

> Items within the traditional keychain can have ACLs applied to them. When you run `security dump -d`, it will only be able to dump items from a traditional keychain

Could it be that the Terminal has full access then? I've never been asked for a password, or had a restriction of any kind put on me, when using the `security` command. Those prompts you speak of are for the "Keychain Access" GUI, no?
The link about how he aborted the race is well worth reading. From Wikipedia:

Kanakuri pulled out midway through the race and was cared for by a local family. Embarrassed from his "failure", he silently returned to Japan without notifying race officials.

Although local newspapers at the time correctly reported that Kanakuri withdrew halfway through the race, the fact that Kanakuri had not officially reported back after doing so gave birth to humorous stories in Sweden about the supposedly lost Japanese runner.

In 1967, he was contacted by Swedish Television and offered the opportunity to complete his run. He accepted and completed the marathon, remarking,"Kanaguri of Japan is now in the goal. Time, 54 years and 8 months 6 days 5 hours 32 minutes 20 seconds 3, which will end the entire schedule of the 5th Stockholm Olympic Games," was announced. He commented "It was a long trip. Along the way, I got married, had six children and 10 grandchildren."
Gotta agree that it's really darn confusing as to what this thing actually does. Seems like a pretty big project that some talented people have poured a lot of time into, but what am I getting into here?

Does it (1) download archived urls already on archive.org locally? or (2) spider websites I choose from scratch and save them locally (or on archive.org??)

Totally unclear. These are very different things. Want to install and try it but also a little wary given the opacity of explanation about the basic functionality and purpose of the tool!

IANAL but my reading is that by transmitting chat messages you are generating potential evidence so discarding those is destruction of that potential evidence.

Presumably this does not apply to audio-visual real time communication as you're not transmitting entire messages but fragments in real time that don't convey any information by themselves. Sending back and forth recorded audio messages OTOH would presumably produce potential evidence. Sending each letter as it is typed presumably would not.

That said, usually these things are ruled based on the spirit of the law as much as the letter of the law so trying to game this by working around technicalities would likely be considered ... bad.
Perhaps today this is true.

In 2007 I was working for a webhostet / nascent iaas provider, and we had workloads doing exactly that.

“Leadership” is always getting in their own way with meaningless reporting and honestly it ruins software development for me. I want it to just be a hobby, but to start over from a career (and salary) perspective would be devastating financially.

The point of zero-trust is that you don't implicitly trust something, but instead re-evaluate its trustworthiness every time you have to make an access control decision. Trusting a device simply because it's on your VPN is equivalent to trusting a device simply because it's on your LAN, and this is absolutely not a zero-trust architecture.
Pop-up. Raw fish.
Just because something has a cost doesn't mean it's irreplacable or rare.

There's other things that cost alot on a vehicle, wheels and tires on an SUV cost more or about equal to the catalytic converter, so by design wheels and tires are from a supply and demand perspective more precious and rare than catalytic converters.

What thieves choose to steal has nothing to do with scarcity and everything to do with convenience. While these small amounts of precious metals may sound important rare earth metals are literally everywhere.

Were just too rich to care about mining them in the first world.
Another take: people are consistent - they want something to happen, but they don't want to make a big personal sacrifice that may, possibly, with a very little probability, actually make it happen, and that's only if almost everyone does it at the same time.

I.e. gamers are not dumb.

> Capitalism is a system of voting with wallets, so voting with speech has no bearing on what results come out of capitalism as you say.

Modern economy is a system set up in a way to force people to wallet-vote for specific classes of options, as it exploits the fact that most people are extremely price-sensitive by default, since the pool of votes they have is almost entirely spent on voting "yes I want to keep living in this apartment" and "yes I want me and my family to eat today". People will accept a lot of shit from the market, in order to not lose the vote for "my kids get to have a meal every day".

Looking at purchasing patterns of regular people and making inferences about their general preferences? It's even more idiotic than making a psychological study of students in your class, and generalizing the result to the whole population.
> Please be aware that some images may not load on this page unless your browser supports JPEG-XL.

Using an image format supported by exactly one browser - one that has less than 5% of the market share - without providing a fallback - is a pretty questionable choice.

I can't imagine that the bandwidth savings are even remotely significant to justify such a choice over an optimized PNG, JPEG, or the nearly-universally-supported webp.

You've never heard of steamed hams? Clearly you're not from Albany.
Just wanted to say this is similar to what I experienced the last time around: shit management decisions that cut corners everywhere and left us, the engineers, to take the blame for it and spend our time dealing with the constant fire fighting that resulted with no resources to actually prevent it from reoccurring.

I also felt useless, like it was my fault, like I suck, like I don’t ever want to do software for money ever again, and like I’m a wimp because others have been working this way for decades… I’m now on my 18th month of avoiding to work again.

All this to say: don’t ignore the warning signs. This is a toxic job, nothing good will come out of it anymore, and delaying your resignation (or months long sick leave if you can get any) will only make the problem worse while requiring an even longer recovery period.

I've never liked having an API team / Front End Team distinction.

If there is only one front end that talks to the back end, then yes I agree. If there are 20 different front ends from 20 different teams, some of them external, that are expected to talk to the same API, then it makes a lot more sense.

Sushi grade fish is flash frozen at -40°f - not all fish is frozen this way. Most [0] sushi grade fish in the US is frozen this way before distribution. This is not the case for ALL fish. It would almost certainly have been frozen, just not necessarily flash frozen with the intent to distribute as sushi grade.

Most fish you buy will have a warning specifically saying not to eat it raw if it wasn’t frozen safely in this manner.

Yep, it's not even price-fixing if they all got together and sold XYZ for the same price.
So you're saying that consciousness has nothing to do with physics?
Yep: e^iω (with ω real) is an oscillation, but e^σ (with σ real) is an exponential decay when σ < 1, an exponential growth with σ > 0 and constant with σ = 1

so e^(σ + iω) = e^σ * e^iω is just an exponential growth or decay modulated by a sinusoid.. or, if σ is one, is just a pure oscillation

ω is the usual frequency, but σ + iω is the complex frequency. the fourier transform deals with function that receives ω as input, and the laplace transform deals with functions that receives σ + iω instead.

so the fourier transform is just a special case of the laplace transform with σ = 0

> Very early versions of Tailscale tried to use it, It’s not enough though.

I know you’re not the author, but I think that type of background would have been an interesting/helpful addition to the blog post and have given it more grit/mileage. Personally I found the post to be link heavy and shallow. I read it wondering why you’re going through all this trouble, instead of understanding a clear problem and solution. A reader like I would be super interested in an explanation of the shortcomings of Apple’s framework and what product requirements or technical constraints make Tailscale’s bespoke approach necessary. I think it sets the stage better for a “we’re off the rails good thing Apple publishes the ifconfig sources, +1 for open source” type of message.

mypyc does that:
https://github.com/mypyc/mypyc

> Mypyc compiles Python modules to C extensions. It uses standard Python type hints to generate fast code. Mypyc uses mypy to perform type checking and type inference.

> Mypyc can compile anything from one module to an entire codebase. The mypy project has been using mypyc to compile mypy since 2019, giving it a 4x performance boost over regular Python.

I have not experience a 4x boost, rather between 1.5x and 2x. I guess it depends on the code.

I would question if the serialisation code speed actually matters.

RAM and CPU are much much faster than an SSD so almost all (98%) of the time will be spent writing to disk.

To speed it up you have to reduce the file size so that it can be written to disk faster. I think the fastest way would be a gzipped JSON file.

You can do all of the converting to JSON and compression while you're waiting for the hard disk to finish writing.

Everything you say flies in the face of Nvidia continuing to get away with ridonkulous pricing despite continued claims of gamers wanting to see AMD Radeon become competitive.
