Wondering whether it subconsciously helps to have some sort of (automatic) expiration timer associated with things that end up in your "learning inbox".

I know from myself that I tend to bookmark and save many interesting talks/videos and articles for later, but often I never end up revisiting them; information hoarding in some sense.
I simply like them. I always play a train world, rush train tech, and have my trains handle everything. Much more fun than belts.

I'm pretty sure the Sámi would disagree on that one.

I'm perfectly happy with a cultural shift. Drinking is too often glorified, alcohol is sold on lifestyle and image and not on the substance of what it is, the whole marketing side of the industry is very off putting. But you'll note, cigarettes aren't illegal. Propaganda works, changing culture works. Prohibition does not.
I'm interested in Kubernetes the same way I'm interested in Erlang. I find distributed systems so much fun to reason about, and trying to understand certain implementation details and design choices shed a light on the reasoning of very smart people on very hard problems.

Now, would I want to deal with those technologies all day? Not really. I also like diesel electric locomotives, but I don't wanna run a fleet of them or run through their maintenance sheets.
I'm saving this comment. No Mastodon, no Facebook, no IG can beat Twitter in terms of publishing/forum/discussions. It's a worse censored-garden.
Cool, always wanted a tool to convert an angle to Fahrenheit.
Wow, another blog post on the same two changes everyone else has been talking about for two weeks, rehashing the exact same arguments.

I genuinely cannot think of a company that contributes more to open-source projects than Red Hat. They to do this through hiring hundreds of talented engineers and adhering to an incredibly generous upstream-first policy, where most of the work they do gets made available for everyone else. No matter what Linux distribution you use, you are running a huge amount of code written by Red Hat.

Unfortunately, because we don’t live in a utopia, they need to be able to pay their engineers to do this work, and clones that simply redistribute their packages pose a serious threat to their ability to do this. Previously, Red Hat went out of their way to make the exact RHEL sources available to these clones. Now, Red Hat is still publishing all the code they write through Stream, but they do not have a specific repo for the exact RHEL patch set. I don’t see how this isn’t completely reasonable.

If you led a company making a product, and were responsible for thousands of employees, and some other company simply took that product and repackaged it, released it for free, while (in the case of Rocky and Oracle) running ads to compete with you in the process, are you telling me you would go out of your way to publish the exact patchsets to a special repository to make it as easy as possible for them to do this?
We should not require it for those things either.
Synergy worked great without perceptible lag for normal desktop stuff in the late 90s (including across all the steam powered pcs in the school computer room).
They were very profitable before IBM (now i dunno if IBMs splits the accounting) so poor Redhat doesn’t make sense.

> People only have so much time, knowledge, etc

And interest.

I've had several doctoral students and teaching assistants tell me (with variations) that they aren't good in "that math stuff" and that they don't think it really matters; they are doing "best practices" in SPSS and it's much more important to look at it in a holistic way.

In theory they would be right. If the best practices were sane.

But I also think it is going to get better, only very slowly. At some point there has to be cross-pollination with other fields.
Most (I hope all) distributions already run nginx as a separate user. It's best practice.

But that won't help if you alias to "/foo/bar/www" and the the application has a SQLite database at "/foo/bar/db.db", which the nginx user has to have access to. Same if you run it in a container (or lock down permissions using systemd).

Other countries exist. You can ban something in Country A, but that won't stop it happening in Country B.

To assume that only Country C can possibly have the knowledge/skills/expertise to do cutting edge LLM work is short-sighted and hubris at its worse

I moved off of windows long before surfaces, not going back. Funny story, a few months ago we needed to setup an office windows 11 laptop (as part of a software project).

It used to be you could just boot the machine, cleanup bloatware, install some antivirus (after figuring out which one has not currently become adware), install basic applications, a copy of office, configure an email client or outlook (which is a nightmare to setup itself, with its weird mail folders that you can create but then can't delete without obscure windows voodoo because they become default windows mail folders or something...what the actual f!).

Anyway, so I give this machine to a junior dev to setup, and some time later he comes to me saying he can't even get to the desktop screen because an online windows account is needed. I think, surely this can't be true because a month earlier we had done the same thing on the same windows version, on the same laptop model. So I tried and guess what, I could not. I googled, and there were all these tricks you could try to make the "create offline account" option appear, but it never did, so I had to create a throwaway windows account, with a real email alias, go through all the "confirm your email" steps, in order to access a computer that was just purchased. I even tried removing all network access and restarting, no luck. See related rant by me here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34983448

If I could not set it up with an offline account, imagine a non techie, buys a laptop, goes somewhere with no network, tries to get work done and finds out it's impossible because of some dark pattern war that Microsoft is waging on it's customers.

So no, problem is not just hardware, or how well this one machine runs windows X, Y, or Z. It is the fact that a person can't just walk into a store, buy a windows PC that is being sold (at whatever price point) and trust that it will enable them to do work, consistently, on the short, medium and long term with little to no additional IT effort.
You may be right - I paid less attention to that era of HN.
Maybe it's specific to numbers or tech or something, but in our area fb marketplace is THE place to sell/buy used baby/kids clothes. It's mindbogglingly high traffic. Put up used but decent looking item from sought after brand and you get literally tens of requests in minutes. If you're looking to buy then good stuff is gone like in half an hour. And were not even a big city.
Well, if you don't mind your cars randomly catching fire...
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but that’s exactly how I would expect it to work and how it does work with Apple Maps and Google Maps. You can zoom at different increments than the scale label shows. Without changing the ruler size, how could this work? Am I misunderstanding you?

The upstream that is mostly Red Hat funded development?

My biggest concern is that Red Hat funds so much, so we are at the mercy of Red Hat doing well. I'd much rather an ecosystem of enterprise Linux, such as Ubuntu and SUSE rather than a pile of free Red Hat clones.
We currently don't publicly publish pay ranges (but do have these ranges "public internally"). The range depends on the seniority, and can be discussed in a first contact with us.
We do benchmark our pay ranges regularly to be competitive.

100% agree with all this, 100% not going to use this until it until it shows up on instagram.
How is it against freedom 4? You can distribute modified versions to the end of the world. You just don't get access to future modifications made by Red Hat. You are not entitled, neither legally nor morally, to Red Hat's future modifications.
That's actually worse search experience and slower because less is struggling with the amount of lines.

Nope, look at this option in the GPL:

I have a LG 38” ultrawide which I would love, except it also has this problem with specific hues. It took me a while to figure out that it was related to certain colors.

I found that if change the color profile I can mitigate the issue, but then it doesn’t look quite as nice.

On the LG, not only is there flickering but a transient burn-in which still appears when the TB cable is disconnected! It fades after a few hours.

Many owners have the same issue with their M1 devices so I assume it’s not something that is fixable.
I'm sorry but I have no sympathy. I turn down real jobs to work on my hobby. Why won't anybody pay me??

What does he expect to happen? I really don't get it. If you like to work on opensource. Sure, do your thing. But if the benefit in CV building and personal satisfaction are not enough, why don't you stop doing it?
I once was the dev lead working for a mid size non tech company. The company found the perfect product to meet their needs. It was built by an Indy developer. If we signed the contract with him, we would represent 60% of his revenue.

The director of IT and CTO were reticent to base their entire data capture system that was going to be rolled out to thousands of field workers to him.

I suggested that they only sign the contract if the developer was willing to put their entire codebase in escrow and agree that we had a non exclusive right to the code under license.

Everyone agreed and the lawyers talked and made it happen.

I led a quarterly validation of the code in escrow. He would come onsite and I would watch him download the code from the escrow company and build it from scratch and deploy it and I would do a smoke test.
I’ve never used it in the US, mainly because not many people in the US use FB so the user base for that feature would be dead. Abroad it’s pretty popular.
On french facebook there's a whole community that's actually exactly subreddits, it's called "neurchi de [...]" ("neurchi" is "chineur" reversed, which translates to "bargain hunter"). Any niche, or not niche, topic has its neurchi group that range from low hundreds to 100,000+ for some.

I am sure most at OpenAI realize that they don't have a moat[0] that will keep them ahead for an extended period of time. Being a first mover does have its advantages of course, funding and resources from MSFT also help, but if they continue to (temporarily) take away features from their paying customers, are not forthcoming with whether there have been changes to in-use models and generally make it hard to rely on and trust them to deliver a consistent service, that will further people looking for alternatives, be that other competitors[1] or local models[2]. Unless they can capture regulators in ways that would make local models impossible, they have a very narrow time window to retain a large section of the market in the medium term.

Despite their best efforts at presenting themselves as the "ethical" ones in this industry and attempts to convince governments that open/local models must be regulated[3], the only way I can see them accomplishing longer term limits on local LLMs considering the many purposes GPUs and inference accelerators can serve to the public will be hard. I have said this before, but I view this similarly to the Crypto Wars[4] or more recently Nvidia LHR[5].

I can see a Clipper Chip[6] for GPUs, that tries to limit inference to features approved for the common public, (mainly gaming focused applications like DLSS) in the near future, but I am certain that like before, where there is a 10ft wall, 12ft ladders will emerge.

Basically, OpenAI must prove able to provide a consistent service to their paying customers. Do not make changes to models in production, do not take away features, if something is down provide a timeline and deprecate or replace models in a transparent manner. When the switch from the "initial" ChatGPT model to "gpt-3.5-turbo" happened, there was a lot of confusion that could have been avoided with more transparency from the outset.

I'm afraid not. I've seen some really dumb setups of BW when helping selfhosted.

I do think that while selfhosting is admirable, in the case of your password vault, it's not. It's one thing where I'd always advice against selfhosting or DIY, because the downside risk is just too big.

The chance of fng up may be tiny, bit if you fck up, it's bad. Potentially bankruptcy or jail bad.

Anyone interested in talking about the product decisions instead of Musk/Zuck hate?

- Interesting that they went with a stand-alone app instead of baking this into IG like they did with Stories (which killed Snap overnight). I wonder how much they’ll advertise the download inside of IG.

- Can’t say I like the name. Doesn’t evoke much emotion in me. The term “thread” is rarely used by normies without the word “Twitter” in front of it. And the choice of the plural form is interesting.

- The logo looks like it belongs to an app that should start with the letter ‘a’. Confusing that they go with a t-word like Twitter but then make the logo look like a different letter. Also, no color? Will it really stay black and white or will it adopt the IG gradient?
>it's kind of a grumbling, rather than an intense dislike - a soft protest against the overwhelming political, economic and cultural power of the US relative to any individual European state or even to Europe as an aggregate of those states

As an American, that's news to me.

Most of the Europeans I've met, whether in the US, Europe or elsewhere in the world have been lovely to me.

And none of them, even the ones I didn't get on with, blamed me personally for my government's actions.

Perhaps that's because I don't metaphorically wear the US flag on my sleeve, although being an American is pretty obvious as soon as I open my mouth -- not due to what I say, but because of the accent.

Then again, some people assume that people from a certain country embody everything about that country, including the foibles, misadventures and outright evil that their government might do.

Which is small-minded and limiting, but isn't uncommon -- including among my countrymen.

And more's the pity.
No, what you said could be featured on a “open source misses the point”

All this started with a simple thing “user freedom” or “end user freedom” if you prefer.

It’s not about community or upstream, neither efficient or bug free software, rather that we as users are not helpless with some piece of code. We can inspect it, learn modify and share it, this also means we can go to anybody else for help.

None of that cares about upstream.

But that indeed includes that if I’m a customer of some company that provides me software, and its under a free software license, and they start to treat me badly, i can go and pay somebody else to help me with it

TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | REMOTE (Europe / Middle East / Africa)

TalkJS is a Chat API. It lets developers build a perfect chat feature in mere minutes. We power communication in online marketplaces, community sites, multiplayer apps, trading platforms and so on. We're product driven and we care tremendously about quality.

We're headquartered in the Netherlands and our team is spread across the Central European Timezone +/- 3h.

Currently in the market for:

* Senior Frontend Developer
* Mobile SDK Developer (iOS/Android/React Native/Flutter)
* Senior Fullstack Developer
* Senior Backend Developer
* DevRel Engineer

Our stack is mainly TypeScript, React, Elixir and PostgreSQL. 80% of the company is product people, founders are a designer and a programmer.

TalkJS touches millions of people and is growing quickly. We want to be the tool that every developer thinks of for building communication features, a bit like what Stripe is for payments.

To accomplish this, we give great engineers the maximum amount of freedom, so they can ship fantastic SDKs, APIs and features. This means a healthy work/life balance, no meetings, no red tape and a lot of responsibility. We're growing, profitable, and not dependent on venture funding. Sound good?

With no qualifications at all, I occasionally fantasize about starting my own school. One of the rules of my imaginary school is that a full 33% of the time, K through 12, is to be spent on meta-cognition. Not simply “study habits”. Mindfulness, physical education, anything that helps bring focus and motivation counts.

I find it crazy that the educational system expects children to develop in this axis on their own almost entirely because they are simply expected to do so. I went to well-regarded schools and it’s generous to say they put a minimal amount of effort into teaching us how and why to learn. A frank assessment would be that they hardly seemed aware of the topic…
Coincidentally I was looking for a solution like this earlier today and found the following:

Come up with a list of questions and topics that you need to know more about that you would ask if you had access to key people in your target market. Instead of setting up interviews and meetings, run those by chat gpt (use gpt 4 for better results).

Take the answers with a grain of salt of course but mostly you might learn a thing or two as it is trained on a wealth of published articles and market research that you'll never get around to reading even a tiny percentage off. You can even ask it to suggest some follow up reading.

I recently had to figure out the airline industry as they are a potential customer for our product. My questions related to understanding what kind of cost bottlenecks they are facing in their operations and how our product should be best positioned to address problems they have. So I simply asked chat gpt about common causes for flight delays and other cost factors, top n cost bottle necks, etc. I was able to get some very detailed insights out of it fairly quickly. So, when we did talk to our potential customer, we already knew a lot about their business.

There is a LFI vulnerability because:

/imgs../flag.txt

Transforms to:

/path/images/../flag.txt

I've only implemented a handful of HTTP servers for fun, but I've always resolved relative paths and constrained them. So I'd turn "/path/images/../flag.txt" into "/path/flag.txt", which would not start with the root "/path/images/" and hence denied without further checks.

Am I wrong, or, why doesn't nginx do this?
I don’t understand why people keep claiming that the advantages of these clones (expanding the ecosystem) outweigh the disadvantages (lost revenue) to Red Hat. Surely, RH have access to far better statistics on this issue than we do, and they have obviously concluded that this is not the case.

They don't pay me 400K (plus performance bonuses) a year to hit keys on the keyboard.

For the currencies which I am most familiar with:

* The largest 'normal' British coin is worth 2 GBP (~2.50 USD), with the smallest note (in common circulation) being 5 GBP (~6.35 USD).
* The largest Euro coin is worth 2 EUR (2.18 USD), smallest note 5 EUR (5.45 USD).

However it's becoming increasing irrelevant for me personally - on the rare occasions I'm required to pay by cash I tend to just put the change into my pocket, and deal with it when I eventually come to wash the clothes.

Making any changes to currencies at this stage in time doesn't quite feel like rearranging deck-chairs on the Titanic yet, but sounds like you could burn a lot of political will for little advantage.
