Not exactly. G+ was contemporary with / the spearhead for that initiative, but the desire to reify login was something Google was planning to do for awhile; they just used G+ as the focus project around which to pin the initiative. Nobody at Google was really thrilled with having three (four? five?) credential stacks, all with their own bespoke tooling, concept of what an "account" was, security stories, and administrative needs.

(... the one thing that came out of G+ that has stuck around is infrastructure improvements. A lot of the stuff the G+ team wrote to support Google+ behind-the-scenes is still used at Google for other projects now).

I played with that approach in this post - https://friend.computer/jekyll/update/2023/04/30/wikidata-ll.... "Craft a query" is nice as it gives you a very declarative intermediate state for debugging.

Honestly you could probably convince me that RTO is better for the company. Hence why they are mandating it

But it’s not better for me.

Ultimately it will lead to a “class like” shift

Those that have no other choice will have to RTO. Those that do will likely do either but have more flexibility to stay at home.

That's the holy grail of backend mistakes, right? Unescaped user input fed into a shell, and worse, that input is their password. How long ago was this?
This kind of comment makes me genuinely angry. It's exact opposite. Repeating this lie led to painful death.

My wife is an ICU physician. I traveled with her around the country during the COVID pandemic to help provide moral support for what was a very difficult job. One of the most common, heart breaking stories were the patients who were wrongly told by their friends or the internet they were going to die if they were intubated. Now, it is your right to refuse intubation just as it is your right to refuse resuscitation. That said, my wife would recommend intubation if it was warranted and these patients would flat refuse because of information like this. Then, she would watch them slowly and painfully decompensate day by day. Weaker and weaker. Then, when they were at death's door, they would universally reverse their refusal of intubation and ask her to do everything. At this point, my wife would hold their cell phone while they video chatted their husbands, and wives, and parents, and children. Tell them how much they loved them. Then, they would crash and my wife would frantically try to intubate them and keep them alive. At this point, they had no reserves. Most of them died.

No physician in their right mind recommends intubation without cause. It's a procedure. It carries risk. However, it is vastly easier to do in a controlled setting before someone has no reserves and is crashing. It means that they could give the patients lungs a break, so they can heal.

I listened to these stories day after day after day and tried to support my wife as best as I could. Physicians are not perfect. They do make mistakes. They also have vastly more experience dealing with the intricacies of care. That said, comments like this one absolutely killed people. People who didn't need to die. That was and still is wrong.

Interesting. I have contemplated spending more on court fees than what would be my potential remedy, just for principle alone. I think that justice itself has value.
I agree. I think my point is not that we should invade for humanitarian reasons, but that I don't feel too bad about the Iraq invasion, given what I've seen.
I don’t think that’s a common expectation either. Even when software doesn’t change ownership, terms of ongoing use will change periodically. You can avoid this with some kinds of software by keeping an old version downloaded. With other kinds, like one that requires a login to validate a perpetual license, it’s not possible. I understand being dismayed by it.
How are you so sure you understand how much eastern european suffered? I am sure your Russian history has a giant bias and omits all the shit URSS stole, all the crimes they did in eastern Europe.

We are not the same, I wrongly thought that we might be more similar since we shared some trauma, but as i said I was wrong. I need to re-evaluate all the Russians I know online and try to figure-out if they in fact are imperialists/fascists that think God chose their nation to rule Eastern Europe or if they are the smarter/human Russians.

The title says "GPU vendor-agnostic". But in fact for AMD only professional (expensive) GPUs are supported (ROCm is officially unsupported on most consumer and integrated GPUs).

To be truly vendor-agnostic it needs to support OpenGL or Vulkan.

Also this is the first time I saw examples of Julia code and the syntax looks worse than C++.
Our eyes are the least sensitive to it so it requires more light (which means more overall brightness, which actually makes your night vision worse and limits visibility of everything not lit, because your iris closes more) and it provides poor visibility/contrast and no color vision.

The only advantage red light offers is not disrupting your circadian rhythm.

Airplane instrument panels are lit with white. Saab, Volvo, and plenty of others use white or nearly white light for their dashboards.

Blue is used in theater only because it is less noticeable to the audience when it spills or reflects somewhere it shouldn't.

The real question is: especially with even 10 year old car headlights being so much better than the utter trash car headlights were 30 or more years ago, why are we still wasting so much energy, and impacting wildlife, and hurting millions of people's circadian rhythms, blasting streets with light all night?

There isn't even any argument in terms of public safety; there's never been any proof that lighting reduces crime. Lack of lighting forces people up to no good doing things where they shouldn't be, to use lights themselves - which stands out much, much more than someone doing something they shouldn't be under outdoor floodlights.

Yeah, except that if the migration process doesn't work for some reason, you have zero recourse. Mojang/Microsoft tech support is apparently extremely uninterested in helping people who bought a supposedly "perpetual" license a decade ago. (Or at least, extremely unreliable at doing so.)

After not playing the game for a few years, I tried to migrate my account back when they first announced the migration. Emails from their "password reset" button never arrive, and every time I go through their support ticket system, all they tell me is that they "can't verify my information" -- even though I still have the same email address I signed up with, and the original PayPal receipt. But they won't tell me what other information they want, so I guess I'm SOL.
> Is there a reason healthy 75 year olds can't take part in caring for the infirm?

Given o lot of people are giving up on marrying/having children, I believe the main reason is (or soon will be) lack of remaining close people in the appropriate age bracket.
I bought a license over a decade ago and refuse to migrate anything to a Microsoft account on general principle. I don't care what IP they bought, I shouldn't have to have any relationship with that company when I didn't buy a single thing from them.

Stupid question: What open source solution can give me an easy Datadog(ish) experience and is simple to implement?
It is mainly per host $15 or $23 PCM with the first 5-10 containers free then $0.002 per hour (~$1.5 PCM) per container. The insight and stats you get are quite granular and valuable however. For large scale deployments you can ignore certain containers etc.
We know perfectly well what this all means and where it's going.
20+ years ago, I was in a situation that, at this high level anyway, was similar to what you're describing. The collections agency had also put a black mark on my credit history. I don't recall the details, but to whatever extent I did contact the medical provider or the insurance company, they claimed to be unable to help me. (I no longer owed them money, afterall.) The amount I supposedly owed was some hundreds of dollars, not thousands.

After repeatedly failing to have any success communicating with the collections agency, I sent a letter to the Better Business Bureau about the situation. The collector stopped contacting me and my credit history was restored. I never spoke with a lawyer about it and don't know if my approach to addressing the problem was typical.

From my experience, I would suggest that you take the fight to the collector. They are the ones to whom you currently supposedly owe money. (I did not attempt to sue anyone, though, and maybe that detail, or others, would change the answer for your specific situation.)
Almost like the enforcement is highly selective and rife with abuse worse than the comments themselves. Huh, weird.
Agreed with this. IMO, it should charge a one time fee to handle it all, and probably more than $19. I can't see many people suing folks monthly. Charge me $40 or $50 and take care of everything for me!
It's...close-ish? It could really use default non-blocking IO, but honestly the reason no one's made one integrated solution yet is that giving a callback that pushes to a channel is mostly fine. I'd like something a little more robust obviously, but it's by no means a toy.

Poking Nintendo: Why the 'Lockpick' DMCA Blitz Should Surprise No One
There are a few ways to use Langchain. Firstly, the docs are a mess. What I personally did, I followed the notebook from OpenAI cookbook on embedding a code base, and one on embedding the docs, and querying over that with GPT-4.

After a while of doing that, I realised like many others that it's too high of an abstraction. In the end I think you're better off just looking at their source code, and just looking at how they've implemented the stuff in normal python and then adapting it for your own needs.
Fwiw, I've seen the Hollywood-ish copyright-maximalist community comment to itself about Yglesias posts, and so can easily imagine a post drawing comments representative of that community, rather than of "regular people".

If I'm being completely honest, I can't judge that at all, because it's far from clear to me what, specifically, people mean by "alignment" when they use that term. And I'm pretty sure that different people are meaning different things.

Cancer thrives on any kind of NAD source, not specifically Nicotinamide Riboside. Even milk poses a risk of increased tumor growth (it contains NAD, a lot of it). But it only applies to those who have the ongoing oncology in the first place, so... blaming NR for causing cancers is probably a misfire.
The people who actually use ClojureDart today disagree:

> ClojureDart is production-ready: you can ship applications right now.

Source: https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart (i.e. the developers themselves)

See a live coding session/demo given a week ago here and decide for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqBeGpuedf0

ClojureDart is very similar to ClojureScript (which the GP is already comfortable with). If you can create and deploy an app with ClojureScript, you can 100% deploy something with ClojureDart today.

Re: Clojure-not-for-n00bs, I 100% agree and haven't met anyone in the Clojure ecosystem who would disagree. Clojure developers have consistently the most experience of any language ecosystem I've worked in over the last 25 years.
says what evidence? it's pretty much been debunked for a long time, and the whole premise is apparently based on bad science. I'm pretty sure i read an article here on hn that showed that this whole blue light scare was based on old science with extremely limited sample sizes and extreme exposure. i tried to link to an article from 2016 that still says that it affects sleep because i hastily read the first part. trying to dig up the article i read seems to be hard, but at least I'm still pretty sure that the science is not settled on the matter at all.

I haven't checked exactly how much juice the server is pulling now. It was somewhere in 120-150w range with low utilization when I first got it, but I have considerably more disks and VMs now so probably around 200 to 250ish.

I did some rough estimates to see if the big disks were more cost effective than the 6tb ones and came to the conclusion small disks were worth it for me. The long term cost was pretty close though in the midwest where electricity is like 15 cents per kWh, giant disks would definitely be the better choice in CA.

That's surprising. You'd think spreading the workload start over 10 seconds would lower the size of spikes (integrated over a second) by at most a factor of 10.

But the above point is still true: many jobs take a few minutes to run. 60s of dispersion in start time is better than nothing, but you really want more.

(In this case, things are still quantized to a minute boundary, so you'd really want both).

Back in the days when this kind of thing happened on the telephone, the SERIOUSLY passive aggressive trick was to talk to them, and then hang up on yourself. Repeatedly.

"Hi this is Arnie from CHewemup'n'Spitemout Staffing, is this Bob?"

"Hey Arnie, what perfect timing! I just started looking for a new opportunity, and I'm really excited to— CLICK."

Ring ring.

"This is Arnie, we seem to have been cut off."

"Oh Arnie, right, thought you hung up on me."

"No, not me, must be a bad connection. You were saying?"

"Yes, I was saying this is a great time to talk about opportunities. I just finished a major Java Enterprise JavaBeans project, and I'm— CLICK."

Lather, rinse, repeat, as the meme used to go before we called them memes.
The article is definitely still high level and mean't to provide enough understanding of what capabilities are today. Some of what you are mentioning goes deeper on how you take these learnings/tools and come up with the any number of solutions to fit the problem you are solving for.

> "Do you use the whole document as context directly? Do you summarize the documents first using the LLM (now the risk of hallucination in this step is added)?"

In my opinion the best approach is to take a large document and break it down into chunks before storing as embeddings and only querying back the relevant passages (chunks).

> "What about that trick where you shrink a whole document of context down to the embedding space of a single token (which is how ChatGPT is remembering the previous conversations)"

Not sure I follow here but seems interesting if possible, do you have any references?

This is definitely doable but just adds to the overall processing/latency (if that is a concern).
