I started designing and developing websites way back in 1997 on a Sega Saturn Netlink. Without a keyboard in hand, I hand-wrote my table based HTML markup in old notebooks to transcribe into CGI web editors utilizing an on-screen keyboard and controller, and of course, all while collaborating over IRC.

Luckily, times have changed and I now own both multiple PC's and keyboards. I have since worked on countless projects from interesting startups in various spaces, to enterprise level applications, as well as multiple personal and collaborative projects. I also founded Elemeno, a collective of talent functioning as a digital agency. You have most likely even seen some of my design work for large brand-names in the market.

Both of us are clearly ingesting time, it is simply another one of our inputs.

We are not ingesting time, we are in a certain sense creating it. We constantly observe the world and it changes over time but just observing the world alone is not enough to perceive time. You have to memorize the current state of the world as you just perceived it and later compare your new perceptions with the memory in order to determine that the world has changed in between.

I am a machine learning researcher/engineer with a wide range of experiences. Most recently I worked on architecture optimization techniques for pytorch at Meta. Before that I was the first ML hire at a couple different companies: a series A NLP startup (Cultivate) that was acquired and at a mortgage scale-up (Blend) that eventually IPOd.

I really enjoy flat fast teams with smart and kind people. I have experience leading teams and managing people but would prefer a more technical role. I travel a lot and live a semi-nomadic lifestyle, so it's important to me to work somewhere that handles asynchronous work well. Open to contract / advisor work as well.

If it were strictly a naming issue, taking down the repository is not an appropriate remedy. They would be demanding the name be changed. It's purely about protecting their revenue stream. They must believe it is just easier to roll over this one project than get their customers in line. I wouldn't be surprised if what their customers are doing is not specifically covered by any agreements and they have no way to force their customers to make changes.
Interesting. So to me it sounds like people need to learn a little bit of programming to build these apps - for some reason the bot cant build them. Does this mean there will be greater need for programmers?
You know you had a perfect opportunity to try to convince me, right? Show me how "don't victim blame" is a productive statement that isn't meant to just immediately shut down the discussion. Show me how it leads to more questions and more discussion instead of silence. But instead, just restating your opinion as if it is objective, unquestionable fact.
> What I would really like to see is a two-tier cache system: most recently accessed files are cached to RAM, with less recently accessed files spilling over to a disk-backed cache. That would open up a world of additional applications whose useful cache size exceeds practical RAM amounts

This is really hard to get right if the origin cloud storage is anything other than immutable. Otherwise you're in for a world of cache invalidation and consistency pain.

I've gradually come round to the other opinion: there should be devices that sit on the PCIe/NVMe bus and provide a blob storage API rather than a block one, and there should be an operating system blob API that is similar to but not identical to the filesystem one.
There are lots of apps which do not connect you to a doctor and therefore do not connect you to pills either. Is that what you meant? The apps I have in mind are based mostly on CBT and/or mindfulness.
I agree it's nothing new that scams exist, and that is my point. Our response to bad actors was never to just give up and stop trusting anyone. In most societies people tried to solve the problem by regulations or making laws etc. We get new iterations of these issues every generation. Why have we suddenly decided this time it's not worth it to fight it?

Beware of health care apps that masquerade as something else just to sidestep regulation. If it provides health care services or aims to perform some kind of medical function then by definition it is a health care service and it ought to be regulated as such. If it isn't that's usually for a good reason, for instance because the purveyors of the service do not expect that they will be able to pass compliance review.
I am guessing something like the device knows its owner is under 18, and websites can query “is the user under 18” to disable itself.

Realistically this is what Utah wants. Only 60% of Utah residents are Mormon, but 85%+ of their elected state representatives and senators are Mormon. They are happy to force the rest of society to carve out a space "just for them", which is pretty much in line with their entire history anyway.
>The problem with your model is that it relies on there being “proven” technologies to begin with

This takes overthinking to a new level. Of course there are proven technologies - used with success for decades, known for their stability, etc. I'm pretty sure one can find arguments against any of them. But we do have a general (not unanimous) consensus, even if it hasn't been cast into stone. For example that Python is tried and mature for data science, or that C++ has proven itself in games, and Java in enterprise and application server programming, and so on.

>but who is going to prove them if not those very groups you deride

Actual domain experience from millions of developers, and observation of decade(s) of use, stability, and known upsides/downsides?

Nobody waited for hipster programmers to declare mature technologies. Their "job" is to hype new stuff. If it evolves into something mature, they go to the next shiny thing.
> Scott Hanselman is projecting the world view conference-goers and blog-posters onto everyone else. He is obsessed with modernity

Promoting adoption of the latest thing is the job of marketing, and his job for the past decade-or-more falls squarely into that category.
> How to benchmark something like this

Usually, you can run something like perf or callgrind, with instruction level profiling, and you will get a good idea. Its not benchmarking in the traditional sense, but it has a similar result.

SIMD can make your code faster, or slower - profiling is a great way to tell exactly how much faster or slower.
Speak only of your own willful ignorance. Nobody said anything about inefficiency; ASICs are extremely efficient at wasting energy. The point that Bitcoin proponents refuse to admit is that, unlike other systems, making the components more efficient does not reduce the energy consumption of the system, because energy consumption is the purpose of this system.

Even worse, it puts a floor on the price of energy, which disincentives everyone else from seeking more efficient solutions to power production, because all that efficiency will be wasted by proof-of-work anyway. We as a species will never have free energy, and this is the reason.
This looks very interesting. I am thinking of testing it out to see its accuracy for text detection and extraction in multiple PDFs.

> I think ORMs fit that bill. For some reason they were (are?) incredibly popular, but I don't think they stood the test of time.

I don't think there is any truth at all to this personal belief. In some domains it's unthinkable to use anything other than the standard ORM. In C# you'd need to be nuts to roll SQL by hand instead of using Entity Framework, and Django speaks for itself.

The only drawback of ORMs is that their promise is that developers don't need to learn the intricacies of SQL and SQL-related design patterns, but in practice developers need to learn the intricacies of SQL, the ORM framework, and the SQL generated by the ORM. Naive developers might believe they are better off reinventing the wheel with ad-hoc SQL stuff, but that's another problem.
One of the things that an adult has to face growing up, is that at least some of the ideas that you hold in your head, have been cooked up in a think-tank or secret government bureau.

Let me give you a concrete counter example; I wanted to review DNS records the other day which is a topic I had covered in undergrad. Searching on google retrieved a bevy of poorly written articles that were mostly noteworthy for bow they glossed over the material I wanted to review.

I asked chat gpt to review the topic for me and it wrote a helpful summary that tracked with what I remembered and provided enough keywords that provided better search results - fact checking and digging for more detail became much easier when I was able to find the exact wikipedia page I needed (and other resources).
I'm not sure if you noticed the amount of content made in the past decade but it's limitless. Each of the streaming services have countless new shows and they all need, or needed, writers. With those streaming services came lower pay and higher minimum pay workers. We've been living through the "golden age" of TV in part due to the work of these writers.

You really think ChatGPT is capable of just plug-n-play? It'll be interesting to see the results of it. I'm rooting for it's failure if it's tried for many reasons but one especially because workers are continued to be treated as trash in this country and it'll get worse with yet another unregulated and half baked technological alternative.

What you say about dynamic dispatch also applies to regular function calls, which is why I'm disappointed that Zig provides no visible distinction at the call site between direct and indirect calls (as K&R C did but ANSI C made optional).

I thought pinboard.in is not longer maintained? "Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard (Dec '22 edition)?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34062802) There's also a June, August, November edition.
Calling the internet private and anonymous is wishful thinking. Data is constantly owned, bought and sold.
Laws like the Bank Secrecy Act where passed specifically to state that 4A doesn't apply if the data is collected from a third party and not the individual directly. Nonsense but we're here.
It's only long-buried to Americans. I barely follow South Korean discourse, but I've talked about this with my Korean friends on multiple occassions. It's also not a mystery for Okinawans who regularly protest about American soldiers raping Okinawan women.

Nor is it a mystery why Phuket and Bangkok have a giant sex industry now. That sex industry got a huge boost from American soldiers during Vietnam. There was obviously prostitution in Thailand before the Vietnam War, but I've read at least two historical accounts about Thailand during the Vietnam War and they both talked about the influence of American GIs on the sex trade there.

Hell. Contemporary Italian historians talk openly about American GIs raping Italian women in WWII. There is no mystery in any of this for the locals. It's just contemporary Americans that are ignorant.
I do generally agree with this. From what I'm reading from researchers there is a growing consensus that (for lack of a better term) "context hijacking", "phishing", "tricking", "reprogramming"... whatever you want to call it if you don't like the term prompt injection -- that it may be an unsolvable problem. Certainly, it's not solvable the same way that SQL injection is solvable.

And I don't think your concern about how people interpret the phrase "prompt injection" is unwarranted, I have myself had at least one argument already on HN with someone literally saying that prompt injection is solvable the same way that SQL injection is solvable and we just need to escape input. So the confusion is there, you're completely right about that.

But I don't know a better term to use that people already understand.

I've kind of shifted away from talking about whether prompt injection is solvable towards just trying to get people to understand that it's a problem in the first place. Because you can see a lot of replies here to your own comments on this thread -- it encourages people to immediately start arguing about whether or not it will get solved, when my beef is more that regardless of whether or not it can be solved, it's irresponsible right now for companies to be treating it like it's no big deal.

I'm a little worried that "live with it" will for many businesses translate to "we're allowed to ignore this and it will be someone else's problem" -- part of the reason why I push back so hard on people comparing prompt injection to human attacks is that I see that used very often as an excuse for why we don't need to worry about prompt injection. That's not what you're saying, but it's also an argument I've gotten into on this site; essentially people saying, "well humans are also vulnerable, so why can't an LLM manage my bank account? Why does this need to be mitigated at all?"

For anyone with a budding or casual interest in fountain pens, the Lamy Safari is the way to go. They're plentiful, inexpensive, rugged, and have plenty of nibs, cartridges, and refillable cartridges to experiment with. Just pick your color and start using it to figure out what you value in a pen.

Don't let the grip shape scare you off, you might like it more than you thought, but if not it won't ruin the value as an experimentation platform. Note that unlike a ballpoint you'll need to experiment to find the right combination of nibs, inks, and papers.

Also check out the unrelated free Handwriting Repair pdf so you don't feel ashamed and disappointed in yourself every time you use the pen. Plus it'll turn the flat shape of the nib into an advantage.

Edit: People seem to like the Pilots. I haven't tried them, but they seem to also be inexpensive and have good nib and ink options.
Sorry, but do the police actually use these powers to arrest thieves and return stolen vehicles? Or is it like when you can point to the house that your stolen iPhone is in and the police say they can't do anything.
Your "zsh/bash" code doesn't actually use any zsh/bash-only features, so it is compatible with POSIX sh. But you have a quoting bug: you should escape the `$` in `$2` and `${3...}` to protect from double-eval.

I'd personally try to minimise the use of eval, e.g.

prepend() {
local val
eval "val=\$$1"
export "$1=$2${val:+${3-:}$val}"
}

append() {
local val
eval "val=\$$1"
export "$1=${val:+$val${3-:}}$2"
}
I think companies should only be able to use H1-B workers for 10 years. 10 years is enough time to invest in recruiting training American workers for the roles.

This seems overly pessimistic to me.

Sure you're not going to use this as a consumer in place of a local disk, nor are you going to use this as part of your web app.

But there are lots of situations in reporting, batch/cron jobs, data processing, and general file administration where it's incredibly easier to use the file system interface than to use an HTTP API via a cloud storage library. Which FUSE is a godsend for. The latency doesn't matter in these cases for one-off things or scripts that already take seconds/minutes/hours anyways.

So no this isn't niche or a toy. It's a fantastic production tool for a lot of different common uses. It's not for everything but nothing is. Use the right tool for the job.
I think leaning on ChatGPT to understand others is as problematic as relying only on oneself to understand others, but now you’ve added a layer of your own interpretation depending on how you engage with ChatGPT.

Put another way, if you’re going to sources other than the individual speaking to clarify what they’re saying, the underlying issue is probably not ChatGPT or whatever the next tool is that comes around.

Another form of what you describe is leaning on one’s friends/acquaintances. Plenty of people do this, often with poor results. Reddit’s various relationship forums are a great example. I translate what I thought I heard and ask a 3rd party who wasn’t there what they hear. But by doing so, I remove even more context and make it even less likely to arrive at a useful answer.

I’m sure people will use LLMs for this, but the root issue is deeper, not caused by these tools.

I think that with time, we’ll get better at determining which types of conversations are worthwhile and which aren’t.

If I’m trying to understand a complex multi-faceted technical issue, it’s amazing to be able to drill deeper and deeper into the knowledge contained within the LLM.

If I’m trying to understand the internal states of other people, I have no reason to believe I’ll find good answers in a model that wasn’t trained on that person’s thoughts.
