I did state that nobody is entitled to effectively compete with behemoth companies. They’re going to have to put in the work.

Every behemoth company you see today did not start out that way. Apple was a couple guys in a garage. At that time, IBM was almost 100 years old, had revenues in the tens of billions and was sending hardware and software into outer space with government contracts. Guess how that company started out?

It’s also revealing that you think $10K is a low barrier to entry to a risky business with razor thin margins. And it’s also quite hard work, in terms of physical labor and ongoing time commitment. Most of my life that kind of lump sum was unthinkable, and I have to imagine it still is for many. Yet even in the face of that, some people do find a way.

They should do so with smartphones as well, if they feel strongly about it. I think the scales match in terms of barrier to entry to expertise if you want to compare delis and smartphone manufacturing.

I think the problems with your comparison are at least twofold:

1) it’s much much easier, in a technical sense, to start a deli vs manufacture a smartphone. Just in Apple, there have been tens to hundreds of millenia of person-time poured into the company.

and 2) most people with the expertise necessary to do so are happy with the options available today and would rather spend their time solving other as-yet unsolved problems.
Because Mister Offensive Tone, I know that there are trade offs to everything and sacrifices to be made with each choice. And I am not convinced that all that time I spent learning those other languages was spent wisely.

I have also noticed by moving to a country which is hyper focused on everyone learning many languages that it creates a ton of resentment and loss of other abilities, for example reduced STEM skills.

So the opportunity cost is real.
the current gov is the previous gov… and macron has been in the,government before the previous one as its economy minister (and he was widely considered as its most important member) and before that he was in the comission atali under sakorzy. so we have the same people and the same school of thought governing france since 2008.

and guess what ? theres a reason our gdp per ppp did not move from 2008 while other countries got wealthier. our wealth got distributed to shareholders of companies like doctolib so that you can praise how good it is to book online a random doctor - again with no way to get feedback or review from patient like in the us system for instance - then struggle even more to get a first appointment because doctors dont take new patients and now that everything is digital you cant even go there or call to discuss your case.

i reckon its better for you as a foreigner that did not live in france to see how it was before. 10 years in france and,you know already what is best for 90% of its people, you either shareholder of doctolib or linked to the gov. every IT person at ameli would tell you they ve been gutted, their data scrapped by doctolib . doctolib only exist because massive money went in so that private shareholder can get wealthy using french citizen health data and you see it as progress?
True. During the Golden Age, most Persian scholars and scientists had to write their books in Arabic to preserve them in libraries. Most Persians had to choose Arabic names. That's why when people see a Persian mathematician like this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_Musa_al-Khwarizmi, they might think he was Arab.

Fun fact: The word "Algorithm" comes from this guy's name!
As a French I wonder what your are talking about.
Just curious, do you happen to have a rubric for determining whether an addiction is legitimate or not? If so, what is it?
I pay them for the family plan. Being able to share items with my wife and kids (particularly joint accounts) is extremely useful, and they do it without creating two classes of passwords (like LastPass, my previous vault).

BTW, the paid accounts provide TOTP code storage, more comprehensive password health reports, emergency vault access for others, hardware key support, someone to call with problems[0], and encrypted file sending.[0]

This is a common trope on Hacker News. Nothing is ever free enough, and no one is ever satisfied.

As many people pointed out, if you don't fall into the sales funnel, the business does not care about you anyway.

Still, I wish that browsing the internet didn't feel like being a tourist in a bazaar.
it is their mistake that they didn't choose a good name for ChatGPT or for gpt3 or 4

thay already have dalle and codex they should have given the chatbot a more patentable name
Ask HN: What's with the culture of suppression of dissenting views?
I've been on this site for over a decade, under different names. Generally I've found it to be one of the better tech-focused and smart online communities. However, I've recently caught myself self-censoring and avoiding sharing provocative or speculative opinions, since they immediately get downvoted (often without any explanation). It seems like there's now a culture of conformity that punishes for dissenting views. Is it (A) in my head, (B) an inevitable stage of all maturing communities, or (C) something else like the state of the world at large?
You do realize that western policies to this day have emboldened the mullahs in power? These sanctions just increase their control, and US govt obviously knows it. So much border trade occurs in spite of the actions, and mullahs garner more control. Nuclear deal was another case.
No, people won't consume less, as long as they have the same disposable income.
Unless you mean that this will hurt the economy and people will become poorer. In that case yes, they will consume less, but not sure how it can be seen as a nice side effect.

Hard to set a price without knowing the details (screen size, UX, etc). Roughly, for a well reviewed product like this, I’d be willing to pay something in the iPad mini - iPad pro range.

Repurposing here would mean regular screen, i.e. not eink; I’m not interested in that.
to be fair, given that it's an entire continent, there's endless spaces where you can live in perfect peace and quiet

but that would be in solitude, not near any urban life lol

in urban spaces in Australia you're all but guaranteed having to deal at the very least with hooning and inconsiderate neighbours (I've lived in many different countries and Australia def stands out in how incredibly inconsiderate and aggressive people can be, and how large the share of the population are like that, lol)
They make their AI accessible to anyone. Sounds pretty open to me. Maybe not for developers, since they associate „open“ with open source, but surely for everyone else.
Surely the UI code is what responds to clicking "reveal" and therefore, if compromised, could fetch the secret even without a click?
I'm not sure how to interpret the "GDP per working hour" metric. Are people in Ireland significantly more productive than people in other countries? Or how do we explain Ireland's significant lead on those charts? It sounds as vague or as useful as "the average temperature of all patients in a hospital". Also, the two links you provided show very different ranking of countries.

At the same time, I don't know how to properly measure human productivity. I mean, how do you compare productivity of people working at OpenAI to productivity of people working at Walmart?
A certain webhost requires me to Authenticator for 2FA, and I did so. I also configured my iPhone to delete unused apps. Authenticator was unused, and got deleted, so naturally, I had to open a support ticket with the webhost to remove 2FA to regain access to my webhost account. I hope this feature will maintain my setup if the app gets deleted.
I'm surprised you didn't find my library because I managed to create a statically typed vocabulary library for Go that maps the specification verbatim: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-ap/activitypub#Object

It wasn't easy indeed, and it locked me out of some options to support execution time vocabulary extensions, but hey, it works and it's relatively easy to use.
The problem with pleasing new costumers is that you might fail to gain old customers.

In case MS marketing reads this thread: you can simply fix the outstanding, sore-thumb problems with your product in its own way and gain both types of customers. Instead of poorly mimicking something they never wanted in the first place.
Wow, that link is such a great example of Google's "support."

"This channel is for troubleshooting Google devices. It is best to report this with YouTube support for better assistance. [...] I'll be locking this thread after 24 hours."

...just because the initial report contained the keyword 'YouTube', presumably. The reporter clarified the situation, and a different "support" team member comes in and regurgitates the same canned response! On Google's side, why even bother replying at all if that's all you're going to do?
I wear noise cancelling headphones to sleep. When I wake up I feel immensely better, I recommend it!
I speak Russian fluently but I wish I didn't. I don't find it beautiful and the information that I've involuntarily consumed in Russian throughout all my life did more harm than good.

Overall, I am fluent in 4 languages, 2 were acquired early from the environment, 1 in my childhood, and 1 as an adult. Only English proved to be truly useful in life and it is the only language that I actually enjoy using. I dream of living in an English-speaking country and never touching any other language again. I know, it's a weird sentiment.

That makes some sense for PCs connected to some kind of landline, but IMHO if you have the source IP of a mobile device running Snapchat, in most setups you'd only be able to determine their cell phone network provider, the IP address seen upon exiting the mobile network control plane shouldn't expose the cell tower or anything else, the IP connections (and thus the address) of the device should even stay the same as it moves from one city to another.
This target should just shift to fulfilling pickup/delivery orders only.
> It's a read-only linux on a fixed hardware platform

I have heard that argument about macOS a lot, and this is nothing like that. There isn't some "special sauce er... Source" that they apply to their platform. It's just GPL Linux. They may have avoided bad decisions like relying on NVIDIA for Linux gaming, but that's hardly the level of ownership that you see with other vertical integrations. If I use an AMD CPU (or Intel, which would be arguably better) and AMD GPU, there is no reason why my PC couldn't be just as "first-party" as the Steam Deck.

Wine/Proton ultimately access the GPU through DRM, that remains the same for Valve hardware or custom-built hardware. Both Steam and Wine/Proton currently render via X11 (via XWayland if necessary), on both my PC and the Steam Deck.

I feel like there is a gap of understanding how a HAL works here.

The average American has somewhere around 4 hours a day of phone screen time, that's a serious issue for society at large. Tech companies have done exceptionally well at gamifying social media, which results in more screen time because it gives our brain dopamine.

Walk around without your phone, and you'll probably notice that you find yourself checking your pocket to pull-out your phone, at least I do.

The first episode of Connections—"The Trigger Effect"—plus times I've read here and other places that the destruction of a lot of critical power infrastructure in a big chunk of just the US could leave power off for weeks before replacements can be procured, even with the whole rest of the world functioning fine, make me... pessimistic that we'll do very well, in such a situation.

No clue what sort of plans major governments have for it. Hopefully they have some. We're incredibly dependent on electricity—the point of that Connections episode was largely that human history is a series of events in which we take on some critical new technology, it permits a huge boom in productivity/population/whatever, and from then on, we're flat-out dependent on it to avoid disaster—and that, now (for 1978 values of "now"), electricity has become one of those things that we have to have or most of us will die.
Ask HN: Best tutorials, blogs, etc. for utilizing ChatGPT to code?
Programmers who effectively use ChatGPT/GPT4/GPT-N will out-compete programmers who don't use these tools.

So, it seems worthwhile to become very good at prompting these language models to write code.

Are there any good blog posts, tutorials, etc. at how to best build large applications using these LLMs?

I seem to recall a interview w/ someone who uses ChatGPT a while ago, but I can't find it anymore.
Yup, jumpstart Pro is amazing...
And your point is what exactly?

Literally every ML model is a transformer. Every single one of them. All of them are transformers. Using the word “transformer” to refer to a specific architecture is therefore absurd.

This is very different than naming a computer company Apple or Blackberry.
Every major mobile game company has psychologists on hand to design mobile experiences that are more addictive than what would be allowed in American casinos.

Machine learning and adaptive gameplay ensures that players are always on the verge of the next dopamine hit, and when the time is right, a pay to win screen is shoved in their face.

People spend hundreds of dollars on mobile experiences that they actively do not enjoy, it is behavioral manipulation of the worst sort.

We need more regulation. For starters, gacha game mechanics should be banned. After that, adaptive algorithms should be looked into. It is really easy for a ML algorithm to find someone who is depressed and start feeding them more and more depressing content, ensuring engagement. Same goes for extremism of any type, or really any extreme ends of the human psychological spectrum, except, and this may be a sad statement on the nature of humanity, of positive emotions, the activation which do not create long term engagement.

> If an ActivityPub server only receives and sends some opaque BLOBs what's the whole point of it?

There's still a difference between "try to black-box the incoming data as much as possible" and "treat the incoming data as opaque BLOBs and assume". The data is mostly JSON-LD which is a far cry from "binary large objects". It is always going to be "semi-transparent" as it will always be JSON. Whether or not you like the "-LD" extensions to JSON (they are heavy, they do have a lot of RDF baggage you may not desire), they give you a bunch of guaranteed "baseline schema" for the JSON objects that you can use for static typing that might be "good enough" for a lot of "meaningful manipulations" (such as following links to pick up related objects; LD => linking data) and that is all easily transparent.

A lot of the schemas beyond "LD" in ActivityPub are client/application-specific beyond most of the JSON-LD basics and should be easy to treat as a black box unless doing client/application-specific tasks. That's not necessarily "stringly typed", it's kind of a classic "serialization onion": The server at best needs to know that it is JSON and it may have JSON-LD metadata for relevant related linked objects (and a few other metadata fields common to "introspection", similar to "headers"). The client can dig deeper and know it is not just "any" JSON object but a more specific schema for a given class of thing the client cares about.
Neither is flexible, nor strives for completion. They are both implementations that try to map the ActivityPub vocabulary on an existing web-application domain.

They are not ActivityPub servers, but web-apps that use the ActivityPub vocabulary to federate, which is what I meant in the grandparent post when I mentioned the classic mistake of ActivityPub implementers. :D
This is the issue I'm having as well. I've been a standalone customer that's been paying since 2007, if I can't host my own vault either locally or in Dropbox - I'm out.

I was hoping to use 1P 7 for as long as I can, but with the Chrome extension dying it's going to become unusable. What have you found as an alternative?
yeah and all the illegal work is being done in residential because of onerous regulations..
>freedom exists only to the extent that there is a government enforcing boundaries on freedom to prevent it from turning into anarchy

No, it doesn't. Which is trivial to prove, considering we have had widely available encryption for two decades now with no anarchy or encryption fueled societal collapse in sight. Actually, countries without backdoor laws are some of the most prosperous and safe places on earth. And even western countries that have decided to chase after the encryption boogeyman (Australia, for example) didn't experience a drop in crime rates.
At the time, JSP was more cost-effective than Bullet Train, and the early adoption of Tailwind was also significant.
Is it really a "treehouse" if it has nothing to do with a tree? I would call this an awesome rocket playset, and really wish I had something half this fun and sophisticated when I was a kid. I think the shaker/rumbler synced with the lights is my favorite part.
> SMS as suitable second factor

It could be suitable, within certain boundaries, but no, given that sim swapping just means bribing (or simply social engineering with a crude fake ID) a minimum wage worker at a mall store, anyone whose identity is worth more than $50 to steal should never even consider it.

For example, if it could only be initiated from a browser where you have successfully signed in on at least two different days, or from a residential IP where you were seen recently.

I would much rather see a mailed postcard, as the last-resort fallback to a TOTP. Better to be locked out of your account for 4 days waiting for the mail, than to be locked out of it indefinitely while the criminal has full access.

> my government issued identity and utilize the strong authentication provided by government for account recovery.

Yes, that seems so obvious and yet to my American ears it sounds almost like science fiction. People here unironically argue that a national ID card is the Mark of the Beast from the Bible.
Yeah, because I’m discussing that with the guy I was critiquing. You may notice I put my opinion on the substance of the conversation in my original reply.
Curious why they all have human forms/facial features. Seems more of a projection of the individual's mind_experiences than of interdimensional beings
The other day I was watching Neil deGrasse Tyson on Joe Rogan show and he was talking about Islamic Science and how Algebra, Astronomy, etc. come from Islam. I was baffled as an Iranian. I get that there is this anti muslim rhetoric lurking around and these people are trying to fight it. I assume they are well intentioned but in doing so they are doing the same thing that they advocate against.

But I like your point of view.

Couldn't find the video but found this on wikipedia:

> The earliest known live performance of the song was on Halloween night of 1975, opening for Sun Ra.[3] The released recording of this version is seven minutes long.[3] However, according to a 1997 interview with Mark Mothersbaugh, they performed a half-hour rendition of the song as a joke to annoy the crowd: "We'd play 'Jocko Homo' for 30 minutes, and we wouldn't stop until people were actually fighting with us, trying to make us stop playing the song. We'd just keep going, 'Are we not men? We are Devo!' for like 25 minutes, directed at people in an aggressive enough manner that even the most peace-lovin' hippie wanted to throw fists."[4]

Edit: here's the audio only version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82j12E3cpS4

Our plane of reference for our coworkers and interactions with them is now confined to the two-dimensional nature of our screens, rather than the three-dimensional world we "used" to see and interact with them in.

Just because rich people might like something, doesn’t make it not true.
Only very rich corporations like FOSS community can simultaneously support two DEs (especially when one of them never changes too much). Microsoft has neither budget nor enough staff for that.
