This is why I love HN. There is always a learning.

I never knew there were other models than HTML's box model.
It doesn’t get the same love as the wct and consequently is in worse shape. Easy to bail at any point though.
Makes sense, given Rob Pike was one of Limbo's creators.
The trick is to go into search settings and select “videos.” All the other sections go away.

You have to do it each time, though. I’ve heard there’s a browser addon to do it automatically, but I didn’t install it.

My personal take is that faster language do not necessary make you think more in algorithms and efficiency.

But people here just dislike algorithms and love to flag me. They gonna embrace their slow architecture in rust rather than do a better job in python.
There is also something about galactic habitable zones that is interesting: maybe the Fermi paradox is explained by alien civilization only appearing in galactic fringes, and therefore spread well apart.
Yes, the inner link to the Yoav Go writeup is the gem here, concisely explaining the benefits of RLHF-scoring over mere prediction.

Though, as Go speculates, it's likely possible to reduce even further the HF ("human feedback") part, while still reshaping the model to have the helpful qualities.

My guess is there's a rich set of potential ways to this – automate that extra level of distinction between mere "exact token prediction" & "sufficiently valuable responses" – & OpenAI probably has a few undisclosed advances here as part of their GPT4 training/tuning.

In particular, Go's suggestion that a separately tuned LLM can do a fuzzier scoring of whether an answer is "close enough" to an idealized answer seems like the sort of promising ensemble approach that will have been an obvious next step for most LLM teams, probably being tried by many independent teams right now.
Search has a cost. You can either pay for your searches and own your results or have someone else, a complete stranger, pay for your searches and have the results be in their best interest.

Free market made it, if you're asking me. As for the consequences, I'm not really worried. Nothing it's produced has scared me any more than the rest of capitalism's horrorshow. Frankly, the fact that this garbage isn't coming from a human is a relief to me. If postcapitalist society ends with humanity fearing progress, then I welcome the irony with open arms.
Google released some Fuschia powered smart home devices. I believe that’s roughly the extent of its deployment thus far.

As somebody who’s hiked the length of the Pacific Crest Trail, I can say the West Coast Trail is very different from a walking trail. Basically a km feels like a mile on that trail. Everything is slippery, and steep. It wasn’t designed as a hiking trail it was an escape route for shipwrecks.
You are correct, Kagi current users are mostly from the remaining 1%. However that plan was made to attract the remaining 99% Internet users to Kagi (and the plan is more than sufficient for their needs).
I use NixOS+GNOME+pop-shell for tiling windows on Linux, and I love it!

I am quite frequently on MacOS, and I use Yabai[0] and skhd[1], managed with Nix-Darwin[2] for tiling windows and custom keyboard shortcuts. With how I make my Linux and MacOS builds look and feel identical it's pretty easy for me to forget when I'm on one vs the other.

For anyone curious, here's my repository for deploying my configs[3]. It's awesome to have one source of truth for managing NixOS servers and workstations, MacOS workstations, and other Linux workstations with Nix installed.

the point is that you have to want to in the first place. This is kind of like looking at “the flame” or some other modern art and saying “yeah that’s easy, I could have done that.” It’s missing the point entirely.
Anti-crypto crowd suffers from confirmation bias and are a classic example of Dunning-Kruger effect. Any research that doesn't conclude the worthlessness of crypto is not valid research.
Sincere question. While you're sure you aren't doing what you remember managers doing back when you were an IC, do you actually know that your ICs don't think of you the same way that you used to think about managers?

In my experience the managers who are most convinced that they are doing well who are least likely to take negative feedback well, and are likewise least likely to recognize that they actually just did all the things they think they don't do. It is only the ones who have a lot of self-doubt that I've seen actually do well on this.

And skip level meetings are scary. Because if I have any positive feelings at all about my manager, their manager is the LAST place I want to tell anything negative to. (I only made that mistake once...)
Yeah I was actually hoping for an answer that doesn't require blind trust.

So the correct answer seems to be "we absolutely could link your searches to your identity, but we promise that we won't; however, you cannot verify that we are keeping that promise".

Which I'm afraid is not good enough. To be clear, I'm not saying that they are lying, and indeed I have no reason to suspect they are. But I'm looking for technological privacy, not contractual privacy.

Not surprising. From my experience GPT-4 will fill gaps in request, not all of them. But if you want something specific - put it in prompt. Or you may not get it. Be ready to do things yourself. Even writing something like Pac-Man clone requires many iteration. After a few steps GPT-4 will forget interfaces and variables it already created. So, you will have to rename and glue pieces together.

The main problem I see with GPT-4 is that it does one small thing at a time. I have to manually drive it making the right requests.
Reading that article really makes me never want to go back to being a manager. It was almost everything I disliked and found stressful about the job. That I don't really understand why others find being a manager appealing is probably the best sign that it's not for me.
For you or anyone else that has numbness in the hands, a neck x-ray could be enlightening. As we hunch a lot we start to deform the cervical spine into pinching the nerves that run all the way down our arms into our hands. Problems in the neck area often manifest as symptoms anywhere in the hands, arms, and shoulders. Treatment varies, but I personally find a cervical dennerroll quite helpful.

The best thing about Kagi I've found from trying it recently is that it's results are actually really good.

Every time I'd tried DuckDuckGo over the years I found myself having to switch back to Google because I was never sure that there weren't better results going missing. Whereas Kagi often ends up with better rankings than Google—eg. Goodreads, which is great for real reviews, gets placed above all the random booksellers websites.

I still have to pay per month basis, I just want to pay once and forget about it.
Why not just have a payment method that isn't linked to you?
I easily do dozens of searches per day, occasionally hundreds, especially when debugging obscure issues. It shouldn't be the most expensive subscription I've got by far. Well it could be, but I better not have to go to google or something else to get answers, and it's not quite there yet.
The purpose of a good primitive is that it can be cleanly composed. Both files and streams of bytes have these properties, because the primitive allows code written by different people / teams / orgs to interact due to the common primitives. The higher level your primitives, the larger your api surface, and the less likely they are to be composable. Do you really want that? I certainly don’t.
Planetside 2 (2012), and formerly the original Planetside (2003). They're both heavily community-oriented games. 2 has gameplay somewhat similar to Battlefield.

Edit: To expand on what I mean by community-oriented, here's a genealogy of the different outfits (equivalent of a clan/guild) on one of the Planetside 2 servers: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/887173952080863253/91....

This topic misses the forest for the trees. Even if there is a cognitive difference in people who speak multiple languages, the magnitude of the advantage/disadvantage pales in comparison to the far more impactful difference in the understanding of the world that proficiency in another language gives you.

If you're a monolingual American born English speaker and you learn Chinese and go live in China for a year, you're going to come back with a much different understanding of Chinese culture and its people. Who cares if your IQ went up or down half a point on account of learning to speak mandarin- your understanding of the lives of billions of people just increased dramatically. That's why it's good to learn a language- culture, not cognition.
A watermark is absolutely possible - see for example some of the work Scott Aaronson has mentioned doing for OpenAI.

But: very fragile, especially if people are specifically trying to hide their GPT use, or have access to the watermarking algorithm or online oracle.

And: other methods – like remembering all output ever, or fuzzy summary representations of all output ever – seem to me similarly fragile, & introduce other problems & impracticalities.

A guess: OpenAI internally initially shared the common concern that "consuming its own junk outputs" could be a problem. But their own experiments so far, private & public, may have convinced them it's not as much of a problem in practice as it seems in theory. The model outputs have a mix of good and bad text – just like the pre-LLM internet. And, the same filterings/weightings that have worked on pre-LLM content keep working. And, counter to some early intuitions, often one LLM's quality output is in fact very-useful input for other later LLMs.
You can check the Alpaca and Vicuna models, GitHub repositories, and papers.
They're looking at people who likely grew up as bilingual, who they say are not generally smarter than those who only know one language. There should still be cognitive benefits to learning new languages as an adult, just as learning any new skill.
For those interested in something self hosted and open source, try SearXNG. I've hosting an instance from my NAS for over a year, it's been excellent, and I retain full control over my search history (or lack thereof)
You are correct, the ascent of ChatGPT and its impact on the search industry has been substantial. Fortunately, the swift commoditization of models (and rising pressure from open-source) is reducing their potential influence to pricing, quicker than we initially anticipated.

On the other handm, we were forced to reassess our approach due to the situation with Bing, which led us to invest further in alternative partnerships and strengthen our own infrastructure. And despite the challenges this transition presented, it ultimately instilled a renewed sense of optimism in our team.

The most difficult aspect of this process has been receiving emails from customers who felt let down by the way we managed the change. We are committed to learning from this experience and improving our communication and execution in the future.
My guess those queries are being collected too.
You may not need government to mandate EV chargers. You may need government to remove barriers to deploying them, and that will require some nice encouragement and some not-so-nice arm twisting.

To install EV charging, unless you’re planning on generating your own energy on site, you’re likely going to procure power from your local utility, most of which are monopolies that are heavily regulated by your state utility commission.

Some estimates say it could cost utilities up to $5,380 per EV to upgrade the electrical infrastructure to support them [1]. Although utilities will earn more revenue through selling electricity, this will not completely offset the infrastructure investment. Will the costs be paid by ratepayers, some of whom may not have an EV? Your state utility commission may balk at that.

Of course federal incentives exist to offset costs, but many programs require participation by your state executive branch, who may not be in lock step with federal policy. Your state utility commission may not be in lock step with your state administration. If you can get agreement with your state policy makers, your utility will have to be employed to expand grid access. They may expect certain amount of consumption to make it worth their while, which you may not be able to provide for a few years until EVs gain adoption. Some utilities will charge you extra too if you use too much electricity, called demand charges, to disincentive consumption. Utilities will have their own schedule to build out the infrastructure, which may not match yours. They’re also a monopoly, so you can’t exactly shop around. Then you have the code and permitting requirements of the municipality your setting up the infrastructure in. The permitting process also follows their schedule, not yours.

With EV charging we have a massive coordination problem, with actors you can’t choose who aren’t strictly driven by market incentives. You’ll need some kind of combination of carrots (tax breaks and grants) and sticks (fines and penalties for slow walking a process) to make the infrastructure needed to support wide EV adoption.

Ask HN: Is it possible to swap two signed integers in C without a third variable
The standard tricks of using arithmetic or xor don't work because both have potentially undefined behavior on some values of signed integers.

If sizeof(int) were guaranteed to be sizeof(unsigned int) then maybe a cast could do it:
(unsigned int )&a = (unsigned int )&a ^ (unsigned int )&b;
(unsigned int )&b = (unsigned int )&a ^ (unsigned int )&b;
(unsigned int )&a = (unsigned int )&a ^ (unsigned int )&b;

What would be a general solution? Is there a way to use the preprocessor to spit out sizeof(int) lines that do bitwise xor on every respective byte in a and b?

Also not surprised. I was impressed with how many older people played World of Warcraft just for the social life. Can't get 3 folks over for bridge? No problem, fire up the computer.

Put a bunch of older guys in the world of Horizon Zero Dawn to go out machine hunting, I'm sure they would be all for it. Add a crafting/building component so that groups could build villages and what not (minecraft meets HZD meets Counter Strike) kind of environments, it would be much more fun that sitting around watching the TV right?
I’ve been using Kagi for multiple months and due to advocacy I made few people pay for it too, but I’m completely disheartened by their business model.

The whole explanation of the recent “we want to stay afloat” was weird, unexpected (price doubling with my usage, to 20$/mo) and felt untrue (ordinary user doing 30 searches per day?). I felt like it was written by Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler - made sense but also very abstract and shifting responsibility to the customer.

In the end I ran stats how many of Kagi results were on spot (i.e. weren’t repeated in other search engines). It was around half, probably ones that I “didn’t pay for”.

I was ready to move back to DDG but an acquaintance recommended Brave search to me (which has its own index). I was reluctant to use it due controversial opinions about them. Not only I found it more pleasant to use, but also the results are (in my opinion) slightly better than Kagis.

Edit: To provide additional context - I was using Kagi as daily driver, and I make 200-500 searches per day (that includes duplicate queries to other search engines)
It seems more and more plausible that OpenAI chose 2021-09 as a cut-off date was intentional. Because GPT-3 generated output was released into the wild after that.
Some context from top of my head.

In the 90s our sector started to look (again) at VMs as viable alternatives for software platforms. The most prominent example of that is Java. But Inferno was born at the same time at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean[0], sharing the same goals: an universal platform intended for set-top boxes, appliances and the like, with the same write once, run everywhere philosophy.

Inferno programs ran on top of a VM called Dis and programs were written in Limbo (designed by Rob Pike). If you use Go nowadays, you're using a descendant of Limbo, as both share a lot of syntax and concepts (and Limbo descended from Aleph, by Rob Pike too, but that's another story)

Going back to 90s. This space was in a very "exploratory" state then, and any technology had to probe it's superiority to gain adoption. For example, Inferno creators implemented Java on Dis[1] simply to demonstrate how fast was Dis vs the JVM.

I don't know exactly why things were the way the went, but I suppose Sun had more deep pockets to push it's technology and Inferno ended as a the rarity we have today.

From a pure tech standpoint, I've studied the Dis VM to write my own (incomplete) interpreter[1] and, IMHO, it's design is far less abstract than the JVM. It seems to be too low level and tied to that era processor design. That make it less future proof (but that's only my own point of view, of course)

Just a datapoint, but I feel like I do a lot of searches… I’m always looking stuff up, and I’m also in the habit of using my search engine as a lazy form of autocomplete for urls. I apparently do about 700 searches a month according to Kagi. If I were on the basic plan, I think that would mean I’d be paying $5/mo. + $0.015/search * (700-200) searches/mo. = $12.50/mo.

For what search is worth to me, that seems reasonable. (Or I guess more to the point, how much I value a relationship where I’m the customer, rather than companies expressly interested in using psychological manipulation to influence my behavior…)
Crazy to me that garbage collection systems are a subject of continual evolution and discussion. You'd think it would be "solved" by now... Or is that just in Java world?
We don't really know that it's bad or just another thing our body can handle but I don't think we should conduct an experiment on such a grand scale without the slightest idea what it's effect will be on the human species. I definitely only drink filtered everything these days, but I knwo nothing will get it all (it's in food, the air, dust, etc etc.
> But when you ask it to follow a chain of thought and generate it in the output, the eventual conclusions it lands on is scarily human

I have tried this so many times for novel problems and no matter what I do, it eventually recognizes what we're trying to solve and determines it's unsolvable. Since nothing new comes out I can only attribute the times it does seem to do symbolic manipulation as regurgitation.
> Those adjustments are right in line with what you'd expect from a simple reduction of credit scores as a predictor.

It doesn't follow that pattern at all. Take a look at the heat map here: https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/news/01192023-big-llpa-cha...

Previously the rates were based on risk. The new rates are engineered to make it cheaper to get into homes with less money down (of all credit scores) or poor credit. It's subsidized by charging higher rates to people with good credit scores who put more money down.

Oh, and straight from the horses mouth: https://www.fhfa.gov/Media/PublicAffairs/Pages/FHFA-Announce...

That may be so, but if bilingualism is talking to your parents in kitchen Spanish without actually traveling anywhere, rather than learning the language of a culture that's alien to you so that you can spend an extended period of time there, is that just as enriching? Does an anglophone Canadian who learns French really expand their worldview that much? I'm not saying the answers to these questions are obvious "nos" but the assumption could stand some scrutiny.

I love these built in shortcuts. I’ve added Karabiner to remap caps lock to esc and ctrl (not for Vim) and also right cmd-hjkl for instant arrow key access.

Spotlight usually works for most of my needs as well.

It’s frustrating when an app overwrites built in shortcuts like in Intellij on Mac, searching for shortcuts in the menu bar search doesn’t allow opt-delete if I remember correctly.

Speaking of menu bar search… one of my favorite commands is opt-shift-/ to search available commands in the menu bar of an app.
