It seems like your issue is that this is not human, and it does not do what a human would do. This is a high expectation and, possibly dangerous, assumption.

Shows how this tech is such a double edged sword for user value, expectations and assumptions.
It's faster and cheaper, those are things that are generally considered valuable.

Faster: the finance markets have been extremely tenuous the past 4 years between pandemics, supply chain crisis, world wars, inflation, and so on. An IPO requires 12 to 18 months of work / process before listing. SPACs can be done in a quarter or 2. In uncertain times it is much less risky to get the listing done fast.

Cheaper: Startups pay much less in fees to investment bankers when going through SPACs, there is also less dilution for investors and employees and more valuation transparency. In traditional IPOs investment bank underwriters have some conflict of interest to get lower valuations to pass the 'pump' onto their high value clients or proprietary trading desk. Why should they benefit over the people who have literally built the company?

While it is true that there is room to better regulate SPACs, there haven't been horrible abuses yet. It is also true that SPACs have not had the best returns for retail investors over the past few years however drawing a conclusion that this is due to SPAC usage versus the complex macro economic environment of recent years is very difficult.
are you sure nothing new has come out since 2021 in terms of rust to c++ transpilers? as stupid as that idea is in my opinion
A little less zany but still fun font is https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans, previously known as Cosmic Sans Neue Mono.
This is common when doing LTO, without it there is no guarantee that there isn't some dynamically loaded code that would be broken, this is one area where JIT focused languages have an advantage.
No, I mean basic development of all kind - not just AI directly - is sped up.

The fact that downloading and finetuning models is the only hard part of these systems is a testament to how frigging far along we came.

We forgot just how hard software development and compute in general was just a short time ago.
Doesn't change the fact that your incentives as a public company are different.

Also all the people who built the company in the first place will cash out. People can decide for themselves whether they think the product will become more or less secure from this.
I routinely downloaded it from a pirate site, but I see that it's available here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-...

Works well without activation, if you don't mind the overlay. But what I did is that I pointed it at a KMS emulator, which is a piece of software that responds to every activation request as a positive. The internet is full of lists of servers like these, but I host it myself - basically just built and compiled this one: https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd
DreamBooth replaces the old meaning of the token in a model, so the only importance of "rareness" is you weren't already using it.
I’m always amused at how home cooks all have the meme $300 knives, then you see a pro chef explain their gear and it’s a $30 knife with plastic handle.

That's a very good tip, thanks, I'll look out for it the next time.
Langtorch: A Java Library for Building Composable LLM Applications
Introducing Langtorch, a new and powerful library for building composable LLM (Large Language Model) applications using the Java programming language.
Langtorch aims to provide developers with a robust and flexible framework to create LLM-based applications with ease.

The library is still in active development, and while it's not yet ready for production use, it's already showing a lot of promise in terms of its features and capabilities. Some of the key features implemented in Langtorch include:

Prompt Template and Annotation Based Prompt
OpenAI LLM Provider
Input and Output Parser
Capability Unit, Capability Node, and Capability DAG
Capability Agent
Langtorch also has a roadmap for adding more features, such as providing more pre-built capability units and nodes, adding annotation-based LLM services, and implementing memory.

Langtorch is inspired by libraries like langchain, showcasing its commitment to building on existing foundations to create innovative and effective solutions.

For those interested in getting started with Langtorch, the library is available on Maven Central Repo, and while the documentation is still being worked on, it's a good place to start exploring this exciting new project.

Please note that Langtorch is still in active development and not ready for production use. Nonetheless, it's an exciting project that holds great potential for the future of LLM application development.

Check out the project on GitHub: https://github.com/Knowly-ai/Langtorch
Joke aside, to wealthy and powerful Romans of the time, many thousands, maybe tens of thousands of books and tracts would have been available, possibly even to middle class people. There were even publishing industries and trends akin to reduced versions of today's best seller phenomenon. Someone like Diocletian, Vespasian or his son Domitian wouldn't have had much trouble with interesting literature.
No different from any programming language with several decades of evolution.
Referring to the yubikey merger with a SPAC company called ACQ.
Awk is that language. Perl was created as a more capable replacement for that, Awk++ if you will.
Its in the Legendary Invites forum, so obviously you'll need to rank up to Legendary Gamer if not already.

EDIT: The thread also states you need to be a Master Gamer, and an account older than 1 year. So very tough requirements, although you can get to MG without uploading anything.
"The ship left the port".

Now you'll always remember that port is the left side.
Reminds me of Yugo Nakamura - what was once yugop.com - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugo_Nakamura
You still use left and right on board, but referring to other things. E.g. you sit on the left side of the table, and by using "left" it's clear that your reference is the table itself and not the ship.

What you achieve is a new set of coordinates relative to the vessel. You are going north, sitting on the port, with a glass of wine in your right hand, instead of going up and sitting on the left.
Yes, if used as a root filesystem. My computer is setup to have immutable read-only root filesystem, any changes go to RAM. Except for the home directory. There is no swap either.

It shouldn't be a problem if you use it to store infrequently accessed material, e.g. the entire copy of Library Genesis (2.5 million ebooks). The double encryption will make sure absolutely that you cannot be prosecuted for possessing forbidden books (in countries where there is no mandatory key disclosure law). That way your reading habits are none of the government's business, period. As it should be.
Quite right. Apologies.
For your analogy to be more accurate, any store I walk into would have the ability to look at my behavior in every store, essentially in perpetuity, and share/sell that information. Feels like something you should at least have to opt into.
Oh wow, I never knew chillblains was a thing. I had always thought it was just my skin drying out during the winter, and cracking along the joints. Now I know why all that moisture cream didn't help at all.

I'm in a heavy snow area so my little shed will probably be better insulated than most homes but I'll make sure to see how cold the walls get. My house has about 40 or 50cm of insulation and the walls don't feel cold at all. I have the heater running at 19C all winter long and the sun easily brings it up to 23C.
While snarky, and slightly off beat for HN, I think your comment does carry a good point: Google does hire the best of the best, but by a metric that seems to cause all their products to get worse.
I wouldn't travel far, but if you're near SF anyway, then it's a nice stop. It's pretty small, just two rooms, so it's not a big thing. I found it interesting to see Audrey Kim (the curator)'s perspective through the exhibit and I also enjoyed meeting fellow museum goers and chatting with them
Today there are more trustworthy alternatives. Yubikey is great for a very limited set of uses. But it lacks programmability and openness.

Something tillitis key has. Tkey has a steeper learning curve because they're programmable, but they're also 100% open source software and hardware.
Please do. It's really tedious to use iteratively at present.
No! That’s what confused CPAs are telling gullible startup founders.

Nothing forces you to classify engineering salaries or even contract expenses under the provisions of section 174 which describe “research and experimental expenditure”. There are some reasons historically why people elected to do that, but that may be a bad idea moving forward and honestly seems rather dishonest to me. No, your Jira clone is not “research and experimental expenditure”, it’s just a fucking database with a UI… just like 97% of all other startups. It’s more like: if you can use section 174 because you spun up a project to research curing diabetes with nano bots, then your software development allocated towards the project also counts as R&E, cheers.

Repeat after me: “my core business is not a research and experimental expenditure, it’s just a normal mundane boring operating expense”.
object-oriented deployment... huh... That's an interesting mental model that I didn't have. Thanks for sharing!

For me, it's a standard which works well for short-cycle control loop. Standards are never perfect, but the best ones are minimalistic and built out of real world experience. Operators check these boxes for me.

Not sure if you can share, but if you can, would love to know the type of business logic you moved into operators.
Nhost introduces Compute Resources, a new feature that allows users to create dedicated servers for their GraphQL backends.

It offers more power and control over the performance and scalability of Nhost applications. Users can choose from different server sizes and regions, and easily switch between shared and dedicated servers.

Compute Resources also enable users to run custom code on their servers, such as cron jobs, webhooks, and serverless functions.
Unfortunately it starts slightly in the wrong end.

Step one assumes you already know where on github to point it for go.mod, then some 11 things to run before you make a github repo for it. By that time you might have gotten a better idea for the name or so.

Either it should have started with creating the GH repo and go from there, or "fix" so that it starts off as a un-versioned go project and then tell users how to github it afterwards.

I get that not all guides can cover all possible entries, but this one just struck me as missing both "I didn't know I wanted it on github from scratch, this was just my 2 minute golang test and now I figured it should be versioned" and "as it grew from color-ls-in-go to golang-filesystem-utility I figured this other name would be better"

> and think you need to put in an "art" image to get an "art" image out, but of course that's not

While you don't need that to generate an image, it's something SD can actual do extremely well with ControlNet, Textual Inversion, LoRA, img2img and so on.

That's an area where things are going to get interesting in the future, as you can take any image, feed it into SD and produce hundreds of AI images from it. Very easily, without much effort and within minutes. The delineating line between original work and derivative becomes extremely blurry here, as what you are copying is not "the image", but just concepts within the image, that can be a pose, camera angle, scene layout, art style or really anything. You can "copy" it with as much variation as you want, you can remix it with other images, text prompts and so on. Where does "looking at reference" stop and "doing a copyright violation" start?

The spooky part with AI art that it stops images from being singular entities, with AI you can explode every piece into millions of possible variations. AI is so fast at generating art that a future where we could generate movies in real time might not be far away. It's already fast enough to produce images and text stories faster than you can consume them. There might be a fundamental shift in art consumption ahead of us.
Yes, that's right, there is a system of prioritisation in the NHS and this also varies by the different NHS trusts so it depends on where you live.
I'm using it for my side project, a highly productive framework; I can also say it's in use in some _very_ large corporations, although I cannot give details about that.
Thank you, will keep an eye on it. Auth0 is definitely the closest I've seen to what my business needs (and I've spent waaay to much time one trials and demos of too many products so far).

If it would:

a.) Perform group assignment based on SAML attributes (like Okta's group rules), and,
b.) "natively" support SAML Federations used in the Higher Education space (which Shibboleth appears to be the only thing that supports)

I'd sign up tomorrow and start migration of my 150k users.
She's doing the same. We all are (stealing stuff, blending with randomness that moves us towards the goal).
Quite a lot of folk etymology tries to, incorrectly, assign nautical origins to common words and phrases. I used to read a column by an etymologist that jokingly referred to this using the term CANOE - the Committee to Assign a Nautical Origin to Everything :-)
Are there artist who are capable of viewing gazillions of art works like computers can? And the copy&paste with little effort?
shouldnt mods be paid to do the work of reddit, in moderating reddit subs?
Not this SPAC, https://www.avanza.se/aktier/om-aktien.html/1206860/acq-bure...
It's mostly owned by Swedish Pension funds.
Okay, but the YK5 was available before this acquisition and is still the same key after. Not sure how the NFC part factors into your assessment. I assumed SPAC meant something technical about the key.
Plastic boats give way to wooden ship, wooden ships give way to metal ships, and nothing gives way anything much smaller than itself - Not the colreg rules, but a good approximation for unskilled crew members. Especially on a wooden ship.
It's fair enough if you don't want to make evangelism your life mission but if you don't point bad things out to people at all then you are limiting your impact as much as those that have given up and submit to those things. Sometimes people are receptive to being nudged towards responsible behavior.

> Normal attrition rates, which are about 3% per month† for our industry

How did you get the 3% from that link? If software falls under "information", then the the attrition rate indicated in the link is about 1.3%.
That tip about workflow is gold. Currently I just work around my desk only but I've always wanted to have some standing space and a whiteboard like I used to have at at the office, as well as some pacing space for thinking. The latter is why I worry about the lack of space with a huge desk in the middle.

Definitely food for thought. Thanks!
I had the same idea until I opened main.cpp and scrolled through 8911 lines of code
Stop parroting this nonsense. If you really think gluing a React UI onto MongoDB and then jamming it into an Electron app so that you can charge a subscription for your juice-pulp-bag-squeezing-machine is “research and experimental expenditure” you have either drown yourself so far in Kool-Aid that your skin is blue or you’re certifiably committing tax fraud.
We’ve seen pre-revenue companies that promised flying cars and other obvious scams go public via SPACs. If you don’t consider that SPAC abuse your bar is a lot lower than mine. These are companies that had no chance of surviving the more serious road show due diligence that the likes of GS demand when they take startups public.

Instead we saw popular podcasts push their SPACs on gullible retail investors, based on fuzzy concepts like disruption and TAM. Subsequently these SPACs lost 90% of their value and the insiders made bank. I hope to see jail sentences for the more shameless SPAC pump and dump players.
>But it lacks programmability

For a lot of us, that's a feature, not a bug.
Good for you. How about the people you love? How about the rest of the humanity?
This is a good take, and historically accurate IMO. Rule engines were indeed marketed as a more practical way of getting the benefits of declarative rules, in a form where supposedly non-programmers would be able to maintain the rule base. And yes, the relational model (in the unattractive guise of SQL) won out in the database space.

Just like functional languages inspire people to write "more functional" code in other languages, I think Prolog can inspire us to think in relations (SQL) and rules. Rules engines grew into monstrosities, but more light-weight rule engines exist and can be a great tool.
No, I'm well versed in the limitation of the tech. The comparison to what a human can do is just an interesting comparison. It's a feat the GPT-4 model can manage in this context. GPT-4 is also exhibiting emergent behaviours that are not found on models with smaller numbers of parameters, it is these emergent behaviours that make it seem more 'human' in it's ability to produce content, even if the "reasoning" about it is all an illusion.

Even here there are limitations, which was my intent with mentioning the Econ exam.

Aside: It's also possible to get different answers by making the LLM simulate being different people (a student, or a professor).

It is very easy to slip into thinking about ChatGPT in terms of actually thinking, but then again our understanding of the human mind has led to theories that conscious decision may well be an illusion as well (if brain scans showing that the decision is made before the conscious mind is aware are anything to go by).

At the moment though, these are just tools, with varying degrees of usefulness.

There are well-defined processes for selling unregistered securities.

Either get them registered, or don't sell them.
is this tangential publicity for the current Renfield movie, which has Nicolas Cage as Dracula? A meaty role that his extravagant style surely suits.
Oops. I just realized that I upgraded to one of the discloses variants. Its been months (years?) Since I bought it.

And here I thought I should go check out Netflix DVD catalog before it closes for good in September.
and don't get me wrong, it's a very good guide on what and how to set up your projects and how a good default looks when you grow your project. I was just slightly put off by the simple start being written as if you spent lots of time on golang where each new project has a plan and a purpose, as opposed to someone dipping their toes into golang and want to skip making the simpler mistakes.
Graduated into the 08 recession. Knowing what I know now , I would have drawn out my graduation date as much as possible until the market started to improve. See if there's a way you can work for/affiliate yourself with some lab and in 2024 you will be able to pretend as if you're fresh out of academia and have never looked for a job yet.
Apple Saket will open this Thursday, April 20, in New Delhi
You can just look at a map over the US and see quickly how the grid pattern exists at almost any zoom level. You also notice it in how people think about directions. As a European I found it tricky to deal with but I saw the opposite when Americans drive in Europe. They really struggle with a system not built around thinking east-west and north-south.

I think generally in Europe people think in terms of landmarks rather than fixed directions.
Unfortunately this will likely just be used as a part of a unique user fingerprint generation method, similar to Do Not Track.
You're absolutely right. Should have just stuck to an iterative flow like we usually do when building software. It's weird how we sometimes forget all our skills when working on a different thing. Reminds me of a PM friend that uses kanban to plan grocery runs with his girlfriend.
Apple has been kind of forced into the open source model by tools like Corellium[1] and some source code leaks. This means that the black box advantage that iOS has had is no longer as significant. Apple's move with the Security Research Device Program[2] proves this point. They wouldn't be offering it if they didn't think it was a serious problem for them.

Yes, I read the link. I felt it was only right to allow the best of both sides to be heard on this one.

"Suspect at best" is really not a fair takeaway, unless you're cherry-picking quotes at face value. Myself, I found the responses to the paper rely on bluster and don't hold much water at all.

Understanding is a word developed by humans, for humans. Of course it only exists because there's a conscious observer. That's the people who use and received the Word.

That's no reason/excuse to describe it as purely subjective.

We can all understand that objectively the Earth exists and (to a level or standard) one can be said to objectively understand the Earth and it's existence.

Understanding relativism makes no sense, because the majority of the topics we wish to understand objectively exist and are empirically/scientifically provable.

You didn't take the stress off understanding, you gave up and mangled the meaning of the word in the process.

Please don't do that.
Switzerland mandates (okay not by law but an old custom) the government to be put together by all major parties whatever they are at the latest elections. Right now there are 7 persons from 4 parties and lo, it works finely. The USA and its bipartisan system is not exactly the yardstick for functioning politics and (super)majorities should definitely never become goals. As surprising as it might come, negotiations can and do work.
Having read the _excellent_ series in English, it was amusing for me to see the movie in a Danish cinema, where the incomprehensible English maritime jargon was translated to incomprehensible Danish maritime jargon.
This (only in the passing) remark really spoke to me about how true some of these predictions are turning out to be:
