> The percentages thing was what made me realise this. When I talk to highly intelligent people, I use percentages to estimate probabilities. When I talk to typical people in a normal workplace setting, I dumb it down a bit and avoid using numbers. I've noticed that average people don't like percentages and it confuses and even angers them.

10% of people are comfortable with comments phrased as my comment here is, using percentages as a quick shorthand for communicating gut intuitions and suspicions about complex subjects. When on similar intellectual footing as the interlocutor, they can easy distinguish numbers invented on the spot to communicate intuitions from serious claims about the data. Nobody in this 10% would make the mistake of thinking that I assert 10% to be the real number. 10% is too round and generic, if I claimed 9.7% then things would be different but "10%" obviously isn't meant to be taken literally.

90% of people balk at this imprecise rhetorical use percentages because they're pretty sure the person doing it is trying to pull a fast one, fabricating data out of nothing to make themself sound authoritative.
I wonder if printers do the same thing, since they all automatically update now to stop people from using generic toner.
I'm running it on Serge with 51 GB of RAM. I don't think it requires any GPU memory (llama.cpp runs on the CPU), I have a RTX 2060 in the system I'm running it on. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I've used it a lot for making tweaks to react components and one change that I've noticed is that when I used to paste in entire component files and ask for modifications it would reply back to me with the entire file with tweaks and edits. Now it seems to only reply with the tweaked parts and comments in this form

// Your previous code here

foo(bar) // added foo() call here to do xyz

If I were to speculate I would say that this would reduce the amount of work it has to do in that it needs to generate less content and the replies are shorter but I feel like this has a slightly performance loss. I'm not sure exactly why there's a performance loss but I could see it being the case where generating the entire file with specific line edits could allow for better predictions on the code / file versus trying to only reply with the changes needed. I wonder if this is a tweak in the prompt or if the model itself is different.
AWS released Aurora I/O-Optimized that for a higher storage cost no longer charges for I/O (quoted 40% savings).

Is such a mode being considered for Neon? If not, will there be future adjustments in pricing?
Of course you need identity (FoAz uses JWTs from authN solutions - can also be your VM (if it produces a JWT as it's magic link process)) , but Authorization is another step on top.

e.g. You are Dave@customer.io (or some other verified identity), I know you, but how many SMS messages should I allow you to send via Vonage or Twilio when you click the button in the app? Managing that quota is an example of authorization.
There's another fairly obvious grain of truth in the overall silly protest: ULEZ and CAZ mostly force poor people to spend money on newer cars.

Chinese are extremely risk averse. They will eventually invade Taiwan but only when the odds are extremely in their favor. The Russian invasion of Ukraine showed them that they need to prepare better. I wouldn't be surprised if their economy collapses/stagnates before this day even comes.
Famously, a Facebook engineer declare on stage that MVC doesn't scale. Later it turned out that she was talking about one specific implementation of MVC that used 2-way data binding. She assumed that 2-way data binding is part and parcel of MVC, because that's all she had seen.

No offense but you sort of prove the parent’s point. People who work on computers professionally but don’t use open source because “it’s too complicated to get going” are making an error. Adobe’s UX being addictive is the point.

Strange that you think I have a chip on my shoulder. I'm far from having a chip on my shoulder, actually. I enjoy writing software and my career is good (despite my criticisms of the field). I'm simply pushing back on the idea that software developers need to be passionate, and am pointing out that the word "passion" can be used against developers. When you hear the word "passion" or any positive sounding word or phrase emitted from the mouth of a business, you have to remember that a business has incentives that are not necessarily in the favor of the individual.

> many projects need people who actually care about improving the product performance

I object to the idea that this requires passion. A person who is not passionate can still be competent at their work and solve problems like product performance. It just doesn't mean that they're going to care as much about things that satisfy developers but don't actually improve the end product, like toolchains, design patterns, the latest and greatest frameworks and transpilers, the "correct" way to do OOP, etc.

> people tend to be happier when they get more done with less effort.

That is true, but it doesn't necessarily follow that a team of passionate developers equates to less development effort. It certainly can, but it's not a guarantee. If you get people who are so passionate that they must die on every hill when it comes to a the team not agreeing over something as simple as tabs-vs-spaces (just an example), that can result in more effort that an individual developer needs to make in order for their code to be approved. Developers who care to the point that every rule needs to be carried out to a tee, even when it sacrifices code clarity and developer happiness, can make everyone including themselves miserable.

That's the point I was attempting to make, not that developers should work hard a few years and then kick back and stop caring at all, like a certain other individual in this thread (not you btw) believes.

> maybe management is your calling?

Good heavens, no. lol But the suggestion is appreciated.
The problem with the proxy is that to be efficient, I believe the proxy will need to store all IMAP messages in an indexed form on the proxy-side.

The problem with IMAP is that some requests are not possible efficiently, and the real breakthrough of JMAP is that those requests are now possible and clients are now allowed to be fast. For that though, the server-side JMAP needs to access the indexed mail store directly.
The Norton Guides were good in their time, too. IIRC, Turbo C, 8086 assembly(?), Clipper, etc. were supported. It was a TSR too, so you could pop it up from any another app by a hotkey.

> Back then perhaps there was not enough context to know that Debian could be trusted.

You are implying that it is clear-cut that Debian is trustworthy here. In practice Debian did, and continues to do, heavy patching of packages to their needs, sometimes contrary to upstreams wishes. Iirc one of the issues here was the bug reports that Mozilla received that were in reality Debian-specific
That doesn't change the fact that they're separate but related concerns. Authentication is enforcing that someone is who they say they are, and authorisation is checking that that person is allowed to access a secure resource. Looks like FoAz just solves the authorisation problem, allowing you to use another authentication provider.
> Those days are gone! Everyone imports everything today without any discerning eye.

That's even considered a feature today! If you don't have a language package manager that allows you to transparently import tons of stuff you've never heard of, then the language is considered crap.
For a lot of open source frameworks and libraries it's not a financial decision. We need them for what we're doing and we're happy to share them with others. If we're lucky then we'll get some help from others on them.

Some libraries that provide an interface to a commercial system will be given away free by the company to make it easier to get people using the system. Once they're using it they can then be converted into a regular income.

The API though? That's mostly used by technical people and has the capability (supposedly) of querying different model versions, including the original GPT4 public release.
Actually, the OpenBSD people came up with "signify" which handles this more elegantly.

FTP is still advertised for download of this OS, but any tampering or otherwise corrupted files will not pass a signature test when signify is invoked.

The keys are rotated for every release, the next expected key is always included in the current OpenBSD release.

This system would be safe to fetch sensitive content over cleartext http.

EDIT: Here is a paper on signify:

"You can build an account where you mix and match the plan level to each user. For example, you can build a Fastmail Family by adding additional Standard and Basic plans for adults and children."
- https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/

Only one of your accounts needs to be Standard tier ($50/y) to allow up to 100 custom domains. The other 5 accounts can be Basic tier ($30/y) and still use as many custom domains as you give them access to. Total undiscounted cost for your family would be $200/y.

Use the 25% 1Password discount to reduce your total to $150/y. You have the option to extend that 25% discount up to 3yrs and receive an additional discount for paying in advance. Your total for your first 3 years would be $420, then $560 for each 3 years thereafter.

Alternatively, you could consider allowing all your family members use the same Standard account ($105 for the first 3yrs) but with multiple email addresses. Use labels to surface each address for the relevant family member.

In my case, I created a family@surname address for any family business, and a name@surname address for each family member. Each family member has set their Fastmail app to focus on their own address. Yes, technically, they can see each other's email, but it hasn't been a problem. I presume they use throwaway gmail accounts for stuff they want to keep totally private.

We share a specific custom domain for our masked emails and love that feature, especially the 1Password integration although that has some rough edges.
You've used the term "Global North" 10 times in multiple comments here. It's a piece of academic jargon that is not widely used in colloquial language, and paints multiple entities in a very broad, over-generalized brush in an effort to establish a moral hierarchy which is unhelpful for actually solving a problem. I think this is why you are getting downvoted.
As long as real Mac hardware is anywhere in the stack, you are compliant.
I mean, that's kind of what I'm saying. Is that the effect benefits part of an economy, and hurts others. It's not a universal benefit. I mean the automobile benefitted many parts of the economy, but killed the buggy whip maker. You need to look at the totality and you will definitely be hurting and pissing off some people.
Sorry none of this makes any sense to me. You can't have cyclical data binding when you only have 1-way data binding. MVC is absolutely perfect for stateful use cases. In fact, it is React that suffers a total breakdown in stateful use cases. If your component is stateful and you need to update props then the recommendation is to set and change a key, which replaces the component with a new instance. This of course eliminates any benefit that React provides.
The LLM _is_ the product. Everything else in the stack is window dressing.

I don’t think OpenAI’s contribution should be so understated- they built a technology that was considered science fiction just a few years ago. They deserve all the credit for the “AI”.

user experience of setting up and leveraging open source is a challenge to wider adoption.

I expect most of us (hackers) have tried these tools, but not your average user. When I see comments like OP, it's coming from the hacker perspective imo.

The user is not making an error, the error is assuming everyone should be a hacker.
There are a lot of people who are entirely okay with the censorship but think it should be done in a different layer than the main LLM itself, as not to hurt the cognitive performance. Alignment is just fine-tuning... any type of fine tuning is possible to teach unwanted skills, and/or catastrophically forget previously learned skills. That is likely what is going on here, from what I can tell from the reading i've done into it.

Most are arguing for a specific "censorship" model on the input/output of the main LLM.
The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done (2020)
I originally thought this would be a story about query optimizers and their stupidity in the face of the banal. But it was infinitely better! I’ve never had the chance to decrypt tls with wireshark so bookmarking for future reference.

I’m a little surprised at the statement that ~10%+ performance on a transport protocol isn’t worth it. 1 million frames doesn’t seem like that much, and some workloads see these things scaled out as front end servers mostly managing stuff like websockets / JSON / utf nonsense. I’d argue if it’s deep in the kernel of execution and well abstracted in the higher level logic a cryptic bit fiddle with a comment, even perhaps with it’s more common equivalent in the comment, might be worth while.

That leads me to the ultimate question: what was the Pokémon table used for?
Operative word: "could".
AGI will be a computer program, unless you're imagining some entirely non-computer based form of artificial intelligence. And it will therefore obey the rules of normal computer programs, like vulnerability to SIGKILL.

Yes, you can assert that an AGI would be a superhuman level hacker and so no rules would apply. It gets back to the same place all discussions about AGI risk get to - a religious argument that the entity in question would be omniscient and omnipotent therefore it can do anything. Not interested in such discussions, they lead nowhere.

Terrorists aren't programs or even a well defined group, so I don't see the analogy.

It took a long time. I think I could have launched about a year sooner, but wanted everything to be perfect, which seems a bit ridiculous now. I think it was the realisation that all the work would sort of be for nothing unless I launched it - that made me actually do it.

The most useful initial feedback was from a reddit group (r/testflight), but friends and family gave very helpful feedback too. I just tried to show anyone I could, it was also very helpful to watch how people use it without guiding them. The most useful feedback will feel brutal initially.

After launch, I did a ShowHN on here, which after posting a few times eventually picked up. Press was tricky initially, but after a lot of persistence, there were a few articles too. I had no idea how much work promoting something would be.

I wasn't sure in this case; I figured I'd clarify in case my use of "super bowl jerseys" rather than "super bowl winner's jerseys" left too much room for confusion.

Phind co-founder here. The way we deployed GPT-4 previously was costing thousands of dollars per day and not sustainable. We’re bringing back a dedicated GPT-4 mode for those with accounts this week. And our goal is for the Phind model to be better than GPT-4 for technical questions.
For what it's worth, "the deps being the things sent to the query" is fundamentally correct. What were you doing wrong before and what are you doing now? There are alternatives to making queries with useEffect which can result in a better user experience. Were you alluding to those?

One of the sources of confusion I see the most around effects is that people still think of them in terms of components mounting and unmounting. However, effects only care about running, cleaning up, and maybe needing to run again. I can't think of a case when they'd need to know about the component's mount/unmount behavior.

For effects, the main things to consider are:

• Can this effect be fired unconditionally, and if not, what could change in the system to make its result inconsistent/outdated with the new state of the system?

• What cleanup does this effect need?
"Better" is a matter of opinion, but it certainly isn't a "margin note". Rarbg was one of the most popular torrent sites in the world. Torrent Freak puts it as #4 most popular in the world, ahead of The Pirate Bay, though I am not sure of their methodology.

https://torrentfreak.com/top-torrent-sites/

Of those most popular sites, I think it was by far the best. It offered consistently good encodes, with about the best achievable quality for a given file size, in a variety of formats and resolutions. Its files were well-organized with a user-friendly browser and a wealth of metadata. It was possible to quickly find a good version of anything not too obscure.

Compare to TPB, where searches just vomit a page of often-mislabeled files the user must comb through manually. Compare to YIFY/YTS, which uploads bitrate-starved "HD" schlock that looks worse than rarbg's 480p.

I don't have a direct answer, but the "Acquired" podcast did a two-part series on Nvidia in 2022Q1, it's a good/deep answer to why they are the way they are.

In short, Jensen has an almost Elon-like appetite for "bet the company" tier risk. He's never been comfortable with a plateau, and is always looking for the next mountain to jump to, before the plate tectonics of the industry come around to form it.

There aren't a lot of CEOs and companies that oversee a company or industry-transforming shift more than once, he's definitely in that camp.

But that's a gross oversimplification, the story is more interesting. Check it out!
This is just like, my opinion, man but I think titles are just food for our egos. I think developers should focus on two things: 1) doing work that you enjoy. 2) take a good long hard honest look at yourself and determine your value, then find an employer that agrees.

The only advice from the article I liked was:

> Even if it's just "hey, can I come sit in on that meeting?" Take notes for yourself of anything you're unfamiliar with and ask about those things later.

I love sitting in on meetings just to take notes. Recently some Sr Developers and our DBA set up a weekly meeting to discuss overhauling our database schema and I asked to sit in. Even though most of what I heard aligned with what I already knew I still got a lot of value in just listening to other people's opinions. The DBA was a fountain of knowledge when it came to the nuances of using SQL Server.
For me, my wife and childcare look after the kids, but you cant just block-out the shouts and noise and screaming and crying.

So e.g. blood-curdling scream from your kid and then silence. Or lots of laughing and running about and then a huge crash and bang followed by silence as something is clearly falling over.

What do you do? Just shrug and ignore it because there is someone else down there? Of course you cant. 99.9% of the time its all fine, but you can't just turn off that sensation of needing to keep half-a-brain listening for something major happening. The divided attention is a killer for productivity.

Out-of-sight-out-of-mind at the office is an absolute godsend. Day care is very, very expensive in the UK (especially if you earn over £100K) so financially it is often not viable to send them to daycare for 5 full days a week (this will often cost £2-3,000 a month in London, often more than a mortgage or rental costs)[1]

1 - personal experience, the only data I could find is UK average of £15K a year (https://www.daynurseries.co.uk/advice/childcare-costs-how-mu...) but that is UK average, not London. For comparison the UK average house price is £285K, but in London it is £742k. I suspect the average figures include a lot of people who earn under 100K and so get some aspect of free care - any tech worker will be earning more than this so gets zero help.
From an economic standpoint, this makes sense. If an artist is bringing in 4k a month, then spending 40 a month for software maintenance and updates is rounding error. This also opens up the third part market to sell plugins if open source doesn’t work for them. All in all this is win win for everyone and more options equates to more freedom.
That kind of service is starting to be provided. As a separate network, mostly for office buildings. Not having to build or maintain AC can be cheaper and waste heat can be centrally moved to heating or even storage. As during summer you still need quite hot water from faucets.
That is a cute quote, but people still need to be held accountable for compromising the ability of millions of devices to update firmware securely. Stupidity or malice, the end result is the same. Having said that, hopefully someone will investigate whether or not there was ill intent.
