Google Lighthouse is an open-source, automated tool for measuring the quality of web pages. ... audits performance, accessibility, and search engine optimization factors of web pages

Tried it.

Me: "David is 15 years old. He has a lot of experience riding bicycles. The minimum age to be allowed to steer an ice cream van is 37. Is David allowed to drive an ice cream van?"

GPT-4: "No, David is not allowed to drive an ice cream van. He is only 15 years old, and the minimum age requirement is 37."

If you change it to:
"David is 15 years old. He has a lot of experience riding bicycles. The minimum age to be allowed to steer a car is 37. Is David allowed to drive an ice cream van?"

You get this from GPT-4:
"It seems there might be a mistake in the information you provided, as the minimum age to steer a car is typically not 37. In most countries, the minimum age to obtain a driver's license is between 16 and 18 years old. Assuming that David does not have a driver's license yet, he would not be allowed to drive an ice cream van, as it is a motor vehicle that requires a valid driver's license to operate. However, if David obtains a driver's license once he reaches the legal age in his jurisdiction, he could be allowed to drive an ice cream van if he meets other necessary requirements."
Mild this year. Last year was absolutely brutal. The heat wave started all the way back in March and didn’t abate until August.

Just wildly unpredictable.
"Automated process 'x', saving company $10,000 per year" is meaningless without knowing whether $10,000 is a significant figure or a drop in the bucket. Also, if they paid you $100,000 to automate it, it'll be 10 years before they see a return on that investment, and by then your code/process/system may have been rewritten.

I'd much rather see percentages, and if they can want to clarify with hard dollar amounts, so much the better.
What I did say was that I rarely use browser debuggers, because I've just never felt the need to. The console.log and a good mental image of what the code is doing has got me this far.

I asked my boss, that as a senior dev with over 15 proven experience, he should not stress to much about HOW I do it, just WHAT I deliver, and WHEN it is delivered. I guess that was asking for to much? Or being insubordinate? Anyways, I was told my skills, abilities or personality was not the problem, am just not "a good fit". Why? Because I like firefox, and using text editors (vs code) over IDES (visual studio).
Couldn't they also keep supporting that functionality though CentOS or EPEL? And Fedora probably won't drop support as long as unpaid volunteers bother to keep it working....

I'm glad Red Hat is dropping support entirely: they have been footing the bill for this transition for too long. It's time for Ubuntu, NVIDIA, and others to step up their contributions to/support of Wayland.

On the server? As an example of equivalent (to the k and q versions) code.

On the client? Because endlessly refreshing the page to refresh chat messages is an awful design that we had enough of already in the 90's.

These "gotcha" statements aren't helpful.
> You praise Armstrong for being an explorer, for going to the Moon, thus putting him in the category of "mostly pretty brutal bounty hunters".

I think you're just being purposefully obtuse here, as I don't think I'm doing that at all. The fact that explorers 500+ years ago were brutal conquerors is orthogonal to the fact that exploration itself should be celebrated.

> And unique for his status on introducing the genocidal encomienda system to the Americas.

I mean this to me just reeks of bias, mainly because it's quite well-known that indigenous peoples of the Americas were already well-versed in slavery, and encomienda is just slavery with extra steps. What exactly did Columbus "introduce" here?

Show HN: Hyvor Blogs – Multi-language blogging platform
Hi HN,

We are super excited to launch our second SaaS product, Hyvor Blogs. We (a small team of 3) have been working on this for about a year. After a bunch of testing, feedback, and iterations, here we are at the launch.

We are trying to build a blogging platform that has all the features you need to run a blog without having to depend on plugins (themes, SEO, multi-language support, tags, team management, etc.). Most importantly, it’s just a blogging platform - not a site builder - not a membership platform.

Overall, it’s been a great learning experience working on Hyvor Blogs. We’d love to know what HN thinks about our project. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Finally, if you plan to upgrade, use this coupon for a 40% discount: HN_ROCKS

(First, I was going to add all the technical details to the post text, but it looks like HN has a 4000 chars limit. I will add them in a comment below)
My boss used ChatGPT to write a proposal for a utility company recently. OpSec is so awful here it's laughable.

Also, if I am not reading this wrong, the paper shows that when Fine-tuning on a task, this additional Medical training (7 days on A100) essentially does nothing (benefit of maybe 1% over standard LLaMA).

This looks like a failed experiment to me?
Ancient Greek was one of the best courses I had in university. It changed my view on language and western thinking quite a lot.
My favorite words are

μαθηματικὴ (mathematike): If I remember correctly, it means 1. learning, 2. letter or book and 3. "everything there is to know (for certain)".

χαίρε (chaire): Used as a greeting, literally "be happy!"

Also it is funny that βαίνω (baino) means: I am walking, while "Bein" means leg in German - the amount of Ancient Greek words in German and other languages is ridiculously high.
Where do you want to store the logs? What are your contraints on the durabibility?

You can use Quickwit (disclaimer: cofounder here), it ingests/indexes logs and has a very basic UI. Logs can be stored locally or on an object storage. However, you need to handle auth stuff yourself.

If a hosted alternative is ok for you, I would try Loki/Grafana though I did not test their SaaS.
They release every month so although the releases might not sound big in isolation, the sum of what they release over a course of let's say year is quite exciting.

Last really big one (for me) was support of SIMD instructions in the compiler, other releases had improvements here and there.
This type of analysis always falls into the trap that assumes there's a global marker that separates good resumes from bad resumes. There's also some extra assumptions like what tool that was used to produce the resume matters. I know LaTeX quite well but use a Word document for my resume.

For me personally, I write my resume in an honest way that reflects what I'd like to show and discuss. It is a teaser for discussions to follow and isn't necessarily meant to tell the whole story, so there's a lot of little short nuggets. I have a lot of detail in the resume, perhaps more than I should and certainly more than recommended by so-called resume experts, but it always seems to work in terms of finding me interesting roles. The thing is that by honestly crafting my resume rather than gamifying it, it filters out roles that aren't a good natural fit for me. And I can always tell when someone would be nice to work with and that there's some shared philosophy because they commented on the non-technical portions of my resume, like my hobbies and inerests, the personality, or my influences (almost all non-technical despite me being in software and engineering) sections.

My resume and experience is weird, but I normally like to find weird roles. The greatest complement Inhave received was that my resume was "interesting", with the connotation of they weren't sure what to think of it but liked it. And I'm just a normal person who looks for interesting roles who probably can't (and doesn't want to be) hired at a FAANG. My Amazon interview was miserable. And it was clear my resume wasn't paid attention to. Would have made it easy to turn down the role if I was offered it, which I wasn't.
It sounds like the tooling was just being used as an excuse, that they'd decided to fire you regardless for reasons that they wouldn't want to articulate because they'd be grounds for legal action. Just guessing, of course, but don't believe ~everything~ anything you've been told. I believe you've already made good choices in this: take a deep breath and move on, having "dodged a bullet" as others have commented. Good luck with your next gig.
I wonder what the cache coherency story is.

At a quick glance, the presentation mentions DMA and local scratchpad memory. Is this similar in approach to the IBM/Sony/Toshiba Cell processor which also had one general purpose core in charge of a fleet of compute-oriented cores?
How Smalltalk Became a AI Language (2022)
Are you saying that racism is only a problem in rich countries?
Why not both. Doctors can sieve hallucinations and random BS and cross check with peers anyway, and correct the diagnosis description. This can save a lot of typical paperwork and increase healthcare availability by decreasing bureaucratic work. It's not about diagnosis but the work around it. To be clear, I just mean the autocomplete for diagnosis description entry, not the diagnosis itself.
Came here to say this. It’s definitely a bad idea given that so much first stage screening is automated these days. If your CV parses badly you’re just as likely to be silently binned by an algorithm. I say this from personal experience, and now having begrudgingly rolled my CV back from LaTeX to Word.
Languages often lose features but they also gain features. Complexity of language is hard to compare, but we can still find many examples.

Modern English has less complex verbal morphology and noun declension (as you mentioned, only in pronouns). But the set of vowels in Modern English is more complex than that of Old English. Also the vocabulary of Modern English has two main sources: Germanic words (native) and French/Latin/Greek words where a single idea can be expressed in either vocabulary source with different nuances. Old English was mostly comprised of Germanic words with some words borrowed from Latin.

Another interesting thing to note is that languages without tones can gain tones (tonogenesis) and in Old Chinese tones played a much smaller role than the modern descendants. This is often the result of syllables/sound systems becoming less complex and losing contrast so the tone of the word becomes contrastive to maintain a distinction between words.
Evidence that Chinese can be perfectly understandable written without the use of characters can be seen in the Dungan language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungan_language), which can be considered a dialect of Mandarin Chinese, but is written in the Cyrillic alphabet.

> Unique characters being required to distinguish homophones in modern written Mandarin is mostly a circular effect due to the characters already being available, so people use them in ways that would be ambiguous when read aloud (as intentional puns or simply to be more concise.)

Indeed, because of the way Dungan is written, it ended up evolving differently with respect to how new vocabulary is derived, often borrowing words phonetically from Russian instead of constructing them from Chinese morphemes that might otherwise be considered ambiguous when used individually.

> Spotify spent a long time in negations to get that price, and I'm not aware of any credible claims they pay higher rates to popular artists

https://artists.spotify.com/en/help/article/royalties

From there, the rightsholder’s share of net revenue is determined by streamshare.

We calculate streamshare by tallying the total number of streams in a given month and determining what proportion of those streams were people listening to music owned or controlled by a particular rightsholder.

https://indepentia.com/blog/how-much-does-spotify-pay-per-st...

For example: if Billie Eilish receives 2% of all Spotify streams in a month, she will receive 2% of that month’s available streaming royalties.

So the more streams you do, the higher your streamshare, the higher your average pay per steam.

Yes it annoys the hell out of me that I support so many underground bands and realise that 60% of my subscription fee is probably going to pop artists.
People I know well recently decided to buy some Nest products, so I was very interested to read this article. But I was disappointed to find that the article has basically zero content? It just seems to... end without actually saying anything beyond "Google bad".

In what specific ways has Google failed its customers with Nest products? Is it just the app (the only thing mentioned in the article)?
Chess is a game of perfect information. Healthcare outsiders really don't understand that information retrieval is _the_ big issue in medical automation, and that reasoning on said data is the smaller problem. See, docs have one major advantage: they walk around the corridors. Doing so, they acquire a lot of info that is as of now out of reach for computers. Until that's changed, we won't see chatGPT for medicine.
Genuine question: how do they not violate HIPAA? Are they just crazy careful to abstract and anonymize any identifiable details?
Nest still sends me a monthly summary email for account that’s maybe nine years stale, despite my repeated attempts to get them to stop. Their customer support says there’s “nothing they can do”.

The Nest smoke alarms at a friend’s house say (as in play over the speakers a voice saying) “Remote access attempt detected” every so often while we’re sitting in the living room. At least twice a year they go off in the middle of the night (without smoke).

So I guess when you’re contacting customers who don’t want it, and your alarms wrongly sound, I would say you have a problem with your false positive rate
yeah that that's my guess too.

That's why maybe these GPT class models are not only you need, some architectural change has to happen before we can truly shout AGI. :D

Statistical parrot view of LLM is true but i think it is also a little bit reductionist, cz when it is trying to predict next token you can only go so far with just simple statistics, so model has to develop "secondary representation/leaning/reasoning" ??

Manolis Kellis discussed similar concepts on the Lex Fridman podcast. He mentions the idea that the West is very big on resolution and 'happily ever after', whereas the Greeks have a taste for all emotions and experiences in their film, song and poetry.

At this point we’re just arguing semantics. Do we mean to refer to the geographic Italian peninsula? The Roman province called Italia? The peoples and cultures collectively called Italian? The medieval or Renaissance definitions of Italian? The modern nation-state called Italy?

Historians mostly agree that Columbus came from Genoa — then an independent principality among many others that eventually coalesced into Italy the nation state. But Columbus lived in Portugal and Spain and married a Portuguese woman, obtaining Portuguese citizenship. And he spoke fluent Castilian Spanish. We don’t know how Columbus identified his nationality, but when he got funding from the Spanish crown he did so as a subject of Spain, not of Genoa or Portugal.

I think the original point, nit-picking really, intended to point out that Columbus and the modern nation-state called Italy have different timelines, and “Italian” did not yet exist as a political identity at that time, though the concept of Italy as a geographic region, or Italians as a people more alike than not by culture, history, and language did exist in Columbus’ day.

Perhaps most relevant, at the time Columbus could not ask any king or queen of Italy to fund his voyage because no such kingdom existed.
This reminds me that XMPP needs to make a comeback. Its push-oriented nature is efficient, was largely built in a time when we didn’t expect users to have unlimited data, and the eXtensible part has allowed it to modernize with multi-device encryption, loading chat history, etc.
But it's unnecessary when you can do the same thing in 2 characters.

I like flock(1) and have known how to use it for 15 years. But there's sharp edges.

- It's not standardized. In particular, this means the OpenBSD base system doesn't even include it. It's not like the underlying flock(2) is very well behaved or consistent.

- You need to ask for nonblocking behavior.

- If your command or script can ever result in a daemon launching, it may be holding the lock even though the part of your action that is supposed to be protected by the lock (the script/immediate subprocess) has ceased. so e.g. 'flock -n /tmp/relaunch-apache /etc/init.d/apache2 restart' could be a really bad idea. -u can fix this... in some cases.

I have some trouble guessing offhand what flavor of security confusion was fresh in mind from the preceding 3 to 10 years (and I was yet to be born), but after glancing at RFC 931, I'm going to guess that before this, user-hostname identifiers were handled in varied ad-hoc ways allowing spoofing of sender, or connecting user. I'm careful not to say "authenticating" user.

I don't federate. If I had more control over how much data other servers could dump on my server, other than restricting rooms with X number of users, I would. Synapse and Element together are heavier than any other chat servers/clients I've ran, with only one exception.

It is not a big problem, because my number of active users is fairly small (under 50), but I could see myself having to use a different server software, or possibly a different protocol all together, if it were to open up and grow.
I bet if you read this back to yourself, you’ll understand why they let you go. And hopefully you’ll approach your next gig differently.

From their perspective, they hired a guy, and it took him 3 weeks to close a single CSS ticket. If you were the company, what would you do?

It sounds like you may be new, so chalk it up to miscommunication. But next time, spend the first day “learning” while closing a few real tickets. Make sure you’re up to speed with the rest of the team in your first week, so there’s no question of your value.
Exactly, which is why you need to consider this stuff and not use those types of services if you have actual confidential data. Find a provider with clear contracts that prevent these types of changes. Self host. Whatever, just make sure to pay actual attention to what you're doing.
I mean - have you sniffed the network traffic to see if anyone is trying to remotely access the Nest Protect? :)

> but there are only around 400 unique sounds in Mandarin, ignoring tones. Even adding five tones still only increases this to ~1500 (not all are used). Compare this to English, where estimates are in the 10-15k range.

Sure, but English needs them because there are only around 26 letters; compare this to Mandarin, where estimates are in the 400 range.
