ChatGPT is the killer app. It’s a Google killer. It is better than the SEO listicle garbage filling the internet. Even if it’s not always accurate it’s still better in a lot of circumstances. There’s a reason Sundar rushed Bard out of the gate even though it is clearly inferior.
They'll come as more engineers understand how to integrate LLM tech more effectively into products.

Also, killer app: ChatGPT. Fastest growing website ever IIRC.
I'm wondering what's the word for what you're doing edgy internet guy.
I believe the suckless project is going way into the other direction. There is a reasonable middle ground of having proper, 21st century features, yet not using much more resources than needed.

Konsole, alacritty, gnome-terminal all manage to struck that niche well.
I believe that you can echo the '.dump' command to SQLite.

echo .dump | sqlite3 db | ssh user@rsync.net "dd of=db_dump"

It worked for me.

Aren't classic contrived examples fine? "Jim has five apples then eats three..." Trying to make examples 'relevant to students' sounds like a recipe for cringe to me; adults who can do that effectively seem few and far between. "Jim catches 5 pokemans with his nintendo, then loses 3, how many pokemans does Jim have?"

Maybe that's a bit unfair, I guess they mean to do things like "Due to global warming, the ocean level rises 5mm per year, how much will it have risen in..." Teaching arithmetic framed in the context of climate science or something. Still, it seems hamfisted and cringe.
We are building autonomous heavy construction machinery based on almost a decade of research from ETH Zurich. Automating an industry that has seen little disruption in the last 50 years and suffers a labour shortage is the perfect opportunity.

Every cancer eventually kills the host so either people figure out how to be less cancerous or we die out from drowning in the byproducts of our metabolic processes just like yeast drown in alcohol.

The AI doomers can continue worrying about technological progress if they want, the actual problems are unrelated to how much money and effort OpenAI is spending on alignment because their corporate structure requires that they continue advancing AI capabilities in order to exploit the digital commons as efficiently as possible.
Shit. I make sure that I'm able to unlock almost these badges. =))

This is coming so fast and absolutely no one is ready for it. LLM, using text, audio, and video generation will quickly convince a sizeable slice of religious people that it’s the coming of God a la Revelations, they are prophets, and there’s bidding to do.
> CEO openly says AI will cause the loss of “millions of jobs”.

My partner let go two people and replaced them with ChatGPT. No joke.

It can accelerate many business tasks e.g. copywriting, customer service, proof-reading, product design exploration, marketing campaigns etc.

And its ability to do all of this in multiple languages and in different tones can be a really big deal for some businesses.
Damn. Well then, "The Undependables” it is.

The notes are all in markdown stored on your disk. IMO that is more important than the app source code being open. I can easily take my data and write another app.

GDPR was not designed to target service providers providing a data service storing and processing data that the customer explicitly contracted for. That would be under data processing which has different rules.

Unless the guarantee was for Evernote to hold this data for 100 years irrespective of what the customer wishes and for example after the customer has ended their contract for the service, this angle doesn't apply.
There has been quite a bit of effort in improving regex performance in .NET in the last few years. Stephen Toub has a few interesting (and long) articles:

• https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/regex-performance-impr...

• https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/regular-expression-imp...

From what I remember, there are a bunch of distinct optimizations:

• transforming the regex into a functionally equivalent one with atomic groups to prevent backtracking when it's statically known that backtracking cannot change the result (but the runtime)

• diverting most parts of the actual search to string.IndexOf, IndexOfAny, etc. methods that have been heavily vectorized

• trying to find clever ways in using said methods in finding good starting our continuation points for the match and matching either backwards or forwards as needed to retain most of the vectorized searching benefits with as little unnecessary backtracking as possible (e.g. /a+b/ will likely generate code to search for b and then match backwards instead of trying to find every a and continuing forwards from there)

I guess most of those ideas are neither new nor uncommon (especially in faster engines where I think they take inspiration from), but compared to a rather similar language .NET has quite an edge by now.
If you turn that judgemental eye on your own post I'm sure you'll be able to see which internet stereotypes you're conforming to and why it's being downvoted into oblivion.

Ask HN: How to ensure correct access across all SaaS services
Here's the problem, whenever I get onboarded to a new team, it's an endless stream or asking someone to be added to this other GHE repository, get access to a specific Jira board or be added to the correct AAD group so I can access the K8s namespaces.

SSO only makes sure I have an identity in each of these. But granting access to all the various things any team member needs requires the identity to be added to (tool specific) groups/teams/whatever. It seems all the companies large and small I have worked for so far rely on peers or managers to maintain this manually. What better options have you seen?
This would be in line with my thoughts.

Of course, my off-hand comment is just an exercise rather than an objective measurement. It'd only suffice for trivial examples (say, where X is a strict subset of Y).
My resentment toward Red Hat is really about the impact they've had on other distributions. Red Hat has a very specific vision of how they want Linux to be, and are successful in convincing other distros of adopting it. It's a vision I personally hate, so in my view, Red Hat is ruining Linux for me.

So I resent them. It's the resentment of personal loss, not some grand philosophical stance.
You're describing places with even lower trust in the sellers than Amazon.
Thank you for the kind Advice. I will do that post work :) However I want to get opinions on which Programming language to focus for getting work in backend done with speed and performance.
Maybe, depends how much biz/dev and domain expertise is needed. Either way, I don't understand the complaints. OpenAI isn't going to steal your crappy webapp.

I think we're just scratching the surface of apps. As we figure out how to integrate this technology in novel ways (not just "here's my app + AI!!!!"), it will open new doors.

Shameless self-promotion, I'm trying to build some of those intermediary pieces. I have authored an open source library[1] that lets businesses externalize LLMs to their users, so that users can use natural language to query their data in your database. The goal is to try to simplify UIs to have more natural language components, without needing to send your data to an LLM.

If I can ask, what is Paperless? Google is strangely unhelpful.
This. Also, quiz yourself about the system, maybe allocate 15mins just for that a day. Why do we need X? How are these parts connected? Are there connections that are different? Why?

Additionally, try to deeply understand the business logic. As a former dev who currently works on product, I'm often surprised how long it takes for developers to come up with solutions, which I can generate on the spot. I tend to believe there's no difference in technical skill, I just have a lot more context knowledge about what the system is supposed to do, making me more confident and thus faster in making technical decisions, despite having spent only a comparatively tiny fraction of time in the code base.
^ this.

I remember having a conversation with a cryptothusiast who said to me "If it's on chain, it's fair game". I had to have the "no dude, we have laws about things like market abuse. You might not know about them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist..." chat
In a way, the drama at twitter helped meta to successfully relaunch threads. Without musk, there is no mastodon and no threads
So are there production ready frameworks for GO Lang? I want to go with Rust and Ziglang, but they are still alpha/beta there is no production release for either of them. Please correct me if I am wrong, I have limited knowledge and it may be outdated as well.
You can also use resistive heating (like baseboard heating or space heaters) as a backup for the heat pump when it's too cold out. They're expensive to run off the grid, but if you have solar power and battery storage (for operation at night), they're essentially "free".

Obviously you wouldn't install solar panels and a battery just for this, otherwise it's very much not free, and probably a lot more expensive than burning gas. But if you already have the solar+battery install, and have enough capacity, it could even be cheaper to operate than a gas furnace.
Who hasn't been hurted by threads? lol
I use cryptomator and store my notes on Github (encrypted)
sqlite3 my_database .dump | gzip -c | ssh foo "dd of=db_dump"

Technically .backup is better because it locks less and batches operations, rather than doing a bunch of selects in a transaction. Do you prefer slowly filling up local disk or locking all writes?
If you are okay with rclone (and do have vps/server/whatever somewhere) then Syncthing is the thing to do that.

To which fundamentals are you referring?

If you factor in production, transmission, and combustion, tank cycling, and failure modes, is it still superior?
I recently picked up Svelte and Sveltekit, and when discussing `+page.server.js` files, I usually say they're "code-behind from the old days."
I felt like I wasn't going to write this comment again, but here we go:

I don't like the word enshittification. People glom onto it because they like shaking sticks more than solving problems, and Corey Doctorow is excellent at exploiting that desire. It's annoying how he enables that sense of defeatism when he's obviously aware of resilient and game-changing alternative software (like FOSS) that has revolutionized the world in his lifetime. Putting pearls before swine makes for nice fiction, but it's a bad tool for explaining real life phenomena like this.

"Enshittification" is a very fun and usable thesis. It also obfuscates the problem and fetishizes it's own victimhood instead of enabling users to resist lock-in.
That's interesting, what makes you say that? Everyone I have talked to in the New Zealand education system has seemed to me to be genuinely trying to get the best outcomes for students, given the constraints imposed by pretty severely limited resources and the challenges imposed by out-of-school circumstances.

We have a pretty decent history of being relatively early adopters of evidence-based changes to our education system in New Zealand. That's reflected in, for example, the high desirableness of New Zealand-trained educators in the prestigious international-school circuit.

What do you think the politics is pushing for?
It's a shame there isn't any support for coroutines. I'm really hoping some profiling tool that comes along to handle them + threads/processes.
> Where are the killer apps?

Even though it is just a bare kernel (LLM), GPT-4 is a better teacher than any I've ever had. Who can I ask at 3AM on a Saturday night to explain ancient Greek philosophy using dwarf fortress mechanics? And iterate with infinite patience and focus on any follow up questions?
I think, in general, you can always file a chargeback if you're prepared for the possibility of losing access to your account and data.
Yeah, trusting a cryptocurrency exchange. It's like when people buy drugs and are shocked, shocked that they've been cut with something.
For me it was doing nand2tetris.

With just NAND gates and D flip flops as primitives, building a full 16bit ALU, then an ISA for it, an assembler, compiler, operating system (with memory mapped keyboard and screen) and interpreter. Then writing a Sudoku game in that interpreted language, and seeing it reduce all the way to just bits. And then running it on the simulated computer.

Really have a holistic view of what actually happens when I run a computer. Also demystified compilers for me.

Second thing was learning concurrency control, transactions and all that. The Eureka moment for me was understanding that git and databases solve a similar problem. After that, both tools lost their mystery.

Second last but not least, making web apps! A low entry barrier way to make things anyone can use really boosted my confidence.

Last but not least, learning the statistical underpinnings of machine learning.

Of course, I'm still in University so I am by no means an expert at any of the above, but even at my level these things really help with knowing your true place.

Maybe I have simple needs, but iOS notes does everything I want.

1. Instantly synced between all computers and devices (yes I know I need to be in the Mac/iPhone ecosystem, but I happen to be in that anyway)

2. Create folders

3. Paste images

4. Fonts/bullets etc.

Apparently that's all I need. Anything else is a hindrance.
Statistically it will be higher by definition because market abuse is one of the mechanisms that con artists use to get a hype cycle going. So I would think that from that it follows that if there is a hype cycle it has a higher-than-normal probability to have been generated by market abuse.

The most basic form of this is the "pump and dump" but there are a lot of others. In the crypto world it seems wash trading backwards and forwards to generate volume and inflate perception of market price has been endemic for some time.
its not like btc could ever hope to manage the actual real transaction volume if those exchanges weren't virtual buckets, not to mention the massive fees involved.

Multi-body organisms have also independently evolved - bees, termites, ants, wasps.
to be fair, practicing is a pretty essential component to learning a new language. "increasing engagement" also means more practice. Its not an entirely selfish motivation.
That’s a very sizable percentage of all of its users, so it’s a bit like saying that apple is technically not a majority, so it not being good at X is not a big deal.

Don’t get me wrong, I say that as someone who likes Mastodon and many of its ideas. My only gripe is a lack of focus on privacy - the fediverse makes everything overly public.
I'd say it is often part of the enshittification process, but also something that can exist outside of it.
IIRC, a lot of that was enabled (at least in the US) by the wider-scale rollout of 3g and smartphones. Before that, not only did few people have smartphones (uber initially had both a website and phone number you could contact to get a ride for at least a few years), but even metropolitan service areas were too spotty for near-realtime apps to work effectively.
Oh yeah I was on mobile. You're saying the solution for now is to try this on desktop and look for the button?
I use a similar method, but implemented in iOS reminders. I have different lists for the different categories. And now with a smart list I have created a category/list "this week" that lists actionable items with a due date within the next 7-days. [1] This is loosely based on GTD [2]

This was featured in an issue of Harvard Negotiation Law Review a while back. It states that (paraphrasing) that "If a party is concerned that they will suffer due to arbitration, then it can fail to pay the arbitrator. Tben the arbitrartor will report to the judge that the arbitration failed, and the judge will declare a mustrial." Note that the judge is not privy to the arbitration. Arbitration is agreed to by the parties, and then the judge orders ths parties into arbitration. IANAL
There's a great tech writing book called Every Page is Page One[1] that changed how I write docs. Its primary conceit is basically what you've described: every single doc needs to immediately orient its reader, either with an intro paragraph or seamless hyperlinks to relevant background material (or, ideally, both). If the reader lands on a page that isn't right for them, it's the writer's job to leave a trail of breadcrumbs that leads them where they need to go.

To grossly oversimplify, the EPPO page structure is almost like a Wikipedia article. Imagine you end up on the page for, idk, anthrax. If you already know a bit about yucky diseases and want to learn more, you'll read on. If you get a couple paragraphs in and you're like "wait, what exactly is a bacterium?", you can click the hyperlink to the relevant article about bacteria. And if you actually wanted to read about the metal band, there's an escape hatch to redirect you to the correct location.

Probably the most important research resource for any underground metal fan. The settler of many arguments. The ability to follow links from band members to their other projects is incredible, like an internet version of looking at the shout-outs in album liner notes for mentioned bands as hints at who to check out next.
That was my plan; install solar panels and then slowly switch things from gas to electric as they need replacement. Unfortunately solar installer I was in contract with canceled on me for seemingly-bogus reasons, and I didn't have time to find a new one before California's new, unfavorable net metering rules went into effect.

Can you share what jobs those people performed?
I think OP is probably miscategorizing him. Randall Munroe (xkcd) is still in his 30s and is a millenial, while Cory Doctorow is in his 50s.

Are there some xkcd comics that were somewhat fringe or haven't aged as well as one would hope? Sure. But if OP is complaining about grown men in their 30s acting like they're trying to impress college friends, well, Randall was in college when he started writing xkcd.

At any rate, Cory Doctorow is a professional spokesperson and spends his life doing ideological marketing. Coining a more memorable term like "enshittification" that clearly gets more mindspace and traction than something like "regression" is just an example of him doing his job properly.
I am very much enjoying the ui, and feel like twitter is killing it's network effect while this is doing the opposite for now. This won't be the end of twitter, not globally. Some say Pepsi was the best thing to ever happen to Coca-cola.
In California you can record without consent if you have reasons to suspect a crime is going to be committed. It's not the most straightforward thing to get away with and you should work with a lawyer before you do it to be sure it will be accepted as evidence, but you can totally do it.
There was a good article in the Washington Post, discussed on HN a week or two ago (would have to do some searching), about people who have already lost their jobs due to ChatGPT.

Copywriting is definitely going to get decimated. Other jobs, like medical transcription, were already on the way out due to speech recognition tech even before generative AI blew up. And before people make "buggy whip manufacturer" arguments, the sheer pace of tech advancement is making wider sections of the populace unemployable faster than new job areas open up. I definitely think AI will cause the loss of millions of jobs, regardless of whether this particular CEO is running his company poorly.

If someone gets angry about a badge in an app, it seems like they have a deeper issue to deal with.
The actual content of your notes (we call them cards) is Markdown and is stored as such, but the source-of-truth for the notes themselves is our servers (not in the file-system), as our priority is providing a seamless experience on all your devices (or anywhere with a web connection), so the app was actually originally built to be "online-only". It's become much more offline-friendly over the years (your entire card collection actually is stored on your system for offline use / search is entirely offline / etc) but offline is still not 100% there yet, which is what the upcoming 3.0 release will enable.

Within the app we provide comprehensive export options[1] (you can export as markdown or as the actual JSON representation of a card that we use under-the-hood).

We also have a public API[2] that allows you to do whatever you want with your cards at any time with an API key. Currently the docs for this are still only an OpenAPI spec (and not an entirely complete one at that), but again that is something we are improving with the 3.0 release / subsequent releases.

So I wouldn't really describe ours as a closed system in the sense that Evernote was. In the case that Supernotes is ever acquired / shutdown / other black swan event for users, you should just be able to dump your cards into something like Obsidian and it will work pretty well, as we almost entirely respect the CommonMark spec.

If anything, phone OSs at least have a semblance of security and privacy. Something desktop OSs sorely lack.
Genetic modifications could potentially cause havoc in the long run as well, but it's much more likely we have time to detect and thwart their threats. The major difference is speed.

Even if we knew how to create a new species of superintelligent humans who have goals misaligned with the rest of humanity, it would take them decades to accumulate knowledge, propagate themselves to reach a sufficient number, and take control of resources, to pose critical dangers to the rest.

Such constraints are not applicable to superintelligent AIs with access to the internet.
Ah, that would explain it. I've run into three fairly major bugs in about as many weeks. It's like they're not doing regression testing at all, and rather than fixing bugs, they just keep rushing out new "features".

Problem is nothing else fits my workflow as well as Evernote does, but looks like I likely won't have a choice. Guess it's time to give Joplin a try.
