> This would’ve been much harder pre-GPT, but now was trivial to implement.

I wonder how close looking for a group of lines that start with a number, then taking all the text following that group of lines would get you. I bet that would get you pretty close to the desired effect most of the time.

I also wonder if more standard NLP methods might work here, rather than using the full power of an LLM. Instructions are grammatically constructed as commands, so if you start with doing what I mentioned in the previous paragraph, then parse each sentence following the group of lines starting with numbers, you should be able to determine which ones are commands. If a paragraph contains no commands, it's obviously not directions.

Just some random thoughts. I do see what you mean, though: definitely not trivial sans assistance from an LLM.
Intel is well underway on the same journey that IBM took decades ago. That is the transition from a Computer Engineering company to a Financial Engineering company. This never works well. Never, ever, let an finance or sales person near the top spot at a technology company.
I'm fine with CloudFlare doing DDoS or spam protection. I'm not doing a DDoS nor spam. I'm happy to help them fix their algorithm. Not only did they not respond to the community post, but they auto-closed it to add insult to injury.

Oh, I've seen them being about widespread television (somehow the articles lasted into the 80's), reality shows, fast-paced news, videogames, RPG, game books, the internet, web chatting (somehow they missed ICQ et al.), orkut, MMO-RPGs, online games (Facebook style), smartphones, modern social networks...

Oh, and there are the always-green ones about calculators, and encyclopedias (that changed into wikipedia). Of course there is the famous one from ancient Greece about writing... So, yeah, consider the population dumbed down already.
I'm an occasional-meat kinda eater, and yeah, I'll just go all-veggie (with eggs and milk—you can pry those from my cold, dead fingers, I'll farm my own if that's the only way to get it) before eating this stuff. If I want to fill gaps in nutrition with shit from a lab, I can just start taking vitamins. I dunno, maybe if it were super-cheap—well under the cost of farmed meat, like, 20% the price—I might use it some just because hey, cheap protein, but otherwise, no.
As mentioned later in the thread, this has been documented for at least 30 years, although I'd never heard of it before:

(dev here) Hey, to clarify: "Say goodbye to slow, clunky containers and VMs" refers to the fact that we support running both Docker containers and Linux machines, not that the Docker engine doesn't use a VM under the hood.

And yes, there is still a VM, but the experience and architecture are very different from traditional full Linux VMs that we're describing with "slow, clunky".
I agree with the author. Here is inspiration for all of those problem solvers out there:

Exactly: monetary and fiscal policy need to work together to bring down inflation. It's depressing that we're so defeated by seemingly endless congressional dysfunction that the idea that fiscal policy is even an option is beyond our comprehension.

It's unfortunate, too, because fiscal policy can be surgically precise, unlike monetary policy. If you were trying to assassinate inflation, monetary policy would be like carpet bombing the city where inflation lives, instead of fiscal policy sending in Seal Team 6 to inflation's home address.
> I've been paying for a lot of things for my friends recently as there is a very large imbalance in wealth between us which is more recent... I still felt sort of akward about how I was approaching it... I wanted to let them know that I don't care about the money at all,

What kinds of things are you paying for, though? Consider there's a subtle, unintentional message if you insist on paying for their $20 burger and drink: "This $20 is a big deal to you, but not to me." Unless they are dirt poor, they can probably pay for themselves for most things.

Myself, I have friends with 10x less money (self-employed), and 10x more money (huge stock options and the company popped) -- in both cases, we round-robin the check at dinner. Now mind you, we're not going to French Laundry...
> An attempt to upgrade our Loki 2.7.4 to 2.8.1 failed badly and could not be reverted, forcing us to delete our entire accumulated log data for the second time in a few months (after the first time).

This sucks, but it’s also why you take filesystem snapshots or perform a backup before upgrades.

That's an exaggeration. Yes, there are significant issues with organized crime, but not everywhere.
Correct, and neither does OrbStack. Clarification here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35743597
I'd prefer police officers with EMT (and preferably paramedic) training to those with four-year sociology degrees.

Knowledge of DNA and computer forensic methods and necessities, though, would probably improve their chances of getting promoted, as would legal training. However, those skills could easily be learned at two-year community college progams.

All in all, I think this kind of focus would lead to a more professional police force.

Think of it like sports.

I was surprised too, that there is nothing similar when I was at a stroke unit for a relative.

I once had the problem that running make with too many parallel jobs (-j) would change my keyboard layout.

The machine was some laptop mainboard glued to the backside of my monitor, and the USB socket came out at the top of the mainboard. On its way down, the USB cable for the keyboard passed across the whole mainboard. On high load, the mainboard created enough interference to cause the connection to reset, re-hotplugging my keyboard, so the previous setxkbmap call was not effective anymore and i was back to the standard US qwerty layout.
Most bots do not handle javascript, still to this day. They want to scrape HTML and catalog prices, etc.

Subject to which licenses? The current license? Is Grafana obligated to keep the licenses they distribute the current software under unmodified forever after you contribute? Do they loose their right to modify the license of the codebase with your contribution? If they decide to move it to GPL, do they need to get your permission first? If they decide to take the project closed source, do they need your permission? Can you sue for damages if they don’t get your permission first?

Your good faith doesn’t hold up in court and I understand why they’d want to clarify ownership of the contributions. Just because we’ve always done it this way doesn’t mean people aren’t open to liability. Just because another project accepts the risk of a random contributor winning a lawsuit against them doesn’t mean Grafana should. I’m surprised CLAs aren’t more common.

I was personally surprised at how generous their CLA was with ownership rights for you and your contribution to the project. You retain a lot when contributing.

People want pills or miracle diets. People don't want lifestyle changes. They're busy, stressed, strapped for cash, and anyway they like the standard American diet. Collectively, we could shape our environment so healthy decisions are easier and unhealthy choices are harder, but we can't even agree to tax sugar. So we won't make policy changes anytime soon, and individually many of us will fail to make healthier choices. What more is there to say?

> Stop visiting sites who treat their users this badly!

The problem is the individual sites aren’t making these highly technical decisions, people are using what seems to them an innocuous security product.

Not visiting a random website places no pressure on CloudFlare to change, since there’s no way to correlate your choice with the decision to use CloudFlare.
Using a "non-mainstream browser" is not in fact an indicator of malicious or even "annoying" behavior. It's almost certainly not even statistically associated. In fact, if you're going to build a bot that impersonates a browser, the natural choice right now is to impersonate Chrome. And there are frameworks available for puppeting Chrome.

What they seem to be doing is just presenting a CAPTCHA to anything at all unusual. Which is actually kind of strange, given the vast amount of raw data available to them. They should be able to learn real indicators.

I'm actually not even sure Cloudflare is primarily responsible for most of this... exactly. The problem is more likely that Cloudflare gives its users a lot of knobs to twiddle, and most of the users are probably not up to twiddling them correctly. That could be the main source of these problems.

And there are so many possible combinations that it would be hard for Cloudflare to really test them, or even think about how all the knobs might interact.

Taking away knobs would be a good start, but there may be reasons they don't think they can do that. Probably reasons that are more about their customers' perceptions than about their customer's real needs.

Come to think of it, isn't one of those knobs the ability to turn off PrivacyPass? I don't have access to a Cloudflare account at the moment, but I seem to remember that it was.
>they're [Intel] still tied to Windows

Nonsense. Intel is one of the largest contributors to the Linux kernel, the biggest depending on what measure you count by[0]. They even have their own distro.

Moreover, much of their profit is from the server market, which tends to run Linux.

I do understand what you're getting at, more examples aren't required.

What you're arguing is that if someone says one thing but actually means something else, that's ambiguity.

What I'm saying is that this situation is something else. Call it duplicity, talking out of both sides of your mouth, vagueness, innuendo, whatever, there's lots of labels you could use. But it's not the same thing as ambiguity.

There are good examples of genuinely ambiguous statements in the paper like "John and Anna are married" which could be interpreted as married to each other, or a statement about both individuals independently. Neither interpretation is obviously more correct than the other and which is correct has to be disambiguated based on context or further questioning.

The difference is important because ambiguity is usually accidental and often a matter of poor use of syntax or natural language being evolved. If a speaker says something unclearly, and someone else finds it ambiguous, then asking them to clarify which of one or two interpretations they meant won't normally risk causing offense or conflict.

But if you think someone is engaging in (let's call it) innuendo, then there's no way to ask them to correct that without it causing conflict, because it's an inherently hostile accusation. Moreover it's extremely listener specific. Genuine language ambiguity almost never has that problem.

The paper is a bit odd because if you check their jsonl files, most of the examples marked as having an ambiguous premise are of genuine ambiguity caused by the way English works. A few are ambiguous only in written form and would be considered unambiguous to a native speaker if spoken inflection was available (this is listed in their limitations section). Yet when it gets into the part where PolitiFact are suddenly a reliable source, one of the three examples isn't.

Probably the problem here is that PolitiFact, being amateurs with no interest in linguistics or logic, tend to ignore genuine ambiguity but they wanted to show that PolitiFact aren't entirely useless, so took this claim that was marked "barely true" because PolitiFact didn't like the implication of causality and then said that in that case they found ambiguity. It makes me wonder how often PolitiFact identifies genuine ambiguity as a consequence (maybe never). I couldn't find these examples in their jsonl files so it's hard to say what's going on there.
I noticed when running an `npm audit fix` that request has an open vulnerability is deprecated and not accepting security fixes anymore. While we don't use it directly, several of the packages in our dependency chain do. Looks like it still gets over 18M installs per week.
(if so, I have one =) )
What is the alternative though; we had a millions of requests from 100000s of IPs from all continents a few months ago; literally the only thing that got our site back up was bot fight from cloudflare. How do you do this another way?
Those words are a pure gold. So true.

Thanks for sharing your experience with VR, and highlighting the potential impact of this technology beyond gaming and consumer applications. It's fascinating to see how VR is being used for medical purposes such as vestibular rehabilitation, and I agree that the possibilities for cognitive behavioral therapy and training are enormous.

I would love to hear more examples of how VR and AR are being used in novel and innovative ways, particularly in fields that might not immediately come to mind. It's exciting to think about the potential for these technologies to transform the way we approach healthcare, education, and even workplace training.
It's more that, since you need blood, muscle tissue, and fat, (and probably more stuff) you need something to support their growth, you can't just create an homogeneous mass.

The GP is quite unimaginative to think you would need an entire animal for supporting those, but "some kind of fast growing meat cell" is wrong too.
Do you want a Dr operating on you who didn't graduate from college or medical school? There is a reason why degrees are requirements.
> I'm saying is you need to make sure housing available

This isn't the story of Hoovervilles! There was enough housing. People couldn't afford anything because there wasn't work. (I agree with your take on skilled and unskilled labour, broadly, though with significant caveats, given how little we understand about those labor markets. Skyrocketing housing is an explicit American policy choice. We could change it any time, but we prefer to be wealthier and the "feel" of our neighborhoods.)
near the beginning of the Scientific Computing Associates work (?) they implemented an extended model that supported multiple spaces - to scope the number of machines involved in a given update.

I was also given a takedown notice by OpenAI for the ChatGPT twitter bot github repo: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-twitter-bot

This was ~2 months ago, and I'm fortunate enough to have a direct contact at OpenAI who I complained to. He came back promptly and told me it was a mistake and the takedown notice was retracted. I also changed the twitter bot's logo to be purple instead of green to avoid future issues.
> We have DNS, we don't need log sender to have a service discovery mechanism on top of that.

Having service discovery solves some issues.

* DNS TTL and applications holding on to DNS names indefinitely (prometheus, haproxy, nginx, and I bet your app somewhere all do this).

* Applications that don't support DNS record priorities.

* Serving different results to different clients based on their identity that isn't isn't random.

> Log processor doesn't need a fucking queue. Log sender does, for network reliability one

Yes. That's what the queue is for. The log sender also has a queue but as it lives on the host itself minimizing its use is how you don't lose logs on server crashes. If your architecture is the log processor accepts logs, and stores them in a queue for buffering then you've implemented the same architecture. But if that queue lives on the log processor itself then you risk data loss if that server dies. Having a shared queue in front of the pool of log processors, is simpler, has better throughput, easier to shard, and more reliable. Logs can't get stuck on a particular processor anymore because its lease will end and another worker will pick it up.
> The real losers here are the students who studied in the US, worked hard to find a job and only submit a single petition through their employers. It's now way less likely they will get picked in the lottery.

I'll never understand why we don't just staple green cards to master's degrees. It's absolutely absurd that we're choosing to kick out talented, hardworking people who are already established here, who are disproportionately young and healthy. And they're at the very beginning of their careers - they're ready to pay a lifetime of taxes. They're the absolute opposite of drains on society.

Launch Lamini: The LLM Engine for Rapidly Customizing Models as Good as ChatGPT
Hi HN!

I’m super excited to announce Lamini, the LLM engine that gives every developer the superpowers that took the world from GPT-3 to ChatGPT!

I’ve seen a lot of developers get stuck after prompt-tuning for a couple days or after fine-tuning an LLM and it just gets worse—there’s no good way to debug it. I have a PhD in AI from Stanford, and don’t think anyone should need one to build an LLM as good as ChatGPT. A world full of LLMs as different & diverse as people would be even more creative, productive, and inspiring.

That’s why I’m building Lamini, the LLM engine for developers to rapidly customize models from amazing foundation models from a ton of institutions: OpenAI, EleutherAI, Cerebras, Databricks, HuggingFace, Meta, and more.

Here’s our blog announcing us and a few special open-source features! https://lamini.ai/blog/introducing-lamini

Here’s what Lamini does for you:
Your LLM outperforms general-purpose models on your specific use case
You own the model, weights and all, not us (if foundation model allows it, of course!)
Your data helps the LLM, and build you an AI moat
Any developer can do it today in just a few lines of code
Commercial-use-friendly with a CC-BY license

We’re also releasing several tools on Github:
Today, you can try out our hosted data generator for training your own LLMs, weights and all, without spinning up any GPUs, in just a few lines of code from the Lamini library. https://github.com/lamini-ai/lamini/

You can play with an open-source LLM, trained on generated data using Lamini. https://huggingface.co/spaces/lamini/instruct-playground

Sign up for early access to the training module that took the generated data and trained it into this LLM, including enterprise features like virtual private cloud (VPC) deployments. https://lamini.ai/contact
