If YouTube blocks me from watching videos because I use an ad blocker then I'll stop watching videos on YouTube. I don't care if this doesn't hurt YouTube... it will help me stop spending so much time on YouTube.
I very often choose between the Digikey and Mouser. I guess I won't burn myself on Mouser again. Having these issues as a hobbyist is one thing, were deadlines don't really matter. But I won't gamble with it in my job.
And they would've been right in 2019. The hype was not matching the technology. The fact that gpt got so good is pure coincidence and not a result of the chat agent folks being some kind of visionairies.

Maybe some technological breakthrough comes along that makes the metaverse not suck. But if you're gonna build your company around such hopes and it works, then you're not smart, but just lucky. Or you need to build the breakthroughs yourself, but it doesn't look like that's what zuck is doing.
I'm just sad that these pushes for over the top minimum wage for low skill jobs has really limited the options of my children for summer jobs. Growing up it was practically a right of passage to get a "McJob" for the summer to pay for movie tickets, keeping gas in your car, and just having fun with your friends in general without having to ask your parents for cash. That little bit of independence and learning the value of working hard for the things you want was so important as teenager, and now I fear it will be gone soon. It was also such a humbling experience that has shaped how I interact with the people I encounter that work customer facing jobs.
I think it's more like... employee is put on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), employee goes to doctor and gets an Adderall script, employee is taken off PIP and management considers this a job well done.
On a related note as someone who uses YouTube constantly YouTube Premium is absolutely worth it.
That's something this community celebrates. Look at how much Uber and AirBNB are touted as success stories when really they were illegal enterprises allowing individuals to violate the law (taxi licenses, rental laws) for profit.
If Bard is using PaLM 2, Google is in serious trouble. Here's its offering for "the simplest PostgreSQL query to get month-over-month volume and percentage change." Note that no actual calculations take place and the query generates a syntax error because it references a phantom column. GPT 3.5 and 4 handle this with ease.

SELECT
month,
volume,
percentage_change
FROM (
SELECT
date_trunc('month', created_at) AS month,
SUM(quantity) AS volume
FROM orders
GROUP BY date_trunc('month', created_at)
) AS monthly_orders
ORDER BY month;
I'm baffled that Mouser and Digi-Key haven't put the same effort into a Kicad pluggin to replicate that capability.
I understand the laws of physics are in effect, but the big thing keeping me from even remotely considering a foldable is the durability of the internal screen. The newer Galaxy Fold's have some sort of plastic/glass composite, but it still scratches super easily, and it's not serviceable at all.
Wholesale buyers are willing to pay 3x to 5x (depends on the location) more than electricity distributors.

Electricity distributors may add a markup of over 10x on resale. For many reasons, it's easier to get energy out of them so you just won't pay the full ~10x markup on the wholesale market.
I do think that robots.txt is pretty useful. If I want my content indexed, I can help the engine find my content. If indexing my content is counterproductive, then I can ask that it be skipped. So it helps the align my interests with the search engine; I can expose my content or I can help the engine avoid wasting resources indexing something that I don't want it to see.

It would also be useful to distinguish training crawlers from indexing crawlers. Maybe I'm publishing personal content. It's useful for me to have it indexed for search, but I don't want an AI to be able to simulate me or my style.
hmmm, I'm having trouble finding a ggml model version... my google-fu force is not with me today. Do you know of a source?

How do you know? Have you seen it? The website itself is very sketchy, full of unrealistic claims and very vague explanations, it reads like a fanfic. Of course do people not buy this, it just smells too hard of scam.

They only allow you to signup for the search AI waiting list if you are using chrome.
It's price matched with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 that's a direct form factor competitor. There are some more mid market competitors but they're not on their own out there at 1800 USD.
You still need to be picky about teams. Where I am currently pays decently, has interesting work, and is small enough that there is meaningful progression, and is low drama. (We're hiring, check my profile for email if you like some of the stuff I mentioned above!)

So, my one example disputes your claim. :)
> Nobody was hurt in the latter case.

Except the honest competitor who was passed over for the position, or the promotion?
Still a viable option and I’d bet is how a solid % of the websites on the web are published/updated.
For sure. The Dan Deacon AI concert at the beginning of this was was pretty good (mostly due to Dan being a crazy genius).
It only takes one mistake, but this was a pretty easy one to prevent. At a mature company with a decent security program, creating an internet facing Jenkins instance wouldn't have been approved by IT, doesn't matter if it was an intern with an overworked manager trying to set it up. So it is pretty bad that a security company failed at something as basic as minimizing their attack surface (and possibly not sufficient segmentation between the dev environment and customer data, but the post is not very detailed on that part). Not surprising, though.
Yeah. Subscribed as soon as my kid got old enough to use it
And that's just the ones that get reported. Since core Jenkins is pretty bare-bones, most instances also have many plugins installed, and most of those aren't properly reviewed at all.
Semantic web for robots?
I don't think it's a stretch to assume that infosec experts/hackers have ways to falsify their online identities.

Maybe I am unfamiliar with jsdoc, or what the shape of Node from acorn is, but yeah if every function is returning any, that seems like a big downgrade and sacrifice.
Is this in the USA or Europe? I think it's important to point out given how widespread blatantly false information is given by leftist Americans when comparing US health insurance to European Health insurance.

> I've been thinking about trying to trademark it, but it's expensive and complicated, especially if I can't get a trademark personally and transfer it to a business in the future

Trademarks are a bit of a pain, but you totally can get the trademark registered to you personally and transfer it to a different entity later.

The main things people miss about trademarks is that they're category-specific (If I have trademark "Foo" for a food product, that doesn't prevent someone else from getting trademark "Foo" for sporting goods), and that you have to actively be doing business (in that category) using the trademark first. You can't register the trademark until after you've been engaging in commerce with it.
Ah yes - I misread your suggestion. Seems feasible in that case.
You and the rest of the team are one of the best parts of the Dart ecosystem. I'm really excited about this release. Thanks for all the hard work.

Also I'm so glad to see that updated long term vision for Dart. I've argued for a while now that it was more constrained than it should be and it was overlooked in a lot of use cases where it was actually a great language choice (i.e I write and run a bunch of cloud native backend services using Dart gRPC and Cloud Run and to me it's one of the best kept secrets about the language). Seeing that public commitment from the team is a big deal and much appreciated.
I recall years ago someone suggesting that a 1:2 split being faster and I'm wondering if they were seeing the same thing, and either didn't follow it through to conclusion or the goalposts keep moving in each generation of processors.

The funky thing is... it's not a recession for them. All of their incomes are growing and their profits are reasonably steady, except for "I take full responsibility for the Metaverse" Meta.

They don't really need to do this, they want to.
> due to some issue I don't understand

This may sound flippant, but... go understand that issue. If that is the major pain point, you need to understand not only what the technical problems are, but what are the business drivers for it to exist. In the course of gaining that understanding, you very well might find a quick and easy solution that doesn't require a major architecture project.
>They’re playing catch-up, it’s boring.

yeah, doing pretty bad at that. I just tried out Bard by asking it a question on an almost 10 year old .net library for interacting with a popular CRM platform's API. It came back with:

"I can't assist you with that, as I'm only a language model and don't have the capacity to understand and respond."

Went over to ChatGPT and asked it the same question in the prompt word for word. It came back with a concise explanation on how to use the library. Specifically one specific set of API calls. Bard is a joke.
I just don't understand who wants these foldable phones, especially at the $1799 price point. I guess a use case is wealthy frequent travelers who don't want a separate device with a larger screen to watch movies/videos on the go? Someone help me out here.
Blubi, the Dropbox for your social media content
Content creators shouldn't be at the mercy of social platforms and should have control over their content.

That's why I'm launching Blubi, a social content backup platform powered by AI.

Blubi is like Dropbox but for your social content. It is also your content DJ where you can remix your tweets into long form, short form, YT/TikTok scripts, or a tweetstorm!

Would love to hear any feedback.
I'd argue bookmarks achieve much of the same result, but I see your point.

Cross-platform, as much as I'd like it to work, just doesn't seem to ever feel native. I'd very much like to see a transpilation-based cross-platform development framework that generates real Swift/Kotlin/Javascript for iOS/Android/Web, but I'm not sure if it's possible with all of the nice developer experience goodies that developers would come to expect (namely hot reloading) -- but maybe!
“TilBrooklyn” would be less confusing.
$1800??? I'll pass... or spend that on a laptop or high-end iPad.
From 1899 euros in Europe. Certainly, I don't really know who feels comfortable using a 2K euros device while walking down the street every single day. I would be so worried about it being lost, getting scratch or what not. Besides, it looks huge.
And the IT industry thought job hopping was bad enough.

Wait until the market leans towards talent again. Everyone will be accepting the highest bids.

They may have erased a 5% raise this year, but lose it (and more) in new hires in a year or two.
I can definitely see this being useful for work and school, but not sure if I would use a foldable for everyday tasks.

Casing these phones seems like a challenge
The most comedic mistake is to have a running jenking in 2023

Retail square footage is not cheap wherever you go. Even rust belt is getting a few bucks a sq foot and average is more like 15-20. So a couple thousand square foot theater is around $10k a month and probably more like 20-40k.

I don't know, maybe theaters get a super good deal as anchor tenants. But doesn't seem to add up that $1,000 a month on a projector rental is a driver of price increases.
Why linux? Why not *BSD?
GPT-4 report has MMLU score, which is believed to one of the most important metric for question answering task. GPT-4 MMLU score is slightly higher than PaLM 2(86 vs 81). Google didn't compare it in with PaLM 2 in this paper.
Look at their revenues in 2019 and in 2023.

Except for Failed Metaverse Inc, everyone else has grown revenue proportionally and profits decent enough.
I love my Z Fold 3 form factor a lot more than I thought I would. The one thing I've missed is the pure Google/Android software experience without the Samsung bloat from my old Pixel phone.

This is very tempting, but given it's their first attempt and the steep price, I'll probably wait for the Fold 2 to improve on any growing pains.
> It's a crap argument. We have evidence that certain states -- China, Russia, Israel, Vietnamn, etc. -- employs state-sponsored troll groups.

Whether they do it is orthogonal to the particular point in this subthread: "I am under the impression that western governments don't do this."

> We have evidence that certain states -- China, Russia, Israel, Vietnamn, etc. -- employs state-sponsored troll groups.

We seem to have knowledge that it occurs more than zero. What we do not have is evidence for most of the specific claims in the media, which tend to provide either zero evidence, or link to the "wild card" single case where Russia "was" caught engaging in it.

> We don't have evidence that most countries use such strategies.

In my experience Bing chat and phind are useless. But perplexity.ai and GPT4 are amazing. GPT-3.5 and Cloude-instant (available through poe.com) are cool as well, even though they got significantly dumbed down recently, presumably to lower the maintenance costs.

Chatbot Arena Leaderboard: OpenAI GPT-4 and Anthropic Claude Take the Lead
> My own view is that consciousness is intimately tied to our nature as living flesh-and-blood creatures. In this picture, being conscious is not the result of some complicated algorithm running on the wetware of the brain. It is an embodied phenomenon, rooted in the fundamental biological drive within living organisms to keep on living. If I’m right, the prospect of conscious AI remains reassuringly remote.

How is this not just dualism by some other name?

How could anyone think the brain isn't the cause of consciousness?

> Certainly, nobody should be actively trying to create machine consciousness.

I think machines will be our superior descendants. Why isn't that a good reason to create conscious machines?

> Time is short to develop a rational and fit-for-purpose framework to ensure that the enormous potential of AI is used for the benefit of humanity and the planet.

No. Explode into new parts of phase space and press go. A la, eukaryogenesis, multicellularity, social awareness, fire, cities, etc. What happens happens.

"But but but we peaked at tiktaalik" isn't really persuasive argumentation to me.
A business duty to comply with the law is not a rhetorical appeal to authority, it is a fact.

Ask the accountant who wrote the check to the CNIL for the most recent cookie fine what they think.
That's all stuff that LLMs are really, really good at handling though. All you need is prompts that explain what's on the menu, all the ingredients, allergy info, calorie counts, etc. and it will be able to handle it. And I'm sure they'll be recording questions for which the LLM has no good answer, to improve it.

Note that people adjust their behavior as well. As people interact with these more, they'll sometimes be frustrated but they'll adjust.

Now, after all that, please don't paint me as a techno-optimist. I think that it's very likely that we're about to cause some massive social problems by making it so that the average human doesn't have many options where they can provide more economic value than a machine, and meanwhile, are there really that many problems today that tech can solve, as opposed to problems of simply coordinating people?

And that's not getting into the whole "are AGIs going to make humanity extinct" question, which, after getting into it, I think is pretty darned likely at the rate we're going.
They kind of do. If Facebook and Google suppress their wages and some other company poaches their best people the buying cartel could easily fall apart.

OPEC suffered from exactly this problem quite early on. It only takes a few defectors of sufficient size.
I'm not a huge fan of Google, but if Graphene can be installed (and the bootloader unlocked), I would be interested!

> but it isn't sustainable long term

Why would they care?

Long gone are the times where the majority of workers stayed at a company for a lifetime, so getting the most out of them for the few years that they will anyway stay is worth it in the eyes of their manager.

Really looking forward to future generations of foldables when the price is closer to $1000 than $2000. I've had my Flip 3 for almost 2 years now and it's been a blast; I'm genuinely interested in the larger foldable size, but the price is still too steep for me.
If you have the money, and you're going to use the tools regularly, it's often worth the 'buy once, cry once' premium.

One of my cats passed away last year, and before I realized he was having kidney problems he'd taken to dusting a closet in a spare room. I tried and tried with my old carpet cleaner (10y+ old upright thing) and just could not make progress even with nature's miracle enzymatic shampoo/etc. I recently got a puppy and decided to just bite the bullet and buy a commercial Big Green and it's been amazing. The day I got it, I did a rush job cleaning it for maybe a half hour between a couple meetings, and I got a ton of glitter and other stuff out of the carpet that'd survived through at least 2 meticulous passes with the old carpet cleaner. It'd been a girl's room before I got the house, I think, I found other stuff that fell into the vent in there. And after a pass or two with the new cleaner, I got a couple of those older stank spots out, no problem. Just an obviously better job cleaning.

Anyway point being... the "buy the harbor freight one and then replace it if you use it enough to break it" is fine as far as it goes, but yeah, I'm increasingly this way too, I like having professional stuff that makes the job easier instead of adding additional problems. Some stuff the cheap version just is not good at all, or works OK for a little bit and then craps out.

I have had the same problem with vacuum sealers. After a while the vac-u-saver systems just don't pull a good vacuum or don't make good seals. Eventually I start getting bags that let loose in the freezer/etc and get air into the bag. I've cleaned the heat bar carefully, replaced seals, etc, and the consumer vac-u-saver systems just don't work all that well after 6 months or so of usage. Kinda bizarre and I know it seems to work fine for other people (although perhaps they are more accepting of bags letting go in the freezer/etc) but I can't figure it out. It's unfortunately a lot of counter space but I'm thinking seriously about getting a chamber vacuum sealer for the same reason. Maybe if I upgrade my oven to a convection oven and then get rid of the air fryer I'll use the recovered counter space for that.

It's hard to put a price on frustration and wasted time. Living alone/with ADHD I "don't have many spoons", and when I'm ready to do a project I wanna get it done, not fight crappy tools.
To be fair, I think ”one person responded positively and offered to help” is also quintessential HN.
Are you really implying that because you grew up with a Nintendo console that you had problems socially? It sounds like a parenting failure.

If you believe your social interactions should have come from strangers via video games then that's abnormal.

Counterpoint: because my mother met her husband online in a chatroom, I spent most of my childhood talking to strangers. I was groomed online multiple times online. I was also sexually abused at three schools by teachers. A bunch of people me and my friends met off the internet were not who they purported to be whatsoever.

I'm still getting therapy in adulthood. I know what I'd have rather had happen.

It was a parenting failure for me too after the divorce of my parents.
I suspect that the KiCAD userbase is still considered "small potatoes" and not worthy of this kind of development effort.

Which is a shame if true. KiCAD is a gem of open source and holds a lot of mindshare with nerds and hackers.

> tbh, this seems pretty far out there. Sourcemap file size is a non-issue, they're not gigabytes

Sure, by themselves, but replicate that across everyone repeatedly downloading the library in various build processess, in various projects and with different versions.

Sure, by itself a sourcemap might not add up to much. But then there is various projects with different versions, who download the library repeatedly in different build steps. Then it starts to add up both in bandwidth, and in storage taken.

Luckily, there are still package and library maintainers who care about making things less, instead of more, both in architectures and size.

> Just so that people can modify the source code directly a little bit easier?

This is a real thing that is useful to think about, how to make your software easier to change in the future, while just solving the current concern without over-engineering the solution.
