Using the Gmail API. It uses OAuth to authenticate. Google Cloud lets you create a custom OAuth login box for your “app”. You download a JSON file and the Python client code reads that and sends the user to a web browser to go through the OAuth flow. Then some kind of bearer token is stored in a dot file and your code has access to your Gmail…

Releasing a public app that has Gmail access requires a very expensive security audit by Google. But for a private internal app, of course you don’t need the audit.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I will just throw it up onto GitHub. It’s really a hastily thrown together dump of Python code. One of the ugliest things I ever produced from my keyboard.

Then again, it does work.
The visuals were a lot of fun, but I don’t understand why I, as a viewer/consumer/whatever of this sort of thing, would ever want these things:

> Unknown runtime

I like to know whether I’m going to have time to view all of something or not. I might want to set aside some time to watch something if it’s too long for the break I’m taking right now.

> No rewinding, no skipping ahead

Ugh. Just … no. If I saw something cool or missed something, I want to see it again without having to watch the preceding 20 minutes again. Also seems like the kind of thing that would eventually be used to try and force you to watch ads, which I don’t need in my life.

> Extremely dense patterns that would get destroyed by video compression

This I can understand! See also SVG.

> Moiré effects that change if you mess with the zoom setting on your browser

OK, if that’s your thing, go with it.

> Effects that change depending on if you're using flash player or Ruffle

So a friend might suggest I watch something, but then when I watch it, I might see something different if I just use a different player? That seems less than ideal.

Anyway, love the visuals, and we could use more stuff like that, but really dislike the above points.
This was Rails, years before Ruby mattered at all.

Back in 1999 I joined a startup (Intervento) that had a product based on the same ideas, we created our own Tcl module that could be plugged into either Apache or IIS, had a DB abstraction layer that would generate all CRUD stuff for each table for Informix, MSSQL, Sybase SQL, DB2, Access, Oracle, targeting Aix, HP-UX, Solaris, Windows NT/2000, (we also had Linux but it wasn't considered production ready), extensions could be furter coded in either Tcl or C, and we had an IDE written in VB 6.

We got acquired and became part of Altitude Software, eventually as MSFT partners we got early access to .NET and decided to port the same ideas into .NET, this gave us the performance that Tcl/C didn't deliver under very heavy loads, and Visual Studio.NET was better that what we managed to have with our in-house IDE.

Eventually some of Intervento founders left, and created what is nowadays known as OutSytems, one of the few successful low code companies.

It was a great experience, however as one the persons responsible to optimize Tcl code into C modules, and part of the .NET migration team, I learned to never consider languages without a JIT/AOT compiler for nothing serious beyond OS scripting tasks.
I'm 49, Prestel, BBS, Fido, Janet, Usenet, loads of other things..., MySpace, Facebook, Discord, TikTok, Hackernews, I go wherever, why so much dislike, the open web is not the the only network and for realtime authenticated communication it sux.
Because I read Greenspun's website so much, I was sure I would be writing Tcl for a career. Turned out I did far more photography (still don't own a plane).
Are you still waffling your nonsense on this thread?

Let me be very clear: the government has balked at every single initiative that would violate the Good Friday Agreement, for good reason. They’re not about to suddenly change tack here.

If the Government starting checking ferries from Belfast to Stranraer, unionists would start burning ports just like they did in 2021. You can’t provide evidence for any of your guesses because it doesn’t exist. I don’t know why you waste your time trying to continue the “debate.”

Not the job description Google has for engineers. Their hiring process effectively eliminates anyone who matches that description and bothers to put themselves through it.
I agree on the fact that you may have edge cases cropping up in production... still, in my experience this approach makes adjusting (either by introducing new States, or by altering the logic that guides a State Transition) much easier because you can reason about the problem in terms of a specific item and a specific State Transition at the time, even if this happens to 10k records at the same time, and there are another 10M records of different type and in different states.

I used a SM no more than six months ago to process vouchers and voucher redemption from a third party service and while we had no less than 10 changes after deploying in prod... each one was easy to analyze and the actual fix was like 2-3 lines of code.

The level of irony in saying the world is not black and white... then getting a reply that equates being happy with ChatGPT to not understanding unreliability's effect on a tool's usefulness.

Usefulness is not a binary value. One of the biggest advancements of 4 over 3.5 is that it's more reliable: that has made it significantly more useful.

—

I will say having to explain the relationship being reliability and usefulness tracks with why certain ethical voices just get ignored. At some point you need to be able to have some reasonable shared level of understanding to have a productive conversation.

When one side of the conversation thinks others are just so completely lost that they can't understand how something being unreliable makes it less useful... there's just not much productive conversation to be had.

A lot of places in the world have been deforested for fuel - and this was before coal. Do you really think biofuels from wood, cow fat, and algae ponds are going to make any difference? It's just a fantasy.

I am aware that most mainstream languages incorporated FP features. And they are the better for it.

But the topic of this discussion is PURE functional programming. See the following quote:

"same reason why it took some time for pure functional programming to take off too."

So when did that happen? Almost every codebase I see is imperative, either procedural or OO. They use mutable state, they use functions with side effects.

The reason why my argument above is built around PFP Languages, is because they are the only ones where pure functional codebases seem to exist from my PoV. I am happy to change my mind if you can point me towards major projects written in a PFP style in non PFP PLs.

It’s not related to personal theft, but to activation lock. Apple can (and will) lock these phones as well.
My phone (a samsung s21 ultra) was snatched from my hand while I was using it to check google maps in Barcelona. I tried to remote wipe it 5 minutes later at my hotel but it had already been disconnected. So the thief was very quick at removing the sim card.

I checked online since and it seems that even with the advent activation lock, there's still a lot of phone thefts in some countries. They just sell the spare parts and can make 100 to 200 euros between the screen and battery.

I'd imagine with John Deere tractors, there's quite a few parts that could be resold so an activation lock wouldn't necessarily reduce the value by that much.

No, the script just runs a Gmail search and iterates over the results. The workflow is as follows:

1. Send statement items to GPT to generate search queries for Gmail. (basically company names like “Adobe”)

2. Search Gmail using these queries and some search modifiers that are likely to winnow down the messages to those likely to contain invoices.

3. Send a snippet of the message to GPT and ask it whether the message seems like it might contain an invoice.

4. If so, parse the message and save any attachments or render the HTML body as a PDF and save that. Also grok the message for currency amounts so I can put the likely invoice total in the file name (this helps the accountants).

That’s the flow. GPT helped me write it all, of course.

From that post:

> It is not possible, in a normal distribution, to be multiple times the standard deviation away from the mean. However, it happens much more easily with a log normal.

Should that read it is not _impossible_ otherwise it is quite wrong. I mean it's a gaussian probability distribution you sure can be several standard deviations away from the mean, admittedly at smaller and smaller probability

> A 16 year old has a decade of vision input, knows tens of thousands of words, has a coherent theory-of-mind, and has self-preservation instincts honed over hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

No they don't. Where were you driving 23 days ago? Or, if you could categorize your driving data in your head, what did you pass, precisely, in the car while you were driving 96 hours ago? AI training data has all of this. It has perfect timestamps with 25-30 frames per second (or more in some cases, with multiple cameras feeding frames in to the dataset) with full 360 view in many cases, adding up to millions of man-hours of driving data from thousands of drivers, which is longer than any human lifespan. A lot of times this data is supplemented with IR representations or LIDAR representations of the environment as well, something a human can't even see.

> Similarly, driving AIs don't speak English, can't take instructions, and are simultaneously learning physics, theory-of-mind, the rules of the rode, and signage conventions without having agency during most of their training.

They're not learning that on their own. They're being poked and prodded by humans in the loop (and indeed, automated tagging tools) who have tweaked the models by adding numerical weights to "bad outcomes" and "good outcomes". Or "good categorizations" and "bad categorizations", or "aligned responses" and "unaligned responses". And because it's just a dumb statistical model, if you tell it the color blue is bad and that it should resist answering any questions related to the color blue, it will agree, because its entire heuristic model for organizing the world was designed by humans.

Similarly, it doesn't have a theory of mind. If it did, it would also have agency and it would already be AGI. Instead, it has access to examples of data of humans exhibiting theory of mind with other humans. And it's got enough parameters in its statistical model that it can accommodate a weighting for this "theory of mind" impact on what the expected output should be.

LLMs are nothing like an intelligent child raised in a black box. I mean, we already have examples of this, vis-a-vis being both blind and deaf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller.
With TSO and GRO, the CPU deals with jumbo frames and the NIC handles splitting and combining them.

From Nand to Tetris: Building a Computer from First Principles

> However, once you start growing and have the scale where you have dedicated teams of engineers operating your infrastructure, at some point it makes (economical and operational) sense to own your infra. For example, Instead of 10 different teams each having their own MSK setups to get a kafka experience spinning up so many instances for that occasional need, you could have a centralised kafka cluster operated by a central entity within the team. Instead of every team spinning up their own EKS clusters, and all the cruft associated with making it production ready, the company could set one way of running production services (and have a plan to be able to replicate that outside of AWS should there be a future need to).

If you have multiple teams spinning up MSK, then you have a different problem and running your own infra isn't going to make this easier. Same thing with EKS clusters. This is a problem with not having a team that manages your infrastructure platform.

Product engineers should own the software they write, should own deploying them (but not the infra that deploys them), should own the oncall (but not the observability infra), and should have access to relevant platforms they need.

Platform engineers should build the platform that platform engineers use. Usually this does not include the CI infrastructure, but in some cases it should.

SRE often owns the observability platform (but in some cases there's an observability team for this).

This is more the norm in large size companies, and usually those teams are split down into multiple other teams that own different parts of the infra that platform engineers depend on for their services. This is usually the case whether or not the company uses a cloud or runs their own infra.

When you run your own infra, you have to have expertise in all the things that you were previously using the cloud for. IMO running k8s yourself is asking for trouble, and EKS is saving you a lot of time and money. Running your own kafka is basically masochistic. Running your own database infrastructure is also extremely difficult, and you'll almost certainly have worse uptime than if you used Aurora (or DynamoDB).

Though you can save money running your own infra, you're going to have to hire people to run it, and you're going to have to plan further out, and will be less agile.

Tell HN: Eid Mubarak
To the Muslims on HN, Eid Mubarak! And to everyone else, Eid Mubarak!

For those who don't know. Eid is a day of celebration after the month of Ramadan, in which Muslims fasted for 30 days from sunrise to sunset with no food or water. It's something 2B people around the world celebrate to today or tomorrow (moon sighting permitted).

A note on Ramadan. To those interested in intermittent fasting, longevity, and coming back to a more human experience not drowning in technology, food and consumerism I would say check it out! After over 20 years of doing it I'm still learning something new every year, or I should say, unlearning bad habits we've created for ourselves as a society through abundance.

Hope you all have a great day!

My wife did a lot of research into this when we picked an engine for our website and she found that the API of ThreeJS breaks backwards compatibility a lot, while Babylon is exactly the opposite. Babylon also has vastly superior documentation and doesn't seem to suffer from lag spikes as much. However, it's an oldschool API (did I mention they really value backwards compatibility?) and requires quite a bit of learning to get going. Also, it's three times the size of ThreeJS, so bandwidth optimization is absolutely required.
Teen taal definitely, everyone loves that. Usually the first taal people begin to learn playing. I think you mean "ada chautaal"?

Yes the verbalization is called the "bol". "Bol" in hindi means things like "word", "speak", "lyrics", etc. Indian classical musicians don't use sheet music, so they have to orally pass down their teachings. The bol that Zakir Hussain (and all other tabla players) say _are_ the notes that they play. Word for word/note for note. Each sound on the tabla has its own name, which is expressed as an onomatopoeia like "dhin". Then you can verbalize the percussion you're about to play.

Here's a great composition being verbalized, explained, and played by Zakir Hussain and his brother.
As far as I understood, computers can not detect the autogenerated text, because if they could then devs are having some obvious ways to improve.

But since most of my reading time is books/whitepapers, I can distinct a great work of human work from anything else, but only in the disciplines I am interested in. This is as easy as detecting robot on phone.
What right to remain silent are you referring to? Can you link it?
I’m only sending GPT message snippets, which Gmail’s API make available - probably using a language model (LoL). So there is very little PII in the API calls to GPT. That being said, I think OpenAI has a very large incentive to carefully destroy any query data sent through its APIs. The last thing they need is for some employee to quit and spill the beans about how Sam Altman stays up late at night laughing at all the API calls revealing the trivial problems of humans with an IQ of less than 140.

> That’s why all of its API identifiers have the prefix `Ns_` (or `NS_` or `ns`, depending on the kind of identifier). Kind of like how (coincidentally) Apple’s Foundation and AppKit frameworks use the prefix `NS`, because those came from Nextstep.

I've always hated when APIs and types are prefixed like this. It doesn't play very well with autocompete.
Yes, EC2 is dope. But so is DynamoDB, MSK, EKS, SQS, SNS, SES, IAM, KMS, etc. If all you use is EC2, then you need to manage the equivalent of a large number of services that are high quality and well run, and you'll need staff with expertise in running them well.

"CATL has announced a new “condensed” battery with 500 Wh/kg which it says will go into mass production this year"

This is a lot more credible than most of the battery stories, because CATL is already producing a ton of batteries, lending them some credibility.

This is a little under 2x the density of current batteries.
