I find exercise useful too. Not much can keep the cold and wet conditions from making my hands scream, but when I climb and deadlift it has the odd effect of reducing pain after a half hour or so, and keeping it at bay for hours.

People have told me this means it can't be arthritis, but I've met others with a diagnosis who have the same experience. So long as the activity doesn't involve impact or to much opening and clenching of my hand while under stress, it's very relieving (though painful at first).

Ask HN: Using Langchain in Production
Hey everyone,
I am trying to figure out how DevOps requirements change with services that build on top of LLMs. I got a couple questions for everyone who actually tried to deploy something into prod.

Have you implemented a service that uses langchain and runs in production? What have your experiences been? Did you need to set up extra infrastructure to deploy it? Did you use open source models?
It is not absurd to use a common phrase to describe a pattern of failed promises.
I don't think there's a coherent political goal for the Western activist left. There's a laundry list of wishes, and a general vague notion that they can't be obtained "because capitalism". From there it quickly devolves into guillotine memes and such, but I don't think there are many people who are even well versed in Marxism or other hard left ideologies and actively pursuing their goals - it's mostly just venting.
It's not surprising that ChatGPT can't play chess well, since:

1) Other than book openings (which it could easily learn) chess requires calculating alternate lines of play, but GPT is just a multi-layer (transformer decoder block) pass-thru architecture so is fundamentally unable to do this. Each word (chess move) output is just the result of N sequential inference steps, with no looping or recursion.

It might potentially be able to do better if prompted/scripted to select few best lines and recursively explore them (using it's own output to keep track of what it is doing), more like a person or computer chess engine would do. Perhaps it could use chess theory to evaluate board positions and which looked good.

2) Even if ChatGPT had the intelligence/reasoning power to learn how to play chess, it'd still need to learn! You can't learn to play chess just passively by studying chess games. It's also in general not memorizing (vs generalizing over) training material, so it's not even going to memorize those games it has seen. Maybe massive fine-tuning on chess would help a bit, but I doubt very much.

3) ChatGPT has tons of knowledge, but a rather limited amount of reasoning power. It's a bit like having a 7-year old idiot savant memorize a set of encyclopedias and then quizzing them on problems you think it should be able to figure out from that. No doubt future models will have better reasoning capabilities and therefore more potential ability to learn something like chess if it also had the necessary iterative planning capability.

I am a Senior/Staff/Tech Lead(etc!) Software Engineer and Data Engineer with over 12 years of experience specializing in creating Full Stack web applications and Machine Learning platforms. I’ve worked in small startups wearing many hats and larger companies with scalability in mind. I take great pride in mentoring younger developers and working with teammates to create solutions. I have a Masters in Data Analytics and love learning new technologies. Currently getting deeper into finance and sports analytics.
Looking forward to hearing more about how I can help your company grow!
Ehh, I don’t work there anymore. Just got nerd sniped by someone being obviously wrong on the internet.

> one is how deep you've dug that credibility hole. There was a price to pay for all that secrecy.

It’s a weird thing that the public thinks the defense sector doesn’t know this. They’re aware. I could try and reason with you on the internet, but this isn’t a place for changing people’s opinions.

I would instead tell you that people who work in defense tech tend to be motivated by morals and any argument that what they’re doing is dangerous is an implicit argument that they’re intelligent (otherwise, it wouldn’t seem too dangerous).

So, given those two facts — you can probably do a better job of reasoning about their motives than this.

> The other is, when you're out here trying to manage the non-classified public's perceptions, why on earth would you trust that your bosses aren't managing yours? Why would you think you get to know what the long term plans are?

Just bored on HN on a Monday. Same as anyone. Obviously not working on classified stuff, or I wouldn’t have access to HN.

Just because things are secret from the public doesn’t mean the defense industry is some cloak and dagger affair. It’s painfully boring bureaucracy. Decisions happen on the order of weeks to years, across many meetings. Everyone in the room knows the long term plans.
The company that runs the DB system (HAFAS) provides this system for half of the European railways though. And, interestingly enough, also for BART.

SEEKING WORK | Remote (Tucson, Arizona)

I'm a full-service writer who helps open source && cloud native startups inspire devs and engineering leads to `commit`.

For those still forming value propositions and fine-tuning websites, I uplevel the messaging you already have with my unique experience with these technical communities. And for those ready to distribute their proven messaging with content, I write opinionated and technical articles on Kubernetes, GitOps, IaC, pre commit validation and shift left, trace-based testing, APIOps, and much more. I recently authored a report in association with CNCF on end user adoption of cloud native tooling, which gave the unique opportunity to pick the brains of 20 tech leaders at major orgs on platform engineering, tool choice, Kubernetes provisioning, and much more.

How can I make this know-how for you?

- Initialize a messaging strategy that differentiates your open source project and commercial product as commit-worthy

- Load balance your copywriting tasks so you can return to being a founder, leader, and maintainer

- Deploy content (both strategy and execution) that builds trust and authority with your strongest opinions backed by your technical prowess

If you feel like you can't reach the right people because you don't have the right copy/content, or know where you're headed but can't scale, shoot me an email and we'll find the paved road you've been after.

Meta isn't investing billions into VR alone. They're also investing billions into AR, metaverse, etc. Read their filings & earnings report; it's all in there.

The funny part is, if they actually invested more on investing in VR, they might actually get to AR faster.
Uhm, people were protesting 0-covid in China for almost a year before Xi lifted it. It wasn't like there was a protest, and Xi lifted it right away. It took the CPC sometime to figure out they were doing the wrong strategy.

Has anyone heard of using crosswords in interviews? Something similar to this linked puzzle would give an indication if the prospect has at least heard of the names.
I disagree with this sentiment.

Although I'm not familiar with today's groundbreaking research, I think dismissing an entire branch of research simply because it goes against one's argument is a little funny. However, Hamming specifically states in his lecture that this could be applied to engineers starting companies, and there are numerous examples of founders who have started multiple successful businesses in this area.

In the lecture series, Hamming explicitly emphasizes the importance of dedicating time to predicting what the next big step in one's field would be. He dedicated half of every Friday to trying to predict the future of computer science. One of the major points he drives home is that the next breakthrough in any field will not be what he or anyone else has worked on in the past. That is why it is worth striving to work on the right things.

Thanks for your consideration! I’m looking for my first paid job as a developer. My work experience has been in operations and support, with management roles here and there, but my knowledge and interests go way beyond that. I’ve been coding on side/personal projects for several years now, and I’m ready to join a team and apply my skills in the real world. I love the craft and I’m eager to learn, contribute, and do great things!
I'm building a Business Rule compiler. My grand unifying theory is that business rules occupy a hazy border between configuration and code, and this haze is the source of both software bugs and frustrated stakeholders. The idea is to make an app that treats those Business Rules like configuration, automatically generate the proper code, and package it up for your programmers to deploy.

My second project (when I get bored of the above) is a VR Clojure REPL.
This is a marketing problem fundamentally, I'd argue. That the article or any serious piece would use a term such as "Godfather of AI" is incredibly worrying and makes me think it's pushing an agenda or is some sort of paid advertisement with extra steps to disguise it.
How is life an accelerator of entropy when it literally exists to centralize/condense energy and create ordered feedback systems?
You'll find it is!

That said, many might face some challenges in doing so in a place they want to live. It's non-trivial to find a cheap piece of livable land in a city. In a more rural areas, you can expect some possible complications in things like water, electricity, and internet access.

Well, that would be a natural explanation if it were any of the 10 thousand nearby trees, or telephone poles even, and not the window awning.

> Not many of those show arbitrary web pages.

Plenty do display arbitrary _content_ thought. Mail clients, RSS readers, various messaging (twitter, mastodon, ...) clients, etc use it. Obviously these days many apps instead just ship a 400mb out of date copy of chrome instead of using the builtin frameworks, so it's less of an addressable problem, but so it goes.

Isn't Hinton's paper on backprop just a "let's try to implement that" for a multilayer network?
Let me clarify: who does qualify to offer an authoritative opinion, in your view? If, say, only Ilya Sutskever qualifies, then isn't that like asking someone actively pumping oil today about the danger of carbon emissions? If only Sam Altman, then isn't that like asking an oil executive?

If not Geoff Hinton, then, who?

Ultimately the harm is either real or not. If it is real, then the people with the most accurate beliefs and principles will be the ones who never joined the industry in the first place because they anticipated where it would lead, and didn't want to contribute. If it is not real, then the people with the most accurate beliefs will be the ones leading the charge to accelerate the industry. But neither group's opinions carry much credibility as opinions, because it's obvious in advance what opinions each group would self-select to have. (So they can only hope to persuade by offering logical arguments and data, not by the weight of their authoritative opinions.)

In my view, someone who makes landmark contributions to the oil industry for 20 years and then quits in order to speak frankly about their concerns with the societal impacts of their industry... is probably the most credible voice you could ever expect to find expressing a concern, if your measure of credibility involves experience pumping oil.
No, not going to be the norm. Because

Show HN: Guitos, a free open-source budgeting app
Hi HN,
I wanted to share an app I've created recently since it might be useful for you:

guitos is a free open-source budgeting app that helps you figure out where your money went and plan your budget ahead of time.

It was initially created to replace a spreadsheet I created based on the budgeting advice given on the r/personalfinance subreddits and as an opportunity to learn React.

The app stores data in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB). Your private financial data doesn't leave your browser.

(If you're wondering what the app's name means: "guitos" is portuguese slang for money/cash. )

I largely quit vaping right before the rise of disposable vape pens and it is mindblowing to me that they were allowed – by any group including the manufacturers, governments, even consumers – to become a thing. They seem from the outside to be significantly more expensive to produce, tons more e-waste, and not much more convenient than pod systems.
