Iirc they had to lobby college board to change the rules to allow colored screens on exams since the black and white screen was more expensive than the colored ones since no one made the black and white ones anymore

I'd be open to allowing smartphones/tablets on all tests so long as there's no internet. Note taking is more important then ever imo, and knowing how to apply things rather than doing he computational machinery in your head is the more valuable skill to spend time developing (not that we shouldn't teach mental computation at all, just de focus it)
Is that you watching the YouTube video?

I'd say even Vulkan alone is sufficient to cover Windows.

The main benefit of DirectX 11 is that it's a lot simpler for the developer. But when you are creating an abstraction layer for multiple APIs, you are not the target audience for a simple to use graphics API.

IIRC Doom Eternal only supports Vulkan (on PC) and that didn't really cause problems. In fact, the game's performance was superb.

Others have pointed out that it needs trimming down, but I think it’s just clumsy all the way through. I’d recommend getting a copy editor to do a pass on it. What you’ve got so far is a great starting point for them because you’ve already decided what you want to say and where, and they’ll be able to reduce the copy, make things clearer, make sentences read and parse more easily, and reduce that clumsiness.

Also be careful when copying the new text back into the site, I saw a few errors that look like they’re from copy/pasting out of a document into a site backend.

Also for the love of god ditch webflow.
Unmasking the BlackByte Ransomware Attack: A Comprehensive Case Study
I genuinely can't tell what you are saying.

I don't know if you are mocking people who speak like this and satirising their beliefs that drugs are harmless, or if you genuinely speak like this and are mocking the people who wish to criminalize drugs.

Anyway, it's just more evidence for my campaign to criminalize sarcasm and get its users rousted and smacked by police.
I was a bit puzzled to see parentheses around the return values

return (NULL);

and so on; I found an old SO question on exactly that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/161879/
I guess less idyllic view, and more idyllic experience. I was fortunate to find like-minded folk in my class, and fortunate enough to have faculty that allowed us mere undergrads access to equipment "beyond our pay grade".

Obviously the bulk of the class was there to pass, maybe 10% of us pushed the limits, learning the craft beyond the carricilum. We were probably 10 folk or so from a class of over 100.

It was perhaps easier in my day - we had labs with machines no person owned. So you could spend time in the lab beyond the necessary, and the others would be there too.

I imagine today there's less shared working space like that, but hopefully there are still ways to find like-minded souls.

Self learning is great, and we all do that a lot now, but I've been fortunate to find others in my work community who still enjoy sharing, learning, and teaching. Its a bit less lonely that way, and none of us have all the answers.
The best thing about the Dirty Feed blog is that it shows just how fragile history is.

We're talking about stuff that happened in the last few decades - and yet people's recollections are faulty, the documentation is inconsistent, and the contemporary commentary is already wrong.

Now extrapolate that back a hundred years. What conventionally accepted history is wrong? What cause and effects have been mixed up?

Popular culture isn't always well researched - and John shows just how difficult it is.
Can you share some of the articles you mentioned about ITA Software's Lisp code?
re: 3 - It may be true that google has a white paper describing the impact of api speed on retention. But beware, your users will need to have experienced this pain themselves, not theoretically, for them to be interested. They will need to have identified that latency (or churn - what is the actual problem you’re solving for users, that their api is slow out that they have churn?) is a problem that they want to solve right this second.

Make the value proposition extremely clear, and try to really help the user focus on a pain they have right now and that you can solve it.
Yes, lived in Glasgow for 10 years so it’s one of my favourites.
This mod doesn't give up its secrets easily. I ended up using that video as a guide to figure out what I missed. It wasn't ideal but it worked out. I wish HN had a spoiler tag so I could gab about this in more detail!

I bought House of Leaves and am on the third chapter. It tells a very different story. MyHouse.wad is certainly inspired by it but they're completely different.
I've always been hesitant about adopting frameworks, and I still favor Flask over Django. Yet, I spent a couple of years in a Go-centric department where the senior members were so against using frameworks that we ended up building everything ourselves from scratch. This included creating our own load-balancer, event store, and aggregation engine.

When I attempted to point out that we were investing substantial time solving problems that have already been resolved, I was invariably met with references to "frameworks" and "complexity". However, in my perspective, our reluctance to utilize frameworks led to an inflated team size, slower development cycles, and a lengthy onboarding process for new members.

I believe that if we had chosen to use industry-standard tools for our backend & infra (e.g. Kafka, Kubernetes, Apache Beam/Spark streams), we might have had to deal with a higher degree of complexity, but it would have been manageable. I would much prefer to diagnose issues with a Kubernetes deployment than to debug obscure panic-inducing code written by a colleague, which is questionably designed and lacks readily available support.

One of the main advantages of using a framework is standardization: thanks to tools like git, we don't need to familiarize ourselves with every company's unique version control tool. Similarly, if everyone agrees on using Kubernetes and Docker, we can eliminate the need to learn each company's specific deployment process. This would allow us to dedicate more time to providing actual business value, rather than contemplating how our code should be transitioned into production.

As for the department - it just got shutdown due to not making enough money and costing too much.
But that’s part of the point: ChatGPT is so hyped it bends perception. The OP article after all quoted a Google employee who has nothing to do with ChatGPT.
To be clear, robots.txt is not legally binding, Google is not bound to follow it, and in fact I believe that Google doesn't follow it and hasn't for a very long time, for the simple reason that many sites' robots.txt file is wrong.

The intent of robots.txt is to help crawlers, for example, to keep crawlers from getting stuck in a recursive loop of dynamic pages, or from crawling pages with no value. robots.txt is not for banning, restricting, or hindering crawlers.
Sure, generally speaking. Is that true for static, fixed parameter count LLMs like GPT4?

I think you're hand waving a lot just to claim that OpenAI are (somehow) reducing accuracy of their models during high load. And I'm not sure why.
I have a pet theory that all humans spend roughly 30% of their disposable income on status products. And that there's no way to escape this. No matter how hard you try.

If you escape spending at LVMH you'll spend it on cars, indie brands or ascetic holidays. Keep going and your money will go towards pseudo-educational leisure activities that make a social statement like submarine exploration or building web apps in Ocaml.
a few things:

1) illegal drugs are still illegal, just like now.

2) the quality of the illegal drugs rise significantly if sourced from reliable, regulated manufactures

3) the "blood" cost of production drops precipitously

4) the end user cost drops as well.

Now without support, those addicted will still flounder. However they won't need to do as much crime to fund it (much better for society, worse for the individual)
Brings unfond memories of when openai spammed everything under the sun to promote their little chatbot.
Yup that’s why I like babylonjs. It’s not so much good documentation but that the docs try hard to have working codepen style examples for almost everything you can think of doing with it. Code as documentation. Contrast with a lot of python docs where you usually get a docpage telling you what the arguments are and the return type but nothing else.

Frankly, this concern is massively overblown by people looking for an excuse to replace cryptography with government identity papers.
There are the same number of mentally unwell people. Mental illness typically follows normal distributions sans PTSD in war torn countries. The difference is the approach. Most European countries use a carrot and stick approach. There are no laws guaranteeing the homeless the right to live on the sidewalk, as there is in California. They can be fined or arrested here in Denmark for doing that. Ditto for begging. So they don’t congregate in large numbers in cities and there are no tents. Further, drug possession and distribution is prosecuted. The penalties are scary enough for the hard drugs to discourage broad use.

That’s the stick. The carrot is a generous welfare system which isn’t afraid of invasive intervention. Those deemed a danger to others or themselves can be detained for treatment. Involuntary commitment has virtually disappeared in many US states. Mental health treatment is also free, so there isn’t a barrier to access (though lately it has become harder to access treatment which isn’t considered acute).

As the poster above said, the hype may not be organic, so I wouldn’t expect communities to be talking about threads. The media might be all the source of the hype.
What a wild thread. Author claims to be in they mid 30s, then says they wrote JS since the 90s (back when they were what, less than 10 years old?) then uses LinkedIn connections with lawyers to make a point.

So weird. This reads like a thread between two bots trained with content from chats between 12 years old pretending to be adults.

Thank you for posting it though, it was an amusing read.
Is Portugal actively promoting drug use?
This was a fun read for sure. I wasn't expecting to find comedy in HN.
Those are cool use cases! PDFs with text should work. Maybe I should try and index my download folder too :-).
What about the other quotes from the article that have nothing to do with funding...

> “When you first back off enforcement, there are not many people walking over the line that you’ve removed. And the public think it’s working really well,” said Keith Humphreys, former senior drug policy adviser in the Obama administration and a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University. “Then word gets out that there’s an open market, limits to penalties, and you start drawing in more drug users. Then you’ve got a more stable drug culture, and, frankly, it doesn’t look as good anymore.”

> Of two dozen street people who use drugs and were asked by The Post, not one said they’d ever appeared before one of Portugal’s Dissuasion Commissions, envisioned as conduits to funnel people with addiction into rehab.

And in Oregon...

> extremely few people are seeking voluntary rehabilitation. Meanwhile, overdoses this year in Portland, the state’s largest city, have surged 46 percent.

Why fund services that go unused?...Tent cities don't exist solely in places without access to housing, and giving an addict 4 walls and privacy is a death sentence.

To compare to a time when slaves were near, surely we must add our poor regions, where people work in mines and factories for us, to our life expectancy. Otherwise we are as much comparing Modern Capitalism to feudalism, etc.

> It’s been mostly acceptable, but a few months ago the Android client started mangling emails – if I hit “send” too soon, it would send out only part of what I’d typed; I had to wait 10 seconds or so after I finished typing before hitting send to be sure it sent.

Oh my God, i thought it was just me! I've had multiple emails to doctors and financial advisors get cut off this way when i clearly remember typing the whole thing out and i was honestly wondering if all the medications I'm on (for cancer) were causing me to have brief hallucinations while sending emails or something like that.

Clearly he's hoping John Titor shows up and offers to exchange priceless insights about the future in exchange for access to the code in order to repair some weird embedded system in the far future. :)

More seriously, its not uncommon for people to have unrealistic expectations of the value of the things they've collected. They liked them enough to collect them, after all. People seeking them out might help cement the inflated valuation.

The sad thing is that when people die the people that inherit the assets often see no value in them at all and lose or discard them.
True, but seeing others exercise it can release it in you as well.

College does not "give" you anything. It never has. All it has to offer is opportunities for you to "take". You get out of college what you explicitly "take" from it. You can class through taking and passing classes, or you can actively search out every possible opportunity, stretch every boundary, suck every bit of marrow from the bone.

Ultimately college can be a time-passing exercise in fruitless make-work. Or it can be the foundation to an amazing career. Only you can determine which it is though, not yhe College itself.
Yes, I'm aware that this is impossible in plane 432. This is part of the framing of Palima as some kind of programming/SRE god that is able to do things previously thought impossible. It's fiction, belief can be suspended just that little bit.
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but seeing open-source used in the description made me think you were using or providing an openly available LLM in addition to the chat/search features. Instead it seems this is "merely" (I don't mean to undermine the level of effort involved) using OpenAI's GPT-4 API for its LLM.

This sort of reek of a growth mindset where you are using "open-source" for the purposes of looking cool and gaining users, but you are in fact trying to grow as quickly as possible to prove to investors that they should fund you for your next round.

I have no reason to believe that's the case for you in particular; just letting you know that some people may perceive things that way. Maybe you could make it clearer that it is a GPT-4 frontend of sorts?
Quite cool! It looks like this tool is oriented around ephemeral sessions, while Khoj is meant to be personal and local to you.

Also, the jump to the highest "staircase" will be cheesed by most players after they fail the running jump. I think cheese is fine, but not this early in the game.

Getting pushed by the blocks, notably off the ⅃ in the test world (reminds me of swimming in Dire, Dire Docks where you clip the floor while swimming and get pushed forward) looks like you can gain half a block with a perfect hit

Related in the test world you can jump the whole way on the floor without having to run under the ⅃, the easiest way to see this is line the ⅃ up so it's touching the right end of your monitor (maybe a little off the monitor if you can't get it) then jump twice towards it and you will clip through.
Talk is cheap. Executing a complex product like the Switch is difficult.

My guess is that 99% of the people posting here can’t even envision the product that comes after the Switch and makes such a large impact. And they did not envision the Switch either. Even though now it seems obvious because someone more creative already did it.

There’s an easy way to prove me wrong. Create the next Switch and become a billionaire. It’s that easy.
"The way we see it, building in the open is going to be critical for creating an aligned, trustworthy AI assistant."

Isn't this service just a very thin wrapper around chat-gpt? How on earth do you have any influence on alignment or trustworthiness. That's like saying your coffee cup makes your coffee fair trade.

This whole thread is very disingenuous, it's literally a simple interface for the OpenAI-API drenched in fake buzzwords boosted to the top of HN to scam investors.

That's a bit scary to me, that we count on technology so much that we doubt our mental health when the tech goes sideways.
I think the visual effects made a huge difference. The practical effects were good enough to be impressive and believable. But also some placed limits on the craziness of the story. Modern VFX has just destroyed that balance.
It likely won't stop but the market is going to become much smaller for anyone doing business with those nations. The manufacturer would either have to change their process, go bankrupt, or at least see profits cut by a huge margin.
My point is that these analogies fail to capture the actual reality of AI products and they relationship with source content.

The source content is part of the AI product. There is no AI product without the source content.

This is not you going to a store and see what they sell and adjust your offering. You have no offering without the original store’s content.
I'm currently finishing up working on the 2nd big DARPA grant in my career, as an engineer in one of the labs that got paid money to do the work. DARPA funds a lot of "pie in the sky" ideas where the work is super exploratory in the beginning, which is cool because we get to conduct a lot of basic research and try out weird ideas.

Like someone else said, timelines are tight, budgeting is a mess, and every phase you have to continue to justify your team's existence to bureaucrats or you get cut. The updates are in presentation form as well, but you have to abandon the "show don't tell" because the presentation is sent out to a bunch of people that don't attend the meetings afterward.

Overall it's a lot of money to work on cool stuff but I'm happy I'm not managing any of it.
I completely agree that a bit of discipline does wonders. But it is not just your discipline, it is the team's discipline.

What I need to ensure is that anyone picking up a piece of analysis 3 months later can reproduce exactly what was done. I've been burnt in the past by having to go back to the original analyst and be told "oh you run this bit of this notebook, then paste the results in over here, then run that". By insisting that everything is scripted and that there are no manual steps, we get a reproducible analytics pipeline.

The starting point for our methodology is the book "Guerilla Analytics" by Enda Ridge. It's worth reading.

> In his book Disgusting Bliss: The Brass Eye of Chris Morris, Lucian Randall says that the pilot of The Day Today was “completed in January 1993”. I can independently verify this; the VT clock for that pilot is dated 29th January 1993. So the pilot for The Day Today was shot in either December 1992 or January 1993. Which gives us a rough date for this particular limbo incarnation of Partridge.

Where does "December 1992" come from in this sentence? Is there a specific reason why it couldn't be October or November 1992?

(I mean, maybe it's just common sense that a programme wouldn't take that long to shoot, but I feel like the author is more confident than that given the rigorousness displayed throughout the rest of the article.)

Both Android and iOS has embraced AI from time. From assistant to power management, typing, Camera AI is being used. Images processing by AI can already capture photos as good as DSLR.
