Really like the design of these tools so that you can easily pipe between them, this a good way to make things composable. Also really cool to see all of the other CLI tools folks have posted here, lots that I wasn't aware of.

I've been experimenting with CLI/LLM tools and found my favorite approach is to make the LLM constantly accessible in my shell. The way I do this is to add a transparent wrapper around whatever your shell is (bash,zsh,etc), send commands that start with capital letters to ChatGPT, and manage a history of local commands and GPT responses. This means you can ask questions about a command's output and autocomplete based on ChatGPT suggestions, etc.

You can see this approach here, I hope it proves useful to other folks!

Why and when should I use a serverless Postgresql instead of a postresql hosted on a server?
What I don't understand is why spammers think this is a good idea. It's not like the SF short story market is flush with cash and it will make them rich.

Personally, I think the spam should be flagged and sent to a chat bot that engages in a series of Lenny style interactions where it makes requests for information, promises eventual acceptance, and a series of increasingly bizarre rewrite requests (cut 100 words, expand your descriptions, more dialog, less dialog, make it from the dog's point of view, remove the dog character, sign this pre-contract information sheet, mail in 3 paper copies including a copy in braille for our blind copy editor).

Then publish a list of people who have been banned in this manner for public shaming. These are not aspiring writers looking for a break. They are scammers and spammers, and their electronic spam needs to be filtered out.
You can't crack a 256-bit key directly. But it's possible there is some mistake in the implementation, either leaking data or choosing keys badly. Or maybe there's just a mole.
>The idea that there is less corporate interest meedling because everyting is done in secret and people can't see nor control what's happening is so ridiculous I am at loss to how you could come to this conclusion.

It's not hard to think of reasons why doing it in secret would have less corporate meddling, eg. done in secret -> less pressure for negotiators to feel beholden to their supporters (eg. representatives to their donors). That said, there are plenty of reasons why doing it in secret is a bad idea (eg. it's undemocratic), but those are independent issues.
See Meta's recent VR commercials. They have a virtual mixer that they use in a "jam session" but it looks completely impractical to use.
We now boot so often kernels this is important.

My tv boots a kernel, Alexa's, laptops, cars etc.

And this might be not specifically critical but it's a sign of people just doing something less optimal
Other forms of economic damage that should be included:

* People going to shelters after air alarms in the middle of work day

* Tourism impacts

* Stress/mental health

* Opportunity cost of having personnel man missile defense instead of other stuff.
The earth as a whole is roughly a closed system, but "usable water" is not.

Most resource problems are not about the quantity of some thing changing as a percentage of earth's matter. Most resources are about density and composition.

If all of the (non-ice) freshwater on earth was suddenly dumped into the ocean, we'd have the same amount of overall water - but little to no drinkable water.

Likewise, we're not really creating new carbon by burning fossil fuels. We're moving and re-distributing it. Compared to being deep underground, the form we create by burning captures much more heat, causing many problems.
Does a skyscraper cause the whole island of Manhattan to sink, or just the land directly underneath it? If the latter, would we expect the result to be a bowl-like structure where skyscrapers have pushed the middle down but the edges remain as they were? (Unless the edges also have skyscrapers on them I guess).
Siri itself isn't AI based right? Just advanced search engine?

But I'd bet the farm they are working on Siri upgraded to AI, Alexa too

Then stuff is going to get weird when it's everywhere all the time on every device with voice recognition and speech and learning everything about everyone everywhere. That's dystopia scifi tv-series right there.
Mostly you need to be able to stash intermediate products computed in the forward phase so that you can access them in the backward phase. This requires more memory, more memory bandwidth, more transpose, and also, training usually operates at slightly higher precision (bf16 instead of int8 as one example).
The "how does it work" section doesn't make sense for macOS since there is no /proc there. How does it work on macOS?! I tested it and it works like a charm!
Loitering in front of a house just looks suspicious, and I don't think there's any law against it. The crime is if you come back to find litter, or they've messed with your house.

The problem woth this is that Palestinians kicked Israelis as well very early on many ears before Israel was created. Here is an example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Hebron_massacre
Yeah, that hardest part about being a middle manager is being stuck between two sets of humans who have oftentimes competing goals.

If one side of that is instead AI, you won't have that issue.
Why? I’m genuinely curious.

How is running GPT on Prem any different than other proprietary software like Oracle DBs or even Windows server.

When it gets leaked, they can use licences/copyright to prevent anyone from using it to compete with them.
Thanks. Presumably for use embedded in their hardware products. A genuine 8087 must mean Intel still makes them or there's a lot of old new stock around.
There are two kinds of VC funded startups - Those that give money to customers and those that give money to employees.
We go backwards as a society all the time. Central vacccums are objectively superior to the kind that most people use in their house today, but they were a "fad" of the 70s and 80s.

Americans are not putting bidet toilet seats into their homes despite how cheap and easy it is.

Just because something is better doesn't mean we will start using it.
If apple hosts it's one chatgpt internally it is neither.

In military/aerospace you're mostly paying for the paperwork, not anything physical.
Some games go smoothly, some don't (occasionally it plays impossible moves or plays after I've already won, although not often). Even when games go smoothly, it seems to play very poorly even when told to win and even when I told it to explain the optimal tic-tac-toe strategy in advance.

While it is pretty impressive that it can play at all, it does make me think its intelligence is a bit less generalized and/or "human" than some people think. I think any human that can play chess to the level GPT4 can (apparently pretty high) would easily be able to figure out tic-tac-toe, even without our equivalent of "training data."
On the subset of Linux distros that use systemd, rather. Thankfully, there are other options (https://elinux.org/Bootchart seems a decent overview)
We might end up doing that. A quicksort takes it from 2 ms down to 40 us though, and doing the sorting at build time would take a lot of linker magic.

(The SYSINITs are records in separate object files which are marked as going into a particular ELF section, so we don't actually have a complete list of them until we finish linking the kernel.)
wow I usually just use rsync with the progress flag but this looks way cooler. thanks!
I got mine a month ago; ordered oktober 2019. Since than tried the Pinephone and PPP as a daily driver. The Librem5...it's slower and clunkier than the Pinephone pro. Both last less than 24 hours on a charge(suspend and calls seem to be a difficult problem tot fix). In the end, these may be nice tinkering devices, but nowhere near anything that you can reliably use as a phone. I now use a Fairphone 4 + Calyxos, and am quite happy with it. Spotify instead of Ncspot, Bluetooth that works, calls that work, no more buggy mobile Firefox config, reliable maps, messaging clients that work in the background. Most importantly; a battery that last at least 2 days, with reliable fast-charging. Purism, Pine and the Opensource community around it are just too small; either they run out of cash and/or people burn out trying to make it happen. A whole different case, but Valve's steamdeck is IMO a good example that Linux-based products with a good value proposition are possible, under the right circumstances.
Though I agree that dandelions are awesome, your description of them also describes sow thistles perfectly. Not only are sow thistles often mistaken for dandelions (at least in their earlier growth stage), but they are woefully underrated as edible wild plants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonchus

In fact, I appreciate sow thistle even more than dandelion. People assume they must be bitter or even poisonous because they have white sap and can look kind of ugly in their late stage of growth, but if you pick them when they're tender they aren't bitter at all. If a person wasn't aware they were eating a common weed, they might assume they were eating a gourmet green from the produce section. I've used it to substitute spinach for creamed spinach, and though it doesn't taste like spinach, it was very tasty. But I usually just pick and eat the greens raw!

Specifically, I am referring to the "sow thistle" that is of the genus Sonchus. It is not a true thistle, and I think that there's other plants called "sow thistle" that aren't this one.

I've never tried using the roots and don't know whether they have properties similar to dandelion. Dandelions may have a leg up in terms of the root, but I'm not sure. Sow thistle is otherwise highly nutritious.

As someone who's been foraging for over a decade, I find it crazy how most foragers completely overlook this plant despite how it's both common and tasty in contrast to many of the more sought-after plants.

Here is a good article on identifying sow thistle which also includes a recipe:

Me three. The reason why those calculators last so long is their use of silicon on sapphire technology.

FYI the company that took over the HP Calculator business is releasing a "HP-15C Collector's Edition" that fixes the HP-15C Limited Edition's bugs, but it's a limited edition as well so if you want one you'd better preorder. It won't have the amazing battery life of the original, but it will be orders of magnitude faster, and reports say build quality is good, unlike newer HPs.

Interesting, Time Travel works the same as Oracle Flashback. Hope there aren't any patents to trip over.
> Tidiness reflects the care and love of the person responsible to his or her surroundings

This is a very very specific way of demonstrating care and responsibility to environment. It's extremely informed by culture and history and the ecological specifics.

Maybe you didn't intend it but the implication that choices other than tidiness are not loving and responsible is very gross.

> DuckDB is indeed a free columnar database system, but it is not entirely built on top of SQLite. It exposes the same front-end and uses components of SQLite (the shell and testing infrastructure), but the execution engine/storage code is new.
Ask HN: What makes a programming language “elegant”?
I have seen different individuals refer to the same programming language as elegant as well as inelegant.

According to you what makes a programming language "elegant"?

Can you give some examples?
There's the HP Prime
Yeah, I would narrow this down Germans complaining for allies purposefully bombing a civilian infra. But present day standars this is a war crime.
Rust's `sort_unstable` is available in `core` and does not require the standard library or the `alloc` crate, so, if my understanding is correct, even `no_std` programs like the kernel could use it?

https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/primitive.slice.html#method.s...

(It's interesting that the stable `sort`, by contrast, is only available in `std` because it uses an allocating timsort-variant.)
> Some are saying this is impossible, that near real time decryption of 256-bit encryption is not possible.

This is very possible -- provided the other side has the keys to decrypt.

Note that "decrypt" is different from "crack". All these radios would "decrypt" in real time (because the receiving radio has the decryption keys). Cracking (as in decrypting, when you do not yet have the key) should be impossible.

But perhaps there is some flaw in the implementation that allows for "decrypting" without needing the keys. Most encrypted systems fall not because the algorithm (the 256-bit part you talk about) itself is weak, but because some other aspect of the overall implementation has a flaw that allows one to obtain the "secrets" without attacking the encryption.

And... Keep in mind that this report, assuming it is credible, could be as simple as: "The other side has captured one of the radios and is using it to listen in on the comms".
It's probably this. If there is some other weakness in their system, I doubt anyone is allowed to tell you if we know. But Russia tends to exaggerate their capabilities to make people not trust their comms, too.

fwiw, I was a 17 alpha.
The technical term for "loss leader" usually refers to a place like a grocery store selling some necessity like milk at or below cost, because they know if you compare milk prices and decide to buy there, you'll get other things once you're in the store.

That's different from "sell a dollar for fifty cents until all competitors are dead".

There's also loss leader applied to things like consoles, where they lose money (at first) but make it back on the games.
Mostly just questionable hardware design and spoiled programmers who want to do too much in early boot. There is no technical reason why you couldn't have a modern desktop booting in a couple of milliseconds. It's a tradeoff between being fast and being compatible with the rest of the world.

At the end of the day, boot times are determined not by technical reasons but by how much the users are willing to tolerate. If the market demanded low boot times, the engineers would deliver.

But seriously, there is a router that I shall not name here that spends 10 seconds sleeping to avoid a race condition after initializing some irrelevant service. And of course the entire boot process depends on this service.
You. don't. say. Really?!? OMG, what an insight! What are they going to say next? That startups also use the good will of the internet to create their IP to then take it private as a way to get free labor? I'm shocked! And because this is also the internet, that was sarcasm.
I feel sorry. Hope enough HNers (like me) jump through the CAPTCHA hoops to report the false positive to Google.

That won't of course solve the bigger issue of Google feeling it's their responsibility to litter the Internet with trap wires, but not the responsibility to be accountable for those that get caught by them.

Good luck with this.
I've been also using gentoo almost exclusively over the last 20 years. But I had to move to fedora and nixos recently, when I noticed that building stuff like chromium takes too long on my laptops. What would have saved the day for me, is if it were possible to pre-build / cross compile the packages on a different machine, and use binary packages on my laptops. But no luck there. NixOS would be quite OKl, but is systemd based.
While USE is the main selling point of gentoo, it would be just great, if there would be an easy to setup build server, that could pre-build the packages for a given set of USE configs, so I could just update in seconds instead od hours.
The content restrictions seem overly restrictive.

Reminds me of the game Capitalism[0] where the player was incentivized to achieve monopoly in markets by selling below-cost, subsidized by the other parts of the business. Vertical integration was also highly encouraged.

That will depend very much on the individual. Someone who were beaten by their parents won’t suddenly turn around and love them when they themselves get children.
Ask HN: Will AI result in mass silo-ing of new knowledge?
Over breakfast this morning I was thinking that training on publicly available knowledge is the backbone of AI models.

A plethora of posts, articles and comments lament how the back breaking work which all of the new models were built upon is devalues all of that work by making it available to the masses with a simple chat prompt...

My gut feeling is that the natural consequence of this for individuals and organizations that build expert knowledge in various domains will be to avoid sharing knowledge, code and general information at all costs...

Is this the end of the "open" era?
I could see that for large R&D projects or something, but I have trouble seeing how that’s related to the penal system.

Recidivism data really lags spending, but you can scale up small scale tests programs.

I've been using ChatGPT to help me learn Golang. It has been an amazing learning tool. Almost like having a bespoke personal StackOverflow answering my exact questions. Is it right 100% of the time, no. Could it build my project autonomously, most definitely not. Has it accelerated my learning of Golang, yes.

AI is a tool (at least for now). And like many tools, when used proficiently, it can boost your productivity and therefore make you better, not redundant at your job.
That's a fairly accurate take imo, as systems like middle management ultimately operate based on what incentives you feed them over time.

Middle management is hired by and incentivized by the structures the top management installs (from HR to pay to morality & culture).

If your middle management sucks, it's because your top management are setting priorities that drive that outcome.
Ok that's a step too far! Central vacuums are definitely the inferior choice. The half-mile of hose you have to drag around, keep unplugging and replugging to different pneumatic outlets, and store is prohibitively troublesome. Folks I know who had such a system in the house they bought, immediately went out and bought a 'regular' vacuum.
From Israel side this is usually an attempt at a pinpointed strike on terrorist infra. Not clear which part is a collective retaliation
I still find that if I want a board that “just works” a Raspberry Pi is an easier option. Whilst the manual for the Broadcom SoC is incomplete the documentation and software support for other SoCs is even more variable.

I really hope the likes of the VisionFive SBC see decent adoption. Their reference manual seems good - but I haven’t really played around with the board all that much.

Probably... Haven't witnessed or heard of any pedestrian/car accidents in my home town to facilitate such a change.

On the other hand, biking would be definitely less pleasurable and more dangerous for smaller kids now. Even as adult I don't enjoy biking with many cars around.
How to Install LXD on Debian 11 Linux
Doesn't matter if they're poor. Teens who vandalize stuff are probably not poor either.
I'm sure it's nearly impossible, but this needs to be integrated with cp, mv and dd. Otherwise, usage will be a fraction of a percent.

I SSH into many many different machines (desktops, routers, servers, IoT devices etc..), and unless something is in the default install of RHEL, Debian, Arch etc..,I tend to not rely on it, as my muscle memory will cause me problems.
This isn't all that surprising; for all the tsuris regarding 230, the statute and the intent behind it seem quite clear; the drama is that opponents of big tech companies don't like the statute, not that there's a real claim that it's been misinterpreted. It's not the court's job to fix that; that job belongs to Congress.
I used to be an admirer if not exactly a stan. I was an optimist that pushing FSD would result in safer roads. I liked the cheeky touches like a virtual whoopie cushion. Many tech bros are small-l libertarian without being asses about it. Who doesn't want regulation to be simple and government to be non-interventionist where there is no benefit?

Russia started a land war in Europe and Elon is an appeaser from the start. Not cool. The magnitude of Russia's aggression, and the extent to which it would have grown if appeased threatened to create a global conflict.

From there, Elon went on a weird red pill journey, boosting racists and outright Nazis with replies on Twitter that made him impossible to excuse.

The CIA is not the source of Elon's problems. He's got a screw loose.
Its scary because it replaces the thinking jobs, which are the well-paying ones. It hits home to folks who have been lucky to survive the previous societal purges of employment.
I don’t know … my company (whose revenue is on the same order of magnitude as Apple’s, though granted we’re not in the tech industry) keeps absolutely everything on OneDrive.
In somewhat related news, HP is releasing reedition of HP-15C this summer.
It’s the sort of feature that is fairly useless unless it gains very widespread adoption, and also often quite nebulous about how it should be used. My feeling is also that the sorts of people most likely to be willing to implement this kind of thing unprompted are likely to be producing content that can benefit from such stuff less than average.

Also, to repeat, there have been specs for this kind of thing in the past. They haven’t gone anywhere despite significant interest and investment. Granted, some were probably hampered by being unnecessarily complicated, but basically no one used them. (Examples: PICS, in in a couple of slightly different veins but conceptually similar, Schema.org’s contentRating property, and P3P.)
Oh this is fun! It reminds me of a Bash script i wrote years ago that does something very similiar[1].

Yeah yeah we're all going to die...

The question is, we know AI is going to do take over doing work, how will that change the system when like 80% of people have no means of earning their income.
How will those people abusing those machines earn theirs and who will generate input for those machines.
Will those machines be able to solve genuinely new problems?
Their knowledge comes from whqt people created.
When people are no longer creating because they can't afford to live, who will feed the machines?
And who will those few abusing those machines sell their machine generated products to?

It will lead to a revolution and it will be bloody. Already the 99% are discontent and it's brewing.
With the artificial price increases for the cost of living more will fall into social security.
AI replacing workers means the bloat in the IT sector will be reduced and a lot of unemployed people on social security will be left.
With steadily less money being available for the 99% they will either turn on themselves or, more likely cut the head off the 1% boiling their water steadily but surely.
There will always be people trying to defend their salve masters, if we learned anything from WW2 and even the invasions on Iraq and Afghanistan, it's people suck and want someone they can feel superior to.

Add to that the climate disaster...
Americans use the weirdest units...
