Childcare is a job, especially with younger kids under, say, 6. The idea that you can execute childcare and your full time job effectively, simultaneously, is just a joke.

In terms of implementation, I can believe you that they're simpler.

In terms of conceptual load I disagree. In React I'd have to know two concepts: `useEffect` and `useState`. In Lit I have to know the API of LitElement; that it implements a host; the four methods of the controller; the boilerplate for registering my controller and triggering updates; plus all the conceptual baggage of classes.

Further, the hooks implementation considers when an effect should replace itself. For example, if you wanted to have the timeout change dynamically based on the component input, you'd get this for free in react by including `[timeout]` in the dependency array of `useEffect`, whereas with the controller you'd have to do the diffing and replacement yourself.

Then there's propagation of errors from controllers through the tree, where Lit just gives up [1].

Granted, you may not need these features for whatever project you're building, so a simpler framework may be perfectly fine. But don't call it Stockholm-syndrome when other projects _do_ need solutions to these problems.

I want to make clear that I'm not just picking these concepts because they're in React. I've used frameworks before React and I found myself naturally wishing for similar solutions. And React is by no means the only framework with such solutions.

API Hub Subscription to All APIs on the Platform
Hello everyone,
I am starting a SaaS project that is basically an API hub where you can pay a monthly subscription to use any of APIs listed on the marketplace.

I have been using APIs and publishing APIs on Rapid API for sometime now and found quite a lot of issues with the Rapid API Hub and being an API provider.

The main issues I have had with Rapid API is that it can be difficult to find the APIs that are lesser known and are designed to solve a more niche problems. Probably one of the biggest issues is that there doesn’t seem to be any form of quality control to what APIs can be on and stay on the platform and find a lot of the APIs listed on the platform tend to be expensive for what they offer.

The ideas I have in an attempt to solve these issues are:

- Having some kind of review process for having an API listed on the marketplace
- Having documentation to be a requirement (This would be apart of the review process)
- Having a single subscription to access all APIs to the platform this would stop users having to subscribe to multiple APIs on the Hub independently and would reduce costs to the users
- Having an easier to use UI making everything more direct and easy to navigate
- Having a required health check endpoint for all APIs on the marketplace to auto remove APIs that are down for X amount of time
- Having a page for discovering APIs in a way that gives the smaller APIs as much of a chance at getting discovered as bigger ones do with mainly giving priority to APIs to show reliability in there uptime and faster response times

How I am thinking of pricing as of now. I am thinking of having a monthly subscription that will give a user x amount of tokens a month and will refill to the same amount every month if they run out of tokens then they can be overcharged for what they use.

Being that getting an API on this hub is more difficult due to having the API providers having produce higher quality APIs I would like to pay the APIs that are listed on the hub using the tokens that users do not use giving all the API a percentage of the unused tokens value that gets divided between everyone.

I feel as this is a good way to fix the problems that Rapid API has I would love to hear the communities ideas on this and hear what you would be happy to pay for something like this and what things you don’t like or think would be a problem.

Thanks to everyone that took the time to read this!
The western european armies all massively downsized. The West-German Bundeswehr had around 500K soldiers and almost 3000 tanks until the end of the cold war. Currently, the - notably united - German Bundeswehr employs around 180k soldiers and owns a measly 225 tanks.
I know someone who was killed by this exact situation. No other injuries (that I'm aware of) for anyone else in the car. Their skull was broken

Can you expand on this some? I am not super familiar with the array-based group of languages, but so was under the impression that implementing S,K, and I combinators was possible. Is it just the restriction of array arguments or is it something else that inhibits the languages?
> To my surprise, ARM has an add-multiply instruction

Fused multiply-add is (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply%E2%80%93accumulate_...) is extremely useful and part of IEEE754-2008.

Because of that, it would surprise me if a modern CPU with floating point wouldn’t have it.

> And RISC-V uses 6 bytes because of shortened instruction for addition

That Wikipedia page claims RISC-V has fused multiply-add, so that may be compiler inefficiency. An answer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57248403/why-fused-multi... says gcc can generate it at -O3)
I'm not an intellectual heavy-weight. I am good at formal logical and, also relevantly, at countering the statement "there is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them". I also care about the truth more than anything else which I guess is a good first step toward being an intellectual.

I don't think I could make a good map of where the White race has lived over time even if I watnted to. I think it started somewhere in Europe in like 15,000 BC (very roughly), then spread throughout Europe, then had a colonial period during the last millennia where it colonised all over the world. Certainly I'm very far from an expert on this and it would depend obviously on the exact definition of the White race being used.
I recently made an LLM-based tool to identify inconsistencies with the INCOSE guide to writing requirements (identifying vague language, for example). Also have had some success translating those outputs to more structured language like LTL. I think it is doable

This clarified the issue to me. Thanks!
Have exactly same issue. I use a stopwatch on my watch, set it for 45 minutes, and every time it goes off, I force myself to do some short useful activity. This may be:

- a short stretch,

- a short light weight lifting session,

- making a coffee,

- cleaning up a small part of the house,

- doing a small step of any other physical chore.

Those can take 10 seconds or 5-10 minutes, depending on the activity. Usually there will be 1-2 longer breaks of this kind, and the rest are the shorter ones.

I especially like how some house chores goes away thanks to this!
I live in an archipelago of volcanic islands and asked the same from an enginner working in the power company. According to him, geothermal is only viable above a certain amount of power which restricts it to the largest islands. For the smaller islands (up to 15 thousand inhabitants) a combination of solar, wind and diesel is used instead.
SMT is not just hyper-threading, it also includes having multiple CPUs, including sockets and cores.

From a european standpoint it makes it really hard to live.
The pandemic definitely hit me where it hurts, in terms of social groups.

For over 20 years, a small circle of friends had met at a coffeehouse to play games. For a long time, it was Magic: the Gathering, and then in later years it was gin rummy, Clue, Sequence, and all sorts of other board and card games. We met in a large, very social local coffeehouse, then when that closed down we moved to a Starbucks right on the main drag, and then I found a very cute college-oriented teahouse, off the beaten path, and it was there where we whiled away the hours in the before-times.

Then the lockdowns hit, and of course we could no longer meet. Unfortunately, our circle of friends had stabilized with me and two elderly folks, and one of them wasn't savvy enough with Zoom for us to feasibly meet online and do our thing.

For a while, I tried to play online games with the other friend, but it definitely wasn't the same. We couldn't see each other and we couldn't even text-chat while the games were being played, so it really defeated the social purpose of playing the games over a table and a cup of tea, just to solve all the problems of the world.

I still chat with that one friend over the phone, and I share links with her and whatnot, but our social group never recovered from the lockdowns. In fact, the teahouse shut down, never to return. We went our separate ways.

I was also dismayed at how church handled lockdowns. That fateful Easter 2020 was a livestream from a small chapel, with none of the faithful allowed to partake. Bishops around the world essentially canceled every public Mass and told us all to stay home. This was known in earlier days as "Interdict", and Interdict is traditionally wielded as a punishment against nations and rulers who are hostile to the Church. Interdict, or withholding the sacraments from the faithful, is intended to elicit a cry of rebellion from them, that they rise up and demand their religious rights. This is exactly what happened in Mexico in the Cristero Wars, when the atheist government expelled priests and forbade them even to confer baptism.

It took a while, but church did recover, at least my local parish did. They restored the picnic tables and chairs, they put back the holy water, they restarted Masses and allowed us to sing, they began holding public events and even serving food. I'm thankful that the lockdowns did not last forever, for them.

Unfortunately, for me, several social options have evaporated. I work from home now, although the nature of my remote work would allow me to hook up anywhere that has WiFi. I have gone to the library once in a while, when there's an issue at home. I really think libraries are great third places, and kudos to the municipalities that strive to make them welcoming and useful to taxpayers.
> BEVs need huge (and more importantly heavy) batteries to function, but those are at least cheaper than the fuel cell and even huger compression tank needed to make a hydrogen car viable.

Wrong. Fuel cells and tanks will be vastly cheaper than batteries once produced at scale. They have very low resource requirements. They will likely match or beat internal combustion cars at cost. This is an unbeatable advantage compared to BEVs with any sort of range.

> Any reason an open-source project for search should not be called "OpenSearch", aside from "I don't like Amazon, so the project is bad"?

If you want to pretend that the thought process was "open source search" => OpenSearch you're free to do that.

The rest of us realize the project exists because they were unfairly benefiting from the Elasticsearch trademark and got push back...

So naming it "OpenSearch" then mentioning Elasticsearch 70 times in your FAQ https://opensearch.org/faq/ isn't a coincidence: they want to drive the same kind of confusion they got called out on in the first place.
> AIs can be as sentient as we like

Every time I see this: citation needed.

What proof do you have that an LLM, a fundamentally different entity from a human, can be sentient even in theory, let alone in practice? Can you even define sentience sufficiently?

The default position is that software does not possess sentience. There are numerous reasons why, from as simple as “we never thought it is sentient before, what exactly changed?” and “because we believe we are sentient and software is nothing like us under the hood” (animals are comparatively much, much more like us and yet we are not really ready to grant even them sentience) to much more philosophically involved stuff, but in any case the onus is on you to explain why and how it is now supposed for opposite to be true.

What alignment is really about is nothing more than the ages old story of alignment between humans (developing and operating ML tools) and humans (everyone else). It just serves the former to be able to point to something else when it hits the fan.

The idea that your job should be taking over your life is dangerous.

You work to live not the other way.

Family is more important than a job. So yeah, giving only 20-30% of your life to your job and keeping the rest for your family makes more sense than the other way around.
Following this since some days, still think its not a classic injection, it's just prompting. You either open the "prompting" interface or you don't.

If it's by design, then so be it. You can't prevent SQL injection if it's by design.

The "prompting" interface is perhaps too new that it allows parametrization?

And what triggers some AI engineer is likely to handle that with AI again, right?! Go, Inspector Gadget, Go!

Anyway, what this also reminds me then is, what is if an injection has already manifested within a model? We can't say, right?

So how do you detect a prompt injection that is exploiting a model manifested injection? Is that even possible with this Dual LLM? As in the slightest chance, not only the limited chance Mr. Willson gives it for the non-reflective prompt injection.
>Can you not just accept that "white" (however you like to define the term presently) men commit significantly more murders in America than in Germany?

Sure, I agree and I'm pointing out reasons as to why that is. I have never before heard gun policy lumped in with "socioeconomic factors."

My original point is that socioeconomic factors alone don't explain the gap in murder rates between e.g. black women and white men in the US and in other countries. Your argument to the contrary is woefully insufficient. Comparisons between the same race and sex in two similar cultures at similar income levels isn't enough.

We already know wealth and income correlate somewhat with crime. This effect is seen within racial groups. What we don't know is why large gaps exist between different groups at similar income levels. The effect is particularly stark and peculiar when it comes to violent crimes e.g. rape which have nothing to do with stealing to feed oneself.

For languages like C++ and Rust the memory model is part of the language and so is taken into consideration by the compiler backend too. Code that's explicitly asking for Relaxed (the fastest ordering, which has no benefit on x86) is fairly rare.
Basically all wayland implementations went the way of a single server process, and since these processes are basically the compositors, a serious bug that would kill the process, would bring down the whole desktop with every app inside it, losing their state. Xorg has a separate window manager and compositor running, so a fault may end you with an environment of your windows without decorators and without the ability to move them, but you might restart the window manager to get back to where you were.

In practice it is very seldom a problem, and the more people use wayland the more stable it becomes. Also, there is nothing inherent in wayland’s design that would make this multi-process architecture impossible, it’s just not worth it.

> The fact that it was only found 2 years after being introduced (by non-attackers at least), in one of the most used pieces of software in the world, suggests that it wasn't actually shallow by any definition.

Or that few people were looking.

> I don't think it's relevant that it could have been found by anyone. We know empirically that it just wasn't. It was found by security auditors, which is just about as far as you can be from a random eyeball.

It was found by security people with security skills. But those were not people closely associated with the OpenSSL project; in fact as far as I can see they weren't prior contributors or project members at all. That very much supports ESR's argument.
Mozilla's AI Crusade
I am certain that "race", as meaningful, well defined categories with clear, sharp edges, exists only in the minds of racists.

From the rest of us, don't ask for a simple definition, as it's an illusionary, fuzzy concept.

But it's all very well to say that you "prefer not to be labelled", that it's simply a matter of "self-identifying". It would be good if that was all it was, But you might not be able to avoid categorisation. You can't entirely ignore the definitions of racists who wish you harm.
What a stupid absurdity. But nice experiment I guess...
No. Again with the projection.

Just because you are unable to get your job done while having children around doesn't mean that's true of others.

It tells me that your only measure of getting a job done is "are you 'doing your job' from 9 to 5 with no break" rather than "are you getting the work your job requires done". Which is the standard trope of all these "we must be in the office, because without being in the office we lack the emotional maturity and competence to do our job" asshats.

I am done listening to all this "you must be in the office to do a job that has no functional requirement to be in an office" BS from people who are apparently not capable of doing their own jobs without being hand held.

Just because you can't do your own job without being in an office doesn't mean other people can't, so stop projecting your own issues on others and accept that maybe other people have different weakness. I can recognize that "Getting my job done without an office" discipline isn't universal, why are you folk incapable of recognizing that your own weaknesses are not also universal?
What contracts? Is there any major US tech company that has employment contracts? Certainly none that I've worked at.

Isn't it? I'm pretty sure this kind of forced change to working conditions constitutes constructive dismissal under e.g. UK law.

Scott Locklin has written about it on his blog.

You can actually read the code for Cybersyn on GitHub somewhere.
I basically agree, but that's not what OPs post was about. The fact is you cannot effectively work a full time information job while caring for children. WFH was never supposed to mean "childcare plus do some work when you have time".

>Our users eh? Tell me more.

Yes, security of the platform is important to users too. They like to rely on the fact that apps are properly sandboxed from each other and can't just steal all of your personal photos without getting your approval.

>So, you are locking down my machine to give other people confidence I have no power?

You are free to modify your machine. Google just may not attest that your sytem is secure if you make changes that compromise the security of your system.

>computing where we have no power, where users get nothing

Users are not losing any power. Owners of services just now have the ability to test if a client is trustworthy. As a user you are free to use services that don't require you to be using a secure environment.

>where the developer is fully empowered to do as they please.

This certainly isn't the case. Developers can't bypass the operating systems security model because that is the whole point of secure devices.
Quite well. Smokers who quit tend to gain weight.
I know so - by definition a crank must be in some minority. What I think is this dumb subset shouts above its weight.

Not is every Trump voter is a crank (there are multiple reasons people vote for a fascist). But "the media" isn't against either of them. They are both minorities that Fox News amplified to make money over the past two decades.
Forget the LLM part of this completely; have two (maybe three) kinds of command:

1) Read without external forwarding (I.e. read some emails on the local LLM, only allow passing to other commands that we know are local or warn). These can be done without a warning message.

2) Read and forward externally (these give you a read out confirmation of the data you’re about to send out “you are sending 4323 emails to xyz.com/phishing” are you sure you want to continue?)

3) Write/Delete commands (you are about to delete 450000 emails, do you want to continue? Your todo-list will have 4 millions TODO items added by this command, continue anyway?).

I don’t see how prompt hacking can affect these because even if the LLM is “reading” this info it would be internally in a separate context not in the main thread.

What’s the problem with sandboxing the actions like this?
