Thanks for your interest! We currently support 7 models from OpenAI and Anthropic including gpt-3.5 and gpt-4. You can definitely configure the agents to the specific needs of your application including dynamic configuration that changes for each user. The fine-tuning of base models is currently not supported but our early customers have not really needed this.
Happy to help you with your specific use case! Feel free to reach out to me at anar@proficientai.com or our Discord channel. Also you should find much of this information in documentation.
> I find it alarming that a week after the incident, 40% of the affected certificates are still in use, despite being rejected by the most popular browsers and despite affected subscribers being emailed by Let's Encrypt.

This is perhaps a consequence on how well-oiled of a machine LE typically is: people stop paying attention to it.
VSCode is better than many, but I do think it counts as bloated, has reasonably high recommended machine requirements, and performs more poorly than I would expect of such an application.

It does perform better than IJ and the like, but that's a bit of damning with faint praise.

I don't comment beyond that on it as I don't use it more than I have to (for reasons unrelated to it being Electron-based) and want to avoid Speaking Of That I Know Not. I was speaking about Electron more generally.
Hey Yury, congratulations on the new release!

From what I'm seeing, the upgrade path is essentially dump and restore. This was the case for moving from EdgeDB v1 to v2 as well. Since EdgeDB is a fast moving target this creates a lot of friction for older databases to upgrade.

Is there plans for replication support or a more robust upgrade path?
I have been using Reddit for like 13 years and I didn't know personal subreddits were even a thing...

My guess is you will need cuda support until someone ports it to mips
I think in this case the point would be to trust the source publishing the audio and not content.

I cam see a gpg like registry where news stations publish their public keys to verify that their audio / video snippets have not been tampered with.

Once I learned about that (as a technique) it completely changed how I present ideas and greatly increased the number of people who were influenced by them.
I also realized that logic is greatly overrated in debate because almost nothing covered in debates is ruled by logic, IE if you're trying to debate a policy for homeless people, logic contributes nothing.
These shape matching questions are the problems asked in the study:

See my comment above, mostly all active core devs from sktime at that time left or had to leave to the aeon project
> I'd hardly say they're just making things easier.

For users? 100% it just makes things easier. This just makes it easier for users and hopefully overcomes some of the issues with Patreon's integration with Discord.

But from a user's perspective (which is what my POV was from and the only one that matters in this context), whether you are paying Patreon or Discord, it doesn't really matter.
> Well, for me it IS helpful when the code block doesn't fit on single screen and I have to scroll AND there are multiple levels of brackets.

Maybe they'll port this feature to VS Code.

I tried it out, solves the problem you mentioned.

> Why is it that VSCode is the only good Electron app?

Because you need to sink hundreds of thousands of man-hours into making it work.

And fight against web tech most of the time you're doing that.
You are correct. Any content created on someone else's site isn't yours - Youtube, Facebook, HN, etc. Even Gmail. We are making a tradeoff for reach, access, performance, etc.
> AFAICT, NIMBYism prevents that in most large cities (though why a tent city is preferable is beyond my understanding).

It's no different than "banning abortions to reduce the amount of abortions". It doesn't work that way in reality, and rather than face reality, they dig in deeper, stick fingers in their ears and go LALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU. Except that NiMBYism goes strongly across both major political parties.

Though there's plenty to say about "affordable housing", many have argued we just need drastically more housing rather than a lot of government regulated housing prices. We're just not building enough in places people want to live, specifically because zoning (looping back to NiMBYism). [Andrew Price](https://andrewalexanderprice.com/blog20210125.php) and Strong Towns have plenty to say about this.
Yes but near-zero tech management / stakeholders pay any attention to the metrics that come out of say, Jira which would help them understand that.

So you end up spinning up a dozen different manual reports at different granularity levels that take all Friday afternoon to do.. mostly in excel/outlook, and.. so again its just manual grind work and qualitative fluff.
Yes I believe every government in the world has made a mistake by implementing prohibition.

I also believe they were all in error when slavery was legal everywhere.

This is a combination of appeal to authority and appeal to majority.
There were communities on Reddit that did a poll in Discord on whether or not they should go private. Given the where and who the audience was, what voices do you think were ‘overwhelming’ representative?

In the end it was a way for many moderators to hijack a community and transfer it to their next pet social space (Discord seems to be the current favorite).
Thanks for the paper. Interesting analysis.

I guess my thinking is more along the lines of the right sun spots and solar events in the right places - i.e. with enough energy directed in the right plane to affect earth systems. Maybe it could be fruitful to explore radio blackouts caused by solar storms - to see if correlation with temperatures could exist. That could falsify or verify such a correlation and further analysis as well. Just a thought
> I kind of want moderators on Reddit to stop moderating just to show how quickly it would kill the platform.

> Popular subreddits would be overrun with bots and hate speech within a week.

I really just wish there was an unfiltered view with an explanation of why posts were deleted. The lack of transparency is completely unnecessary. It'd be trivial to see if the rumors about mods taking money to curate messages in subs have any substance to them.

If they really are considering allowing users to vote out mods, I'd really like to see better documentation of their activities.

They didn't really need an expensive and complex "umbilical cord" type of system, but a simple rope could pull the sub up in an emergency, and keep it from getting lost or separated from the ship.

This sub has 4 Innerspace 1002 thrusters that make for a max total of 342*4=1,368lb of thrust... I think a useful point of reference in deciding how much pull force would be needed for an emergency recovery tether.

I think it's reasonable that a 4mm dyneema line with a breaking strength of 4,000lbs would be sufficient for emergency surfacing, and safely provide much more thrust that it's own motors. The whole sub weighs 23k lbs and is approximately neutrally buoyant.

Total weight for 3 miles of 4mm dyneema is only about 120lbs, and for simple emergency use, in the spirit of OceanGates now infamous "scrappy thriftiness" could be pulled with the type of simple/cheap hydraulic winches used for pulling crab pots, anchors, or fishing nets. 3 miles of this line would have cost about $15,000.
>Hopefully future subs will have more safety features.

From an engineering standpoint, Titan didn't have any safety features at all. What any sane engineer would recommend as a last-ditch backup system Oceangate relied on as a single-point-of-failure.

No phone. No beacon. Budget bluetooth controller and touchscreens. Electronics you'd expect to find in an RV. All from a CEO who flaunted his corner-cutting and apathy towards safety.

We should never do this again.

After this, anyone boarding a future tourist sub to the Abyssal Zone or deeper is asking for it.
WASM is not strictly for the web, its a generic low-level language target/series of specs.

The article itself is talking about server runtimes/workloads, nothing to do with browsers.

If generic specs can be built around WASM in such a way that you can run code securely without booting an entire OS, WASM will replace traditional containers. Smaller runtime footprint.

A consequence of having a generic compile target/spec is that your applications will also be able to run in the browser with minimal effort
Can we also rephrase this as: if you want to be more intelligent, slow down and take the time to think through a problem?
I have not listen to this podcast. Given the development speed I'm seeing from Webassembly, I really don't think so.

Also it seems to solve a different problem, yes some thing containers are useful for Webassemtly might be really useful for.

But a lot of other things I just don't see it. Will I run databases compiled to webassembly?

That said I really think Webassembly is cool and like many of the ideas. Will listen to this podcast, lets hope I am convinced.

Edit: Good title marketing
At the risk of taking the bait, I'll point out that WASM doesn't just run in web browsers.
The theory variant mentioned by you is only slightly less implausible than the depopulation variant and it also is a pure speculation that is not supported by
any evidence.

There is no doubt that when the Slavs have passed through the former Dacia province a part of them have stopped and settled there while the others have continued their journey to the South of the Danube. This explains the Slavic toponyms and the many Slavic loanwords into Romanian.

In your variant, the newly settled Slavs have been much more numerous than the Proto-Romanians, so they eventually assimilated the latter.

But then, several centuries later, there was a miraculous population explosion of the speakers of Proto-Romanian at the South of the Danube (even if in reality it is much more likely that their number was dwindling, by being assimilated by the Slavs that were more numerous in the South) and this great number of Proto-Romanians created out of nothing gathered their belongings and moved at the North of the Danube, where they created new settlements among the Slavs, and this time, unlike a few centuries ago, the number of Proto-Romanians was much greater than that of the Slavs, so the assimilation proceeded in reverse direction, restoring a Romance language as the main language of the land.

While this variant does not need the unbelievable depopulation hypothesis, it requires an unbelievable hypothesis about huge oscillations it the number of Proto-Romanians, for which there exists no explanation and no evidence.

I hardly believe that anyone can say with a straight face that this hypothesis is more plausible than the hypothesis conforming to Occam's razor, i.e. that the Slavs have settled both at the North and at the South of the Danube, but more of them have settled at the South, which was the endpoint of their journey (stopped by the Eastern Roman Empire), while the fewer that have settled at the North were early quitters, who did not want to wait in the hope of finding better lands.

In both places the Slavs have found Proto-Romanians, but eventually in the South most Proto-Romanians have been assimilated by the Slavs, while in the North the reverse happened.

This hypothesis does not include any implausible element, while the other 2 variants need either a depopulation or huge unmotivated demographic oscillations, which both are phenomena never observed in history anywhere else and for each of them there is no evidence.

Words like "basilica" have been obviously brought by missionaries coming from the Eastern Roman Empire, who spread the Christian Faith, and they do not provide any information about the location where this happened.
The other day, the Hellenic Coast Guard idled nearby while hundreds of people suffered and then drowned.

I hope at least these souls died instantaneously from an implosion when Comms first dropped.

Aren't #2-4, just wasm rediscovering static linking?

95% of the advantage that docker has over a tarball is due to gcc's (and glibc's) strong bias towards dynamic linking and how hard it is to portably package a python application's dependencies.
I am taking no side on this, as I don't have enough visibility in the topic. But do I think this answer is unfairly discounting the cost of running the company, both human and financial.

Well, it may well be that, as a European, I really don't understand how far that kind of mindset may go. My point was really that, when it comes to an individual blocking communal efforts to preserve a city as an expression of personal freedom and/or commerce, there may be always means to take over control of that car, while that may not be the case with automated systems. (There may not be even accessible and standardized controls for manual emergency override.) If so, this is an entirely different "game", with — so far — no known winning strategies.

(You may want to sort this out before inserting potential random road blocks into a city.)

I just tried that. 2 of the top 6 posts that popped up had zero comments. Within a few seconds, brand new posts (with no engagement) starting filling in from the stop.

It seems like the content algorithm is fundamentally broken right now.
The current sorting algo is sorta not great. An instance i'm on that forked, and then unforked recently is dealing with this right now. We had our own react frontend with really nice custom themes, but in order to federate we had to go back to the main codebase.

It's not great but it will hopefully improve. A lot of growing pains but overall its a really exciting time.
I feel like React is more complicated these days for little gain. I've worked in Knockout.js, Aurelia, Svelte, Vue 2, Vue 3, and now React.js. To me, React.js was more complicated to learn than almost all of them (Knockout.js is older so that felt more complicated to me). My favorite was either Vue 2 or Svelte - they're just simple to learn.

In my opinion I feel like React.js was ahead of its time, but now we're seeing some competitors achieve the same (or better results in terms of benchmarks) with simpler approaches.

Keep in mind these are just opinions, and I'm only about a month into React in a massive web application. That said, it took me like a literal day to learn Vue 2 because it was mostly just like native web development anyways.
I'm curious where you live.

I'm in a suburb outside of Portland, OR. Nearly anything I order via Prime is here within 2 days. Often, if I place an order in the morning, I can get it next day, even. There are even some items I can get same day.
> There is something to be said about the CEO going onboard themselves...

We should be allowed to take personal risk.

But taking any form of consideration from others -- particularly $250K -- introduces at least moral responsibility for being competent and truthful.

This is not just my opinion -- it's how most guiding professions work. Ski guides, mountain guides, rock guides, etc. all have professional cultures and codes of conduct which make it very clear that a guide's risk tolerance in recreational settings has absolutely nothing to do with appropriate risk management in paid settings with clients.

Take all the recreational risks you want. The moment you take cash from someone in exchange for guiding services, the moral and legal responsibilities change drastically.

If a mountain guide took a client off-route to put up a new line with ratty gear and no beacon -- at the client's request, even -- and they both died? Our response would be "that guide is an irresponsible asshole", not "at least he had skin in the game".

> Listening to "Sub Brief" video by an 20 year US Navy submariner veteran about this case, there is a bit there that just sounds embarrassing: the CEO is on a call boasting he doesn't like to hire those "50 year old white guys" and instead hired young college graduates who are "inspirational"

Indeed. Using DEI as an excuse to justify paying bottom-dollar and not investing in a real competent safety team is pretty deplorable.
Those people should bear the costs of acting irresponsibly.

The alternative is worse.
Will non-browser clients like curl/requests ever support checking CT logs? It's great that some browsers have it, but browsers are not the only clients using TLS with CAs. Also doesn't help that a lot of software can't use CA root stores with much granularity: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33876949
If they detected an implosion there's no chance of saving anyone's lives. It would increase the chance of maybe finding bodies, though.
We use a macaddr8 that embeds a wall-clock timestamp (so they're ascending order, achieving data locality) with some additional shard and sequence-number bits. It's worked really well for us:

https://github.com/estuary/flow/blob/master/supabase/migrati...

we use macaddr8 instead of bigint, because it has a postgres serialization / JSON encoding which lossless-ly round-trips with browsers and it works well with PostgREST. The same CANNOT be said for bigint, which is a huge footgun.

ULIDs are byte-compatible with UUIDs, so the only thing Postgres's native support gives you over ULIDs is that Postgres can generate new UUIDs for you instead of having to do it in the application before insertion.

the other sides view will no doubt be forthcoming. If you want to chat about it, join our slack and message me, I'm more than happy to help. How are we different? Well I think we can all live together, its open source, but from my perspective the priorities are
1. Align as closely as we can with sklearn, so as to make it completely intuitive how to use aeon if you know sklearn.
2. Focus on implementations of state of the art algorithms for time series machine learners and less on just wrapping other code. The goal is to reduce the lead time from publication of new ideas to widespread adoption
3. Documentation: make it good.

my interests primarily lie in classification, clustering and regression, but next year we are going into the forecasting world, plenty of exciting collaborations in the brew.

Reddit and its communities (comprised of users and mods) are in a symbiotic relationship.

Both have a claim on the total value of the company. Neither can survive without the other.

I thoroughly believe there are several win-win outcomes possible that address all parties' publicized concerns. I am not sure that there are technical good faith solutions being looked for right now though.
> Electron = slow and big install

This isn't the 1990s. My username alone should show I went through a period where the size of the binary and the memory size mattered.

These days with have gigabyte/terabyte hard drives and gigabytes of RAM. It generally sits unused and the O/S will handle reallocating if you really put the pressure on.

I'm not too concerned about VS Code hitting my RAM cap. Right now, with the entire front-end of a large enterprise application loaded, it's using 350 MB of RAM.

I wrote about this exact phenomenon yesterday. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36409577

This scheme is basically dumping, where you (a company) lower the price of your good and then flood the market to kill all competitors. Then when they're good and dead, you jack up the prices to extortionate levels and sit back and get piles of money, from people with no choice.

And in this case, the grievance is against all companies that give away "free service". I also wrote up the thread about GitLab doing what they're doing should never be called free. And I believe that an interpretation of FTC guidelines actually does call this behavior out as bad.

Yes, this used to be a feature of Reddit, not sure if it still is.
To be fair, isn't that a two-way street? The argument of course is that mods are paying by creating content that Reddit can profit from, but the flip side is that those mods are similarly extracting value. (Many subreddits have an income incentive for the mods and/or users, such as the crypto ones or the NSFW ones that point to sites like Only Fans, etc)
Awesome. Thanks for listening!
First, that is certainly an interesting way to bring up the anti-mod wedge the pro-Reddit-admin side are trying to push. Divide and conquer, right?

Second, this has been and always will be about the inexorable enshittification of Reddit that the Reddit admins have been pushing. The UI has been getting worse for years, and they are killing off the alternatives one by one.

This is all in order to exert more control in order to cash out (IPO) and cash in (advertiser potential going forward). And it sucks for all users.
A similar process is currently ongoing in some English dialects with initial t/d. "Tuesday" and "choose day" are homophones for some British speakers. It may well morph into "shoes jay" within another century or two. Or not. Sound changes tend to follow patterns but they are not really predictable.
