Yes, that's how I understood it to work. But the readme in that Github repo shows a crontab entry to run it every hour, and the script checks if the user is currently logged in.

If it actually worked like this, you would have to get up from your desk exactly on the hour, which certainly seems more annoying than useful!

The whole repo is supposed to be a joke of course, just a badly thought out one that I find confusing rather than funny.
>The fact that even guys as influential as Spielberg and Tarantino are worried about having their past work censored

So I guess HN, or most Americans ( East or West End ) can now finally agree this is a serious problem?

I still remember in 2019 and even in 2021, HN's majority position was that people were too focused on culture war and this is only the minority of people who cares about it.
Oh, he said it was sad how this all went down.
Honestly, who cares if you're sad about it, Jack. You egged him on at the time. You have some responsibility for this mess.
Tiling window managers like i3 do everything you described.
I think you would be surprised if you saw how much debris there is up there. These satelites are at least providing value to people.
Even just typing what I had it write for me, and a typing speed well above average, would take many times as long, and I've done enough sites over the years to know I would not keep up that kind of typing speed, because I'd need to check things and go back and forth.

Put another way: People who don't pick up these tools and learn how to be effective at them will increasingly be at a significant performance disadvantage from people at their skill level who do pick them up.
Even a coauthor of the Dodd-Frank act said that the repeal didn't contribute.

Yes. It is inappropriate for most things. It's an LLM. It predicts the next word. People are throwing it at all kinds of problems that are not only inappropriate, but their ability to assess the quality of its output is questionable.

E.g., lots of HN users claim to use it for dev or learning new programming languages. Given the frequency of hallucination and their Dunning-Kruger complexes in full-effect, they don't know when it's teaching bad information or functions that don't exist.

It's an LLM. Not an AGI.
What is the probability of an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out humanity? I've seen numbers like 0.000001%, yet NASA is spending real money on mitigating this risk. Is the risk of fast takeoff AI dramatically lower than that?
For me it's not about building perfect system. It's this gut feeling that you're using wrong tools. Like you're trying to build a house, but all you have is a set of old car tires and a bunch of duct tape. It just feels ill-suited for the task.

That's not just REST/JSON, of course. That's the general feeling I have from web-ecosystem. Recently I had to work with a simple HTTP form with one field and a single checkbox that is shown conditionally. Hours of debugging revealed that you can't just POST unchecked checkbox [1]. There is no difference between "unchecked checkbox" and "no checkbox". Instead you have to resort to hacks with hidden input field. It's just all feel hackish and you constantly question yourself – am I doing something wrong or it's just this whole stack is a set of hacks on top of hacks?

Same feeling with REST/JSON. Once your API grows past simple CRUD you start caring about optional values and error codes. Ambiguity seems fine until project grows and more people join and introduce inconsistency: one call returns 200 OK for error, other returns 5xx/4xx (cost of choice). Now you have to enforce rules with static checkers and other tools. You bring more tools just to keep the API sane, and it all, again, feels hackish and ill-suited. I don't have this feeling with gRPC - it feels like perfectly designed for APIs.

I remember FVWM was able to put windows inside its panels so it was possible to make a tabbed window that contained different programs. It is very customizable and fun to play with when you have the time.
well since nobody here has mentioned it one of the big draws of vinyl (certainly to us djs) is that on a turntable like a technics you can adjust the tempo with no loss in quality. this isn't possible digitally.

For an example of a system that does indeed do this, see Plan 9 where the window manager can itself run inside a window. Why might you want to do this? Well, you might be connected to a remote machine in that window (akin to SSH) and want to see your desktop there.

The Home Assistant built in grocery store list maker is amazing
There is some previous art in mainstream OS’s about this, and it was all as great as you put it tbh

macOS made the tabbing native by giving windows (only of the same app) the ability to get merged into a single window with a tab bar (in Sierra https://www.macworld.com/article/228274/how-to-use-tabs-in-m...). It all has the same behaviors as Safari, including the one of “popping out” a tab into its own window. Apps that use the native window controls and the native window lifecycle manager get it for free and by default, but there is no way to get it otherwise (AFAIK), and apps can opt-out.

Windows 10 had this feature for a while in the Insiders build, called “Sets” (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/11/tabs-come-to-every-w...), which made every window available to be tabbed together with any other window, from any app, no specific code or framework necessary. It worked very well and was neat af, but it got scrapped :( https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-shelves-windows-10-...

There is a reimplementation of this by Stardock https://www.stardock.com/products/groupy/

On a personal note, I’ve been using Arc’s implementation of Spaces and Tabs, and it feels super natural and productive. With some tweaking, I think this would be a great UX for window managers, and I’ve found myself really needing it for my whole OS. Maybe Stage Manager can get there at some point (although right now it is bad as hell).

> leads straight to something not much different from human intelligence, just faster,

Human brains are massively parallel, as are most machine learning models – but the hardware to process the latter isn't. I'm not confident it could necessarily be faster.
Hear, hear.

I saw those two things and was wondering if they really meant to add additional terms after saying something is public domain... not a lawyer, still: I don't think that makes (legal) sense.
I think the main issue is in a way that gpt like models generate output.
eg. when you write some serious document or write code you don't just start from the first line and write the whole application in one go (line by line)
you write the basic "hello world" like app, and then modify, modify, modify and modify until you have something advanced enough.

i think that's the reason ReAct and other ai improving methods are so effective, because that add ai space to "think" in some way.

I think breakthrough would be a way that would allow ai to have its own inner voice, maybe some fine tuning and giving ai some scratchpad memory (hidden) would be enough?
Gefs: A good enough filesystem for Plan 9
Unless there is a breakthrough that simultaneously delivers:

-low cost

-high quality

-low latency

-large token count

interactions over all of human knowledge in every language, it’s almost a tautology to suggest we will focus AI systems to be subject matter based over some subset to solve the cost/latency factor.

This is why the Y just invested $20M in a legal specific AI.

Who Will Teach the Teachers
Folks, NASA's Surveyor program (1966-68) is a better comparison here, not Apollo. It made the first moon landing by the US (after the Russian's Luna 9, 4 months before), and the first landing of the series was successful, though some of the others failed. It was a fully automatic landing, unlike Neil Armstrong's.

It built on lessons learned from the many failures of the Ranger program before it. And the Russians lost 12 landers before their first success.

Asteroid impacts have been demonstrated over and over to have obvious and widespread consequences.

I'd liken AI to alien invasion. We can imagine bad scenarios, but have absolutely zero data, experience, or sound theories predicting anything. It's all scifi.
We know how to implement the known improvements. We don't know how we're generating those improvements.
Faster is still enough to be dangerous
We have an example: The brain.

We can learn really fast with limited data. There are no laws of physics that are preventing us to do the same with an artificial LLM, or the next platform.
For the same reason car designs share a base. So the base for a workstation (precision) and office (latitude) is basucally the same, but upgrade options are different, e.g. Xeon and quadro options.
> seize millions of USD worth of assets you don't own, but that's the gist of it yes

Technically true, but he's looking for $4 b-b-billion.

Some thoughts about this that interest me:

- Things like the Bitcoin Cash fork & DAO fork arguably set the precedent that the developers control the funds. They never should have done that because now anybody can argue "you did it for them, why not me?" And this time it's being argued in the legal domain instead of just on heated GitHub comments. Judges aren't known for understanding the details of blockchains and can probably swing either way on this, especially if you jurisdiction shop.

- The "assets you don't own" part. He can't prove he had the keys, or lost the keys. But he just needs to present a compelling argument, not have an argument beyond a shadow of a doubt. The fact that the real Satoshi is unlikely to appear to defend themself makes it easier for Wright to argue Wright had the keys at some point, even if he wasn't the first or last owner.

- Combining these points: If you have established you will change the blockchain through a compelling argument; and if _nobody_ presents the keys; but if you have the best compelling argument _without_ the keys, then the coins probably belong to you.

- The big problems that lead to this situation were opening the Pandora's box of blockchain forks; & the tying of physical identities to wallets through KYC (which was the death of BTC.)
Since we're considering practicality, let's change the statement to: “There is no algorithm for deciding if an arbitrary given program with size less than 1000 bytes halts which can be implemented without solving several famous open mathematical problems”. I think my program pretty clearly shows that this is true.

> What is the ubiquitous utility for interacting with gRPC? We have curl for REST.

Kreya, for example, haha (check the original link of this post).

There are many, actually, including curl-like tools. But I almost never use them. Perhaps it's because my typical workflow involves working with both server and app in a monorepo, so when I change proto file, I regenerate both client and server.

Just once I had to debug the actual content being sent via gRPC (actually I was interested in the message sizes) and Wireshark did job perfectly.
No, most of the time, if I use private, what I really wanted is private. And it does exactly what I want. So speak for yourself.

Yes, space is huge, however offsetting that a bit is satellites in LEO orbit at something like 20,000 MPH, so reaction time for collision avoidance is lower than you might expect, and impact velocity will result in a very large debris field.
Termux is one of my favorite mobile app. Especially because I can run basically whatever I want to it as long as it's in text mode. X11 support is there but honestly that too janky for me and I'm more comfortable with cli any ways. There are some bonkers things we can do with this. Like running dwarf fortress on it[1]. My favorite thing is running Julia+Pluto so I can do stupid toys on it.

I sometimes wonder what kind of stress I'm putting on my phone by doing this.

Any good examples on how to do this for non-trivial API changes?
My homemade butter was always exceptionally bland and no where near as good as store bought.
Precisely. So much of the negativity in this thread (and elsewhere) weirdly conflates Deno with a language.

Deno is an open source runtime for TypeScript (and JavaScript and WASM). One that has been delightful, in my experience, for system scripting, build tooling, and CLI apps.

Deno Deploy is a hosted runtime that is very similar, but not open source.

The complaining in this thread reads to me like people complaining that the company that makes AWS Lambda also makes DynamoDB.

This new Deno KV is a fantastic addition to both of their runtimes. Dead simple, no need to sign up for some other service, works out of the box in either case.

But nobody is forcing you to use it. You don't have to opt out of it. If you don't like it, then you can go use all the other database layers that you could before this announcement.
Author doesn't say that there should be know limits for certain hierarchies if they make no sense like a workspace in an alert box.

But what about a workspace in a workspace in a workspace etc.

One is a limit based on the logic of a hierarch, the other ist jus a limit.

The former is a strict rule, no workspace in an alert box, the latter depends on the level inside the hierarchy, one is obvious, one might be hard to know and keep track of.

The criticism seems well-founded, but at the same time, perfect is the enemy of good. If the book is entertaining, I think people should be allowed to learn through their mistakes if the alternative is not learning at all. We need more people who feel empowered to build interpreters and whatever they want without worrying too much about proper form.

My dad was a high school math teacher who became a COBOL programmer by accident in the early 1980s because a large local IT company put out an ad saying they’ll hire anyone with a college degree. A couple of years later, when I was eight, I was writing terrible BASIC programs and asked him if it’s possible to invent a new programming language. He showed me how to write an interpreter in BASIC for a custom language. It wasn’t useful for anything and it certainly had no LISP-like elegance, but it was a revelation to me that everything that happens on the computer was defined by people, and I can be one of those people even if I’m an eight-year-old in the middle of nowhere.

Related question: If a driver kills someone and it's his fault, he will presumably get large fines or even go to jail. But if the same thing happens with a self-driving car, whose faul is it then? The owner of the car? The car company? It seems nobody is really at fault, mistakes are just bound to happen eventually, and a car company can't go to jail anyway.
If I want it to just write code where I know exactly what I want, I will have it write code. ChatGPT can write code and fill in things when you give it something well specified very quickly.

My point was that if you just ask it an ambiguous question it will return something that is a best guess. It's what it does. To get it to act the way the person above want it to, you need to feed it a suitable prompt first.

You don't need to write a new set of instructions every time. When I "co-write" specs with it, I cut and paste a prompt that I'm gradually refining as I see what works, and I get answers that fit the context I want. When I want it to spit out Systemd unit files, I cut and paste a prompt that works for that.

The stuff I'm using it for is stuff where I couldn't possibly produce what it spits out as productively not because it's hard but because even typing well above average typing speed I couldn't possibly type that fast.
We don't know the probability of either, because we haven't mapped every asteroid, and we don't know what AI breakthroughs are reachable.

For the best AI researchers, creating better AI systems takes only time and compute. If we can create systems with the ability to do anything at the level of the best human, as Jacob believes is possible, then these systems can do AI research at the level of the best human, and creating better AI systems is mostly a matter of compute. (AI systems are easy to copy, so time is irrelevant to the extent that the research can be parallelized.) In this scenario, the paradigm-changing breakthroughs can come from the AI system itself.

The AI system would be bottlenecked by data in the sense that it will have to run experiments, but it's not clear that it needs a new paradigm to resolve this bottleneck. It just has to propose an experiment and interpret its results. So it writes code, and the experimental outcome gets fed back into the model as any other normal input. As an AI researcher, I'd like to believe that this is not going to happen anytime soon, but I'm not sure we're far.
I can only conclude that both the junior and senior were inappropriate hires if people really think the output of an LLM is anything approaching that of an appropriate human being. It's saying a lot about where people work, IMO.

Perhaps it made people more aware of that fact, but this was always true. Bitcoin has never been "trustless"; that's always been a mirage. (Not even the original Bitcoin whitepaper makes that claim, and it claims some pretty dubious things!)
