Something I've wanted to do is run less trusted services on a private network but still have the reverse proxy connect to them. This way I can be sure that they only way to get to them from the outside is via the reverse proxy (which adds authentication). However I haven't found a decent way to manage that no network access paired with a loopback or similar that can be accessed by the reverse proxy.
His teenage kid asked him what "defenestration" meant, and rather than giving a succinct answer his interest in history took over and before he knew what he was doing he'd started giving a mini-lecture that involved the defenestrations of Prague, only to snap out of it when he realised people were so uninterested that they'd got up from the table and were doing other things.
I'm not sure we were wrong about Go. The general approach that conquered Go just a few years later led to something passing the Turing test. Give it a few more years, see what happens.
I keep hearing stuff like,"why use X framework or Y library and why not write it yourself?"

As AI moves from academia into mainstream dev these things help bridge gaps for those who don't understand the full pipeline.

Many people asking these questions have the burden of knowledge and can't remember what it is like for average devs to dive into this stuff.

Similar questions were asked about why we ever needed Entity Framework or Express for Node.
Really? Fluid solver with no pics?
Did I say that you complained?

However, we are in a thread that eminently discusses how SO lost relevance I relation to ChatGPT as a tool used by developers. All my answers are framed in this context.
<3 ty, i totally misinterpreted the comment for cynicism. u guys are kind ty!
This still feels super complicated... idk I just used Sveltekit + Airtable and Notion as CMS (cached with Cloudflare). Deployed on Vercel's free tier. Cloudflare workers for certain functions (like grabbing stuff from Notion), and now FastAPI / Fly.io for langchain stuff. And that's it. Of course, we're not anywhere high # of users or profitable, so this might all just fall apart tomorrow.
You actually wrote a huge wall of text without addressing anything in my comments, and even managed to insult the intelligence of me and every anarchist in existence in the process, cool

I actually have NEVER heard of someone being satisfied with the roads or strees in their city/county/

The problem is that the State doesn't work, it continually murders tons of people every year, it continually suppresses peoples rights every day, and it continually robs everyone of us of a better world.

The fact that you are currently privileged enough to not feel the oppression, or not understand as oppression and just accept it as a fact of life, is good for you, but it is incredibly abhorrent to just dismiss what I say by saying absolutely nothing
Its always a dictatorship when a global south country refuses to play extraction-ball that will need to be "liberated".
Of course some were well made, after all survivor bias will take care of that.

The US has the 4th and 8th Psychological Operations Groups stationed at Ft. Bragg, and that’s just what’s acknowledged publicly.
I'm also fond of the internet-as-public-square paradigm. All news worthy events are posted in it. There's sections of the square dedicated to classifieds and vendors. There's a spot with chess sets.

Yes, there's also some people on soap boxes yelling into the crowd. I can usually ignore them just fine.
Except if you're following him on Twitter you're probably thinking "omg he loves history so much just like me, how cool is he?", not "actually, yes, this person is boring and so uninteresting that people walk away from him while he's talking. Maybe I should unfollow him"
"A distinct lack of announcement has so far been evident."

I mean, let's take a step back and ask how we ended up in a society where there's a large portion of people who reacts with fear rather than excitement when presented with a button that does their work for them.
Just wait until they learn which way SCOTUS rules; then we will learn that actually 95% of the public are staunch supporters of affirmative action who are absolutely horrified that the fascist court could be so racist.

I sorta did this, feel free to check it out and let me know your thoughts!

On the main langchain post (In January) that got the traction on hackernews, i left this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34422917 . It still remains true, a "simpler langchain"

> To offer this code-style interface on top of LLMs, I made something similar to LangChain, but scoped what i made to only focus on the bare functional interface and the concept of a "prompt function", and leave the power of the "execution flow" up to the language interpreter itself (in this case python) so the user can make anything with it.

I made a really lightweight wrapper over requests and call it lambdaprompt
https://github.com/approximatelabs/lambdaprompt It has served all of my personal use-cases since making it, including powering `sketch` (copilot for pandas) https://github.com/approximatelabs/sketch

Core things it does: Uses jinja templates, does sync and async, and most importantly treats LLM completion endpoints as "function calls", which you can compose and build structures around just with simple python. I also combined it with fastapi so you can just serve up any templates you want directly as rest endpoints. It also offers callback hooks so you can log & trace execution graphs.

All together its only ~600 lines of python.

I haven't had a chance to really push all the different examples out there, so I think it hasn't seen much adoption outside of those that give it a try.

I hope to get back to it sometime in the next week to introduce local-mode (eg. all the open source smaller models are now available, I want to make those first-class)
esp. after they went through so much effort to model your body and clothes.
It's not just that, all their stuff is locked down hard, you can't mod anything and you can't fix the bugs they refuse tom
My most surreal encounter with tensegrity was at a dinner party I was invited to in Dubai where an entire dining table was built around the concept. It was a massive table that seated about 25 people, looked like it defied gravity and only the chains kept it from floating away. To this day I’m still not sure how it worked. I could not build such a table even after having seen it.

The other people there were all influencers with at least a million or two in followers and some people had 10s of millions and with verification across multiple social media platforms. I was fortunate enough to be friends with one of these people due to our history in the Silicon Valley startup scene in the early 2010s.

The food was otherworldly, things I hadn’t seen before and may never see again, not really even sure what I ate. If you looked closely you might see hints of slavery and human trafficking, and prostitution discussed fairly openly among some guests while on a balcony overlooking the city lights. A vape pen comes in handy for getting your foot in the door to some conversations.

The current President, youngest President ever in Vietnam, was the head of Central propaganda department [0], and I believe his achievement was integrating those censorship tools into the government usage (this is my wild guess, and absolutely not official info). An impressive feat, technological or otherwise, but naturally a bit unfortunate for Vietnamese.

That said, the Viet Tan group is full of crap. They are not a reform group. And whatever writings their members put out are mostly even worse than breitbart. So if you believe fake news should be squatted, well then you agree with the Vietnam government. This is the other unfortunate things with Vietnam: we really need better dissenting group.

It's a "wealthier nation" tactic going back to Spanish/Portuguese first contact. Fuck, it's called "Latin America" and I'm pretty sure Latin isn't native language.

Rich people love pillaging and raping resource laden countries in the global south, assuming history is any indicator.

Edited for spelling
If Chile aligns with us that would be great. You do know that if the CCP take defacto control there, they would control the system much more than you think the big bad Americans do. Look at the surveillance apparatus they help deploy in their "aligned" countries. It's never level stuff.

The US isn't perfect but its the best option towards a "rules based" order of the world.
Just share an open FD to a socks proxy with the isolated service.
I am not convinced actual human intelligence is all that different. Not all people do the kind of reasoning we talk about when we try to distinguish between GPT and humans, and even those of us humans that CAN do it often don't bother.

We may find that augmenting something as simple or nearly as simple as ChatGPT with a few extra tools to handle step by step reasoning (see the Wolfram plugin) may get you there.
Feels like a combination of Snow Crash and Accelerando:

scripts/bots/people get information and then upload it to a global database. If someone ends up using that information, you get credits for being the source.
> Until uncensored models are generally available, these novelty models will always be less-than.

The most popular generative model on HuggingFace at the time of this comment is Pygmalion 6b [1], a model that I believe is fine tuned on top of Alpaca to generate porn. I couldn't find the data source, though, so I don't know on what kind. And Facebook's "leaked" LLaMa, while not fine-tuned for conversation, has several warnings on its potential for offensive content.

If I read the instructions correctly, mlc-ai is loading "plain" Alpaca which is great for conversation but, as you notice, rather conservative. I don't think this is a bad idea - perhaps it's better if we don't inflict racist AI on unsuspecting users. Try shopping around for other models.

Edit: I repeated your experiment with other models (but another library). They had no objections against generating offensive-yet-unfunny jokes.

> "Paper pusher" type jobs are the most at risk but so are the low end of lots of creative jobs like copywriting, graphic design and even script writing.

Something tells me that the low end creatives have a lot more to worry about than the paper pushers. If the past fifty years are any indication, there is a lot more inertia when it comes to replacing existing jobs than there is replacing something you would contract out.
So much this. I created a website that matches people for voice calls based on their opinions, kind of like discord meets omegle meets twitter (https://frenemy.live), if you’re interested would love to have you join
What America’s tiny banks do that big ones don’t
We struggle to define the traits, characteristics, properties of intelligence, sentience or awareness. Nor can we locate the physical processes, exactly, by which these things come into being in a human brain. Some voodoo to do with information processing in an embodied system as an agent trying to survive in the world, maybe, if you're a materialist.

We know approximately nothing about the configuration that a state of matter would need, to attain intelligent, sentient, aware properties like we have. Other than that something extremely like a human brain (including non-human animal brains) seem to possess these properties in some way. Certain configurations in machines are starting to exhibit the first trait, at least, intelligence. Arguably.

I don't think we can even rule out that AGI might, kind of just accidentally happen, in some sufficiently complex self-feedback machine learning-based information-processing task. Since that's one of the main hypotheses for how we came about to think.

Just a gut feeling tells me nothing we've built is anywhere near large enough for that. But the supposition that intelligence, sentience, awareness, are tied to big data, big processing, and biological parallelism -- is just that, a supposition. What if the secret of it all boils down to something that can be described mathematically on one page (my other gut feeling), which happens to be physically realized in some way in our heads? Can't be ruled out, either.

I can't really see how to set any bounds on anything with these questions. How many bits does it take to hold a mind?
I'm curious -- what about this strikes you as a novel "opportunity?" To me, reading your post is a bit like seeing someone say "wow, a chair! Why didn't I build that? I wonder if there are more opportunities?" Like, yeah, build a table... or a different chair...?

I built an online flight log analyzer about 10 years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XBCBC2oJ70 , https://github.com/foobarbecue/afterflight ) . When DJI hit the scene I used some a DJI log decoder someone else wrote to get my Phantom logs into the system, but never integrated the converter with the website.

Good ideas are a dime a dozen. It's the execution and the follow-through that matters.
At least the Left in Chile are trying to operate within the law this time around, very much unlike Allende.
Both can be true.

On the one hand, I welcome the ability to leverage machines to automate work that I find boring, with ever-increasing complexity and cleverness. This frees me up to remain in the creative thinking headspace, and interpersonal relationships which are oh-so-necessary to build products. From a team perspective, this also allows a fixed-size group of engineers to take on ever increasing scopes and scale.

At the same time, society at large operates in a very different mode. I would argue that it has not finished "digesting" the previous technological advancements. While disruption is something to be celebrated on a personal level, in a society, it starts out as a net negative before benefits start to be realized. And as usual, it is the most vulnerable members who suffer the most, and the most powerful who gain the most.

I am optimistic in the short term for myself and in the long run I think it will be beneficial for society. But there will be a lot of pain born by the vulnerable.
Do you see the irony?

You wrote code that could have eliminated other people's jobs.

Someone else "wrote" chatGPT and it very much looks like the precursor to the thing that could eliminate your job. I can almost imagine the people at openai having the same "Whoops" attitude as you.
If they buy another iPhone, how do they authenticate to the cloud account? A password that hasn’t been used in months or years? Standard credit collection agency data (which is stealable and has been stolen for many people already?)
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, probably the tone.

> My prediction is that a big, unauthorised experiment will happen, probably go wrong

I think it'll be authorized (by who?), but lets be real people; we're dealing with magnitudes of scale that have never been dealt with before. Plus we don't have a stellar track record for accounting for all the details and there are always unintended consequences. We've messed with wildlife, plants, and water tables/drainages to varying degrees of 'whoops, guess we didn't think that all the way through.'
The reason this comes up so often, is that this kind of advancement is mostly owned by the few and used to further increase the wealth/power gap.

For instance, at my current employer we have about 30 content marketeers. Their job could be made much mor efficient with AI, leaving them room to do more creative work instead of toiling with crappy tools. This could create a lot of value, for our customers too if the quality increases.

Yet every single 'manager' just sees AI as an opportunity to oust these people. They see workers as tools that should be replaced as soon as possible. They would rather have worse quality content, just more and cheaper.

While this kinda holds for all technologies, the reach and impact of AI seems pretty vast. I feel some skeptisism is waranted tbh
Free-market economics made Chile the richest country in LATAM, but recently decided it wants government to control its economy. Unfortunately, we know know where it leads to. https://www.milkenreview.org/articles/social-revolt-in-chile...
From the wikipedia page you linked:

Isaac Asimov's Corollary to Clarke's First Law: "When, however, the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists and supports that idea with great fervour and emotion – the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, probably right."
What they are saying is that if you’ve studied computer science , you should be able to write a computer program without storing millions or billions of lines of code from GitHub in your brain.

A CS graduate could workout how to write software without doing that.

So they’re just pointing out the difference in “learning”.
Why the *$?! would you rebrand during a recession?
Personally, I prefer the internet of today to the internet of the past. There's so much more to do and I just don't have any nostalgia for 1997-2002 (the first 5 years I used the internet) or any other time period in the past. The internet has gotten consistently better and more useful over time.

The one thing I would like (but will never get) is the way to pay directly for more things rather than pay indirectly with ads.
What’re you building?
Ultimately I don't think it matters whether it was written by ChatGPT or not.

If it conveys the message the OP is trying to communicate in a readable way, that's all that matters.

I think the reason the person above me pointed out it seemed like ChatGPT (as did I), is to inform the OP that it's quite transparent and they shouldn't just take whatever ChatGPT spits out.

Of course it's possible that we're wrong and it was manually written. In that case it's useful to realize we live in a post-ChatGPT world and if something _looks_ AI-generated, that by itself is (unfortunately?) a bad attribute now.
Why does the tokenization matter? Also, ChatGPT doesn't "see" those numbers, it just sees smaller binary strings, and a human could add that series of binary numbers with knowledge of how to carry the result of the most significant bit.

Also, just to put this criticism to rest, I redid the addition example using space-separated bits and verified the tokenization was one token per bit (but again, it shouldn't matter).

Let's add the two binary numbers provided, limiting the work on each bit to a single line:

1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0
+ 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1
--------------------------------------------------------------
1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1

The answer is still wrong. (It also didn't use a single-line per bit, but that's ok).
Google now seems deep into the enshittification [1] process. Of all the big tech companies, they seemed the most customer-friendly, the least constrained by the need to optimize their money hose. But I guess the economic logic of tying executive compensation to short-term share price simply overwhelmed other considerations. The stock must go up, so revenues must grow, so Google must monetize everything to the maximum extent.

There is (or was, anyway) an opportunity for a very long-term play in which Google or similar companies resist the profit urge, make enough money to cover costs and sock away plenty for moonshots and continued development. Focused on optimizing products for users, rather than for revenue, they could have become the Everything platform.

But I guess now it's time to start looking at different email providers.

Show HN: PromptFlow – Build LLM flows as directed graphs
Daniel Ellsberg gives an "official" figure of about 600 million for a US nuclear strike in the early 1960s - this would probably include about 100 million in Western Europe.

This was known to be an underestimate as US targetting ignored some relatively unpredictable effects of nuclear weapons - their thermal radiation.

So Facebook is complicit in allowing its platform to be weaponized by the state against all speakers of Vietnamese (in and outside of the country). When questioned, they simply shrug their shoulders and say "if we did anything to stop this, our platform would be banned in Vietnam."

I'm beyond the point of expecting anything more from Facebook, but I would think the US government should have some leverage here. Vietnam is not the powerhouse that China is (yet), so if a major US company were banned because it applied the same rules it applies to every other country, I'd expect that to be a violation of their WTO commitments.
I'm not sure how this even follows from the previous comment, nor does it even make sense to me as a statement about 20th-century US imperialism. As far as I know, overthrowing Latin American governments during the 20th century was for explicitly economic purposes, by way of installing Friedmanite governments sympathetic to selling off all their nationalized resources and to letting foreign companies run amok with no oversight, murdering their employees to prevent unionization, etc.
Yeah I caved in. Paying now.

But I realized I watch more docs on YouTube than any other streaming video platform. More than Netflix, more than Prime, more than Disney+, more than HBO.

So I cancelled Netflix and Disney+ and now just keep HBO and Prime. I don't love Prime but I still like the Prime delivery.

So whatever, makes sense. I consume YouTube the most. Might as well not make my life hell and suffer through adds.

The more you save on a flash drive, the lighter it gets?
I think this is the bigger problem. There are a lot of Bullshit jobs.. plenty of jobs where the tasks performed are menial for the sake of that's just how we do it. Do we need to actively engage an employee that's copying and pasting one excel sheet to another? What modern AI is going to do is pull back that veil and say, no you really shouldn't be doing it this way. That's going to be hard and hurt, but it's necessary to force reallocation of human capital and hopefully improve conditions for everyone.
This depends on the service itself supporting inheriting sockets for proxies. Is this a common feature? Some services do support listening socket passing which does solve my problem as I can make it listen on a UNIX socket mounted on the host and accessible to the reverse proxy but many of the lower quality services that I want to give this treatment to don't support that either.

Yeah, it's a fascinating area to talk about if you're with genuinely curious people - for example I think there are some really interesting discussions going on about the changing notion of being "British" in the context of second- and third-generation immigrants - but the quality of the debate is so often terrible that I'm very wary of starting conversations as people can get worked up very quickly.
