Can’t say I‘m a regular user of Artifact, but I‘ve played around for a bit with their AI summarize feature and found it really satisfying. Very reliably tells you what‘s hiding behind clickbaity headlines and best of all, it works without having to confirm/close cookie dialogs or any other popovers first.

Edit: To give an example: Coming across the headline "Popular action series is cancelled after just one season", the summary really provides everything I want to know (or at least: to let me decide if I want to spend time actually reading the article):

> Cancelled after one season: CBS has axed action series True Lies, based on the 1994 film, after struggling to find its own identity.

> Mixed reviews and lack of audience: The show failed to gain a large enough audience despite starring actors like Steve Howey and Beverly D'Angelo.
Politics is also the very same reason I suspect the good ending is still possible with a reasonable chance. The Luddites went and physically smashed things to pieces. That's a little harder these days, but you're already starting to see writers going on strike and the "pause development of things bigger than GPT-4 for 6 months" letter, and Geoffrey Hinton quitting Google then doing the rounds in the media warning of danger etc. The temperature is visibly rising. Imagine what a large pissed off angry mob of newly disempowered people can do. What's more is the psyops that motivated actors are conceivably going to be able to run at scale to manipulate and radicalize people to join their cause and get them to do who knows what.

It's going to be one hell of an interesting ride.

I looked at that archive.org page. That is the marketing page for the GUSD. (And separate the actual signup page my guess is it goes into a bit more detail.) Also that is not the page for geminiearn - that is where the issue was with losing money.

This page: https://web.archive.org/web/20211201212024/https://www.gemin...

Now I will note that on that page it does say this:

"Gemini is partnering with accredited third party borrowers including Genesis, who are vetted through a risk management framework which reviews our partners’ collateralization management process. Additionally, on a periodic basis we will conduct an analysis of our partners’ cash flow, balance sheet, and financial statements to ensure the appropriate risk ratios and healthy financial condition of our partners."

But the thing is this. There is literally no way to prevent against outright fraud of a counter party. (See the Crazy Eddie story where they were shifting inventory from store to store when they were being audited).

Look one thing I will tell you here let's call it 'the bottom line'. I am an old timer. And I right off saw crypto involved risk and as such I did not either make or lose any money on crypto. As an again 'old timer' it just didn't make sense to me. I would have never gone down this road because being around for so many years right off it had the potential for issues. Plus again there is always counterparty risk.

Apple was an original investor in ARM and used ARM processors for Newton and a bunch of things like, I think, some of the time capsules.

I believe they are using RISC V internally, for some small things that are invisible to the end user. It would make sense, just to get a feel for it in case it matters down the road.
>without much risk for a while.

> There was some technical risk, but

These statements are a bit at odds. "But it never actually occurred" is a statement of chance, not risk. I also suspect you are downplaying significant systemic risk. "Withdraw at anytime" could go away quite easily in several scenarios.
I don't see a way to add a windscreen? A $50 field recorder with a $10 wind screen will probably sound better in the field than this. This looks like it's main intended to be used for transcription indoors. I also can't find any details on headroom.

Am I the only one who thinks postgresql’s timestamp and timestamptz types are incredibly stupid?

I just want to either save a local date and time, or an utc timestamp. Postgresql’s timestamp(tz) types do neither and both at the same time.

The day a quantum computer is able to host a huge LLM, things will get really interesting for humanity.

I say this, because I'm not sure how all of this is really going to scale on GPUs. It feels like LLM's are just as magical as quantum computing.
Always felt the Deluge is a more 'hacker-type' groovebox, i.e. not as shiny and beginner-friendly as most other products – but with sheer endless capabilities. For examole the number and length of tracks being only limited by RAM and CPU, not some arbitrary low number).

So the firmware going open source feels natural and I'm excited to see what the community can do. I guess it's a very huge and complex C/C++ codebase, so it will probably take some time to get started...
Unpopular opinion on HN apparently, but MySQL

- It's less featureful, and I'd consider that a strong virtue in the YAGNI camp - less to go wrong, less mental overhead.

- Maintenance is simpler and far less necessary in my general experience.

- Replication is simpler and more reliable.

- You can tell the query optimizer what to do. When this is needed, you'll be thankful. It's a godsend.

That said, I wouldn't run Oracle MySQL. I opt for MariaDB on smaller projects and AWS Aurora MySQL for larger projects. Aurora scales insanely well, and replication lag is almost non-existent.

In my general experience MySQL was always significantly faster but it's been a number of years since I've worked with Postgres and the comments here seem to indicate that that may no longer be the case. YMMV
How does one-sec compare in your mind? That price point seems more reasonable, based on what the app does.

They sold their ARM stake in their near-death phase. They have an architectural license.

At this point I assume their whole ARM portfolio has been designed from scratch and they are paying those license fees for patent licenses and bc they still use the ARM instruction set. Cheaper than switching.
> I've always assumed that PostgreSQL, but never really bothered to look into what I get for the effort.

You're making a (mistaken) assumption that Postgres giving you a "step up" means that you also have to put in more effort. You don't, at least not in my experience. Both are database servers with a bunch of install & setup. There's phppgadmin if you want an 1:1 replacement for phpmyadmin (no opinion on these, haven't used either).

Postgres just gets you farther if you need to at a later point.

I would recommend you swap out mysql for postgres on your raspis. You're gaining experience on one of the two. But experience on Postgres seems to be more useful and valuable (cf. rest of the HN comments), for the same cost of your time.
They actually use a 5-dimension political spectrum. Left-right is not specific to any political party, dates back 200+ years and is extensively used in academic and nonacademic literature.

What other system would you recommend for evaluating political bias in news?
I am quite new to Mac world. Some time ago I looked around for a fast and free notetab-like application, similar to Notepad++ on Windows. Lot of people recommended BBEdit so I tried it and I'm quite happy with it. The only thing I cannot figure out is where is the "reopen all opened files on app restart" option.
The idea that the mutations that happen in a lab setting whether direct editing or serial passaging would ever resemble anything that would happen in the wild is as likely as expecting a store bought banana evolving in the wild.
> I think it stems from the unprecedented success of such zealots in the 1980s,

I would challenge this belief, that the success of Linux, or the Web technologies (TCP, HTTP, HTML, etc.) were primarily the result of the zealots from the 80s. I would challenge the belief that protocols for Twitter-like communication fall into the same category as things like POSIX, TCP/IP, HTTP, HTML, etc.

> That's largely been the result of people arguing passionately on the internet to advocate for that level of openness, collab & interop.

My own opinion is the key to success was a large number of people writing useful code and an even larger number of people using that code.

One example that comes to mind is how HTML was spun out from w3c into WhatWG. Controversial at the time to say the least but IMO necessary to get away from the bickering of semantic web folks who were grinding the progress to a halt. HTML 5 won the day over XHTML (actually to my disappointment). The reason wasn't the impassioned arguments of the semantic web zealots, it was the working implementations delivered by the WhatWG members to serve the literal millions of people using their applications. Another example is the success of Linux over Hurd - the latter being a technology initially supported by the most vocal and ideological of all the zealots.

It is a simple fact that if AT garners sufficiently useful implementations and those implementations garner sufficient numbers of users - all of the impassioned arguments against it will have been for naught. So those arguing should probably stop so that they can focus on implementing ActivityPub (or whatever they think is best) and attracting users. I guarantee you that if ActivityPub attracts millions of users then Bluesky will suddenly see the light. They will change course just like every big tech company did when Linux became successful.

It is also why I think all of the hot-air on RSS and Atom was literally wasted. As technologies both have thus-far failed to attract enough users to make it worth it. I would bet that the same will be true of both AT and ActivityPub. Unless someone develops an application that uses one or the other and it manages to attract as many users as Twitter then people are just wasting time for nothing.
> “smuggle the exponentiality” somewhere that isn’t being explicitly considered, exactly like all proposals for perpetual-motion machines smuggle the entropy increase somewhere that isn’t being explicitly considered.

this is the gist of this. so he is saying that the scalability issues they will run into, come from the entropy increasing with the N such that heat is the real problem? (ah, so maybe this is also why Quantum computers are usually frozen???)

also, how big of an N are we talking about?

I see a weird echo here, I am thinking about exporting the waste (heat, byproducts, the specific 'how-to? by which, in a way, the entropy rules get 'enforced') as being the problem.

so then, he wrote:

> while the proponents wield the sharp steel of accepted physical law

I find this analogy quite cutting... with sharp enough steel and enough acceptance (regardless of how the acceptance comes about.... ok), the heat/entropy can get forced around? time to go get my tin foil shield,

then again, I have only been trying to understand exponentiation ever since I found out it existed, and I had not even heard about the "extended" version of the church-turing thesis, hence I'm some kind of ignorant crank (sorry if this comes across as bitter, but I am studying a master's degree in theory of computer science and I had not ever heard about an extended version of that famous thesis;l surely my own fault for not going to study to the USA or europe)
It was not Einstein like brain that ended slavery. And it was not kind of people that complain about 'virtue signaling' either. The latter were just obstacle anyway.

Einstein was smart, did awful lot for physics, even did some active virtue signing moves toward racial equality.

But, his kind of brain had presidly zero with solving issues in question, no matter how much distasteful you find people who talk about those issues.
I don't think it makes a difference in what tone you're being lied to.
One of the most frequent criticisms of Smalltalk is that it doesn't play well with others. It's an IDE, but it's also a runtime, and, in a sense, a whole OS, with its own programs and development tools, in a virtual machine (running on your computer or, in ancient times, on bare metal).

It IS alien to those who come from text editors and IDEs.

OTOH, it makes our usual development environments look crude in comparison. In fact, Smalltalk 80 still has that effect.
> knowing they're grown in a chicken poop

Most mushrooms you eat aren't coprophilous fungi. You're probably thinking of some variants of magic mushrooms (not all magic mushrooms grow on dung).

The mushrooms you're eating grow from the dirt. If you're into mushrooms, you'll probably also have mushrooms that grow on trees. But unless you're looking to trip, you're not getting poop shrooms.
Story from quite recent past.

I went to Stockholm this week to attend the AWS Summit. When the plane touched down in Stockholm, I figured that I'll message some friends via Matrix, if any of them wanna meet.

My messages didn't seem to go through. That's weird, but I guess roaming is blocking that somehow (I wonder how/why, isn't it just https? Oh well)... So I try it again bit later, when I'm on wlan.

Exactly same error. Client says that my messages cannot be sent. This is when I notice that none of the busy channels have had new messages.

And that's when I noticed that my Matrix provider has been having a serious database outage, starting about the time I arrived in Stockholm. The whole server is down and the only blatant symptom is that the client complains about outgoing messages.

Twitter is a tech company. Would you feel like the CEO of a tech company if you weren't overseeing the tech and software? Will Musk answer or defer to the CEO with regard to product decisions? I suspect not...

I think the idea that people had, especially Tesla stockholders, is that Musk would kind of step back from Twitter and re-focus on Tesla.
Same position.

There's so many things I want to learn I'm not sure postgres is such a step up from MySQL that it's worth being at the top of the list.
Here at LargeTelco with a legally privileged and regulated safety-critical utility status, absolutely every administrative interaction with a production host goes through a bastion that, on top of enforcing access privileges, also records _everything_. Also, LargeTelco is a complex hell of subnetting. I can very well see the enterprisey attraction of having not just Tailscale's low cost and extraordinary ease, but also session records like it is just a cherry on top !

Is that even possible? Take the specific language apart the choice of which stories to report on is already/can be highly biased.

Not sure a sanitized Fox News or NYT is “bias free” and is probably more dangerous than approaching the original articles knowing what their bias is.

With that said the product being demo-ed here is about sensationalism not bias per se as in this discussion.
Do you generate the headline from the original headline, or do you desensationalize the body of the article and then ask OpenAI to generate a headline based off of the new article body?

It seems like the latter might be better, since it ensures the headline actually matches the article below, as opposed to relying on a likely-clickbaity title that would no longer match the desensationalized article body.

Probably worth testing both ways to see what the results look like!

1. The risk is you've wasted your time being underpaid at a shitty organization run by people who you can't really learn anything from.

2. It's not close to competitive, YC backed companies are cash starved before they raise their first real round.

3. It's more fun if things go well (1/10 chance even after you are YC backed)

4. Odds of this are astronomically low and even lower outside the Fed's ZIRP.

I've worked at multiple size organizations too except for pre seed/seed companies because it seems awful - the Founders are just some random Berkeley kids without product market fit. All the people who I know who are in the same space would never take that deal. What percentage of VCs or Founders do you think take that deal?

Nintendo took a big risk delivering that patch during the early review period; holy cow that was down to the wire.

Supposedly the producer himself played through the game over 20 times. They surely knew the perf issues were there, in the early demos, and in the review copies. They must have had that patch in the works for a while to address the issues.. Crazy.
You know, I'm nearly certain that that post does violate some "international law or regulation".

Do I know which one? Nope, not a clue. But many countries have pretty weak free speech protections, and pretty strict drug laws. The idea that that violates none of them seems quite unlikely.

The fact that your local laws have strong free speech protections doesn't really matter when the criteria is "local or international". If it violates north korea's, china's, or singapores laws it still violates that restriction.
I'm not for crushing the American people to curb inflation either, but that's the play J Pow is making. From an economics perspective, it does help the construction worker if higher wage earners spend less money.

I've been one of the people hurt most by this, and I'm not happy about it either. Software Developers doing mental gymnastics to align themselves with the investor elite instead of their fellow working class Americans is some shit.

You probably aren't any slower. One difference that I think I've noticed between older and younger devs is that older ones tend to be slower to actually write code than younger ones are. But the code they write tends to be closer to correct, so less time is needed refining and debugging it.

So it can look slower up front, but over the span of the entire task, it's faster.

To be fair, at the scale of your use case there I really hope you have a proper DBA who understands multiple database systems and their details, and is able to make the best choice for your setup. (At some point the commercial and/or oddball SQL servers become an option too…)

For everyone else who's in most cases not even stuffing a million rows into their database… just stick with Postgres :)
Okay, I won't ask why you did it, but I know I would have liked to run their IDE under DOS instead of Windows. Back in that era, Windows was very slow and clunky, and I was pretty unhappy when I "upgraded" to Borland 4.0 (IIRC) which required Windows.

Fortunately, I switched to Linux around the same time.
There is indeed a difference, but you wouldn't know it from listening to these breathless announcements every night.

What I hate about these particular (nearly verbatim) examples is the summing of the entire population of every state that might be touched by a system and barfing it out as if it's a body count.

And why all of a sudden does every weather phenomenon (or variant thereof) have a new sensational name?

And on a California-centric tangent: I also detest meaningless labels, which CA loves. For example, there's a RED FLAG WARNING! WTF is that supposed to mean? Are millions of people threatened by red flags? OH NOES!

And finally there's "sigalert." Insert giant eye-roll emoji.

I have been reading Michael Pollan's book, How to Change Your Mind.

In the first couple chapters, Pollan is trying to link some of the newer (1960s+) perceptions that we have about drug-induced mystical experiences, to those of earlier investigators. He goes back to the noted 1800s American philosopher William James, who wrote Varieties of Religious Experience.

Turns out James was an experimenter with Nitrous. As I remember Pollan's telling, James used a lot of nitrous, and preferred it strongly to some other substances available at the time (that maybe gave less well-controlled experiences?). According to Pollan, it was not a harmful thing. Wiki has a little more (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_James#Philosophy_of_re...).

The Pollan book is quite worthwhile, BTW.
