I found the same, and I was really hoping for a productivity boost. I really wonder how much this correlates to developer speed. I code using Vim and type probably 80-100wpm. Typing is usually not the bottleneck for me. Thinking is. Copilot is good at typing, but not good at thinking. IME. Occasionally it will surprise me with a valid contribution, which I then need to check just as carefully as if I were writing it myself.
Thats an incredibly low number. I think best typesquat i knew was for twitch, the t seems almost silent and the website there was incredibly nasty.
But that's a large part of the appeal. "Binary compatible with RHEL" sells Rocky, not "another Linux".
Ok, now explain how free market economies have improved the quality of life and lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system in history.
There's a document that I think was an unofficial project management document from NASA, I can't find it now, but one of the items was something along the lines of 'if your space mission isn't reusing an existing launch vehicle, it will be a launch vehicle development project and everything else, including what you think is the focus of your mission, will be secondary to this'.

Edit: additional bit I remembered, this statement is prefixed with something like 'you may start thinking you project will be cheaper/more efficient if you develop a launch vehicle suited to your particular mission instead of compromising on an existing one, but', then the above.
I think it is a general observation ... I don't think there is a real measurements of happiness or socialability
It amazes me how much money businesses just throw at Google with little to no insight into how it all actually works.

As far as I can tell, it really is mostly based on faith and trust in Google. There is no obvious way to really verify what is actually taking place behind the scenes on the back end.

Maybe you're getting what you think you're paying for or maybe you're not. Only Google knows for sure. It is all rather opaque --- but who cares, just keep those ad dollars flowing.
Most of the fixes, the tilting of the scales in their favour, do have victims.

Innocent people who just happen to look wrong, who get discriminated against so the favoured people can be quotaed in. Many companies refuse to fulfill positions even if they have qualified candidates if none of the candidates checks the right identity boxes.

Microsoft, for example:

You're kidding yourself if you think people who have nothing to do with the bad conditions the policies ostensibly try to correct for aren't being hurt.

Of course, insistence on policies like that doesn't come from nowhere. The education system is absolutely rotten:

A couple samples of the blatant racist rhetoric the universities spew against white people daily. You can write fun shit like this and keep your job since the target is acceptable:

Or Zeus Lombardo, who's a professor of education and has been spreading this shit for at least ten years. His recommended reading is "fun":

https://twitter.com/MythinformedMKE/status/14500834637265182...

"Whites learn to be white. That suggestion by Thandeka is that whites are not born white. They have to become white. And her suggestion is that white children who were not white originally - they were born human. Little by little, they have to be abused into becoming white humans. And this abuse is sometimes physical - of being physically disciplined into whiteness, such as being bullied into whiteness. That's a phrase I like to use, whiteness as bullying, but it's also psychological and cultural, and it becomes with caretakers and guardians. Not the least of which - the more important caretakers are of course the white family, parents etc. but it extends to the white nationhood as a caretaker, the white social system, the white social welfare, the white governance system. They also discipline and abuse white humans into whiteness."

I don't know about you all, but to my 90s brain that looks just a wee bit like blatant racism, but what do I know. I'm just an acceptable target.
> What service do they provide you?

Security updates for 5-7 years.
Yeah, but that would stimulate the existence of comparison websites.
I prefer Atom to RSS.

1) Atom has separate <updated> and <published> fields, while RSS just has <pubDate>. Moreover, RSS wants to you add a redundant day of the week in the date, i.e., "Sat, 07 Sep 2002 0:00:01 GMT", which is dumb.

2) Atom allows you to use <content type="html"><![CDATA[]]></content> where you can just stick in HTML, whereas RSS <description> just specifies "entity-encoded HTML is allowed".

3) RSS has redundant <guid isPermaLink="true"> vs. <link>. Which one is a feed reader supposed to use?
The form factor isn’t the problem. The software is. If they’d let it runMacOS it would be great.
Really commend the ambitious move here. If successful it would be such a differentiator blazing a new trail!

But that still does not allow for offline playback, background playback from a mobile app so they can still suck it.

It also makes no sense that you need a family account for more than one profile with a single paid account. At least price wise it is a tough sell against actual streaming services with actual (developed or licensed) content that do offer multiple profiles per account.

But it's still a bad fit for artists too, as they're not gonna need the hardware of the pro. It's way too overpowered/expensive for what iOS permits you to do.

> I did accuse him of broadcasting white supremacist tendencies by his follows.

Simply following someone doesn't count as "broadcasting". If you don't like things being recommended by the Twitter algorithm, just use the "following" tab. If you don't, that's on you.
It just keeps getting better!

This is so exciting because contacts length has been a problem with these models for so long and it's awesome to see open source finally cracking that egg.

I need another GPU.

edit:

I'm actually a little bit skeptical of this. Yes it's dynamically scaling which is great when you have a model that's not fine tuned, but I think it's not going to work out too well when you try fine tune a model on a target that's moving like that. I'd rather one that stay static so that perplexity is always increasing up to the max rather than doing much those graph shows where it gets worse over time.

That said I don't really know what I'm talking about so maybe it'll be better regardless.
Maybe, but I suspect you're smart and have the intuition to "just know" if something went very wrong. For example, if you multiply 5 by some other integer and the result ends with a 2, you'd just feel it in your gut, no? This is not true for everyone!

It's not uncommon to have folks with reasonable math skills ending up behind a cash register and insisting they're right when such errors occur and I see a high likelihood of this happening with relying on "AI" too. Domain knowledge and good intuition will continue to be valuable.
Given that we're in 2023 this seems like a weird hill to die on.

I had the Mi A1 since its release until a couple months (fall in a water bucket and broke), and it was a perfect phone at that time:

Pure Android experience with no bloatware, 2 full days of battery with moderate usage, a decent screen, fast, confortable to use, and also was cheap.

Nowadays most Android phones have plenty of bloat and lack some specifications unless you spend some money. It's sad how a cheap phone that were usable was €150 to €200 and now the bracket is between €300 and €350.
Isn’t the language model itself the spec?

Potentially for all of the inputs at once.
I'm really not understanding how npm security is related to wayland security. Do you mean sending everything through dbus in plain text format? Yes, wayland wet the bed on that one.

If npm is the only thing you know and want to talk about, and you have no idea what the security weaknesses introduced by wayland or xorg are, maybe do it in another thread?
Not sure why you think it's clickbait? They have messed up password form validation. Sure it's not the worst, not even the worst I've come across. But it's still bad.

I’d love to know what fantasy world you live in where developers don’t routinely fuck up basic functionality of operating systems by implementing custom versions of things like save & print dialogs.

Yet they do.
So, as an extreme case, should we jail Asian Americans because of the crimes of Unit 731? They're part of the same group, no?

One quibble with the word 'group' there, too: Ethnic groups are reference categories, not groups in the sense it'd make sense to think of groups as eg. decisionmaking entities that can be responsible for something.

I had the "timezone thing" with a colleague in the same city because he had some weird sleep disorder. Basically, he was a vampire. Asleep during the day, working all night.

> "All human life, we may say, consists solely of these two activities: (1) bringing one’s activities into harmony with conscience, or (2) hiding from oneself the indications of conscience in order to be able to continue to live as before."

I mean, you know what people also use to "hide from oneself the indications of conscience"? Reading long novels, like the ones Tolstoy wrote.
c2rust is definitely cool, but it also supports transpiling to a single architecture, which often misses a lot of architecture dependent code and specialisations in real world c code. Especially because it has to do macro expansion and you only get the expanded code.

It also doesn't supportal a good amount of more complicated c features.

It's a help for sure, but the few times I tried I ended up just doing the rewrite by hand instead to actually cover all the cases.

Rated by their marketing team, not by reality. Independent testing showed marked different results.

If you’re using aws spot pay careful attention to the region. In many aws regions spot prices have skyrocketed and offer less discount over on demand. Other regions have very cheap spot prices still. Also consider looking at equivalent instances like the c5d family.

Some of us do use it. It just has the slight problem of weighing 200 tons which makes it mildly impractical for anything but use at home.

Trying to make the iPad thing work for almost 10 years, I finally gave up and bought a Surface Pro (7 first, and upgraded to 8).

People use to joke about the length iPad user go to execute simple tasks.

Like logging to a remote server to reboot it. You can do it on an iPad, you just need an SSH app, share your keys with it, and you're done. Then you push a bit further to check out some git repo, change it and push it, and have your server update. But you're probably three apps down the line at this point, they can't really share a common working directory in the way you expect it to work as files are managed individually, there is the backgrounding issues etc.

You can make most things work, but through piles of hacks, workflow glue, paying for many more external services or basically moving everything remote, out of the iPad.

At some point I had a RPi stuck to the iPad to locally ssh into it.

Or you spend the same amount of effort and frustration, but on Windows, on a machine that has none of the silly limitations, can run an actual linux subsystem locally, Docker if you want to, a full VSCode available offline and any other real pro tool you need.

Basically, for the same amount of pulling hairs a Surface Pro actually delivers where the iPad always falls short in some way.

What are the rings for actually? Decoration?
Or especially Signal and Tor. But only if you're a leftist! Because leftists must of course be using those things to plot terrorism. Being a leftist while using privacy tech was a core part of the reasoning for the cops arresting those people.
Bowling is developing into "big balls golf." You try to read and guess oil conditions, with the oil pattern being different at different venues, and the pattern change by every previous bowl of the day. An innovation that would make it more interesting to watch would be a way of showing these differences to the audience.
I have no food allergies. Except to aspartame, if you consider it a food.

I don't drink a lot of soda so I picked up on the reaction sooner rather than later. From then on I avoided it. Until one day it was in something and I wasn't aware of that. My chest hurt so much I thought I was having a heart attack. Maybe I was.

So while that isn't cancer, it's still not a good sign. Standard sugar will do.
Reading through this conversation worries me about adopting the product -- will it meet B2B needs, or will it do what it was conceived to?

This feels like a case where you could be more open minded to users' "job to be done" and less reliant on the "you can just..." trope from engineers over-familiar with a pet tech.

While I appreciate you got to "let's jump on a call", the "I'm not sure I understand" plays like engineering speak for "you're doing it wrong".

I've found, in general, users never do it wrong, rather, product owners fail to accept their product is not being used for the job they think.

Users have a need, users try to make a need-adjacent product fit the need -- but it doesn't. Teaching the users a lesson in using the product doesn't actually resolve the need.

(This is similar to the rare insight that requiring user training before using the product is a sign of both a poor user experience and a need/feature mismatch. The more marketed and "required" the training, the less well-suited the product.)
Fairphone looks great, BUT they don't sell outside Europe.

"The father of deep learning", hah. Sounds like something he would say.
It's not quite as fast but the Thinkpad X13s Snapdragon? Fanless, lighter than the 13" MBA, battery life seems good from reviews, offers M.2 storage and 5G if you need it. There is also an ARM version of the Surface Pro 9 which offers an iPad Pro like form factor but without the restrictions. Admittedly the current ARM PC offerings aren't as fast but they aren't terrible either.
They ruin pretty much everything they get their grubby mits on, so yes why not
Pro in Apple world means more powerful hardware + extra niceties. Not a different ecosystem.
The same thing happens for me when logged out, that's rather annoying if this is planned.

Hiding the encrypted messages so that it looks like other normal traffic. Like encoding your encrypted message (subtly) in the pixels of an image (like noise).
Show HN: tracking the performance of the latest startup launches & beta-projects
I built a tool that tracks the performance of the latest startup launches and beta-projects.
Yes and no.

Yes, it actually works. That's what matters at the end of the day.

But no, eventually you're going to have to fine tune on something that has a larger context or training a brand new model with the position embeddings semi randomized so that it learns to generalize in the first place instead of needing hacks like this to function.

But training a model costs millions and millions of dollars, so we're going to have to wait until some very generous group decides to do all that training and then release that model open source.

Or releases the model file for a paid charge fee, I'd pay like $200 for a good one.
Agreed. I haven’t microwaved food in plastic for 20+ years. It just always seemed gross. My biggest beef with plastic containers is that once washed with cheap dish soap (e.g. Dawn) the plastic container and any food stored in it always an forever smell and taste like the fragrance in the soap. I don’t find this to be a problem when using 7th Generation dish soap, which I consider to be far superior.
I remember seeing an editorial about the rumored release of the iSlate (yes, that's what people thought it'd be called) circa 2010.

It said that if the iPad was a Macbook, all would be well. But if it was a large iPhone, it would set back tablet/mobile computing a decade.

I think it ended up being a little dramatic, but I agree that the iPad being as shackled as its been has been a net negative for computing.
Initially, my thought was "wow, that thing was invented in 80s".
Npm is a random executable that happens to be common. It can run arbitrary code and linux userspace is basically beyond useless in securing anything meaningful about itself. That Documents/FamilyPhotos album? Completely read-writable, I can just send the whole content to any IP address. One might say that you can run it in firejail or so, but noone does it.

But here comes the graphics-related problem: even with firejail, any X program has basically unrestricted access to your whole screen and every key event without any form of security. This is basically unsolvable without nesting x sessions, or.. throwing away the whole of X and starting afresh with better primitives, a la wayland.
Don't Make It Intelligent
OnePlus is pretty close to stock. Very fast, very good battery. It's the only Android I've loved before switching to iPhone.
I have a Samsung and a OnePlus 5T bought in the same period (around 5 years ago). The OnePlus still rocks 1 day battery with medium usage, while the Samsung is dead in a couple of hours.
I am shocked! shocked! Well, not that shocked.

With Apple Music you can add your privately owned music to the library too. It even outdates Apple Music with a now legacy service called iTunes Plus that allowed you to stream your private music collection with iTunes from ‘the cloud’ for €25/year.

Back in the day I even used this to ‘white-wash’ low quality mp3 files to 256kbps acc files instead.

I think it is actually user-hostile to force users to pay for YouTube Music when you want access to ad free YouTube videos, probably why in Europe YouTube Premium Lite exists (without Music), because tie-in purchases (translated term) are generally not allowed here.
It depends on the number of sites that are on this list. Probably too many for people to be able to focus on any specific one.
> He fails to mention that the protestors were killed by sniper fire by Yanukovych

There's no conclusive proof that this is what happened. No official investigation has taken place (or has been concluded) and Ukrainian authorities have shown time and again that there was no political will to really discover how the events unfolded. (Ukrainian authorities have also been "reprimanded" for this lack of investigation by the EU or UNHCR, can't remember now and I don't have time to look for a source).

There are several alternative reconstructions of the events, for example the one by Ivan Katchanovski[1] which has also published several hours of original footage on his YouTube channel[2]. I would suggest anyone with an open mind to take a look at those.

I would be really wary of making unsubstantiated claims like those on events that are this controversial.
