Apollo charges a fat subscription for their app so the reality is that they’re just mad they’re losing their income.

The numbers they posted suggest they could still easily be in profit with these charges, they just wouldn’t be making 20m profit.
A Reddit client. It’s what the headline of TFA is referring to.
It's pretty ironic to see someone using GPT for translation, when the same underlying transformer architecture has already been for actual machine translation models. From what I remember, machine translation was the original intended use of the transformer design.
It looks similar to LZSSE. We tried it in ClickHouse, but then removed it:

https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/24424

Reasons:
- the decompression speed is slightly better than for lz4, but the compression speed is low;
- the code was non-perfect, and the fuzzer has found issues.

LZSSE library was abandoned five years ago, but they have great blog posts to read: https://github.com/ConorStokes/LZSSE

Iguana looks promising, but AVX-512 requirement is too restrictive. We need something to work both on x86 and ARM. Also, integrating Go assembly into other software is not easy. And A-GPL license makes it incompatible.
Why not just using PHP?

Came across it on HN but I have not read it though.
I don't entirely disagree, though what I got from the video is that it's generating linguistic inconsistencies, i. e. literal translation stitched together and sentences that don't make sense, which is surprising for a language model. The addition of words that aren't in the English I can understand. Otoh, does chatgpt represent itself as know Hebrew?
Odd. I paid £5.5k for a 4kW array several years ago, I'd have assumed it was cheaper now. Possibly you hit a "breakpoint" where the non-unit cost got a lot bigger. Maybe permitting? I chose 4kW because that was the largest size that didn't require extra paperwork.
I heard about LISP in 2014. Back then I worked in finance and it looked so similar to spreadsheets.
I’m working on a simple website generator for developers and content creators.

I’ve already included everything a user would want for a complete website, including a robots.txt, sitemaps, perfect Lighthouse seo score, rich snippets, and a ton of other stuff.

Should I consider adding an auto generated security.txt file along side the robots.txt file for users?

Do you’all think a security.txt file is something users would want in 2023? Or would it look stupid and confusing?

If we are not going to regulate these in a manner similar to pharma, then we need robust liability framework that would pierce the corporate veil for executives and large equity owners, as well as requiring extensive lability insurance.

That's a real good question. I always supposed their name was out before smartphones (which are definitely more "featured") existed.
Very good point. I feel this is a moment for everything like AlphaGo was to game Go, we’re at the moment right before beating the grandmasters. Humans still have some glimpses of being better computers to some very specific tasks but not for long.
Considering that Hebrew is very different from Latin languages and there isn't as much training data for it (since relatively few speakers). I'd say it did a decent enough job. Possibly better than Google Translate.

Xcode used to have native support for this, long ago. And it had mdns support too!
I really don't get that. I would think it's simple enough for the CEO to face criminal charges, unless they can clearly show which other individual(s) are responsible, or very clearly demonstrate there was some special and exceptional circumstances that necessitated the exception.

Instead we call companies people and let them wash things away with money. No one faces guilt, maybe a CEO 'steps down' to spend more time with family until the anti-competitive clause finished and they pop up somewhere else.

Electricity has got more expensive lately: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1267500/eu-monthly-whole...

People underestimate how cheap natural gas used to be; as a byproduct of oil drilling it can be nearly free, and in some place is just flared because it was too cheap to bother capturing. That all changed when the Russians attacked.
Funny thing is that we have been proven wrong with that for centuries now... Maybe the powers just don't want to learn.
And CSS will almost always be backwards-compatible. If you want to keep using older CSS, that should be allowed.
I was reading the uprising against the pricing, was expecting who knows what, these people are ridiculous to say the least, pitiful at average, you get paid who knows how much, but then 30dollars to do your job quicker are a nono, from a indie developer? Remembers me of the uprising of millions-dollars companies against docker, some people have no shame
Yeah, I’m always skeptical of “it was better in the old days” type arguments (even though I recognize the aesthetic appeal of analog).

People make similar claims about cars, but old cars broke down all the time and new ones are basically appliances that “just work” without the driver needing to know anything. Similar for computers to smart phones (though obviously both digital in that transition)
I used dwl; it has no animations, and hard to get simpler than that.
I can tell you first hand that lots of stuff in FAANG data centers is running non containerized in baremetal or on VMs.
Feels like normal sized phones like iPhone Mini or SE 1st Gen are in advantage?
Interesting idea. I went and got chatGPT4 to help me do some back of napkin math and it looks like hydrogen won't be able to compete with coal which is probably between $50-$100 per MWh for Poland. Even assuming the electricity (the biggest cost factor in electrolysis) is free through some carbon credit initiative, the cost of producing 1 MWh of fuel cells is still over $100 and the cost of converting that back to electricity is $17. The cost of shipping is hard to estimate but could potentially be quite small - $1 per MWh.

Now if we could somehow raise the price of coal to account for its externalities.. by stipulating minimum taxes on coal and imposing tariffs on any countries that don't implement those... then we might have a chance.

But I think wind energy (producing or importing) is probably Poland's best bet for getting off of coal.
In the last month, Ford introduced and new Ranger and Toyota introduced a new Tacoma. Any of those two trucks on dealer lots right now are are old, outdated, leftovers that you might be willing to take off their hands with a large enough discount ;)

Also, look at out of state dealers. Not sure where you live, but huge markups aren’t a thing anymore, everywhere. A one-way plane ticket in the US isn’t expensive compared to huge markups.
Well, Capitalism sounds like a fun game [0]:

> Tom Kosnik, the professor who taught with Capitalism at Harvard and Stanford who has since gone on to become a venture capitalist, praised the game for its high level of accuracy and difficulty, but he also noticed that some students had ethical hangups about making money from cigarettes and alcohol after realizing “how profitable they are.”3 After all, if it makes money, why wouldn’t you do it?

> The trick of Capitalism is that it makes you think like a capitalist. Within the mountains of jargon and earnings reports, it lures you into the insatiable mindset you’d need in order to thrive in business and grind your competitors into dust.

are you in the right job? company? field? career?

how do you feel about your discipline? do you multitask accidentally?

if you don’t want to have to decide to cut corners, you want someone deciding for you. that may be a different role hierarchy than you are in.

We have an event two or three times a year which needs a lot of power at a remote site. We get in a hydrogen generator, the hydrogen is produced by renewable energy.

To me that feel more suitable for areas like building sites etc.

I'm not that old, but I remember seeing bad sector lists as stickers on some hard disks.

I'm not sure if that ever went away, though... I think the IDE firmware in more modern hard disks knew how to redirect bad sectors to good sectors, so the end user never even noticed.
To clarify the 26 m³, that is the gasoline volume with the same energy content as the proposed ship. Tank truck capacities seem to be in the range from 10 m³ for small ones to semi-trailers with 40 m³.
Even under that assumption, the interaction of chemistry and biology is tricky (even drugs that have a well-established track record of being safe still have negative side effects for some people). Even moreso when you just let the chemical loose into the world rather than administering it in a controlled scenario like prescription pharmaceuticals.
Yes, it's insane, it's the rise of sexual authoritarianism or even fascism. We scare the whole population into fearing that there's predators everywhere, and punish people for minor transgressions or trifles, ruining their lives. Meanwhile these minor transgressions increase the figures and are used to justify even more draconian measures. A vicious circle.
Did you write "I found critical vulnerability on your website, how much is your bounty, can you send PayPal payment?"

If it wasn't something close to that, then no, it wouldn't be filtered. If it wasn't obvious, the patterns are trivial, but not "check those two words" level of trivial. You need to apply common sense and adjust for your environment.
> or will build nukes anyway for this purpose, at which point the renewables will have been a waste of money and time.

If you decide to build a nuclear plant today, it might be finished by the time renewables deployed today have reached the end of their design lives.

(People will no doubt answer that it can be done quickly, and I urge those people to get on down to Hinkley Point C with a shovel to help them finish the thing)
>I've just checked the UK's GDS advice and they have it as a "should":

.nl? - I'll let you guys decide.
It will never happen. There's a long long list of companies who are guilty of trying to cover up harms they know exist in their products and the result is basically mass poisonings committed by serial killers, but they never face any meaningful justice. At most they'll have to surrender a tiny amount of the vast fortune they made off of death and human suffering, and almost none of that will ever reach an actual victim.

If we had any means whatsoever to change that situation it would have been done ages ago because it isn't as if the piles of dead bodies and deformed infants weren't enough to enrage people. Recently the Sacklers got away with it too and people are rightly pissed about it, but they're also totally powerless which is why it will happen again and again and again.
I’d prefer a bug that crashes a program than one that quietly inserts wrong data and keeps going.
There are always bugs in silicon, just like there are bugs in software. They mostly show up under "a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing conditions". There are 40 documented erratas on EPYC 7002s alone; there are 35 in the 13gen Intel CPUs, including, curiously, RPL038, "Processor Exiting Package C6 or C8 May Hang". Mobile ARM chip manufacturers are notoriously bad at documenting their bugs, so who knows how many they have.

This one is interesting because its preconditions are so trivial, and it will affect many more people than usual.
Right. Disregard all that.
I just heard the following:

I'm going to optimistically believe that this is a joke and that you already know that specific image exists in A1111 and is returned whenever the NSFW checker is trigger (and possible some other sanity check errors depending on the version).

Now, this wasn't the A1111 implementation (it was the original ldm implementation), but it seems likely that A1111 inherited it from there.
The city of Chicago almost 2000 years later did the exact same.
Yes, loved it. They destroyed it. Each of these firms took something and destroyed it, or if not destroyed it, replatformed onto a different ethos (see Brian Acton and WhatsApp, and him walking away from a final billion dollar check).

I think it's fair for the authors of these tools to do well. I encourage creators to monetize when they can. Just get the check up front so you can go create the next thing, because no matter what the acquirer says, you are unlikely to remain aligned.
Just showed the video to my wife who is also a translator (though usually FROM Hebrew TO English rather than the other way around) and she also was not very impressed with how robotic the chatGPT translation was. This is the kind of translation quality you could already get out of Google Translate and the like.

With regards to the chess-playing dog analogy: it is anecdotal evidence but certainly in the company I've been contracting for they've been very excited about translating the website in 24 different languages with chatGPT alone. This is based on the CTO playing around with chatGPT translations for 30 minutes and thinking they were "quite OK". IMO this would be like entering the dog into a serious chess competition and then taking out a loan to bet on the dog winning any prizes. Machine translation is not on a professional level yet, even with chatGPT.

TBH it is difficult to see how the current LLM based approach would succeed in proper translation work, since almost by definition things like puns and clever wordplay are not going to be the most likely tokens for a model to predict.
In my country there's still a 0% tax (which can be seen as a subsidy) and there's still what we call the 'salderingsregeling'. That last thing allows people to deduct the KWH they produce in summer from what they use in winter. This can also be considered a subsidy, even though it's not paid by government. Both promote buying solar. The last part looks like we'll finally start to get rid of from 2025.
Just ... without the RC part. If you look at modern slot car racing, the cars are incredibly fast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtwkRd6zHwg

I don't think a human operator could reasonably control the cars at that speed remotely. But, given the simplistic nature of the track, a µC equipped car might be able to.
They should send replacement plates to affected people.
The downside of a tendency to apply first principle thinking to everything. My best guess so far.
I thought it might have to do with "order by random()"

In a declarative language, random() would get executed once, so it'd be like "order by 4" (nod to xkcd)

New open-source datasets for music-based development
The MusicBrainz project by MetaBrainz has released their latest dataset, MusicBrainz Canonical Metadata. This dataset solves a number of problems involving matching music to the correct entry in the massive MusicBrainz database. Previously it has been difficult to programmatically identify the main (canonical) release of an album or song. This dataset solves the problem, for anyone interested in building their own music database, tagger application, or other music-related application.

You can find all the MetaBrainz datasets here: https://metabrainz.org/dataset…

The MusicBrainz database aims to collect all the metadata for all music that has ever been published. For popular albums and songs, which have been released many times, it can be hard to answer the question “which one is the main (canonical) entry?” Using the new dataset, a user can enter any release or recording MBID (MusicBrainz identifier), and match it to the canonical entry.

The tables included in the dataset contain all the string metadata necessary to make effective use of the dataset. Artist names, release names and recording names are all present, indexed against the MBID’s. This lowers the barrier for entry to music-based development considerably — anyone can now import the dataset into their favourite datastore, and start looking up tracks.

The MetaBrainz Foundation offers a number of different datasets, often under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) licence. These datasets can be used to build applications, databases, or train machine learning algorithms/AI. MetaBrainz Foundation datasets power countless projects, and stand behind the scenes of many of today’s largest tech companies, such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. The MetaBrainz Foundation datasets are all available on the MetaBrainz datasets page. The MetaBrainz Foundation uses the new MusicBrainz canonical metadata dataset themselves, primarily in the tagging application MusicBrainz Picard, and the social music site ListenBrainz.
Depending on the altruism level of yourself, you could do something like BOINC or just mine coins?

> audible proximity sensors.

Man, my driving instructors car had those. Driving around the neighborhood where I live had those going off pretty much the entire time. Makes one wonder how incredibly oversized the parking spaces are where the designer of that feature lives.
To add to this: A bit similar to Lisp, due to the different compiler plugins, Haskell is more like a family of dialects. One can be pretty vanilla about what the types should protect against, but one can also build arcane type-magic buildings that rely on the newest PL research.

Simple, vanilla Haskell is approximated more and more by the mainstream languages: Optional types, andThen().orElse() and friends and other things - which I am really happy about!

Why not use a more mainstream langauge then? For me, there are at least 3 hard reasons:

1) The stuff mentioned above is old, battle-tested and deeply embedded into the language and the community - it feels ergonomic to use.

2) IO-being-a-library is a paradigm that produces programs that I love to maintain, also when others written them.

3) Haskell has nice interfaces that I miss in mainstream languages, Functor and Monad for example. My prediction is that in around 5 years, mainstream languages will start to offer these kind of interfaces - starting from "Wait, what else can we do with andThen() and optional chaining and so on?"
It also has a fairly easy solution: disable the CC6 sleep state. The practical effects from that will most likely be minimal or non-existent for most users of these CPUs.
Air tag on steroids
> Well it's good, and very happy, but seriously, what is going to power Northern Europe in winter?

Wind, onshore and offshore. The North Sea is currently filled up with offshore wind parks. North Sea countries

Hydropower is popular in the Nordics, I believe. With pumped storage that could flatten the seasonal variation.

Overproduction of both wind and solar is also feasible. Winter production of solar is not nothing, it's just less. Scaling up the number of collectors will still get you more production.

Seasonal price fluctuations. Having summer electricity be nearly free can create business opportunities, whereas high winter prices will reduce demand from industrial consumers.
You weren't talking about crude oil only, were you? So what point are you trying to make with this article?
Supplying gas, which takes weeks or month to be consumed which can be stored and which, ultimately can come from different sources is very different from supplying electricity directly.

If Algeria were to stop providing gas to Europe suddenly, gas could always be sourced from somewhere else. It would clearly be a huge headache but it can be done (cf Russian gas crisis just 6 months ago).

However, If Algeria decide to just stop providing electricity to Europe, what can Europe do?

If you think Europe making themselves dependent on Russian gas was a blunder, making themselves dependent on African electricity is a geopolitical suicide.
If it's not against the terms, maybe you can sell it at a big discount?
The 2nd video has a screenshot asking people to manufacture a consensus on HN regarding GrapheneOS, FWIW.
For more of Stross on Peel, here he discusses Peelian principles after the Ferguson police killed Michael Brown - http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2014/08/ferguson... . "It seems to me that if they’re not committed to the Peelian principals, then they’re not a police force: they’re something else."

Also, from http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2013/07/crib-she... :

> I will note that modern policing in the British Isles, as largely established by Sir Robert Peel with his reforms and the Peelian Principles, was in no small part a reaction to the previous practice of crime suppression via a system of badly-enforced but brutal and draconian punishments (the Bloody Code) and freelance thief-takers (such as Jonathan Wild, who per wikipedia "invented a scheme which allowed him to run one of the most successful gangs of thieves of the era, all the while appearing to be the nation's leading policeman").

> Seriously, go read up on Jonathan Wild and the legal climate he operated in. It wasn't so much corrupt as broken by design, and very badly so: the analogies with the private "corrections" industry in the USA today should be glaringly obvious.
Twitter+LiveJournal+Kindle+Dmoz and Affiliate Program
We (two founders) are creating startup that will provide a site with functionality like Twitter+LiveJournal+Kindle+Dmoz and an advanced affiliate program (so, we pay authors). It will run on revolutionary Internet Computer blockchain.

The site will be based on an advanced system of folders: there will be both owner and communal folders to represent authorship or community.

We aim at never deleting a post, unlike what Twitter does, instead we move downvoted posts down the stream.
