This doesn't seem super useful to me.

Personally my todo lists are all 2-5 words, quick to write and just enough to job my memory for what I want to do.

For example, I need to clean the neck of my skimmer for my saltwater aquarium, I'd put "clean skimmer neck" on my todo list.

TodoBot says this is poor because I didn't include location or what I'd clean it with. It suggested "Clean skimmer neck in the pool with a brush"

Location isn't helpful here, I know where my skimmer is, saying "Clean skimmer neck underneath my 100 gallon saltwater aquarium in my office" would get high marks from the bot, but not actually be useful. "with a brush" is also equally useless. What else am I supposed to clean a skimmer neck with? I know how to clean a skimmer, I don't need to write where and how to clean my skimmer every time I add it to my todo list.

Another aquarium related task on my todo list it was helplessly lost on "Waste Away 50ml 6/1" Which tells me to add 50mls of Waste Away to my aquarium on 6/1. The AI bot rates it really poorly because I don't describe what I'm doing with the 50ml. I don't have too. There's only one thing I do with that 50ml.

A more common example, most people don't have saltwater aquariums. "Take out garbage" for the night before the garbage runs, was rated similarly as poor by the bot. It suggested including which bins need to be taken out and to where. All the bins need to go out and the go out to the only place you take the garbage out to on garbage night. The road.

Feels like one of those productivity tools that let you feel productive, but don't actually help you be productive.
Is it the collective version of listening to an alcoholic explain why he doesn't have a problem, or the version of an air-breather explaining why breathing air isn't a problem?

Humans are social creatures. Meaningful interaction is literally as important as eating, drinking water, and breathing. We don't say we're addicted to those things; those things are just necessary for life (well, I suppose with eating there's shades of gray).

The concept of "exclusively pairing off with a romantic partner" is one of the most pervasive and universal patterns across all of humanity. Any culture. Any location. Any time. There are exceptions (polyamory shows up every once in a while), but they're vanishingly rare compared to the norm. Its not just cultural; its absolutely biological. Some would say its related to reproductive drive, but what's fascinating to me is: wouldn't one male / multiple female polyamory maximally optimize reproductive outcomes? I'm content in saying: I don't know why, but pairing is absolutely a biological need.

Loving yourself is important and great. But that's different from "loving being single". There's a long list of human needs, and there's really strong arguments that trying to shed them will just force you to look to fill that void elsewhere, sometimes worse (the most compelling one I've heard is how religion fills an amorphous-need-for-spirituality in humans, and without it we've turned to spiritualizing things like tech companies / cars / capitalism in general).
I don't have any information on the pinout the LM4A uses on its SODIMM connector compared to the pinout the Pi3 CM uses on its SODIMM connector.
The Windows documentation is actually hard to find. I can only find it through a search engine:

https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/A/2/8A2FB72D-9B96-...

But what is happening here is that Gigabyte actually downloads an application at startup and places _THAT_ one into the WPBT to be executed.

Are they signed?

Does Windows allow the execution of an exe from WPBT that is not signed, or self-signed?

In my opinion Microsoft should release a patch that blocks WPBT execution on Gigabyte until they've proven that they're secure. That is what I expect from the OS.
Tell the fed to squash demand! We can't be having demand for all this new productivity.

Jokes aside, when it comes to programming this stuff will actually have even bigger boosts for people who really understand how all the pieces fit together. It'll make gluing stuff up much less tedious. 14% seems way understated.
Why would they buy them out? The main value prop for the client is no ads, reddit wants to serve ads or provide a subscription. So while it was great, reddit provided free infra, that Apollo resold to their users, it's fair to expect it to end. 20M is something like 15-20 dollars per year per user for them, seems fair.

Tired of trying to beat kube into shape? Does writing YAML to ship code fill you with utter dread? Dream of a future where deploying software is simple, and you don't need an army of infrastructure engineers to build that perfect janky bash script™ to make life easy?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. So far we've built out a platform loved by hundreds of thousands of users who simply tell us "Give me Postgres", "Deploy this repo", and we make it happen

We were recently named to the 2023 Nasdaq "Enterprise 30" list: https://www.enterprisetech30.com/list

Fair warning! The problems are complex: home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

If that sounds like you, please apply at railway.app/careers. We have a number of roles, but are prioritizing the following:

Platform Engineer - General

Platform Engineer - Orchestration

Support Engineer

Solutions Architect

See you soon, and happy shipping.
What proof do you have that you are not a bot?
> people have been cheating at YouTube for ages with viewbotting, but Mr. Beast managed to smash the viewership of any of those people by using YouTube’s analytics to crush the algorithm.

This... doesn't sound much better. In some sense, it's buying view with extra steps. Both methods are about gaming YouTube instead of creating quality content.
> I wonder if the framework is particularly tied to Elixir or if it could be done in a more popular language so more people will take it up.

My understanding of the origin of Phoenix is that Chris McCord tried to create something like LiveView in Ruby, but the concurrency system didn't support the vision he had for how it would work. He cast around a bit, discovered Elixir and create Phoenix and then LiveView.

The concurrency story in other languages is improving over time, but they're still trying to catch up with what Erlang was doing in the 80s. Building complicated applications on top of the BEAM and OTP is a joy compared to any other system that I've used. You learn a few simple approaches, and many things you've had to think about just go completely away.
That mainly depends on the number of dimensions on the model, and if the training picked up split meaning.

With a high dimension vector (>50d, more usually 300d or 500d) one or two dimensions together will pick up a concept.

This is why word algebra like

Paris - France + Russia ~ Moscow

works with original Word2Vec vectors.

Language models are better at picking up context-dependent meaning, but word vectors still have good enough performance for many tasks.
I can just imagine Maude Flanders: "Oh, won't somebody think of the profits!"

not worth the manufacturing investment for such a big company.

Isn't the whole point of being a big company that you can make big investments that a small company can't?
> As you can see from the receipt, my order is number #57189, so it's definitely not something that's only used every once in a while

It's funny that the author things he discovered a "signal", from a company whose business is selling signals.

> Well, the biggest one is that those are brand new accounts — they were created at the time of my order. They don't have any fake personal information or repositories or contributions.

> And after a month, they are all gone. GitHub detected and banned them.

Obviously, the cheap option is there only to prove to the clients that expensive option is worth it. Here the author believes he found a signal - stars disappear after a month. I would bet that the people collecting the money are making they disappear to make a point.
Recently I've favored Privacy as a Right. Seeing what someone is doing is only part of it, imo. What about the thoughts in your head? Is it a privacy issue to try to extract your thoughts? Yes. There is a moral right to privacy. It's part of what makes us humans and promotes humankind, as we know it.
Maybe this is a bad use, but finding one of those really high-end AI voice suites and running off a bunch of audiobooks for books that never got narrated editions would be cool. Every time I get access to a better one I make a slightly improved version of "Sentenced to Prism."
They should have done that, but it probably took a contractor minutes to create a TEMPORARY, EXAMPLE domain like "starspangled200.org."

The plan would have been to change this later to read md.gov/starspangled200, which will 301 redirect to maryland.gov/starspangled200, which needs to be made to point to a new starspangled200.maryland.gov subdomain because the Windows server running www.maryland.gov requires everything to be under the www.maryland.gov/Pages/<page name>.aspx URL scheme... But project management ran over budget, and the people who needed to be contacted about those changes couldn't be reached, and when the subcontractor's project manager talked to the vendor's project manager who emailed the wrong government IT department, some information was lost. The necessary forms needed to be filed, but to do so the contractor needed a particular vendor ID number and approval for that takes months, how many more projects do you plan to do for the state? And anyways starspangled200.com looks pretty clean, do we really want to do this optional redirect? So they spent some pocket change and registered it for 10 years, and handed off the task of renewing it to some administrator who could spell DNS but knew nothing else about it with a stern warning that things would break if it was not renewed.

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge of this project.
where are all these torrent sites that have been up for years and I've never heard of geez
C-interop is pretty perfect for most usecases. The only trouble I had was that, since command line arguments are converted to slices in Zig, I have to convert them back to null-terminated strings whenever I call C functions using any of the arguments. Nothing difficult but slightly painful.
> PDF is to HTML

PDF is also an under-appreciated graphics format. It can be a mere container for more primitive data, but a PDF can do a lot more, way more than HTML (I mean, Postscript is Turing complete on its own)
While I was suspecting something like this is taking place, it's quite sad to actually have solid evidence.

I was actually doing my own kind-of research in hopes of starting an open-source-focused start-up. While I know stars aren't the definitive indicator of the project quality or popularity, it certainly helps build a good image, as it's one of the easiest public stats potential users can track. Also, unless gained in nefarious manners, like described in the post, they also roughly align with the project's current stage.

I was exploring how other start-up projects gain their stars, mainly by aligning the visible bumps in their star count to various events related to the project.

Pretty much all official start-up or seed funding announcements I've seen happened in the range of 300~3000 stars, mostly at ~1000. The main drivers behind the star bumps of the projects were e.g. viral HN or Reddit posts, PH launch, or getting to GitHub Trending.

For some projects however, I couldn't find any events related to the stars increases which, considering this post, makes the possibility of them being bought higher than 0.
I understood timestamps to be "seconds since 0:00 UTC January 1 1970", so absolute points in time that are not timezone-dependent. Wikipedia agrees with us too. Of course there is no official definition, and the term has evolved from an older concept (actual rubber stamps) so it's not surprising that others use it differently...
Probably not. @Vector is not a mathematical vector, it's SIMD. it makes sense because there are times when those live in registers and a poly fill for stack memory isn't burdensome.

@Matrix makes less sense because when it gets big, where are you getting memory from?
> It would be fantastic if the purported "law and order" and "second amendment" crowds were to practice what they preach, look at the terrible injustice of summary executions by cops

It happens, though I too wish that would happen more.

E.g. In 2020, right-wing Senator Rand Paul created the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act, prohibiting no knock warrants. [1] Unfortunately, it got relatively little support.

There are legitimate issues with law enforcement practices, but unfortunately the Floyd case was popularized as a race war. The race angle is a false narrative aimed at stoking anger and controversy.

Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) | Infrastructure Software Engineer | Bay Area | Full-time | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/y-combinator/jobs/0Ewh...

I currently run YC’s infrastructure and I need some help! Over the last 7 years I’ve been at YC, our software team has grown considerably both in engineers and in products. We need to invest more in our infrastructure so we can keep shipping our products quickly.

The main thing you’ll need in this job is curiosity; I work at every layer of a very large stack. One day you might dig into AWS apis, another it’s a 3rd party Ruby gem or our git history. Or maybe you get paged that all the SSDs for Hacker News (primary and standby!) died on the same day :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32028511.

The first few months will be heavier on infrastructure work but in the future the job will hopefully be equal parts developer experience, infrastructure work, and product engineering that impacts all of our products (think SSO, sending email, security, etc).

The main products we support are all Ruby on Rails apps running in AWS (mostly in ECS); ideally you’ve already worked on apps like that. You have at least 5 years of experience. Part of that was shipping code to customers but you’ve also got cloud experience (we try to mostly use Terraform). You’re probably the person people turn to when there’s a fire to put out.

YC has excellent compensation and benefits (see more in the formal job description below). The team and the work life balance are great. About half of us are former founders and many of us are parents. And if you’re curious about startups (and possibly starting one someday), this job gives you amazing access to interact with YC’s programs, partners, and founders.

If you’re interested, I’d love to chat! I’m mark@ycombinator.com. Or you can apply here: https://www.ycombinator.com/careers?ashby_jid=0ff92c0f-f73b-...
I think the experience just isn't mainstream enough. I think there are a lot of people that would drop $200-$300 to get a beat sabre experience if they were aware of the option. Is there any reason it should be less compelling than the "Wii as exercise" craze, for example?
I like my Quest 1 for fitness games, but what bothers me most is the low resolution/screen door effect. No mention of any spec improvements in that area. Looks like the official announcement only mentions "higher resolution".
What kills me is that you can't rely on them, even with all that engineering and cost. I was tired of 3rd party combo chargers failing for wireless charging + charging a watch -- Apple's costs $130 but I figured at least it was one thing I wouldn't have to worry about ever again. (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHXF3AM/A/magsafe-duo-cha...)

The piece of shit failed after maybe 3 months, it just wouldn't charge the phone and my spouse would wake up with a completely dead battery in the morning. Forums are littered with people with similar problems.

Same thing with their shitty expensive cases -- terrible peeling with moderate use. Drives me crazy you can pay so much for such a terrible quality 'premium' product.
No, it’s much darker. It means if you’re skilled the gap between you and unskilled just got much much smaller.

Think about that…
Ha! I ate dirt in the 70s as a toddler! and spiders!

Eating dirt actually helps build the gut-biome. and it helps kids stay healthy through fortifying the immune system (this is why all the 'hand-sanitizers' are actually worse for human health)

But I was lucky - I grew up within 500 feet of Lake Tahoe, and would just walk out the door, go up Ward Creeek to the backside of Alpine Meadows, setup booby traps for hikers (trip wires... it was the 1980s..)

But I coerced my dad to buy a machine for his "business" and then I took over the machine and played tons of games - but would also be 'kicked out of the house until dinner' at times and just explore the forest, swim in the lake, or steal boats.

Again, this was like 1986 and I stole a bunch of boats because my dad was a big general contractor who built and cared for a crap-load of lake front properties with boat-houses, and I knew where my dads clients were all the time, so I could steal their boats for joy rides... and for some of the houses I had the keys.

It was a common thing in Tahoe in the 1980s to break into vacation homes and throw "keggers"

You committed the cardinal sin that an X% increase is offset by a (100-X)% decrease. The number is a reduction of 12.3% or 614 agents. Your point is unchanged but I just want to call out a 50% productivity boost won't be a loss of half the agents. "Only" a reduction of 33%.
I do hear that. But it seems to me, having the company take the deposit creates perverse incentives, e.g. the company is basically betting on the user breaking their commitment.

A key difference also is, by requiring the deposit before resolving the commitment, it removes the escape hatch of just canceling your credit-card. It also generalizes to any app on the platform.

I was considering supporting anti-charities (e.g. NRA, DNC etc..), but I thought that was unnecessarily distracting.
People don’t buy a product, they buy a story, and that description you quote is definitely a story.
Remember:

Whatever car it is, it's just a car that a dealer is trying to move off its lot.

Whatever the asking price, the care sales person would rather get a cut of a small markup than zero percent of a dream price.

The goal of a dealership is to not maintain inventory.

Because the factory will make more cars.

Now the practical tip: use the power of the internet to contact individual sales people about what you want. I mean a few hundred within an arbitrary radius.

You can always fly to pick up a car.

You can always have a car delivered.

The cost is rounding error on the price.

Sales people who sell a lot of cars don't need to make their entire nut on you.

Good luck.
You can join an AWS partner, give them the credits in the exchange get virtual credits for a later consumption.
Probably because the only things you can do on that phone are things for which there is a feature. That's what distinguishes it from a general purpose (smart) phone. Similar to the distinction between general purpose computer vs an embedded system.
I used Zig for a weekend project and loved it, but I am resolved to not use it for anything else until it hits 1.0. I don't have time to write and re-write and re-re-write my code as the language and stlib stabilize.
This is what I felt as well. It just feels silly to rank people and tries to distill your relationships into a black-and-white that doesn't really match the greyness of the world.

I would be upset if my partner wanted me to pick them over my best-friend AND vice-versa. It has nothing to do with ranking... it's hard to describe what it is exactly. I suppose more of a disappointment that people close to you would act so immature is how I would feel if it happened. Luckily I don't haven't had those types of people in my life since my teens. And I think those people have since grown out of that, as well.
"AI will enhance jobs rather than replace them" has always been the more practical argument for AI in the workforce. Humans cannot be eliminated, and those that have tried to fully replace humans with chatbots like ChatGPT or artists with Midjourney/Stable Diffusion haven't had as much success.

Unfortunately discourse around this particular topic tends to be less nuanced than it should be.
I feel like I read an article just like this last year...
How would you feel if a maid or technician you hired stole a game from you house? Would it be better if the thief would have gladly paid for the game they stole, but couldn't because was difficult/impossible to buy?
Lookup Brandolini's law

IMHO generative AI is an automated way of generating bullshit, which is fine as long as the data used for training is not bs itself you can probably derive some value in a limited set of contexts. Once you have the BS make it into the wild and it is fed back into the generator we will enter a BS downspiral.

If you're old enough to remember the world before search engines and how awesome search engines were in the beginning you've already seen this in action. Try using a search engine today. SEO spam made them almost unusable with really bad results.

This is the future of generative "AI". Show it work really really well for a small set of cases, get the imagination going and you're going heads first into a situation involving and emperor and lack of clothes.

The AI hype is also not new. !e've had several cycles of "thinking machines" taking over. I don't see how this time it's different.

It's always something that gets hyped up and gets the hustlers going: vr, ml, selfdriving, crypto, llms. Look at the tech and how it works, use it, ignore the hype.
Pretty much the only app I use is the Wander app (Google Street View browser). I don't see the appeal of games but for static stuff i d say it has a lot of use cases (Architecture etc)

Indeed. There's a huge gap between an identity that you apply to yourself and an identity that is wielded against you. The labels used to be "normal" vs "illegal", and you can still see weaponized labels being chucked around ("groomer" and "paedo" especially).

It's the gap between being forced to wear a pink star as a prelude to being taken to a concentration camp vs in a freer society choosing to wear one.
