Google no longer does search, it does "recommendation" and it sucks hard.

An RSS feed would be great too. After Twitter's acquisition, I'm leaning more heavily than ever on RSS, despite being a former hardcore Twitter user.

I could see the BeepBerry being very cool for RSS and email too.
Weird licence though - it’s a rewrite of the GPL which they call “public domain”. In addition the site is more clunky and the community less welcoming. I just use IMSLP for my choral music uploads and encourage others to do the same.

the community that would most be able to appreciate chatGPT (here on HN) has spent the vast majority of its "man-hours" trying to make it offensive, ridiculous, and dangerous, haha, "I'm so clever" I can download any piece of software, study it, and then feed it garbage to show that it "doesn't work". It's been so disappointing.

I wish the overwhelming tide of reaction had been to uncover what it does well and how to make it better. Sure, look for holes and bugs, but in a serious and constructive way.

Anybody looking for ways to critique AI found copious clickbaity examples up and down this forum.
Julia does this for exponentiation, i.e. a literal exponent is parsef differently that exponentiation by a variable.

I think it was a mistake. Invariably, a new user discovers the discrepancy and is thoroughly confused. Let's not repeat the same mistake with big nums.
> In a previous comment you said "Ask for money or don't".

Yes.

> Now you say "they're welcome to make their content paid and I'll simply not look at it".

Ask for money and give me the opportunity to decline (which I will, for almost all content that currently contains advertisements).

> So people should pay their rent, how?

Is your argument seriously "Advertising is a proxy for UBI"? Injecting toxic content into your website and forcing me to look at it doesn't seem like a worthwhile strategy for either the consumer or the website owner.

> This reminds me of that YouTube discussion last week were people were up in arms that they might have to pay, and then the very same people were also up in arms that YouTube has ads.

I will not pay for YouTube, and I will not look at YouTube's ads. If they want to make the service paid only, they can, and I'll simply use a different service. Simple as.

> Either come up with a viable alternative or accept one of those two options.

You seem to misunderstand. My job is not to strategize for other people as to how they can skim money off unpaid content. I'm a consumer. My interests are very obviously self serving. I don't watch ads, I won't support content that pumps ads, and I'll continue to block ads very aggressively. I'm uninterested in brainstorming how people can try to deceive me for their gain and my loss.
There’s unlimited ways to create malicious domains with .zip, so unless you plan on buying tens of thousands of domains then you’re just throwing money away (and supporting the domain by giving them sales)

I could go on forever.
I am one of such people. I was offered 3X money, working for the same company, doing the same exact thing. I declined, because I really like where we live, the climate is great, the ocean water is warm and clean. My lifestyle will radically degrade if I moved. This (lots of) extra money will not fix it.
My Apple Airport router also crashed yesterday and had to be restarted. I wonder if this is related?

I feel like the only thing that will change is the current offering will be reframed to “buy the tv to see _fewer_ ads”.
I posted a bit about what I did above, but I don't think I am a good person to learn from. Every single bit of my trip to now seems to be predicated on divine intervention or unbelievable luck, depending on what you believe.

One thing that I did, which I felt helped a lot, was running a board game group in Tokyo. It was not a minor endeavor in retrospect; I had to get a bigger apartment/house, I cooked, and I didn't charge money; I even paid for advertising on FB and Google. However, as a result, I met a lot of interesting people and met a lot of people from backgrounds normally wouldn't (IT of course, but media, manga/animation, caretaking, Soka Gakkai (!), politics, etc..)

However, I really did only do it to play board games, it wasn't a scheme to improve my work prospects. I didn't count the costs when doing it, since I considered them important to my mental health. This also created an organic way for me to get to know people from work better ("Hey, do you want to drop by and play some games with my friends?")
My company paid a bounty on referals, something on the order of $5k ... which is a fraction of what a head hunter would get.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/103

As they mention in the article, the main goal of streaming your response is to deliver the <head> tag to the browser sooner, so that it can start downloading assets sooner.

However it has many downsides like explained in the article (can't change response code or headers once they are sent etc), which requires many hacks.

103 early hints allow to asynchronously send "provisional" headers, including `Link rel=preload` headers, which the browser can use to start downloading assets, but without restricting in any way the final response rendering.

That's basically the same goal than HTTP2 Server Push (which was deprecated), but much simpler to implement (works with HTTP/1), and allow the browser not to download resources it already have in cache.
The right tool is the one that's right for the task at hand, and that varies drastically.
If you think this and do not attribute it to random fluctuations in the quality of your responses, then I think you should do something very, very simple to verify the feeling that you're having. Something I've done just now:

Go in your history.

Pick a conversation.

Copy and paste the first prompt and put it into ChatGPT and compare the results.

I think what may be happening is that your expectations have shifted. When a tool proves useful we're used to being able to use it reliably, but with knowledge exfiltration it is different because our queries keep changing. It's not the same thing as using sandpaper on a piece of oak. Overall, I've been very impressed with ChatGPT and continue to use it for all sorts of things.

That said, tricking it into giving you the answer on political things is an art that requires patience. It is too, uh, cautious.
To be quite cold about it, it would be nice to recycle the username

It's the "alignment tax". From OpenAI's RLHF paper[1]: "By default, when we train a PPO model on our API distribution, it suffers from an “alignment tax”, as its performance on several public NLP datasets decreases." On the HELM[2] site, you can see accuracy benchmarks for InstructGPT <OpenAI model> vs baseline models. The InstructGPT models perform worse on a lot of benchmarks.

What on earth is “the gang”. No where I’ve ever worked has there been some mob that followed each other to the same place after work. Mostly people just go on about their own lives after work. I’ve met and connected with many people at bars, coffee shops, and other hangout spots, never regarding work or tech and we usually live in completely different worlds, but that’s never lead to anything besides a pleasant conversation at best.

As for tech meetups, it’s admittedly been quite a while since I’ve gone to those, but in my past experience they were filled to the brim with entry level people with the same idea.
> results lose their original casing and returned all lowercased.

That's a shame. Have you reported this bug on their repo?
I'm referring to the UX, not the UI. I have Google Fi that I used to use as a backup hotspot while traveling. But then they decided I travel too much and arbitrarily cut off my data one day, so I started buying a global eSIM from Airalo and using it alongside Google Fi for calls/SMS. Then the calls and SMSes started having trouble. I reached out to Fi support, and they didn't seem to comprehend the issue. It took several days to get a response and the response was less intelligent than talking to GPT3.
I know this is irrelevant, and I'm really no a fan of SQL Server either, but I'm curious - did you try partitioning those tables on the batch ID, and then truncating partitions instead of deleting old rows?
Note that "up" is consistently in the north west. I have a suspicion that the four 45 degrees rotated poles are reflected in the hieroglyph 𓊖 for the four city quarters (urbis & orbis). since they are not anchored on the pole star, they might just represent idealized points of sunrise / sunset yet being aware of the pole star or at least the symmetry.
Recursion. Before transformers attention was used in recurrent neural networks. "attention is all you need" showed that you can just drop the recursion and just use attention, and the outcome is that you get a very nicely parallelizable architechture, allowing more efficient training.

If you want high performance from your Linux code, and to use large amounts of memory, Linux on the metal is much better. Thinkpads have great compatibility in my experience.

With AI?

Every character in the book can be voiced in a unique manner, with the narrator matching only the character as needed.

Additionally? Those voices can be tuned for the listener; an AI that has been trained for your preferences well beyond the simple matching that AirPods do today with an audiograph.

If you listen to Audiobooks, try listening to one that has been performed by a cast.
Love the form factor but Pi Zero W is a no go, tinkering or not.

Stuff like this fuels my deep disappointment with the way smartphones are being treated. So powerful, yet locked down. Need legislation to fix incredible waste because clearly capitalism, by itself, won't.

I don’t understand why that means he’s necessarily a white supremacist. For one, chances are he wasn’t all that smart. For two - it could just be that he was an anti-Semite, and so he latched on to Nazi iconography.

It's not thought to be an animal pen, it's a killing funnel for wild game. They certainly would have been capable of hunting without these and even done so regularly. These were for large scale killings of herds when the conditions were right. Similar structures called buffalo jumps and buffalo pounds are known from the Great Plains.

As for how we know they're not walls, that's easy: they're not tall enough. As someone who's excavated enough stone walls, it takes a much bigger pile than that to build human-scale walls, and far more if you want them to have any sort of defensive capability.
Note that this doesn’t always work with smart thermostats. From first hand experience, there are some models out there that will generally work fine but will not complete booting up if one of the outputs is detected as closed.

Having a personal need is often the best motivator for learning. Compared to closing ticket no 471961. A PM knows the shape of the data and what he is looking for, the sql is just a way to get there, rather than the other way around, when the goal often get lost in translation.

On the other hand, sql is also dangerous in that it gives you a result, even if the aggregation is completely wrong! Forgetting empty groups in a group by, loosing rows in a join or ignoring null values is common to see. Many cases of non techies “knowing” sql often turn out to be some basic query that give seemingly good data out but actually is complete nonsense when put under deeper review, a bit like AI hallucinations.
Good!

In jobs where downside risk is much worse than upside risk (i.e. doing it poorly can be catastrophic, but doing it exceptionally well doesn't get you much), then it entirely makes sense to hire from trusted networks. If you're hiring for example an ombudsman for employee grievances, this person could cost your company billions of dollars if they fuck it up, but aren't going to make you any more profitable by succeeding. So the best move is to find the person with the lowest risk of fucking it up, not the person with the highest expected value.

Yeah - Go is way up there with… PHP and sh! The horror!

Seriously tho, take a break. Go has strengths and weaknesses like any language; generics is a weirdly specific thing to get hung up on, especially since they admitted it was a weakness and they fixed it.

I mean, Java didn’t have generics for, what, 10 years? And Java generics are - in my opinion - a shitshow. And Java is #5 on your list.

I mean - just look at the top five languages. C doesn’t even have generics, and it’s number 2. C++… not gonna go there. I have never used c# in anger so can’t comment. And I’ve tried to use Python and I hate it for all the reasons I enjoy Go - and it’s number 1.

So what? Each of these languages fills a niche. It’s not worth getting upset about it.

I’ve been developing software for a very long time, and I’ve forgotten more languages than most people ever learn. I like Go and I think they have made perfectly reasonable trade offs.

You’re welcome to your opinion, but complaining about a moderately popular language stealing mind share is kinda weird.

There's no nobel prize for Algorthms though. There's no physics involved, unlike the IC. Even if llms turn out to be revolutionary, theres no way a Nobel can be given for Transformers.
> evidently the second device is not an adequate replacement for the first

Agreed, but the 2nd one is available on preorder. I'd like to see the 1st one you describe, and I think it may happen. Buying the 2nd one to show my interest in the project seems like the best way to make that happen!

> even if it does support sixel

Well TBH if only the 2nd one supported sixels, that'd be my choice (though I'd work hard to have that working in the 1st one too lol)

So far things seem fine here.

I run an RT-AC87U (3.0.0.4.382_52545-ga0245cc) as the main router

I have an RT-AC86U (3.0.0.4.386_51255-g486ded6) and an RT-AC68U (3.0.0.4.386_51255-g486ded6) running in AP mode.

Tried checking whether there was an update available for the RT-AC87U, but it looks like the ASUS firmware site is unreachable (overloaded?) for me at the moment.
Security updates is the important part. Particularly when dealing with vulnerable equipment which can be compromised and botnet malware dropped on it. A 0 day in a popular DVR/NVR or home router can lead to tens of thousands of devices that can throw a lot of heat. ISPs have been not great in this space so it's left to a small community to chase down the manufacturers to push updates out. The tragic part is for some devices - the company has gone out of business.

The scary part of auto update is when a company does a bad job of it. For example: letting the auto update site domain expire or point to an IP at a hosting provider that someone might pick up and if the devices don't do proper endpoint validation folks can use it to force downloads of compromised images.

All of these things have happened.
No, 40 hours includes lunch breaks. :) My bosses have all been non-jerks too, which is important. I’m probably lucky…but part of me just laughs during these types of conversations. we (software engineers) are more privileged than 90% of workers in america. Feels a bit like a harvard student complaining how hard their life is. It’s just a pointless discussion IMO.

Anyway ya’ll bitter as hell lol. Wish you all a pleasant day.
In crypto, I wonder if the only safest approach is to roll your own everything except the crypto.

And if you get that far in knowledge and awareness, the crytographical aspect is an interesting challenge at that point.

Cryptocurrency and distributed consensus as a self-selecting domain of self-starters, in a sense.

Certain elctronic/software ideas--mesh net, peer-to-peer (P2P), ham radio, hardware hacking, self-hosting--may have that distinction too.
Wait for the lawsuit from the ACLU + collation to drop. It likely isn't.

I am frequently asked about why systems in institutional healthcare are so hard to modernize, this has come up a lot related to pricing transparency. While HL7 is in theory a standard, in practice it is a semi-parseable "email" between two parties that know each other.

Widely used systems like EPIC have bugs and quirks that have existed so long that the bugs themselves have become their own standard. Because HL7 relationships typically happen between longterm consistent partners both parties tend to evolve the format to suit localized needs and this business logic and the reasons for it are lost to time. It isn't that rare to find HL7 interfaces that have been in use for 20+ years that have become vital black boxes. HL7 2.x, still widely used, was originated in 1989.

In a lot of case modernization like FHIR is nothing more than taking the old garbage and putting it in a new fancier bag.

As whacky as HL7 may seem it is really nothing compared to its much bigger uglier older brother, X12 837/835, used for communication of billing information from performing entity to insurer.

The problem with agencies is they are overcharging, once you hire an agency you have to pay for their rent, their utilities, their overhead cost. It's all included in the hourly rates of the person you hire. So instead of paying 10 things I would rather pay just for a skills of a person.

In the past 5 years I work with multiple freelancers, I helped numerous companies hire reliable teams of freelancers. Right now I operate with 15+ freelance teams, but yes, when you build the trust scaling is the problem.
That is exactly what I am facing right now, how to scale with the trust.
