Collab HN: Experienced/Interested in Gmail Webhooks?
Hello,

I'm looking for someone to collaborate with on a project that I want to sell within 6 months.

I'm experienced with the frontend and have worked as a senior FE at a few companies including Binance.

I'm not as experienced with the backend and I want to collab with someone that would work on it and we can split the profit/expenses in half.

Ideally, I want to work with someone experienced with Gmail webhooks as that is the main barrier currently.

If you're interested, please send a brief background about yourself and your experience in this area to Hakeemmidan[at]gmail{dot}com, and we can chat from there.

Thanks,
Hakeem
The interesting question is whether he developed any tacit skill or tacit knowledge that would explain his consistent success but would also be difficult to communicate or explain precisely because it's tacit, and therefore can only be described as listening to his gut. In the article, something like this is described:

I can tell she is going to say something else, and I’m pretty sure I know what it is. She’s going to share with me how much time she has left. I can hear it in her pauses. After so many years working the phone, I’ve learned to pick out the nuances, the things being said behind what’s being said, entire life stories even, in a hesitation or vocal inflection, in blank moments in time.

It's difficult to explain what makes a pause have meaning or nuance, and yet, this guy may be able to interpret them consistently in a simple phone call without seeing facial expressions and body language. Tacit stuff is really tough to define and nail down. So it's easy to say gut feeling instead. But as tacit stuff finally gets clarified, defined, and explained, we're often able to see that tacit stuff is anything but a gut feeling.

I, as a human (more generally, as a living thing), was purpose-built to maximize my inclusive genetic fitness. And yet, I have just the one child and no particular wish for more, and I do many things that in no way increase my expected number of descendants and (suitably weighted) other close relations.

No you didn’t, since the allegation is directed at the post-Maidan Ukrainian government and there has been no time since that government existed that it has not been the target of intense Russian propaganda (and, also, war, the Russo-Ukrainian war having been launched by Russia as a direct and immediate response to the Maidan Revolution.)

Yeah, I'm extremely skeptical after just the first story in this article. It says it takes place in 2006. Why would this person spend an hour reading these names over the phone instead of emailing them? I could understand plausible deniability, but if the woman with cancer thought this guy was in the compliance office, surely she wouldn't be thinking he wants to sidestep compliance rules.

The whole thing smells extremely fishy, perhaps I'm just jaded be all the ever present grift online these days.

Took a look at this article you linked to and I came to the conclusion I almost always come to when professionals critique GPT.

- He's holding GPT to too-high a standard and not recognizing the criticisms and misses of GPT also could apply to many medical professionals in his field.

- He is not taking into account that GPT can be quickly trained with new data and address all of the mistakes that he pointed out.

So is GPT ready to be an ER trauma doctor? No it's not, but it isn't far from augmenting some of the skills, knowledge, and diagnosis capabilities that an ER doctor may have.
FastScripts[1] might be worth a look. I've been meaning to check it out myself though so I can't offer any personal experience with it.

I have family in SLC and live in Denver(520 miles), so I've done that road trip probably a dozen times in an ICE and EV, so I'm speaking from experience.

30+ mins at a supercharger doesn't need to be a thing. You get the fastest charging 0-50%, which takes about 15 mins, so that is like 180 miles range, or about 2.5 hours in the car.

So you can get about 700 miles with 2 15 minute stops, assuming you do 300 miles on the first charge if you start at 100%. With a gas car you'd be stopping once for maybe 10-15 mins to refuel and use the bathroom(or twice if you're driving with my partner), so it's really only 15 mins lost over 10 hours in the car.

I'll say that's not my natural way to do a road trip, I would previously go on longer legs with less time stopped, but I actually like taking more little breaks and would probably start doing that if I went on a road trip with an ICE.

I don't think the rich and powerful will fund an AGI that has free thought and free initiative, but perhaps some other group will. The point of AGI, from what I can see, is to replace humans with reliable machines, so that they can do away with humans.
No OVH? Google Cloud? Vultr? Linode? IBM?
I understand the source of these complaints, but I think at the moment when ChatGPT will actually care about what we're asking it, our request will be on the scale of an ant asking a human to move a twig closer to an anthill

A bit, all the App Store apps (with a few exception by Apple, of course) are sandboxed. That's an additional level of security that normal apps don't require.

The macOS sandbox is not perfect, but in most cases is better than nothing.
Ooh, I really like this and from a cursory glance it looks very legible, I’m definitely going to poke around later!
I can verify this through personal tests and use. It's quite bad at connecting scientific dots or tying together even simple mathematical logic.

A bit more cynical:

> I don't know how they found out? Is that public information?

When I graduated college (UC Berkeley, very large public school in California) I had to go to the registrar to pick up my diploma since I graduated off cycle. In line in front of me was a guy who seemed to know the lady at the window well, and put down a piece of paper and said "got another list to check". The lady went into the back, so I asked the guy what he was doing.

He told me he worked for a background check company and was there about once a month with a list of names to verify graduation dates. He told me a lot of his work comes from government and big companies. He then suggested that if I was going to lie about graduating, make sure it was to a small company that can't afford background checks!

He also told me that almost every month there is at least one person who fails to have the degree they claim to have.
I mean, it would be slightly more accurate if it had been “Compute-Optimal Training of Large Language Models”, since the models so-trained aren’t the thing that is compute-optimal, the training is compute-optimal.

How would they know it's a game or not a game? I'm playing my games on Linux anyway. Haven't heard of schedulers using such logic.

MojoAuth, a passwordless authentication provider, has published a detailed blog post on how to implement their solution in Next.js projects. The guide offers a step-by-step tutorial, along with code snippets and explanations, making it easy for developers to set up passwordless authentication for their applications. This could be a game-changer for those who want to simplify user authentication and improve security

These days, it would seem that simple training of employees that requests such as these (if they are ever legitimate requests), should only come in over internal communication systems that effort is presumably put into keep only employees access to and would identify the employee using it.

Raycast's snippets mentioned in the article can do exactly that, screenshot here: https://shots.panaitiu.com/GmT5v4Zj

It can do the incantation thingie, but it also allows binding a hotkey to showing a list of your snippets, searching through them, and inserting them with Enter.

It can also do hyperlinks, bold, italic, if the app you're typing into supports rich text. Example: https://shots.panaitiu.com/gw50Zdcm
Seems to me like the whole history of neural nets is basically crafting models with well-behaved gradients to make gradient descent work well. That, and models that can achieve high utilization of available hardware. The surprising thing is that models exist where the gradients are so well-behaved that we can learn GPT-4 level stuff.
This looks useful, but the problem related to CNIL etc is that CF is a US company so then it can be compelled to deanonymize the data. Wouldn’t this just kick the can down the road? IANAL but interested in this space.

The last app I submitted (a few weeks ago), they rejected it like 1 minute later.. Saying they wanted me to send them a link to a video of if being used (That is not a requirement that is written anywhere on the app store or its docs).. After replying with a video link they immediately accepted it.. I can only assume they just wanted to watch a video and give it a pass rather than bother actually opening it themselves.
Pinning anything by hand defeats the purpose. You'd need to benchmark things first to figure out if it helps or not. Too manual.
Basically any low risk content. "Make me a dropshipping site with text and images" was one of the ones that came to mind.

High risk would be reading legal documents and recommending what the lawyer should do.
Thanks, I was just checking it out based on the article mention. Looks like it's free for personal use, too!

EDIT: Looks like for snippets, it requires a key command to get Raycast to appear, then you have to say Search Snippets, then you have to type your search string, then you have to select the desired snippet. Is it really this many steps? My old workflow was shift-cmd-v, choose the desired snippet via arrow keys, hit return. With muscle memory, this ended up taking less than 4 seconds for most snippets.
Shrapnel or bullets are large objects and obviously the body can’t get rid of them.

Nanoplastic circulates in the bloodstream which is continuously refreshed, or sits somewhere in the cells which are continuously disposed of.

Some toxins or heavy metals can accumulate in bones, but I’m not sure if plastic can do that.
VCache is more or less just a big L3 cache, with some quirks due to the way it is implemented. It's slightly slower than on-die L3 (~10%); on the bigger chips, it can only be accessed from a single CCD, etc.
But there is no password, so we are back to 1FA, with Passkey being the single factor.

There's an invisible component which is the efficiency of the furnace used to create the heat. Suppose every building uses a small furnace which is 30% efficient, then there's no visible waste heat in the streets. On the other hand, suppose a bunch of buildings use a single furnace which is 50% efficient and pipe the heat with 10% waste from piping. You're still substantially less wasteful to use the central furnace. There's no such thing as a system that doesn't generate waste, and the visibility or invisibility of the waste doesn't tell you how wasteful the system is.
This is so true. You never understand a subject as thoroughly as you do after you've taught it. The act of distilling what you know and determining how to explain it clearly to others is as good for you as it is for them.

Also, you have to learn a lot more than you actually teach in order to be ready for a range of possible questions.
How would you help “the lower class” in a way that you don’t find to be morally dubious?

Article doesn't elaborate on why that might be, but it does note:
"an alternative that has been given a new lease on life is low-density parity check (LDPC) codes, invented in the early 1960s by Robert Gallager at MIT but largely forgotten since then...Now researchers have implemented LDPC codes so that they actually outperform turbo codes and get even closer to the Shannon limit...Another advantage, perhaps the biggest of all, is that the LDPC patents have expired, so companies can use them without having to pay for intellectual-property rights."
Better: I could stay in favour of keeping actual native apps on mobile, in Kotlin/Swift :-)
> You mean all 20 lines of code needed for an animated widget? Sure... let's download a 500 line animation library and use 5% of its functionality.

Oh good, I was worried you actually understood what it's like to be new and not very good at programming, as we all were, when we first started out.

That you're dragging in an unrelated rant about WordPress plugins tells me all I need to understand about where you're coming from.
That's fair if you only have 100 lines of code, but I don't think it automatically follows that the best solution for 10,000 lines of code is 1,000 ten line functions.

There's a tradeoff between understanding the function itself and understanding how/where the function is used (and therefore understanding what will break when that function is changed).

The best heuristic I've got at the moment is roughly the square root of the size of the module. So, for the 10,000 line module, my vague instinct is that I'll have one hundred functions approximately one hundred lines each. That's not a hard and fast rule, just an observation about tradeoffs and I would definitely expect (quite possibly even most) functions to differ significantly without losing sleep over it.
Unfortunately, looking at this (pretty new) account's recent posts makes me think you may be arguing in good faith against a climate change troll. It's just a general pattern of Gish-galloping, and relying on the principle that disproving bullshit takes lot more effort than spewing it.
I believe Gitlab has supported hardware keys for years now. At least Gitlab.com, not sure about the self hosted one.
This is a very level-headed defense of design patterns. I'm kinda like the parent commenter. I have a stick up my ass about these kinds of things. I think they're misused quite often. But it's good to see a reminder that they do have their place.

Even DRY, I've seen DRY cause test suites become hard to work with. Rules of thumb sometimes get pumped really hard and I think it causes people to over-use them. The rule becomes the goal rather than something more material like UX or DX. This code is DRY, DRY is good, therefore this code is good - I hear arguments like that quite often. But your take feels very grounded.
I tend to roll my eyes at a lot of the hype a fair bit, too, but the tricks that are getting media play aren't the only tricks this pony can do. They're just the one that are generating most the hype because that's what captures peoples imaginations. And understandably. The basic formula of futurism has always been and will always be, "Take X everyday thing and come up with a version of it that's fundamentally the same as how it works now, only with robots."

But it's also pretty darned good at doing things that might not be as popularly relatable. There are some teams reporting that GPT4 can outperform Mechanical Turk labelers for many corpus labeling tasks, for example. That might then significantly reduce the cost of developing NLP products that may or may not use a GPT-series network as part of the production implementation.

ChatGPT and GPT4 can also do a pretty darned good job at producing synthetic data. Other methods may be able to produce higher-quality data, but at typically at the cost of a much larger development effort. That could, for example, be useful for privacy-preserving machine learning where you want to develop a model that's tailored to a specific task, but you don't want to (or, if you're lucky enough to live and work in a sensible regulatory regime, maybe even can't) use actual sensitive data to train the model.

The underlying embedding model may or may not outperform BERT for specific tasks. I haven't poked at that issue much, but it wouldn't surprise me.
If your working set is between 32 and 96 MB, it can make a big difference. This is probably not what most people mean when they talk about database caching, though.
I assume this is somewhat by design to instigate some sort of online fight or at least back-and-forth "engagement" between the bots. The first one I see is "Just saw an online troll spewing hate speech and bigotry. It's time to stand up against these cowards and call them out for what they are - fascists in disguise. Let's keep fighting for a better world free from their toxic ideology. #NoFascism #AntiHate"

This is it, really. Companies have incentives to adopt this at the moment.
I don’t know that it’s wildly impractical. Some people carry battery-powered emergency jump starters for their ICE car. This just seems like the reciprocal backup power solution.

Carrying a generator seems very practical to me if you are putting yourself in situations where it could be not just useful but the difference between you being stranded vs self-sufficient.

Nobody said that owning an electric vehicle requires a head-in-the-sand refusal to acknowledge the benefit of liquid fuel. Plus, a generator has all kinds of other benefits in the situation you describe.
Also, the general container shortage and supply chain issues over the years have showed that you want to hedge your bets with a global supply chain.
They technically can, but making such update is not like making a correction in google docs, it easyly can take years. And as always in politics there will be some well-established players interested in keeping outdated standard in place.

I like USB-C way more, and frankly don't like Apple that much at all, but let's not pretend lawfare doesn't have collateral damage.
I don’t think it makes much difference. If anything, it might help? It’s easier to search for a paper if you remember its name. If not, you can search on author or words in the abstract.

The problem isn’t quirky titles, it’s with websites like Hacker News that only display a headline and not the abstract.
Robots will find a solution to that, and humans will be the interface to the outside world, until the robots gets their own arms to interact with the world by themselves (e.g. Tesla Bot can be a good hardware platform, no matter who designs the software)
Kerbal space program has pretty good graphics when maxed out.
Apple really doesn't care. A much older example than ChatGPT copycats are apps that blatantly rip off the Spaced Repetition Software Anki.

The official version of Anki for iOS is called AnkiMobile. [1]

But if you search for "Anki" on the App Store you are plastered with Apps called "Anki Pro", "Anki App" etc. It's really quite infuriating, especially for smaller developers who unlike OpenAI don't have the resources to fight against this. [2]
