I think it's important to distinguish what one might call "inauthentic behavior" and "behavior that goes beyond ones own personal preferences".

The party example is a good point. A very common thing is to go to a friends party as a show of support for their thing, and to, for lack of a better word, have numbers be good. But it's not inauthentic to support your friend's thing! Sometimes you do a thing because it's for someone else.

And when the wave of departures happen... there is a mix of "I also wanted to leave", but "oh I guess it's time to leave" is another, and "oh I'm not totally done but it's starting to end so" are all on the spectrum of possibilities, and ones that I've held.

I think this group behavior is ... authentic and human. Acting on what you are thinking, at its extreme, is kind of indistinguishable from having no impulse control.
I've used Wordpress a long time ago and hated it.

Has there been recent improvements? I remember a terrible mess of tangled PHP that would easily break when performing minor changes.

“For every order of magnitude change everything breaks.” An oversimplified rule of thumb - but I think it applies here.
FIDO security keys don't store login-specific information. Passkeys do, which raises the lock-in problem.

To be clear, I want to be able to use passkeys, or something close, but I won't if I can't control my keys, and I can't if I can't use them cross-platform.

Do Passkeys even support attestation? What would they even attest to, given that the credential is effectively not bound to any secure hardware?

To my knowledge, Apple has ripped out their "anonymous attestation" service together with introducing Passkeys in iOS 16; before that, requesting attestation was an option to opt out of Passkey syncing (and create a device-bound credential).
Ask HN: SaaS Login System Issue
I have built a system that after a user successfully logs in to a website, an encrypted cookie is set with the user ID (uuid in db) and a token.

To prevent cookie theft, the token is re-generated on each and every request the browser sends, and the cookie updated/replaced.

On each request, the back-end verifies the token in the encrypted cookie to the token stored in the DB for that user account, if not matching, the user is signed out.

Now, i stumbled on a big issue last night. My internet connection was being wonky and requests didnt reach the server so i ended up hammering away multiple requests.... and when one finally reached the server, the token got updated(as it should), and all the other requests in queue then had the wrong token, and i was signed out.

My question is, how do I prevent this?

One solution I came up with is to not! regenerate the token on each! user-made request, but instead automatically with javascript send an ajax request ever ~5 minute, to re-generate the token.

grateful for any thoughts!
have a great day!

I don’t understand. Either your saying adding or removing elements to an array doesn’t manipulate memory, or you’re saying adding or removing elements in an array does manipulate memory, but the developer doesn’t care due to the GC.

If it’s the second option, why has (almost) every other language chosen with a GC to start arrays with 0?

ARM-based Macs are the easiest way to get an acceptable performance without the headaches right now, if you can afford the price.

Install https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui, update pytorch and llamacpp-python, and you should be able to run pretty much all models out there, in all formats, both on GPU and CPU. CPU on a MAC gives you the fastest speed, but you should pass the correct --threads argument (investigate how many performance cores you've got). GPU is slower, but more energy efficient. https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm gives me way better GPU performance compared to oobabooga, but they only support a couple of models right now, - it's worth following their progress though.

If you're after the raw performance, I suggest using GGML models (meant for llama.cpp, but it's bundled in textgen, so you can use it there with the convenience of a web ui). q4_0 is the fastest quantization, while the q5_1 is the best quality right now.

If the GGML is not available, you can generate it quite easily from the safetensors yourself (not the you need enough RAM to load the model in pytorch though).

With 16GB RAM you can run any 13G model, as long as it's quantized to 4/5 bits. 32GB RAM allows you running 30/33G models and 64GB RAM - 65G models. 30G and 60G models are way more useful for real world tasks, but they are more expensive to train, so there aren't as many to choose from compared to 7/13. 7B and anything less is a toy in my opinion while 13B is good enough for experimentation and prototyping.
This doesn't solve anything, sadly.

You are entirely at the behest of Bigco as to whether they will require keys signed by any particular device's certificates, and they have no incentive to allow interoperability here.

> What? You can compile it with just the stuff you need and only activate stuff without any dependencies.

Sure, but running config alone takes like 10-15 minutes on my PC with an Intel I7-9700K processor at 4.9GHz. This is while using all my cores at 100% CPU usage too, it's ridiculous. And not only that, you'll likely have to run this massive script several times to tweak the config until you're happy with what you're using. Then actually compiling the library statically takes another 15-20 minutes. So I think the remark that it's huge and consisting of several DLL files is spot on.

> Static linking is also possible if too many 'DLL' files is a issue.

FFmpeg doesn't recommend static linking.

Probably the next best thing is Mercury. https://mercurylang.org/ I'd also say that if you get a chance to definitely learn Prolog! One nice thing about Prolog is that you can start more from an application angle and explore the language in a way that might motivate you and interest you more than the dryer approach of more general language learning. Classic NLP can be a lot of fun, for example. https://cs.union.edu/~striegnk/courses/nlp-with-prolog/html/ is a good free starting point, but the best starting point is one of Covington's classic texts on the subject.

I figured that must be the case when my newly published NPM package got 100 downloads of the initial beta version. Still kinda cool to think that you put something out and it's immediately getting reproduced. (Or freaky, depending on your perspective).

Similarly, there are a bunch of requests in my site's analytics for files that don't exist - some of them are normal, like the sitemap, but others seem to be WordPress and other framework specific files (my site is not a WP site). My guess (without any background knowledge or research) is that bots are trying to fetch these files to scan for known vulnerabilities. Again, kinda neat or scary depending on your standpoint.
Not sure why you think the person you replied to wouldn't have issue with US doing it?

I don't know enough about the situation to guess if their comment about China is 100% accurate or complete nonsense, but if it is the case then I'm against that and against many of the things the US has done to/in other countries over the past century. I'm not American, but even Americans are allowed to have views that don't align with how their country's political leaders have acted over the years.
Effectively, they really do (yes, the Relying Party technically stored the encrypted credential, but to the user, their keys really "are in the Yubikey" in any meaningful way).

But more importantly, they (to my knowledge) don’t offer any in-ecosystem-only backup/sync functionality, which would make switching vendors that much harder and thereby create platform/vendor lock-in.

Most ancaps/Austrians have spent significant time researching and learning, so the tolerance for low effort over confident retorts on forums is minimal.

I'd love some kind of reference for this. I'm hoping you're right.

My understanding is that iOS does still very much support attestation (https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/managed-device-at...) but I would be very happy to be proven wrong about that. I think attestation is harmful and should never have been part of the spec.

> What would they even attest to, given that the credential is effectively not bound to any secure hardware?

Originally at least, passkeys did support attestation in the form of reporting which authenticator had issued the passkey. Again, I would love for that to change. If Apple went full-anonymous with its passkeys and did not even sign the request to verify it was coming from an Apple device, that would be a really big deal for me. It would effectively make it impossible for any serious service to block anonymous attestation.

But my guess is that they probably just eased up on the hardware part of it and that they're still allowing requests to ask if the key is coming from an Apple device. Again, if anyone has documentation proving me wrong, please share it. I would love to check off the attestation problem from my list.
You’re almost certainly going to have to write your own splitting code for anything nontrivial. LlamaIndex breaks down hard when there’s a lot of markup in the document, for example. You’ll also want control over the vector search strategy (just using the query or chunk embedding may not be enough)

Those things are nothing alike.

GPT is a very specific family of models, all created by OpenAI. The copy-cats came after OpenAI released those models, specifically to point out similarities with the OpenAI-created models.

LLM is a generic term and cannot be trademarked.

Yeah, I used hono.dev to write it. So much fun! took me an hour or so...
In fact, Google and Apple have recently started synchronizing Passkeys to the user‘s cloud account, which effectively undoes any specific device binding.

As a Relying Party, you can’t know what authentication method will be used for either enrolling a new device, or on the new device itself.
Isn’t tying specifically to a device and biometrics the point?

Because people who have strong preferences (for whatever reason) for one mode or another really hate the idea that the system that isn't their preference could end up strongly normed (as it mostly was in the case of in-office work pre-pandemic).

If you like being in an office most days, you probably don't really want an environment where most of your co-workers are at home and everything's a video call anyway. And if you prefer to work from home but most of your teammates/collaborators are co-located in an office, be prepared for people to basically forget you exist.

OK, before you post “who would ever listen to AI-generated podcasts?” please listen to a few. I think you’ll be impressed with the voice quality.

What excites me about AI-generated podcasts is not to produce a lot of mediocre quality at scale. But that for the first time ever it becomes economically viable to generate audio content personalized to your individual preferences.

I’d love to get your suggestions. But right now I’m considering the following types of data sources:

- Local weather forecast
- Daily email summary
- News headlines for your specific industry
- Updates on your (stock) portfolio companies

The product isn’t quite there yet. But one idea is to provide you with a daily morning episode just for you.

Please let me know what you think.

The US$1B Ponzi Scheme That Hooked Warren Buffet and the U.S. Treasury
Eh, I've got 20 years in tech under my belt and I'm totally comfortable with everything I do being temporal. I'm not talking about NASA reliable-- I dont work on stuff where downtime=dead people, so that's a big caveat-- I'm talking about day-to-day manageable for the length of its useful life. It can be good without being perfect forever. It can even be perfect for a little while and good enough for a long while and still be worth it.

A scant 11 years ago, I was about to obtain an MSCS degree and was chatting with my follow students about what they wanted to do. There was talk about designing compilers or webapps or games or databases. I mentioned I thought AI was pretty cool and the universal answer was I should not waste time on that.
Thanks for the link. I skimmed the docs and couldn't find a motivation section. Can you expand on how you find it less restrictive and more intuitive.

My first impression is that this is a paradigm mismatch and an 'API' masquerading as a "language". LMQApi? Looks fine, and we have all the necessary ports for (query, model, []constraints, ...).

So what's the language bit? It's the 'scripted prompt'. That's the only bit that is reasonably a 'language', but as a language it is all over the place. Semantics are rather wild, don't you agree?

sample(temperature=0.8)
"A list of things not to forget when going to the sea (not travelling): \n"
backpack = []
for i in range(5):
"-[THING]"
backpack.append(THING.strip())
print(backpack)
from
'openai/text-ada-001'
where
STOPS_AT(THING, "\n")

This part reminds of shell scripting (and what I hate about it). For example, what are the semantics of > "something quoted" < in this language? How about "THING" and THING? Is that a token, a variable, or both?

So, we really have an 'imperative' language part (the scripted prompt) and then a pretense at "declarative language" with the elaborated api call spelled out as a sqlish query.

p.s. I appreciate and laud the effort of the team which produced this. This is just feedback.
Ask HN: Best language or library for handling data streams from sensors?
I'm often in a situation where I have some sensors (e.g. temperature, camera, seismometer, GPS, CO2 concentration, force/torque sensor, spectra from instrument ...), and I want to collect that data with a bit of live processing and display. LabView seems popular for this, but I'd like something free and open source. I've built some systems like this in python and some in C++, but it feels like "reinventing the wheel" each time. I'd like something where I define inputs, define some live plots, define storage, and I'm done. Maybe ROS is the way to go?

Still, it's good to be an option. If you see this as an advancement you can choose something like MIT if you don't like your code to be trained by a paid copilot then you can choose something like MIT-Human only.

It's a better solution than don't use GitHub at all. And whether we like it or not, a new license should be introduced to address the new data model.
