Working to pay off loans doesn’t mean they won’t have salary. You’ve had loans, haven’t you?

How do you suggest the people who move there to pay for the tickets? Corporations who pay in exchange for labor? Or governments who pay in exchange for services? If anything that would make them beholden to their employers.

> Avoiding all current human laws

That is an uncharitable take. He said they should govern in their own terms, not that they should “avoiding all current human laws”. American laws are very similar to British ones, even if Americans refused to be governed by the British ones.

If you want to judge his intention according to your bias, be my guest, but nothing he said clearly indicates whatever ideas you think he has, according to this article.
It's almost like none of them had any actual value, and the vast majority of them were just attempts to crush and take over existing markets using outside war chests.
"The Order has formal diplomatic relations with 112 states (including the Holy See) and has official relations with another five states and with the European Union.[5] The Order maintains diplomatic missions around the world and many of the states reciprocate by accrediting ambassadors to the Order (usually their ambassador to the Holy See). During the reign of Fra' Andrew Bertie as Prince and Grand Master (1988–2008), the number of nations extending diplomatic relations to the Order more than doubled from 49 to 100."

Will do. I had picked up that from a link from one of the earlier comments.
Could I just train a very small LLM with an English dictionary + Python + large API documentation + large Python code base?

Then do some chat fine tuning (like what HF did with StarCoder to get ChatCoder)

And get a lightweight LLM that knows the docs and code for the thing I need it for

After that, maybe incrementally fine tune the model as part of your CI/CD process
Nobody's forced to work for Uber. It's not "siphoning" money from anybody. Drivers are driving for it because it's the best job available -- often because of the flexibility that lets them do it around other scheduled commitments. Take that opportunity away and they become worse off, not better.
The term “cryptocurrency” is WAY more inclusive than the thing you invested in.
Well, "intelligent" has always been a murky term, and as tech is rapidly surpassing us in every way, it'll become even more meaningless as times goes on.
> More importantly, it gives me the courage to dream and attempt things beyond my current abilities.

I am approaching this from the opposite background ( started with an arts background and learnt coding after ), but this resonates with me massively as well.

It took me a 2 years of tutorials before doing my own things became intuitive. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss game design.

Deploying a Rails App on Render with Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, and Cron Jobs
Hey — I wrote up this blog post and it was received well on reddit and in the rails community, so I thought I'd repost it here too for the hn crowd.

A shortish post going over how to deploy a slightly-more-complex-than-usual Rails app to Render (heroku competitor). Render has some good guides for Rails, but they miss the Cron job part.

Hope you find it useful, and I'd love to hear any feedback you've got! (I've already received a handy pointer that I could consolidate the cron jobs and sidekiq worker using the sidekiq-cron gem, i'll be trying that soon).
I think you did well and received a good price!

For the last several years, bitcoin and crypto related domain names have been really hot and selling at high prices. supertokens.com would make a great crypto business name, this would have been in the seller's mind when he set the price. I'm surprised that your domain broker didn't mention it.
I wondered this too until I saw a YouTube video [1] of Steve Jobs going to Japan to meet an artisan he admired who makes Japanese pottery. I guess you globe-trot to find the actual craftspeople.

A few issues with this which are vendor lock-in, deprecations, outages and company shutdowns.

Outsourcing your stack to multiple risky third-party startups isn't the best idea.
Which basically means most of it went into rents paid to SV land holders.
We should do the same with fiction novels. For example:

In 1922, a man named Nick Carraway moved to West Egg, Long Island, a region populated by newly rich individuals who have established social connections. Nick has taken residence in a small house next door to a mansion owned by a man named Jay Gatsby.
This is a great writeup. I'd personally go with a binoc scope and some other personal preferences, but either way it's awesome to see a nice breakdown like this.
> When a bundler/transpiler encounters an import statement, they don't necessarily presume that the file being imported is JavaScript or even any of the variants mentioned above. If configured properly and you want to import a CSS or PNG file, it will happily do so for you.

This is what I like to nickname "WebpackJS". Code that is simply invalid JavaScript and requires a carefully configured composition of webpack plugins in order to be used. I occasionally run into npm packages wanting to "import" a CSS file when I use them from ClojureScript, and it's always a pain. The good news is that these ar rare encounters, but it's still behavior enabled by people assuming you're using the exact same framework as them with the exact same Webpack configuration made by said framework.

I only focus on architecture now. ChatGPT handles the rest.
At this point, I barely see a difference between "malware" and most commercial operating systems. Certainly anything samsung or microsoft makes are just thin pretenses to steal as much information as possible. I'm not familiar with Googles stuff but I can't belive it's any different.
The science of understanding environmental impact has improved hugely. We can actually know pretty well the answer to those kind of questions. And often the impact will be less damaging to the environment than what it is replacing (such as farmland).
Is there a good way to do case-insensitive accent-insensitive collations yet in postgresql? It’s been a holdup for using that for some use cases like searching for data, like a person’s name, in pgsql when the casing or accents don’t match perfectly.

Mssql has had this for ever, and I’m pretty sure MySQL has it as well.
A very valid use-case not mentioned in the article is to save all your personal terminal interactions to a database so you can search it in the future. Your terminal's input (and output) value per byte is enormous so really everyone should be saving it all.

I'll be horsing around with this tonight -- I hope ts sshing to my local computer will just work so I can get local recording as well without a separate mechanism.
piggybacking on this: does anyone know a Postgres alternative to PlanetScale?
However, the same thing could be achieved with closed source models. There's nothing to stop an LLM being made available to run on prem under a restrictive license. It would really be no different to ye olde desktop software - keeping ownership over bits shipped to a customer is solved with the law rather than technical means.

That said, I really hope open source models can succeed, it would be far better for the industry if we had a Linux of LLMs.

I only started getting a proper income recently. How exactly was I supposed to pay when my YT Premium used to be 5% of my income?

I already pay for Spotify and Amazon Prime. I literally don't have more disposable income. (Unless I throw in the emergency cash reserve or investments) I still have to pay for dental surgery and an optometrist.

What is it with people like you telling us to "admit" some deep seated desire? Is it so hard to not assume things about my life and create your own fantasy?

As an exasperated American who does have occasional conversations with other exasperated Americans, I know a lot of us see this and are stuck in our social/cultural current of people repeatedly informed that they should be angry and scared at reform of any kind.

You can't suggest anything without being browbeaten to death with someone's "Freedom" ideal that generally excludes solving any problems.

We're being shot. Don't ask about gun control, if we do that we'll spiral into a tyrannical hellscape (the irony)

People can't afford to get sick. Don't mention socialized medicine, you'll just end up footing the bill for illegals.

The capitalist class is abusing the working class, unions have their own problems so "ehh," and then there's people bending over backwards to take the perspective of the billionaires.

I expect any drastic finance reform would be met with similar fear from a class of people only ever abused by the thing they're protecting.
How can one protect the integrity of a website if they're undermining free speech rights and simultaneously derailing conversations and fragmenting communities while doing so?

Though we didn't first define what "integrity" meant, it now seems impossible to formulate a meaning for it that isn't absurdly ironic given the actions performed to protect it.

One could be forgiven if we were talking about a forum or website that exists in a totalitarian regime like China... better that there be some conversation than the only other option, none at all. But in the US or Europe or any other nation that considers itself even minimally enlightened?

Moderation is not the solution. It may even be the problem.
PSMS (Puget Sound Mycolological Society) member here...
Stamets is widely regarded as a crank and makes a lot of mostly unsubstantiated claims about fungi. He is a fun guy (lol fungi) to talk to but you can't take anything he says too seriously. At least without further research of your own. Stamets is an interesting speaker, as far as I know always welcome at PSMS events, but the default impression most people in the pacific northwest mycology community have of stamets is that he confabulates a lot.
Just a thought, why is it ok these skills were lost? You never really said whether it was good or bad, just that it happened.
I mean, the climate doomers kind of have a point since we're currently living through a mass extinction event that we caused.
Do you have some references supporting that claim?

If unlocking the bootloader on e.g. Pixel phones sold by Verizon would be as simple as asking Verizon to do it, I do not understand why there would be multiple long threads on XDA developers forum where people try to circumvent this restriction in various shady ways.
100k context limit is still a limit (we have no idea how Anthropic is achieving this - if it is extension of the base model context limit itself or some vector db trickery in the backend or probably even RAG). Even in this example, though it could fit entire text of Great Gatsby it still is 1 book/text/document. Typical business use cases require searching through hundreds if not thousands of documents/books and finding similar vector embeddings through all of them and fetching top-K results (this is how Google search works when it has to scan through embeddings for billions of websites). These top-K results can be stuffed into the 100k context limit and produce an even more holistic picture rather than just stuff one book/pdf/file into the context. Depends on the requirements though. I don't see how it might affect vector db vendors who can process billions of vectors per query and provide top-K results.

Also having a massive context length is not necessarily a good thing from perspective of cost. It also doesn't work great with a chatbot as you will have to feed the same 100k worth context back into the chatbot for every question which will turn out to be very expensive. At some point you will have to discard some parts of the context to be specific to the question being asked and that is where vector embeddings come into play. For one off research/Q&A 100k limit works great!
The UDHR, Article 15, says that everybody has a right to have nationality and can't arbitrarily be deprived of nationality. The EU is not a nation and nobody has an "EU nationality", so depriving somebody of their EU citizenship doesn't violate Article 15. People in the UK retained their nationalities.
We use YugabyteDB and have had a lot of success with it. We deploy it across 5 continents and it's remarkably performant.

My gut tells me that I would do it in the query itself though, and not rely on the collation. Maybe I am misunderstanding.
It's because they have been bitten by inheritance issues. Classes are great as long as you limit or avoid inheritance altogether. They work so nice with typescript.

Apple has shifted its processor technology every 11 years for its desktop machines.

But it has kept with ARM on iPhone for the last 15, so...

Anyhow, it is hard to predict with accuracy that far out.

That said, the first indications of a shift would be Apple adopting the RISC-V chip on the low end, things like the Apple Watch and Air Pods. Apple Watch has been using a 7N ARM chip since 2018 at nearly the same speed -- it seems like it doesn't need to be getter faster at each generation like the iPhone or MacBooks do. If adoption happens in this peripheral areas, then it is likely to move upstream to other devices over time.
True.

At least for me I will say that disturbingly small number is probably good enough for practical purposes. All favorite thing, people, food are just snapshots in memory and revisiting them in physical world did not feel as great as my mind imagined.

I tried a few of those past favorite things and they were fine but nothing like best moments or some such. Same with people, neither they nor I am same person as before.
I do have access to it and from my very limited testing it looks like it can program at least on par with GPT-3.5. I didn't have time yet to test it more comprehensively against GPT-4.
Just a matter of time, until plugins are supported!
I was also disappointed with my OP-1. After receiving a unit that had a broken OLED display, I received a replacement whose rotary encoder knobs were visibly askew. When I reached out about it, TE told me that it was "normal". I would expect tighter QA control on a product that is $1000+, but since it is made offshore in China, I guess they can only do so much?

Okay, I think I misinterpreted your previous comment:

I interpreted this to you misunderstanding on how gig jobs work, not an argument for the way it should be.

Ask HN: Good Marketing?
I'm a technical founder of a startup. I am not naturally a marketer (obv.) but I do believe that there is such a thing as good marketing.

Do you agree? What would you consider good marketing? Can you think of good examples? What differentiates good vs bad marketing? What do you hate seeing? There is so much cynicism, I feel like the bar is incredibly high.

If its useful: we're B2B and solving real problems related to data and data use at companies - not sure if that changes opinions re: marketing.
What the media said is irrelevant.

Those who have experience with such projects predicted very accurately what will happen.

1) The basic service will mostly stay up one way or another. Because otherwise all is lost.

2) Many auxiliary services will start degrading or going away. For example, yesterday search autocomplete was disabled after it started autocompleting everything in obscene ways.

3) We'll experience more frequent outages and glitches (and we do).

4) His velocity will grind to a halt. Meaning, he can't ship new features at depth, only superficial crap, and things that were started long before he bought the company.
