In KDE Plasma, a window manager, you can configure "focus stealing prevention", as well as activation and raising of windows to be on click or on hover in a fairly precise way.

Still that is fairly far from the OS layer. Microsoft and Apple sell the 'OS' as a bundle with everything (a window manager, file explorer, etc) that you cannot really configure a lot, but that is a problem with their products.
I tend to agree with the Mastodon part of the article, but I didn't know Blue Sky had an open alpha, and apparently not many people on HN either, given the silence in this thread.
Chat based AI, such as ChatGPT, is Skeuomorphic. It's the presentation of a new technology under the veneer of a familiar interface, human conversation. The unfortunate side effect is the suggestion there is human intelligence, or any sort of "thought process" in the system.

I'm not convinced that the conversational style of AI will stay as people become familiar with it. Clearly the neutral language processing will stay, but it's the "humanity" of the interface and voice it presents that I think will fade out.

Just as we had skeuomorphic UI design when touch screens went mainstream, but then fell out of use as people understood the interactions. The same will happen with chat based AI.

It's going to be interesting what the UI/UX of these interfaces morphs into.
I studied with one of the top Mayan scholars in North America, and learned that the 260-day Mayan calendar was correlated to the human gestational period. So this is interesting: "They also note that the number of days (16,380) used in the math happens to be a multiple of 260, which means that 20 rounds of 819-day periods match with the Tzolk'in—the general Maya calendar."

A newer way to access your local services from anywhere
I have found twingate a couple of days ago and ever since i have been using it. I can access all of my services running on my local home lap from anywhere.
you just need to set up a controller in your home network that can basically run as a docker container on a raspberry pi and install a client on your other machine, with some basic configuration on twingate, you will be able to access your services from anywhere.

Very nice write-up, as someone feeling somewhat left behind by the Zig train it's always nice to get a refreshed feeling for the language.

I had to go look up "std.mem.indexOfSclar" in the source [1] since my, admittedly rather butt-hurt, feeling is that I can't guess Zig naming. It's supposed to be "indexOfScalar" which of course makes 100% sense.

An airport being outside of city limits has its historical reason (the Allies have agreed that the entire area of Berlin could only be served by airlines operated by one of the four occupational forces, so East Germany simply built an airport just beyond city limits so that they could serve Berlin with its domestic airline). But an airport being just outside of the "regular" fare zone is something that's unfortunately not unusual.
then why are you disabling chat signing?
I've been in three different unions and never saw anything like that happen.

Mostly I saw things like rampant sexual harassment and nepotism at every level. Anyone who so much as squeaked about things being wrong saw management and the union reps team up to screw the person for fucking with the status quo. Heck, at my last job like that, they were cousins/roommates.

Unionized workplaces can be just as toxic as any other workplace.
Indeed, I found it quite an eye-opener to learn what the left-wing radical feminists think about this whole topic of gender, and their reasons for doing so.
To be fair, the person you're replying to did specify "some parts" of the US. While you are correct the homicide is clearly down across the US, compared to the peaks in the 90s, there are also places where it is creeping back to 90s levels. Philadelphia and Chicago are two 'random' cities I just checked the statistics for and their murder rates are either at or close to the rates in 90s, and way up from the rates in the 2010s.

Looking at table 13 of annex b, how does the plutonium-239 emitted in the atmosphere by the reprocessing plants compare to naturally occurring atmospheric plutonium? (scnr - the comparison to cosmic rays just reminds me of the fuel industry claiming that atmospheric lead is natural) I know the answer, i want to highlight the cherry picking ;-) Sure there is natural carbon-14, but there is natural radon-222 as well, does that mean the radon exhaust of coal power plants can also be ignored when comparing coal and nuclear power generation industries to each other? I think not.

The UNSCEAR boils all these complex details down to a collective effective dose per generated electricity (in man-sievert per gigawatt year) for atmospheric discharges. This hides a lot of details, including the mentioned plutonium-239 as well as the carbon-14 releases, the radon-222 exhaust, and the uranium-238 traces being discharged to the atmosphere both by coal burning power plants and the uranium mills required for nuclear power. How half life plays into that, why nuclear accidents were taken out of scope, and why you don't want an old italian geothermal complex in your backyard. As i said, any TLDR i can give will not do justice to the details and quality of the report.

You're right, we do have a communist research system but it doesn't work well. It has flooded the scientific literature with endless torrents of non-replicable P-hacked pseudo-science. Who still takes social science at face value? And it's not just that field, COVID revealed that the entire public health space is run by people who systematically don't care about the scientific method and use it only as far as needed to convince the gullible to obey them. There are lots of fields like this. They look scientific but aren't.

Meanwhile, where are the real tech breakthroughs coming from? The tech industry, by and large, an industry that is flooded with academic refugees. Even biotech is a huge disappointment.

All you're pointing out is that, amongst large groups of people, you can find (relatively) small numbers of people that share implausible beliefs. All anybody here is pointing out to you is that police departments aren't being wound down; the winding down of law enforcement is not, in fact, something we need to plan for or accommodate with technology.

I agree, especially if you consider these were the questions on OP's mind:

> just out of curiosity, I wanted to learn more. I get that LEDs consume less energy and release less heat, and that they're made using semiconductors. But what kinds of semiconductors? How do semiconductors work in general, anyway?

And they proceed to type "LED" into Google. Why not "led what kind of semiconductor" and "how do semiconductors work in leds"?

I assume, OP didn't write "LED" in the ChatGPT text box without any context either.

Unless some better hydrogen tech is invented, that won't be useful towards this goal.
One thing I'm not clear about is how the LLM decides on the correct tokenization to use.

Looking at GPT2's token vocabulary, it has the word "the" as token number 1169, but it also has "t", "h", and "e" separately as tokens 83, 71, and 68. When the tokenizer is reading the prompt, does it greedily create the longest tokens possible from the start of the input, or is there a more sophisticated process going on?

I guess in theory it could try multiple tokenizations and see which one results in the overall best response.
It doesn’t need to look ahead, all of the words are already in the prompt behind the current position, so it just needs to use the existing context to infer the next word

Also on my second try, I gave it a slightly invalid sentence. The prompt was..

Unscramble the following: waffles eat with like cheese you.

It responded with:

You like to eat waffles with cheese.

But notice that the prompt doesn’t have the word “to” anywhere in it. But it was the most likely word that was supposed to go there.
> In the same way if you understand the implementation of these types of language models you know that they simply cannot have inner monologues in the same way we do...the very concept of an inner monologue implies that there is some sort of state that we the user cannot see.

I'm with you on the point you'd like to make, but LLMs obviously do have state that we cannot see. In fact, there are two different levels of obvious state: one allows the LLM to (for example) respond to input instead of ignoring it, which we may characterize as "unlearned" behavior. The level people are more interested in is the "finished model", the set of associations it learns in training. It's state and we can't see it.

The internal state of the model, at those levels, doesn't change when you interact with it. But the state is there.

(There is also a "working state", the state the model must keep in order to output different tokens in sequence, and in order to at some point decide that it's finished responding to a prompt. This does change during your interaction with the model, but the change is not persistent.)
What it doesn't do in that example is say the obvious, that it interpreted the question differently because of you mentioning soft things.
I still think sometomes about how Döner got its name. I can just picture a German guy walking past a plate of the thin shredded meat, and then asking someone "what is that?" followed by the customer pointing at the rotating meat stack, and the chef shrugging and saying "yeah, it spins."
This sort of reminds me of Bloomberg articles wherein every time there is some "black swan" event, they go and find an analyst or economist that "got it right" and he gets to be prophet for a day: never mind that said analyst/economist may have predicted 100 of the last 3 financial crashes, they were "right" about this one.

The sentence you quote is indeed a bit imprecise: what the rest of article suggests is that you can't get ChatGPT to explain its hallucinations.

That matches my experience, i.e. I have never seen ChatGPT admitting something like "and then I wrote a few more words that looked like they might have made sense".

Outside of explicit RP scenarios, it always keeps up the charade of being a fundamentally reasonable assistant, and a good assistant doesn't take acid while on the clock. If you explicitly say "that was wrong", the response will often be "Yes, I'm sorry, that was a mistake. The correct answer is actually [hallucinates something else]", but it won't elaborate.

> I suppose, when GPT-4 writes correctly working code that does what you want on the first try, this says absolutely nothing about its cognitive capacity

It says something about its ability to write code. Beyond that... its impossible to say.

We simply don’t have the information about generative AI models to be able to generalize from limited proxies about them; psychometry is not transferrable from humans to them — or at least, we have neither evidence nor a strong theoretical reason to think it should be.
I call that hypocrisy. You sound like a marketing person.
> I mean that whitelist-style, which isn't a losing strategy.

What are you trying to filter with your "whitelist"? Anything you'd want to filter can be controlled directly via browser embedding APIs, without any vagaries or guesswork.

> I'm trying to argue that the vast majority of programs that use webkit aren't affected by the vast majority of webkit-specific bugs.

I'm not sure what you mean here. The whole point of a security bug is that an entity is trying to compromise the system. We aren't talking a "webkit specific rendering bug", we're talking about the goal being code execution. So "affected by" is "displays untrusted content".

RSS apps, Mail apps, Messaging, and Social media apps are all subject to that. Messaging isn't arbitrarily constrained - any properly encrypted messaging system requires the client to assume that any received message is completely attacker controlled. Even in these hypothetically constrained messaging and social media apps, if nothing else, often allow you to just view web content from within the app. The goal of an attacker is to get some specific content to hit a web view. They do not necessarily care what application is driving that web view - arguably they'd prefer non-safari as 3rd party apps generally aren't sandboxed, so gaining code execution in the host is yet more powerful.

> I'm not suggesting not to update. But yes it does matter how many programs are vulnerable.

What matters is how many users would be exposed, which is a function of the number of apps, the number of users of all of those apps, and the degree to which those apps are exposed to arbitrary content. WebKit on macOS is widely used, and it is often (if not typically) used for untrusted content.
Imagine my surprise coming from Italy, where our trains are famously dirty and late, and taking my first train in the UK.

Trains are cleaner and somewhat less delayed, but bloody hell, they are not worth the price. For £110 I reckon you can go Milan–Naples (800 km, 4h30) in high speed 1st class train, which do not even exist in Britain.

> And from what I understand, most European Union countries get unlimited sick leave, and 4-6 weeks of vacation both.

Just a side note, but in most countries sick leave requires a doctor-signed papers. Even for a day. Although sometimes companies give call-in-is-fine days as a perk. There're a lot of caveats around pay during that period. In most cases employer pays full salary for first week or so. Later it's on state and pay may be reduced. E.g. 80% of one's salary.
Show HN: Batonjs – A declarative UI framework that retrofits dynamism
For a long time, I have been wondering if there is a neat way to write UI declaratively for web apps for which SPA is not suitable.
One day two months ago, I got the idea that a CSS-like syntax would be nice, and started this project.
I'd like to hear what everyone has to say about it now since it's practical enough to be introduced into another project of mine.
I personally think it might be worth using as an alternative to Next.js and other products that claim SSR, or as a modern jQuery in the sense that you can write UI in a declarative way.

We're a small team of repeat founders and seasoned operators on a big mission to simplify planet-positive investing and put power in the hands of impact investors at a scale never seen before. The next generation of tools we are building use AI to interact with the world of sustainability data (large language models like ChatGPT). This is a highly specialist crew with a decade or more of relevant experience in the domains of machine learning and climate finance.

Some of the companies we started, (e.g. Secondmind), scaled to 100+ people and millions in revenue, published extensively in key academic journals in machine learning, and won national awards. We also have extensive industry networks, published works, and numerous advisory and working group seats in climate and sustainable finance.

We're looking for people to play a foundational role on this big mission:

- Product Engineer / Full-stack Engineer
- Machine Learning Developer
- Others (opportunistic, including internships)

We have just raised our pre-seed round from top European climate-focused investors, but there is not much about us out there yet until we make our announcement! We've always built high-performing teams where everyone is excited to come to work for the team and to make an impact on the mission. Further details are available on our Notion page (link at the start)!

I'm the CEO and co-founder — if interested, drop me an email (aleksi@) or email our jobs email (jobs@). It'll come to me either way! :)
You should never wash any trash. Either it is recycled properly and it is washed in highly efficient manner or it isn't and washing doesn't matter.

Looking at it from the other perspective - the trash is rarely worth even the few seconds of the time you spend washing it.

IMO, Go is capable of supporting OOP style code, but is not an OOP language. Coming to Go from more dogmatic OOP languages is such a breath of fresh air. If you just need a struct, you can have a struct. If you want a package scoped standalone function, you don't need to invent some made up "class" to attach it to. As the article shows, you can implement OOP style code and use OOP paradigms when they make sense. With Go, they emerge more naturally from the code as you are not trying to force them in from the start.

These are probably trivial things to a lot of people but after being brought up on Java, and working in rather OOP-heavy frameworks for years, it's liberating.
