Protobuf, CloudEvents... Url based routing. Semi abstracted transport, atop http2, android binder, mqtt, amqp, and one I hadn't heard of DDS (Data Distribution Service, out of OMG).

Entity system. uTwin & uDiscovery are the two "core" entities. uSubscription uBus uStreamer and DPR are the communication layer entities. There's also uApps, Services, uDevices.

So each device seems to have a uBus. Attached are uApps (consumer), uServices (producer), a uSubscription, a uDiscovery, and a uStreamer. UStreamer connect device-to-device and/or device-to-cloud.

Didn't personal computers in general began as toys for hobbyists? Look where that got us...
Most graduates, especially engineers, are not seeing $200k out of school. HN is skewed highly towards people in FAANG and SF where salaries are out of the norm for most positions.

I know a few fresh out of school lawyers and they are right below $200k. I could imagine doctors in certain specialties are the only grads getting paid an average of $200k+.
If these visas are supposed to be granted to workers whose American counterparts are not available for whatever company wants to hire them, why make it so difficult? If this lottery thing is supposed to prevent American companies from exploiting foreign workers, you could simply force those companies to pay American grade salaries, instead of implementing some Kafkaesque workaround.
I haven't visited Ukraine or Russia in 10 years, but back then, you could buy USBs with all kinds of data at flea markets. Moscow would mostly have passport data, including international travelers. Odesa had addresses, job history, and so on.
Maybe a different example would help. If I support abortion, I can say "I support women's health care". Without context you'd think the statement had nothing to do with abortion, so you've got to add context to understand it. It's also ambiguous because what I'm saying and what I mean are different.

What do you think the speaker intended to say with "the stock market crashed when Obama was elected"? What was the context? Surely not two random unrelated facts placed in the same sentence for no reason.
It is literally GPT4. This is not the similarly named open source LLM "GPT4All."

GPT4Free is an API reverse engineering and proxy project which exposes an API to use GPT4 by proxy through GPT4 based services like the search engine Phind.

Essentially you are using the reverse engineered services OpenAI credits to access GPT4 instead of using your own OpenAI account.

Review of the Federal Reserve’s Supervision and Regulation of SVB [pdf]
US Immigration is fuelled by the immense drawcard of becoming an American, not by any great achievement in it’s immigration policies. You’d get much more & better candidates with a logical system.

Source: I’m an immigrant. I ended up in Canada for unrelated reasons, but the system in Canada is much better. Tough, but fair, mostly transparent, and even kind in some ways. In the US it’s so byzantine by comparison.
I'd love to save and build wealth, and I'm doing just that, it's just the amount I have left over to save is very small. I won't be able to buy a house until I'm in my 40's or 50's, but it's better than never being able to afford a house, I guess. At least my kids can inherit it and start from a more prosperous place.
And even the dashboard system kinda feels like there should be something better, but somehow there isn't (or I don't know it).

At 50k USD per year? Doubt it.

50k is nothing to americans but it's a shitload of money to a lot of people, including south americans like me. Very few people here make more than that. In fact the value of such a salary will probably increase even further as our nations descend ever deeper into economy-destroying communism.
Canadians who grew up in metros like Toronto and Vancouver are getting priced out of housing in large part because we've been getting ~600k immigrants per year (~300k direct immigrants + ~300k international students and TFWs who end up staying) while only building ~200k homes per year for the past 10 or so years.
You mean for testing, or in general?
It depends on the length of the tunnel, the traffic in the tunnel, and various other requirements.

Most modern C++ compilers provide inline assembly. However, the syntax is compiler-specific and target-specific. Also it's (almost) impossible to use generic types with such inline assembly.

This project is designed to allow people to use ChatGPT via reversed engineered private APIs. It's not surprising they went after this.

Here's the project description from the README:

Have you ever come across some amazing projects that you couldn't use just because you didn't have an OpenAI API key?

We've got you covered! This repository offers reverse-engineered third-party APIs for GPT-4/3.5, sourced from various websites. You can simply download this repository, and use the available modules, which are designed to be used just like OpenAI's official package. Unleash ChatGPT's potential for your projects, now! You are welcome ; ).

You can make 250K a year and spend half of your take-home pay on rent, in fact that's pretty normal in HCOL areas. With the leftovers you have life, including Uber, groceries, dinner, etc. People love cities, but dense cities are massively expensive for doing day to day normal things.

Sure, you could live one hour away from work to save money, you can stop drinking, you can only cook at home, you could ride a bike, you could buy used clothing, etc etc. But life is short if that stuff annoys you.
No it’s that for all the bullshit happening when you go through the legal process such as background checks, interviews, medical exams, expensive filling fees, interviews in other countries in some cases. You can just walk up the border skip all that and be in the US in a week.

The system is a joke to make the US some money off people who have it and punish law abiding citizens. If you have gone through it you would be just as pissed off as i am.

Would love for the process to be changed. Let me know how since most people don’t care about legal immigration.

No they didn't. Microsoft was just asleep at the wheel. The difference between an incumbent who doesn't care (MS) and an upstart that cares (Google) is easily visible by how rapidly IE market share crashed after Firefox arrived -- and then later, how FF crashed as Chrome grew.

The US immigration system is a system that calls the incoming immigrants "alien" and their right to visit their home countries in certain stages of the visa process as "parole". This is true even in 2023. It is a dehumanizing system where immigrants have to pay a very heavy price in return for the privilege of calling this free country their home.
I've got a manual grinder that literally came free with a pack of beans. It takes about as long to grind beans as it does to heat the water.

High quality beans really are a big difference. It's not just hype. However, the differences are heavily muted by milk, so if you're just making lattes with it it may not be worth the effort.

(I enjoy lattes anyway. I have a cheap frother from IKEA.)

Pre-ground beans are actually just fine. It's just that they go stale kinda quickly. It might help to keep it in a vacuum seal in the freezer (though honestly, people disagree on the merits of that). But it's easy enough to spend a few minutes grinding by hand right before you brew.

The main thing here is that you get to enjoy the differences. It's not so much that one coffee is better than another, or one brew time, or one grind, or whatever. Coffee is interesting because there are so many differences you can note in just beans and hot water.

If you're not interested in exploring that... well, you'll still be happier investing in high quality beans. The difference there really is enormous and you don't need to be an expert to taste it.
Pretty much, it's bleak. As a housing developer, part of the equation is to forget the existing high-rise altogether and buy something easier to demolish, like an old parking garage or lot. Why start $20mm-$50mm in the hole?
I'm all for making it easier for my indian friends to become a citizen of the USA.

However, it seems strange to complain about the US naturalization process, when its not easy for me being a US citizen to become a citizen of india.

https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/Ic_GeneralInstruction...

Citizenship of India by naturalization can be acquired by a foreigner (not being an illegal
migrant) who is ordinarily resident in India for twelve years (throughout the period of twelve
months immediately preceding the date of application and for eleven years in the aggregate in
the fourteen years preceding the twelve months) and fulfils other qualifications as specified in
third schedule to the act, 1955.

In addition:

1) A copy of valid Foreign Passport

2) A copy of Residential Permit/LTV

3) A copy of Bank Challan in original amounting to Rs.1500/- deposited in the State Bank of India.

4) One affidavit from self (applicant) and two affidavits from two Indians testifying to the character of the applicant in the prescribed language available in the application form. Affidavit to be allotted by Notary/Oath Commissioner/ DM.

5) Two language certificates certifying the applicant’s knowledge in any one of the Indian languages specified in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. (A language certificate from a recognized educational institution or from a recognised organisation or from two Indian citizens of the district of the applicant).

6) Two newspaper (circulating in the district in which the applicant resides) cuttings of different dates or of different newspapers notifying his/ her intention to apply for citizenship in the prescribed language available in the application form.
You are correct. This is not the similarly named open source LLM "GPT4All."

When my sister was in the ICU at a hospital in a big city, I created something similar for her. The nurses complimented me on it and said it made their lives easier, but I was shocked to learn that they didn't have anything like it unless families made them themselves.
It will be more efficient for plants to capture free energy from the sun directly than to convert it into electricity, transmit that over a long distance, possibly store it for a while, and then convert it back to light before plants capture it, for a very long time. The energy losses by solar panels and led lights are very significant.
I understand the point though. Living paycheck to paycheck making 250K is either a gross mismanagement of finances, or a dishonest view of them.

The guy making 250K a year isn’t worried about not being able to put food on the table. But maybe he has a monthly car payment that is more than the person making 28k a year pays per month in rent.
Apparently you can just lie about it if people ask.

The article mentions inviting 12 people to a GreenOlive restaurant and paying all expenses, not a 6-pack of beer.

Either way, you can interpret it as you wish.
Yep. It’s an affinity scam. It has nothing to do with GPT4. IIRC it’s just some model with a GPT-like interface offered for free. Once they change their name to something that isn't trying to catch GPT4’s sails in an completely dishonest and scummy manner, we can discuss it further.

To the CrabLang folks,: this is why you care about trademarks. So when someone does this you can protect your project from scammers.

EDIT I might be conflating GPT4all with this… which doesn't make the situation any better and kinda proves my point. This type of scam is confusing and deceptive. And this one seems actively malignant.

> I think the more we see ChatGPT do things like "oh, I know this game -- I'm going to run a 20-year-old 20 Questions subroutine that is not part of my neural network language model to generate responses", it will become even more impressive.

Agreed. Incidentally I’ve built a little toy version of a runtime for exactly this purpose - there’s a translation layer that’s given a bunch of available “APIs” (fed through the LLM context), and breaks down a high level goal into a structured series of API calls.

the runtime parses these API calls, and natively executes some (e.g. run a program, write to the file system) and others result in LLM invocations.

I’m sure OpenAI and crew are way ahead of me here, of course. I’m excited to see what the future holds in this field.
FWIW there are many transmitters similar to what they built that enable playing MP3 players, phones and other things on old radios [1]. I do not remember what the power limit is but no permit is required. They can operate throughout the entire FM broadcast spectrum. If they are broadcasting good music in an elderly community I doubt anyone will complain.

I think what we're saying here is changing the oil is not allowed. You can't change your own oil, or use third party oil because there is a detector that says this oil is not John Deere brand oil. The engine is now deactivated and you must call a John Deere technician to put in the encryption key to unlock the engine. Your next available appointment is in 938 days. Please note, we have a higher than expected volume of repair calls than usual this year. Your appointment may be de-prioritized. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, until one of those parties self destructs, there is no viable alternative. Then there will be a new duopoly. The constitutionally prescribed structure of the US government and the way in which elections are determined inevitably yields this outcome due to the game theory at play. The only way out is a more proportional representation system. This would result in a dilution of the power of the only people able to enact the change, so their incentives are aligned against improving the system.
honestly sounds like you should talk to a therapist. spending so much time "organizing everything" isn't a sustainable or effective way to handle your problems
Life and experience, if you're looking for a short answer. For example, last year we had an outage in London[0] and the folks who worked on it learnt a lot. Now, they applied the learnings in this incident.

do you have an example? from my experience most customers support related issues are self inflicted (e.g. not allowing the customer to self service all tasks and instead gatekeeping it to some support rep)

I do not see how a LLM will help in a way that was not achievable before.
It very much depends on the company and the bosses. I've seen visa status used to keep wages low and to lock people into shitty jobs and positions. These companies also use visa holders as a tool to keep citizen wages down.

In both cases they will remind you of how easy it is to get someone else in who can do your job.
You'd be surprised how many websites (medical, financial etc) are leaking data. e.g. in many all you need is just to replace your profile id with (id+1) and get other user's data.

Especially if website owner is located in non-EU or western countries there is basically zero responsibility for this, so no one even bothers to hire a dev that understands these basic security things. The cheaper the better.

I've seen dozens of examples myself without even trying. Imagine what you can get if you spend more than 20 minutes on this.
