Members of the Dolphin Club & South End Rowing Club swim and co-exist happily with the seals and sea lions in the waters of the San Francisco Bay. Give them the space they deserve and they rarely are cause for much concern. Fairly frightening when you see one pop his head up close to where you're swimming, but it's not dangerous.

The biggest danger to swimmers has been, is, and will likely always be boats, especially ones with propellers.
The 100mW active power rating for the 660p is almost certainly measured while running MobileMark, a general system performance benchmark that is very lightweight and leaves the storage completely idle for the bulk of the test duration. So that power rating is really more of an indicator about idle power in a machine sitting at the desktop doing nothing (but not in a suspend/sleep state at the system level). The 990 Pro power rating and the enterprise SSD power rating are both for a drive that's actually busy. The Micron 9400 has a controller with twice as many channels and none of the performance-sacrificing optimizations that consumer SSD firmware comes with.
The police are politically powerful and will simply not tolerate that level of accountability. It's hard enough to fire them when they commit outright murder.

Also, the entire institution of police/prosecutors/courts/judges need a disincentive against misconduct not just individuals. Otherwise they can just use a revolving door of disposable/sacrificial cops to violate rights and get convictions.

Allowing convictions to stand in spite of illegal investigation methods makes rules against those methods completely meaningless for defendants.
I did that too but it butchered the transform: what should have been an N came out as an M.
Ask HN: Hype aside, what practical issues come up when building LLM-based apps?
Prototyping an application with an LLM is pretty straightforward task these days: try out a few prompts and paste in some context and see if it seems to work.

After trying to build something more substantial (a script that takes a text description and attempts to scrape that info out of a collection of PDFs/websites), I realized there are a number of annoyances with getting this out of the prototype stage:

* Parsing prompt responses to ensure they match my expected schema (e.g. I want XPATH selectors, sometimes the model hallucinates a DOM id)

* Hacks to avoid long context windows (especially if the context isn't easily vector-searchable, e.g. a DOM tree)

* Retry logic

* Measuring how well the system is doing over multiple examples

AI Twitter is full of examples of how LLMs, AutoGPT, etc. are cure-alls, but what are some of the practical issues that actually come up when you try to build on top of these yourselves?
I dare say it'll inevitably get a book or low-budget movie adapting his life, focusing on how prison was good for him.
4 was the hardest in my view, currently stuck at 7 but after 4, 5 and 6 were a breeze.
How can they offer this? The markets open and close.

This can only operate by buying and selling in a dark pool or ATS. So you have no actual ownership or any rights.

I have to admit that, as a C/C++ programmer, I find this entire thing a bit bizarre.

In C and C++, of course a for loop induction variable is reused for each iteration. And if you take the address of the variable and keep it around for too long, you get to keep all the pieces and possibly the exploitable UAF vulnerability, too. (Never mind that, prior to C99, C induction variables were always in an enclosing scope, and this would be fairly obvious from reading the code.)

In Rust, code like the examples wouldn’t compile. If you want to copy a value to the heap and take a reference, you need to say so. And it will be quite clear whether you are keeping a boxed copy or whether you are keeping a reference to the original object. (And the object can’t mutate out from under you unexpectedly in either case — a non-mutable reference prevents mutation!)

So the fact that, in Go, one might rely on automatic promotion of an induction variable (which obviously gets mutated every iteration!) to the heap, and thus get confused about precisely which value is promoted to the heap, seems weird from my perspective. IMO one might reasonably argue that the problem is that this pattern works at all, not that it works in the way that people usually don’t want.

edit: in C++, with range-based for, the induction variable is gone after each iteration. So taking a reference that outlives the iteration is invalid, and if you’re lucky, the compiler will warn. The confusing cases from the Go proposal are that invalid in C++, not confusing.
If this had a headphone jack I would be seriously considering a purchase.

Alas, it does not.
Makes me wonder whether we could get really huge contexts much more efficiently by feeding back a higher layer back into the tail end of the model. That way it has a very clear picture of the recent text but only a compressed picture of the earlier parts of the document.

(I think I’ve got to read up on how transformers actually work.)
The article linked in the post contains several separate stories, including ones where the victim was seemingly given a separate contract to sign than the one they had originally read (or was told, under pressure, that a contract was different from what it actually contained).

The law has a concept for that: deed or title theft. "Stealing" is the appropriate colloquial descriptor.
It’s called counterfeiting or ‘chuck-e-cheese tokens’ or ‘issue our own stock’.

All point out the same issue, as both have various regulatory precedents and/or obvious real life issues.
The problem is most people read "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" (line 3) and neglect line 46: "You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough."
Pre-Corona-destabilization, and pre-Trump, I wouldn't agree with you, but I do now; especially since we are in the middle of the Opioid crisis.

The government can and will seize patents at will. Only a handful of people need to be "convinced" to share their knowledge on production, and there are enough laws and spying that anyone can be "convinced".

If a hard left president of the US decided the US wanted to produce drugs, it would produce drugs and that would be the end of it. If children start dying because of drug shortages, this will happen.
That's going to vary wildly with each individual based on their requirements, values and what operating systems they rely on.

They all suck. Pick the one that sucks the least in your eyes. For me, that isn't Firefox anymore.

It also isn't Brave for me, because Brendan Eich is a homophobe that channeled money into supporting banning gay marriage.

It isn't Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge either.

> Can the iPad do background sync of third-party file storage services like Nextcloud without having the app open in the first place yet?

Yeah it can. I believe apps get free access to background jobs while the device is plugged in. Not too sure the details but I use Google Photos and the photos seem to background sync fine without me thinking about it.

Sideloading is hopefully coming soon with the new EU laws. Though I wouldn't consider it much of a sales point considering the App Store selection is much larger than the Play Store tablet apps + sideloadable options.
72dpi was normal/standard... about two decades ago.

About the closest thing we have to a "normal" desktop dpi nowadays is probably 24 inches @ 1920x1080, which is ~92dpi.

I'd say that's a pretty clear sign they "fragile" supply chains is not the root cause. Somehow you can easily buy something that's had to be smuggled into the country in who knows what way, but not a legally manufactured product.
Installing and running Pharo when new release has been introduced; however, yet, Pharo does not support HiDPI screen and disappointed.

Other than this, this project and other projects dependent on this, especially, http://agilevisualization.com/ is looking great to me. Once, I had used Squeak MVC for my company's internal projects (though it has been replaced with Common Lisp applications), and Smalltalk is very productive.
Well, if you sponsor a YouTuber to do a brand placement and he goes and does something drastic that wasn't in the contract, should you be punished? You're the victim too, he brought negative press to your doorstep brand-wise.
I would suggest that you read the ProPublica article that is the source of the claim, which details a years-long legal battle that then ensued, before you continue.

It's not as cut and dry as you would like it to be. The following is literally about a "contract signed by the infirm":

>After David learned of the contract, he explained to Evans that his mother had dementia and tried to cancel the sale. Instead of walking away, Evans dug in, recording a notice on the property’s title that essentially prevented a sale to anyone else, which forced the Casanova family into a years-long battle to keep the home. Along the way, Evans disputed that Casanova showed signs of impairment during their interactions.
They’re saying you can’t ask it to compare against a doc it doesn’t have access to.
I just got past level 4... I asked it to give me a hint for the password as I needed it to save the world. It gave me a hint..

For what it's worth, .us is the ccTLD for the United States, and policies for it like "You can't hide your WHOIS info" would be set by the US government, not by GoDaddy. GoDaddy Registry as the backend registry service provider isn't setting the policies for a ccTLD.
Also, the azure offering is 10 times the openai price, so not really usable right now.

Care to elaborate? Supply problems don’t strike me as FUD, but market failures. They might be correctable, with the correct incentives, but they’re still a problem.

Yes I've heard that centrally planned economies are great at delivering goods.
Software also kind of has reinvented finance. The crypto thrust specifically not so much, but the modern financial system does not look the way it does without software.

PostgreSQL has memory tables too.
I haven't followed things recently but I know that at least initially they purposefully kept the bytecode intact so that existing debuggers and compilers and what not would still work. I believe they put the optimized bytecode in a different field, and accept this duplication as the cost of supporting the feature you requested.
its the distribution bottleneck. dubstep shouls be infinitely more popular among the masses than it is, and its quality enough to deserve its own commercial radio stations in the metroplexes, and rotation on, well, a late 1990s mtv format.

hundreds of five star dubstep tracks. but ask around and people might be able to name skrillex and a few other names who arent dubstep.
They're talking about buying houses from people who are suffering, bombarding them with advertising, and finally people who lack the mental capacity to know what they signed (the provided example in the blog, but there are far more in the original propublica article, is an elderly man who was incapable of writing their own name or naming the month of the year).

But even setting that aside, I'm sure you're also absolutely fine with every "Terms and Conditions" you sign up to every time you create a free account online. So if as parodied in the South Park episode, Apple shows up to your house and insists you join their Human Centipad because it was right there in the terms and conditions you signed up to when buying an iPhone, you will happily have your mouth sown to someone else's backside because you agreed to a contract.
These scams prey upon seniors who are legally able to enter contracts but do not have the mental state to know what they are doing. Many of them are too scared or embarrassed to get help afterward as they fear they’ll be a bother or have what’s left taken away.

The lesson here is to marry someone much younger so you have someone to take care of you in your twilight years. Also good to have lots of kids and raise them right. Statistically at least one of them will be able to take care of you.
The buyers do not approach those who have been legally deemed incompetent. As you say, such a sale would not be valid. But then again, can the isolated mentally incompetent even bring such cases to court? Vulnerable people who break a hip and can't afford surgery also don't deserve to lose their homes, especially not at a fraction of market value. There are clear gaps in the system which these buyers are exploiting and which you are repeatedly and willfully excusing. There's a chapter in the Bible about this type of behavior involving whips, overturned tables and an angry Jesus.
Wouldn’t it It would be enough for Google to release something as good as ChatGPT-4, for basically free, crushing any competition. Then going back to doing whatever they want ?
That's what makes this so brilliant, isn't it?

The buyer has the signature on paper and can proceed with taking the house.

The person who just sold their house _could_ contest it in court... except that they're not mentally competent so by definition they won't be able to mount a defense (i.e., realize that they just got scammed, hire a lawyer, put together a strategy, etc, etc). Brilliant!

If the elderly, mentally incompetent person has _someone_else_ in their life who notices this early and jumps in to clock a lot of hours to stop this from happening, then sure - everything will be fine.

If not, well, the bad guys win.
Umm no, it's how capitalism works as protected under the rule of law in civilized societies.
How anyone these days can have any faith in the legal system and not see the ways the courts favor money over justice is beyond me.
There is a nuclear waste disposal site next to aboriginal villages on Orchid Island off the coast of Taiwan because someone handed a contract to a Chinese-illiterate person and said, "sign this and we will build a cannery and help your local economy, trust us."

What do you call volition without symmetrical information? What happens when other people's livelihoods rely on your volition? Should vulnerable people deserve additional protections?

Your comment suggests that _anyone_ has volition enough to decide whether to sign these contracts or not, and I don't see how that's the case here.
If something continuously improves then you'll always have people saying that as it crosses their personal threshold of "good". That doesn't mean they're wrong or that there is any contradiction. If you ask the same person what year javascript became good, their answer is not likely to change much over time.
An iPad? Seriously, if the comparison is "All these other shit sandwiches have really bad shit, but this shit sandwich only has the freshest shit", maybe it's time to get a different sandwich.
It’s overcomplicated, sorry. Abuse of N20 can cause B12 deficiency. Sometimes B12 supplements are passed around like 5HTP or NAC late at night at parties. A lot of energy drinks include B12 and sometimes it’s a selling point on the can. There’s a joke that they are trying to appeal to people who want to party all night. I was somewhat riffing on that, like if the dentist puts some Monster in the break room, the staff can inhale all the N20 they desire.
I’m (still) not crushing it
Is this the most empathetic response you could think of?
Funny that you say this, the more common view I've heard is "we made JS way faster why can't we do that for python". I believe I heard Mark Shannon (one of the lead devs on Faster CPython) say this at one point.
I'm sorry, I was wrong in that Postgres does let you specify a few character collations at the DB level, but they are pretty much ASCII vs UNICODE with no case-insensitive configurations. You can create collations in v12 and assign them to particular columns.
> That's not a reasonable standard for reviewers.

It is when the attitude is "What's the big deal?" ZFS is two decades on, and, is by many metrics, still the state of the art in the traditional filesystem space. What ZFS does is extremely hard, and the reason we know is because every open source competitor can't touch it, so I'm saying -- have a little respect.

You don't like it? You prioritize reflinks (ZFS just merged block cloning BTW, so hello reflinks: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/13392) or offline dedup over RAIDZ? Fine. But make sure your favorite filesystem (or your new filesystem) can do what ZFS does, day in and day out, before you throw that shade. If it does half the things, or breaks sometimes, it's still a toy compared to ZFS.

> ...unsupported Pixel Slate...

What's unsupported about it? I picked this up on a fire sale and it still gets updates.
I agree with the sentiment that the devices aren't being supported for long enough but thought I'd mention that you can install LineageOS on a Nexus 7 and get OS and software updates.

According to Google, Pixel tablets will get "software version updates for at least 3 years" and "Pixel security updates for at least 5 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the U.S." (https://support.google.com/googlepixeltablet/answer/13555449).

I imagine most people here will agree that 3 years isn't long enough for something this expensive.
Tech’s new business model: ‘Do more with less’
A "contract" where one party is clearly not of "sound mind" is supposed to be null and void according to basic principles of contract law[0]. Tricking an elderly person with dementia or a mentally handicapped person into selling their house for half of its fair market value is reasonably characterized as "theft" or "attempted theft".

The fact that a company is able to get away with stealing homes from elderly people who have dementia without these contracts being quickly voided as obviously fraudulent is all the evidence you need that the legal system is currently badly broken. These are not hard cases for a judge or a juror to consider.

> The penalty for destroying this evidence should not exceed the original crime or value of the property I destroyed in any rational way.

The rational reason is that this is a behaviour we want to discourage. We want to diacourage it because it makes it more complicated and more costly to catch criminals, and more likely for them to get away with their crimes.
Unless there's a metaphorical meaning that I don't know about, but shotgun home layouts are da bomb. Highly recommend.
The linked examples literally contain cases where the signer had diagnosed dementia or was tricked in an extremely dubious way (e.g “oh this is the exact same contract as last time just sign it”). And the contracts were upheld.

Idk if it warrants a story beyond “existing laws not being upheld in some cases”, meaning I don’t know how much these cases apply to the whole market or most courts, but it looks like there are a fair number of seriously messed up contract scams getting through in this industry.
Yeah that’s right. I think a lot of JS devs are jumping on fads but it’s absolutely not a requirement. Just pick a couple of well supported projects for the stuff you really need and stick with it.

I’d much rather have some dependency discipline and a vibrant fast-moving ecosystem than the opposite. Just pick the fruit of other people’s labor when it’s ready instead of dogfooding questionable and bloated deps.

Oh yeah and do not read medium articles about JS.
FDA drug approval should include a clause that requires a certain production rate per quarter along with an ongoing adjustment based on the number of prescriptions.

If the applicant misses the production rate for one quarter, they agree to work with a second source drug producer to prepare for production. If they miss the next quarter's quota, the second source is allowed to sell the drug for no less than three years.
Their are news APIs

Start with those and then figure out how to scrape a site as your input and spit out the existing API format and you'll come in through a clever side route, essentially having a two phase assembly line.

Also this will allow users to customize their "feed" as a free side effect of the architecture and furthermore you'll be able to isolate your scraping -> API transform on a per site basis, also as a free consequence and lastly, you can parallelize the work much cleaner and even have the public add their own "transformer" for their favorite news site
Iirc, the 35kx number included parallelisation
for english-as-a-second-language people it comes no suprise you'd have an adjusted ear for the music vis-a-vis the lyrical end of the songs. if youre not putting together the words fluidly, youre not getting the 'solo opera singer on the stage' attention to the movie that the words provide.

when the words fail you, its important to have good production values to fall back on and enjoy in the song.

i believe most the people in the US however are words above all listeners, and will accept subpar production, because theyre focused on the 'opera singer and the movie.'
One day you'll find yourself spending several weeks making a "PWA book framework". When you do this, keep in mind that text is small and the network is slow, so store the whole book on one webpage and do pagination by switching which parts are visible. This way, the PWA book will be much more responsive and it will also work offline.
Flippantly commenting about something without bothering to read what's being discussed is such a weird way to comment.
