For a long time now, imgur simply hasn't worked for me unless I whitelist JS for medialab and a bunch of other 3rd-party domains. Even direct image links get hijacked back to the tracking-infested page. Good riddance, imgur, you won't be missed.
>AI might shift power back to the individual - because it can be run locally, and the government has a much harder time monitoring that

It will become AI as a service in the cloud with rent seeking, like everything else.
So for the out of date code, did you ask it to rewrite it following the more modern version of the API/SDK?

It gives me incorrect stuff all the time, but I find that once you are in the correct ballpark for an answer, it just takes some tweaks to get where it needs to be.

You can also make corrections and it will generally stick to your corrected info while in the same session.
I'm surprised imgur still exists. It's been years since reddit started doing their own image hosting, and that was basically the only thing anyone used it for.
Maybe something new needs to be invented? Or utilize something we already have? Anyway I think this is the next leap in AI.

Operative Language Models. Where the model is trained to do specific tasks very well. In a reliable way. I don't anticipate them to be 'large' and expensive also.

Then we have lots of these models and some kind of 'orchestration' layer that makes them all work together. This I believe will be the future. Micro Operative Language Models.
Ask HN: Self hosted key-value store like Jira?
I find a lot of instances in my company where I'd like to be able to setup a key value store that multiple people can live collaborate:

- Asset Management

Create asset, get asset ID (key) for accounting/deprecation purposes, store asset serial number, name, description, warranty date etc.

- Physical Key Management

Create physical key, register id, allocate to staff member, etc

- Product Warranty Management

Register a physical product (going out the doors), note the customer ID, QA test results, warranty expiry

- Document Management?
- CRM?
- Register of Virtual Machines?

In the past I have just created a custom JIRA instance and edited the issue type fields to whatever is required.

It is a bit silly for us to be doing this, because we have huge on-site server resources and if there was some self-hosted FOSS alternative that could achieve the above, we could just in-host it. Any ideas?
Sure, but what’s its value? It doesn’t make sense to compensate people for significantly more than the value of the work they’re doing.

Sort of a tangent, but I think it's amusing how often HN goes on about how the laws are too complex but the situation is something like

> then the current administration would get a free pass to replace a large cohort of politically mixed old judges with a homogeneous slate of young D judges. And it would be a one-shot imbalance, because in the future, judges would age out gradually instead of 10% all at once.

Allow me to point out how absurd this objection is in the context of the last decade and a half or so.

Party A publicly declares that as a matter of policy, they will proudly and purposefully go to any length to prevent nominations by the presidency, held by Party B, for eight years.

Party A secures the presidency (with the lowest popular vote count in history) and proceeds to stuff the federal judiciary with nearly two hundred and fifty appointments, many of whom are widely criticized by numerous groups including the American Bar Association as being wildly unqualified and in the few short years since have handily confirmed this with comically bad rulings.

In a severe backlash by the American public, Party B returns to the white house and secures substantial congressional control

It is pointed out that we have a small number of judges who are senile and that they should probably be forcibly retired

...and that is "unfair" because Party B would get the "one shot" opportunity to replace a handful of judges...

...after party A replaced two hundred and fifty in four years?

Someone else in this thread tried to provide a case on point, but it doesn't seem to be, either.

I expect the end result, and I think this is happening quickly, will be a rough splitting of humanity into the "onlines" and "offlines."

The onlines will live in their feedback chamber of AI generated content to stoke their ego and convince them they're 100% right and wise and, you know, you can express how right and wise you are to others if you buy this product. The same thing we have now, just turned up to about 50 on the 0-10 dial.

The offlines will interact mostly with other humans in person, and dismiss the concerns of the online world, and... pretty much act like humans have throughout history, for good and for bad.

The problem is that the online world takes an awful lot of resources and energy we seem to be getting pretty short on (at least if you want it reliable enough to run a datacenter), so that world has some endpoint, eventually.

>Just how much veto power do you think the average person has in Russia and China when the elites choose to do something?

They don't, but most of them don't care, because the leaders are getting things done. They may not be the things you want done, or some other malcontents, but to say authoritarian systems are completely ineffectual is just wrong. They really do get things done.

The problem is that they usually get the wrong things done (e.g., idiotic wars in Ukraine). But most of the citizens in those places are easily misled into believing these actions are justified or necessary.

Authoritarians frequently come into power because the previous systems weren't working well, and people wanted a strong leader to take power. Just look at the Roman Empire for example.

Also it's unfortunate that you retort to blaming the coders and mild racism, instead of accepting Boeing messed up. FAA not once in it's reports nor any aviation experts blamed the code, Boeing went cheap and removed a redundant device the MCAS system needs during a malfunction.
Even during the incident HN was quick to blame pilots for being unskilled, now it's the coders mistake?
The American company went greedy and went cheap, ignored its engineers, bent FAA over it's back to make rules that suit them, ignored all the warnings. Tried to brush away opinions. And was fully aware of the issue. Instead it tried to hide it. I'm not sure where your so called $9 coder sits here.
You can also see it this way: Its a symbiosis, and without our gut bacteria we would not be able to exist.

The langchain/auto gpt tool chains being built have bugs/issues.

At a meta level - AGI unleashed is only AGI unleashed into our messy real world of fraud, inaccurate data, and now - massive amounts of content made by other LLMs.
Some of the UAPs/UFOs I saw in the Navy footage looked like internal reflections or lens flare to me. There was some context given about airspeed, turn rate, etc. that made that plausible.

But not all of them seemed consistent, so maybe there are LGMs out there.

As a physics student the axiomatic assertion that the universe is rational, observable and repeatable was hammered into my head. Maybe it's not. If the universe has some bits that aren't repeatable, it's interesting, but it's not physics. So who knows?

Perhaps it's just Pere Ubu playing a joke on us all.

But it is interesting that as soon as everyone was carrying cameras around in their pockets, the number of UFO and Cryptid sightings went waaaay down. I kind of miss Nessie, Sasquatch and the Little Green Men. Fie on you, mobile phones vendors, for making a world where camera-shy Fay and ABCs and aliens no longer show themselves to tripping teens and long-haul truckers on lonely stretches of I-80 under the inky black sky.
m = n would be trivial and pointless. Also, I'm curious why he didn't specify precisely clarify "distinct" to mean "pairs of unequal values" (e.g., exclude {n,m} where n=m) and "pairs not equal to others" (e.g., {x,y} excludes {y,x}).
This is incredibly vague

Depending on market share, assets, and general repute, the top 6real estate firms in Dubai are:

One of Dubai's biggest developers, Emaar Properties, is responsible for such renowned buildings as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and Dubai Opera.

One of the biggest real estate firms in Dubai is DAMAC Properties, known for its opulent developments like DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Towers, and Akoya Oxygen.

Dubai Properties, a division of Dubai Holding, is in charge of creating some of the most well-known residential and commercial buildings in the city, including JBR, Business Bay, and Dubai Wharf.

One of Dubai's leading real estate developers, Nakheel Properties is well known for creating man-made islands including the Palm Jumeirah, The World, and Deira Islands.

One of the fastest-growing real estate firms in Dubai is called Meraas. This development firm focuses on producing distinctive and creative developments including City Walk, Bluewaters Island, and La Mer.

Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), a renowned real estate developer that was founded in 1979, is responsible for the landmark One Central, Dubai Trade Center District, and Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Society, culture, this hierarchal and quasi-performative game we play, where we take on roles and portend certain things which cycle on and off, is a matrix. Any situation I would think where there is a center and then merchants and then banks and then institutions suddenly starts by the constellation of these things generating a thing we call reality, a thing we call time. I sound schizo, but I am speaking about something I am not parroting, it is a realization. Try living in the desert for a few days or the some wilderness in general and then come back to suburbs and the city.
That is nuts to read. One other dev and myself created the original system in-house for Alaska in 1999, it ran for years. Of course some C Suite genius out sourced it.

> However, I think you’re making a mistake on a core part of your argument:

No, that part has been misunderstood so I guess I didn't write it clearly enough.

I'm not saying the filesystem defragments, or does any particular effort to ensure on-disk contiguous storage. I'm saying that as a result of the presence of other data on the filesystem and historic accumulating entropy in layout (sometimes caused by an LSM tree DB!), the filesystem ends up keeping track of appended data discontiguously on disk. In keeping track, the filesystem has to consult its free-space structures to find new free areas, with a heuristic or two to decide whether to allocate a large or small one, write updates to the free-space structures, and keep track of the resulting discontiguous mapping for the file by writing to those structures too. Even when it's contiguous on-disk, versions of those metadata writes are needed for transactional, durable DB writes. They're simpler during bulk non-durable writes of course.

These are the "more work, sometimes more I/O, just to allocate space".

Good filesystems are efficient, but that activity does add overhead (especially when durable transactions are involved) and big-O algorithmic factors (those 1 MiB extents add up), and the picture painted of linear-time operations in LSM papers is inaccurate as a result. I don't think this overhead is necessarily large in practice most of the time. However it's where much of the complexity and corner cases lie, if honestly analysing the performance range and big-O scaling factors.

You make an interesting point about write amplification at the filesystem layer not being accounted for. In addition, classic LSM trees also have significant write amplification (regardless of filesystem or even block device) due to the simple act of writing all data to every layer. This is well known by LSM designers, and there are mitigations, but it's somehow left out of the public image of LSM trees. Classic LSM trees are excellent for random-access writes that need to be gradually sorted, but for some other write patters, are slower (more I/O) than good quality B-trees and some other structures.

> no one is really going to care about performance on an almost full filesystem (kind full like 75% but old so lots of fragments is valid but I doubt it’s actually a problem because of how good filesystems are).

Heh. In practice, every RocksDB or LevelDB I've seen in production is hundreds of GB or several TB on filesystems that have run low on space or even run out, mainly due to the size of the DB :-) They also have thousands or tens of thousands of files in each DB, which they have to open for random-access queries. This is what motivated me to recognise the filesystem can be quite involved.
I'm not sure why having a screenshot is required but a description is optional. I would think you should be able to set either and that would enable the richer UI.
Not a problem for me, I can type on either at equal speed. The biggest problem is using vim.

Probably not aliens. The idea of them traveling massive distances and being slightly observed but never fully observed defies the odds.

Possible explanations: light, reflections, lasers, weather phenomenon, weather balloons, secret military tech, eye witness hallucinations (exhaustion, drugs, optical illusions, etc.), radar malfunctions, and hoaxes.

I remember there was a pilot who observed the “tic tac” UFO that said him and his buddies used to fly at night and turn on their lights while making a rapid maneuver and laugh when the UFO reports came in. Because from certain angles and evasive maneuver looks completely stationary followed by an other worldly rapid acceleration. But it’s all optical illusion and observer perspective.

You can believe whatever you wish, but I’m willing to remain skeptical until there’s more definitive evidence.

"In the matrix," to me, refers to a reference to The Matrix (movie from the 90s), in which humans are kept around as energy sources, with the entire world being a simulation generated by computers to keep their energy sources complacent. You seem to be using a rather different definition.

I agree entirely, but I used the google example because they've specifically done exactly that:

* Reported an image for being CSAM

* Terminated the account

* The police correctly recognized it isn't CSAM

* Google refused to reinstate the account

But even if you assume a functioning and rule-of-law based legal system and you don't go to jail without actually committing a crime, the cost of bogus CSAM reports is in no way lost on me, especially in the conservative US and many similar regressive regimes around the world where LGBT anything is legislated as child abuse. Even if you are found innocent (which again, regressive regimes make hard) and news reports and anything on the internet will be "X was arrested for having child abuse imagery" nothing will ever be updated to reflect the result.

This is ignoring what happens if people maliciously inject child abuse into your device's "CSAM" filter. Before the "CSAM" detection gets expanded to "weapons", "graffiti", "evidence of crime", etc. Take the UK where politicians aggressively passed laws to allow spying to prevent "terrorism", and those laws are used almost exclusively for councils to enforce local ordinances related to cleaning, taxes, and fees. And of course none of those laws were needed to prevent the crimes they're ostensibly meant to stop (literally multiple reports to the police prior to Manchester, etc).
