I once had a long conversation with ChatGPT where I tried to get it to fix a certain programming error. It failed again and again. Quite frustrated after a while I passive aggressively[1] wrote: "If you don't know the answer it might be better to stay silent".

It answered with a "network error" and I could never revive that thread. To this day I'm torn if this was a coincidence or if I have been trolled.

Haven't had any issues with bitwarden or uBlock origin in Orion that I have noticed. There is perhaps a little delay when you click the extensions in orion to their ui loading but thats about it.

Have been using it for a few months now and its become my default browser on macOS and IOS. As I understand it for IOS the killer feature is extensions... I haven't got round to trying this yet.

On a side note it has by far the best native tree style tabs I have used and until firefox has an equivalent I won't be going back. (yes I used sideberry extension but like I said orions native implementation beats it hands down).
Please stope anthropomorphizing LLMs like this. Its so tiring.

So some people have voiced concerns about that being used to profile the movement of Germany's citizens.

IIRC the tracking is being justified by the government "to gather statistics so we can improve the service", or something like that.

It’s not a requirement now. I meant that there would be new legislation to expand ADA to cover API requirements.

APIs aren’t expensive to implement, but they reduce revenue since people bypass ads and weaken moats as data is more portable. Companies are choosing to drop and not build because of revenue, not cost.
>They just found another heavily specialized engineer and made him an obscene offer

That's unfortunately not something that most smaller companies can afford to replicate and still be alive.

If you've got unlimited money sure, everyone's replaceable as the problem boils down to having enough money to poach the next best replacement, but hiring the best of the best with guarantee they can take over the most complex codebases quickly without impacting operations, is an endeavor that can sink small companies if the bus factor hits their core.
nah, you're just being overly reactive about things. You're not contributing to the main topic
The offending lawyer isn't a name partner of the firm -- almost certainly he will be fired. The professional embarrassment will definitely make it difficult for them to get a new job.

That said, I suspect this is just the defense they're making. You argue with the facts you have, not the facts you wish you had, and the facts here are pretty bad.

Personally I don't really agree with the defense -- this is a serious fuck-up and there should be a clear signal that this is Not Okay. "I wasn't malicious, I was just lazy" isn't the best look, even if it's the best the guy has.
> So? Majorities are often slim. Just look at US elections. The difference is whether you have majority rule or minority rule.

Slim majorities mean the outcome of the election is not obvious - it's possible that the vote would have a different outcome.

It illustrates the point well regardless.

It is very encouraging to see Germany working on improvements to both their train service and also the UX of the Deutsche Bahn. Simplified fee structures like this will increase ridership.
> Yes, large language models (LLMs) are not actually AI in that they are not actually intelligent, but we’re going to use the common nomenclature here.

I'm sorry for the off-topic comment, but why do I keep seeing this? What am I missing here – is it that some people define intelligence as >= human, or that LLM are not intelligence because they're *just* statistical models?
Thanks! We actually pivoted to working on this problem at the beginning of last year. We were previously called Syndetic and were building software for data providers. As we considered pivoting I spent some time thinking about the biggest problems I've faced maintaining software and started doing personal consulting. I upgraded a bunch of Rails and React apps for various companies over the course of 2022.

Toward the middle of last year I re-connected with Andy (our third cofounder) who I went to school with and have wanted to work on a company with for a long time. We did a bunch of customer discovery / product work to figure out how to take what I learned doing this by hand and turn it into a software product. That was exciting enough that we decided to bring Andy on as a third co-founder and pivot our YC company.

Allison and my background is in building data businesses. Before Infield and Syndetic we worked at a startup in the beverage industry where we standardized inventory data for every alcohol product sold in the US. As we got into building Infield we didn't expect to use LLMs at all. We imagined a similar human-in-the-loop expert system to what we've built before.

I've been extremely impressed with recent language model's ability to handle unstructured changelog text. For example, consider the following snippet of a changelog:

Security:
- Address an issue with password validation

Breaking change:
- The `foo?` method now returns a boolean instead of int

Language models can carry the context through, so we are able to not just parse this apart into discrete changes (which I could figure out how to do with a regex) but also bring in context and categorize them. It can do this generically and really feels like something new.
Sometimes I do a sketch MR and share that code. Then other people can give advice and check some specific implementation. I found in general discussions are more productive when discussing specific things. This also shows to people that you did some work. In general it makes them more receptive.
> …the cloud is total overkill for small startups and hobby projects.

It absolutely can be, sure. But solutions like Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase, etc. can be excellent and inexpensive for those use cases.

> tokens by itself have quite a lot of semantic meaning by themselves, while characters are basically meaningless

maybe one approach would be to tokenize not on tokens automatically found using BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) but tokens that are semantically meaningful - word prefixes, suffixes and syllables. Of course we will have to decide whether to divide the word helicopter into heli-copter (pronunciation) or helico-pter (meaning), but both alternatives encode much more transferable meaning than GPT's he-lic-opter.

Of course the difficulty is that that's ... difficult. Your tokenizer would first need to understand what language a word is in, then how to split it in the context of that language. Maybe a task for a whole ML model, where current tokenizers can be simple largest-substring matchers.
Yeah, that second bit is what got him in really deep trouble. Spidey sense should've kicked in there, but instead he doubled down.
Bullshit. You can buy it via the Deutsche Bahn app without a German bank account. By the way, it is illegal to sell anything in Europe and discriminate on which EU country your bank account is from.
You only need a bank account with an IBAN number (and an address).

There are transportation services that allow you to sign up, download the ticket, print the QR code and use just that, so you don’t even need to use some app for that. Make sure to cancel before the 10th of a month because it automatically extends for another month if you don‘t.
Thankfully some service providers noticed the awful convenience and are trying to proliferate themselves by offering a better service. For example mop.la let's you buy the ticket via credit/debit card, gives you a digital ticket and let's you pause or cancel the ticket a day before the next month. (I'm not affiliated with them)
That's simply not true. It worked for me with a spanish banking account, and I've used it several times already without anything being shipped to my home. I used the DB app.

If an exception is properly handled (i.e. inside a try-catch block), the destructor of any object that might be destroyed after leaving said scope, is called as part of the stack-unwind, guaranteed by the specification.
I use a Firefox extension for this same purpose. They maintain a large database of known tracker parameters and strip them. This means occasionally a new or unknown one slips through the cracks, but overall is very effective.

Depends on what your purpose is. Of course text message isn't equivalent to a face to face meeting, nor is a face to face meeting over zoom the same as a face to face in person.

If the goal of the communication is specific (need requirement X by Y time), text is actually quite probably better (can take time to be concise and clear, use tools catered to the specifics, remove various other subtleties of face to face meetings). If you want to get to know someone or have low specificity communication needs, clearly an in person rendezvous is best.
Becoming a standard requires independent, working implementations. So this is very much part of the process.

"Can you imagine sending someone to jail or leaving someone to walk free just because you were too lazy to actually do your job?"

Interesting question. Most people have a lot of bias that wouldn't allow themself to see that the person they locked up might be innocent. You'd have almost nobody working as a judge, lawyer, cop, etc if the cognitive dissonance were allowed to creep in. In the vast majority of cases they only leveled justice against the person because they thought it was right.
As is mentioned elsewhere in the thread certain features are too easily abused. Part of being a platform owner is saying no to things that may seem like a good idea but are short-sighted and have a high likelihood of abuse.

See: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/08/business/korea-internet-e... as an example of something that should never have been implemented but is forced on a populace and becomes an anchor to an entire society.

You're free to do what you want but I don't want to be stuck with the consequences.
I use uBlock Origin on Firefox on Android with "Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool" added but am weirdly conflicted on this news. If a user opts to kneecap advertising, that is soundly within their rights. If a company does the same against another company's advertising as a part of their normal business, I feel like the user becomes a pawn in some corporate warfare strategy.

Maybe it's because I think Apple is slowly building a parallel advertising ecosystem that is slightly less intrusive for users but massively more lucrative for themselves.
It stands for Enhanced Chip Set as improvement from OCS, which stands for Original Chip Set. Note that even ECS found it's successor AGA, which stands for Advanced Graphics Architecture. AGA can display 256 colors even without using HAM (hold and modify).

Since the post only mentions Kubernetes once, I don't really understand why it's in the title at all.

> The team didn't have much DevOps expertise in-house, so a Kubernetes setup, even using a managed service like EKS, would have been way too complex for them at this stage, not to mention the additional costs of running the control plane which they wanted to avoid.

The control plane cost makes sense, but I can't imagine learning Terraform to set up ECS is that much easier than learning Yaml to configure k8s. Unless EKS is much harder to use than GKE.
> that they want to send a crystal clear message that this device is meant for interacting with other people.

But that display increases the "creepy factor" by orders of magnitude.

what does being trans have to do with any of this? why bring that in here?

while we're off-topic, please also consider the "potential harm" of suicide within trans communities and compare how access to HRT influences that. most of my trans friends who have considered suicide recently have done so in part because of the increasing hatred & vilification of trans people. your words already have "potential harm."
The last company I worked at was building a Kubernetes cluster. It was the usual story – "Heroku is way too expensive. How hard can it be to build our own Heroku?" Classic trap. Fell right into it. Company size: maybe 200. Tried to tell them it will be a huge time suck, and they were doing it Azure, and then EKS IIRC. Tried to explain that massive companies have whole departments in charge of building and maintaining that and it's an entire hobby for some masochists. I think they're probably still building it.
Apple's advertising is all about being unique. The famous 1984 commercial was all about a rebel that fights the status quo. They have followed that idea in their advertising campaigns continuously. It's a falsehood since they are trying to sell their products to the masses but that does not matter. It's all about how people feel not necessarily the reality.
It's not on all the time. Only when you interact with people.

What incentive does the person reviewing the footage have to admit to a false positive (including scenarios where it's by accident)?

A lot of machine code listings had per-line checksums which could be checked with a small auxiliary program.

Given Cato's right-wing tendencies it'd be more likely they deliberately crafted the survey to deliver this sort of fear-mongering idiocy. It feeds right into the interests of their base.

First of all, I think it's reasonable to start with the assumption that a case is fake until you validate that it is real.

Secondly, that's a ridiculous place to put the goal post. He didn't write the argument he submitted. He didn't even do basic vetting of it. It's fraudulent because he submitted work as his own that he didn't do, it's negligent because he didn't verify that the work was actually good before submitting it on behalf of his client.
> if you're in the 0.1% that is working on nuclear missiles or technological equivalents - and you are a direct target of espionage.. then my train of thought clearly wouldn't apply. The vast majority of the population is of no interest to foreign intelligence.. and never will be.

This isn't James Bond. The only way you could exhibit more ignorance about espionage would be by suggesting spies in balaclavas rappel through laser arrays to hack mainframes and steal blueprints.

Foreign intelligence services target people in far more banal positions, all the way down to lowly network engineers, with boring goals like compromising communications infrastructure so the country you're about to invade can't coordinate defense.

Low dose dextro-amphetamine for ADHD in everyday life, weed for music and various other enjoyment, only occasionally. Alcohol and whatever nose-friendly stimulants are available for parties.

You have your own value system and rules. But they apply to you. You do not decide for me as an employee what kind of relationship or interaction I should have with my boss.
