Thank you for expressing that, I agree wholeheartedly. There's this increasing sentiment that everything is a product - something many people on HN are responsible for promoting. Where once was humility, there's now opportunism: Terminal emulator? Meet subscription service. In an industry defined by it's ability to generate hype cycles and profit off them, there's something brilliant and refreshing about FOSS and it's culture.

I've expressed this badly. By "but not what I wanted" I don't mean it suggesting an alternative. I mean it giving an answer claiming to do what I asked for, but which doesn't actually.

Horses are from North America, originally.

Crazy timeline.

They're from North America.

They seem to go extinct before local civilizations are able to leverage them, missing out on a huge force multiplier.

Europeans reintroduce them much later and use them successfully to conquer large swaths of land.

The "inferior" Native Americans realize the utility of horses and very quickly they become so skilled at using them that today their archetypal image is that of a horseman.

Small businesses supported gluten allergies well before any large corporations did. It's much easier to control small batches than large ones.

> Also, the "...instead of conducting the careful cleaning required for foods without sesame..." reason sounds fishy to me. Any facility processing food at scale already has to do a lot of careful cleaning. My first guess - the "cleaning" standard in the new sesame regulation is so strict that it would require "never attempted anything like this before" levels of effort. Second guess - perfect cleaning won't actually cover your regulatory butt if your supply chain has sesame problems...and there are severe sesame problems in their supply chains.

You clearly didn't take the time to read the regulation or even the article before replying.
Then you have a very naive view of reality. People, society, 'facts and numbers' are complex machines, and don't exist completely separate from anything else. There isn't some disease that just comes along and flicks an immediate 'off' switch, so dumbing it down to 'covid and nothing else' is like talking about a spherical cow in a vacuum.

Everyone has different histories, different immune systems, different current healths, different short and long-term health care availability. Knowing that COVID was in their system recently, and observing that covid can have noticeable impacts on your cardiovascular system, means that COVID is likely a contributing factor (to some degree, large or small) in their death.

Exactly: zero. Edit: that is, zero right to collect any personal data beyond what they need for the service. And definitely no right to siphon and sell it to others with reckless abandon.
I think you can use https://github.com/pgaudit/set_user combined with some pgbouncer configuration to solve that, but agreed that postgres doesn't have perfect support for this scenario. It'd be better to have a proxy that is designed specifically for this use case that knows how to drive something like the set_user extension (and better if it were to be merged upstream).

OP was asking why de Sade is promoted so heavily.

"Promoted" or "fascinated" are the wrong words. Sade is a classic and that's not because he was a nice guy. The same happens with many other famous authors. Fame is not a prize for being virtuous. It's what he wrote, not what he was.

If you want to censor his books, you're not punishing him, the man has been dead for a long time, he doesn't care. You're punishing all potential readers.

It is "trusted" only by manufacturers and cannot be controlled by the user. Why cannot it be controlled by the user? Probably because it is intented to be used as a backdoor or to report users who install pirated software, or download unapproved materials etc.

`nmap` was so much fun when I first played with it back in 2004 or so as a 17 year old.

I remember reading my own IP address, then wondering "I wonder what the neighbours are like?". So I scanned a range of similar IPs. One of them had port 80 accepting connections. "A website? Hosted on Bell internet?" I opened up my browser and went to that IP directly.

"Tim Hortons 2402 - Camera Control". It required a password (which I never guessed, sadly).

These kinds of weird adventures were a lot of fun.

>who is, contrary to what we were told, winning the war

So you haven't read any documents in the end? Because the worst that these documents say is "mostly stalemate, losses here and wins there". Of course Ukraine isn't overwhelmingly winning, but if you believed that, you just believed war propaganda. You shouldn't be angry at it, because it's literally what happens in every, single war. Every camp will overstate their wins and downplay their losses to the public.
You need to think further. A piglet is also a pig.
Be better to take control of it, and run it as a chunk of your hypervisor.

I thought we were talking about USB-C as the interface between the battery and the tool. If that's the case, the connector would be embedded in the battery so it mates with the receptacle when you clip the battery onto the tool. There wouldn't be something you can put a sleeve on (and that wouldn't be necessary as the case of the battery is, effectively, the ruggedized sleeve.)

I have an SBC that mates with an external hard drive in this way. You put the hard drive in an enclosure that clamps onto the base of the SBC and a USB-C connector mates when you do.

That's what needs to be more rugged. It's not just external side-to-side forces here, it's the actual mating and unmating of the connector that needs to be ruggedized. USB-C is too delicate for that, at least in my experience.

You want something that has big, beefy contacts that can handle being connected and disconnected a lot, by people who are not being anything close to careful when they're doing it.

One person with influenza spreads it to 1.3 people, on average. If mitigation measures bring that below 1.0, it slows down. We may have wiped out some influenza strains entirely (https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/09/covid-may-have-pushe...).

One person with COVID's early strain spreads to 2.9 people, and that was with massive societal mitigation measures in place.

Omicron's is listed as a whopping 9.5. Some of that likely includes reduced mitigation, but it's still enormous.

It's clearly substantially more infectious. Three generations of spread at 1.3 mean ~2 people infected; three generations at 9.5 mean ~850 people.
Its usually not just random bullshit that gets spread around, but believable stories that follow a similar sort of logic to those we generally agree are true. Though, what might seem to you unbelievable may be dramatically different from what others consider so, and some things you think are true others might call bullshit. Though the material application of knowledge, in the end, always demonstrates its useful validity.
> LLMs currently statistically regurgitate existing data.

NO! They do not.

Deep learning models are "universal approximators". Any two-layer neural network with enough parameters, data and training is a universal approximation. That means they can learn ANY relationship with an arbitrary accuracy.

Going beyond two layers, with several layers, problem domain structured architectures, and recurrent connections, they become far more efficient and effective.

So yes, they learn associations, correlations, stochastic models, statistics.

But they also learn to model functional relationships. Which is why they are able to generalize relationship to new situations, and combine previously unrelated relationships in reasonable and surprising ways.

A large part of creativity is putting together previously unrelated concepts and then letting the obvious logic of those relationships combine to result in something new an unexpected.

Note that both combining normally unrelated things, and combining the concepts in some way more or less consistent with what those concepts normally mean, is well within the grasp of current models.

They haven't outclassed out best thinkers. Or any of our best thinking as individuals yet. They are still very limited on problems that require many steps to think through.

But they are definitely, within their limits, being creative.

And they are far, far, FAR from just being statistical parrots.

Who has been saying this? First time I've heard it. The closest I've heard is that there's two versions of the "leak", one with modified numbers making it look better for Russia. Which still appears to be true.

Having a degree in AI, I'm well familiar with those names, and also that any publications from before the pivotal Google paper are not particularly relevant to the current generation of "what people now call AI".

As for the Chinese Room argument: that's literally the argument against programs having beliefs. It's McArthy argument for demonstrating that even if the black box algorithmic system seems to outwardly be intelligent, it has demonstrably nothing to do with intelligence.
Flu has a lower R0 and thus is not spreading this quickly.

The Flu is/was suppressed by the measures more because its lower R0 was pushed down closer to 1 which prevented any exponential expansion that is commonly happening when people don't care (i.e. don't wear masks, socialize more and are lax about washing their hands).
You can't normalize carrying guns at dev conferences. If you let someone mention that in an "issues about a language" post, we must be able to point out a) how unrelated the 2 are and b) how murderous guns and gun-carriers are.

It's worth noting that GPT-4 supposedly has increased resistance to prompt injection attacks as demoed in the "steerability" section: https://openai.com/research/gpt-4

Most people will still be using the ChatGPT/gpt-3.5-turbo API though for cost reasons though, especially since the Agents workflow paradigm drastically increases token usage.

> There do appear to be unintended consequences, but it's not clear whether things are "worse" now than before. It's worse if you have a sesame allergy and want to be able to eat as many products as before. Now there are fewer products that are safe for you to eat.

I'm allergic to milk, but I can survive a trace amount if it ends up in something. The trial and error isn't fun, but I can eat the majority of things that "may contain milk".

Having 90% of my relatively safe food options become toxic and dangerous overnight isn't a good trade off for "at least I know it's safe".

All that would be necessary is for a "may contain" label. If that's there, people who are severely allergic can avoid those products.

> This approach might seem horrifyingly outside-the-box but has a lot of advantages

You don't need to worry, there are a lot of people who are into stored procedures. If there weren't, there wouldn't be people disagreeing with them, like the author of Rails: http://web.archive.org/web/20060418215514/http://www.loudthi...

The slippery slope of liking stored procedures a whole lot means them taking over the rest of the middle of the stack, and that isn't a new idea.

I like the idea of having instant access to the database, and microservices are my favored approach.
Ecto queries are much closer to DB queries, when you use the macro syntax.

But if you come from an ORM perspective and expect the same experience on Ecto, yes I agree it won't please you.
Viewed from this perspective, reality itself is subjective. Math doesn't exist, neither does physics or anything else we assume grounds us in reality.

It's a rejection of common reality and not worth engaging with because it's an argumentative dead end.
