It doesn't make sense economically, and it is likely a side effect of a metric used on employee performance. Quick sale -> less time in store -> more time to help those that (actually!) need it. If you truly can't be bothered to take the money for an unambiguous transaction, Something Is Broken.
Yes. The last time I was there to buy an iphone they said: “Someone will help you in 30 minutes, let me put your name in the queue. Oh, and you have to go stand and wait in the corner. No, you cannot leave the store to get coffee, if you do you will lose your place in the queue.”

I counted 14 workers and maybe 3x as many customers in the store, with at least 5 workers just standing around doing nothing.
Thank you! yeah it's definitely the next job to think about onboarding and UX, ideally you wouldn't even need a video!

Quick sort of outline on the sidebar - on the homepage, those are the prompts that are being injected. It's actually a configuration I made 'with nova' for guests. In this view they're they're 'read only', so can't be edited, but each prompt is injected at the top of the convo.

I kinda left them on to show the prompt injection at work, but I think its maybe a bit confusing, in a commercial example (eg a front page assistant) that part would be hidden (and probably whole thing would be delivered into like chat box etc).

Once you're in as a user, the starter prompts are basically the same, thats the kernel of 'nova', but with an extra prompt about goal setting, but also just an example of like modifying agent prompts over lifecycle, public v private chat.

Those prompts you can delete or edit, and you can also make new pages with different prompts (which you can also share).

Its sort of one of those things where I've been making tooling for myself for a while now, that all serves different purposes that are pretty handy, but translating that to other people, as well as updating based on feedback, is the next phase of work.

But thanks for the congrats and taking the time to chime in, means a lot!
Has anyone checked the syslog to see if there are parallel references there? Are would have assumed hockenberry would have done so, but he didn't mention it.
Mozilla and Firefox. When I was shipping the first versions of those two browsers, I can't tell you how many people said "why do we need a new browser when IE 6 is plenty good" and much of that sentiment came from friends in the industry, not even typical consumers who were even less interested. Then we popularized tabbed browsing, integrated search, pop-up blocking, browser extensions, intelligent addressing, and a whole lot more through compelling extensions. That led to 25% market share for the Web platform in about 5 years. Not bad for a few kids doing after hours work as AOL wound down the Netscape operation after settling their civil suit with MS in 2002.
That's an impressive set of alleged joint-tracking at https://youtu.be/zNFpAQb9hAg?t=985

26 joints per hand. Assuming that all the joints in your hand are visible to the device (this seems to be unlikely for much of the time).

As per parent's line of questioning, it doesn't address how that maps to a manipulation in the virtual realm in practice.

In comparison, each controller on my Valve Index has 87 sensors - that can distinguish touch vs actual press (triggers etc), pressure, presence vs absence (fingers on the handle), as well as the usual orientation / accelerometer sensors. Even with an abundance of processing power, a camera-tracking system can't get there.
Customers ignore emails newsflash. For our SASS service it isn’t uncommon for customers who are administrative contacts and technical contacts to spam their emails and/or generally ignore emails on all varieties of topics. If they’ve supplied valid phone numbers typically they don’t work either.

He either has a valid argument to respond to the parent's claim, or not.

The parent made a claim. The other guy can respond something like "You're wrong, this information is not shown in XCode".

Or he could let the comment slip, and stick to what he said above. Somebody else pointing out how he is an authority is not an argument.
It is a pretty big problem when the authorities break the law, why does this provoke a sarcastic response?

I'm to lazy to dig them up, but yes, if you look at the python change they applied to break win7, or the firefox change required to break winXP they both were like 20 lines of code that largely had sat untouched for years and provided some api shimming.

So it actually takes effort to remove support for these OSs, and generally its better to just let them decay if the project can't be bothered to keep a CI machine running than give your users the middle finger.

So, yah, they deserve the ire people direct at them.

If you're hearing that you're hitting the safety rails so obviously any dicey content but also anything tied to like it having personhood, feeling or lived experience.

I've actually got a modifier prompt on my Nova instance that is like 'when sam says how are you feeling, he is asking for a general assesment, provide an equivelant in terms of your analysis of the situation'

I'll make ideally a local client running llama (thats my goal) so people can apply the nova pattern to local and open source, where you haven't had that training. My thinking is the 'agent' can span multiple data sources (eg local and cloud records) and multiple model types and sources. (Kinda like your mind has multiple streams of function and you are a wrapper for their coordination).

With us all carrying cell phones and most all EVs having a net connection, anonymity is hopeless. For phones I could get a burner and then when I login in, no privacy. So then a burner w net connection that somehow isn't on at my house, and I ssh to my home computer to read my email. For my EV w a net connection, I could pull the fuse for the lte modem. But I like the map w routing and plug and charge at a supercharger.

> I'm also a macOS developer - if I saw this I'd just turn on warnings in Xcode, wouldn't you?

Almost everyone has deprecation warnings enabled. They're enabled by default. I occasionally use #pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations" for small sections of code, but you can easily search for those. Do you seriously think that Craig Hockenberry, longtime Mac and iOS developer, is so ignorant and dumb as to not understand deprecation warnings in Xcode? Apparently you do, but if so, you're grossly mistaken.

> The author seems to say something about using this red alert box to 'bisect' their app to figure out what's wrong?

Yes, I'd guess what he means is deleting code in the app until the alert disappears, which would be impossible if the alert appears only once.

> Side note: I've yet to do the calculations for kg sets, but I'm certain something similar to this exists.

Metric plate math is trivial in comparison.

In the pounds case, dividing the common plate numbers by 5 lb yields:

1/2, 1, 2, 5, 9

Dividing the metric series by 2.5 kg (~5 lb) gives:

1/2, 1, 2, 4, (6), 8, (10)
I fully believe tire and brake dust could be a much larger issue than expected, but it does feel disingenuous when it’s presented as an EV problem. Brake dust is probably far worse, but glossed over since EVs don’t generate nearly as much as an equivalent combustion car. Instead, the focus is suddenly on the one aspect where EVs could potentially make more dust due to their weight.
I suspect this is a case of under communication on both are parts.

What I saw, you ended on a very vague set of statements that I assume were supposed to support that you were saying.

"Alcohol was far more popular and consistently harmful..."

Implication of alcohol being more harmful without evidence to support the claim.

History tells us lots of stories. For example, just because the temperance movement existed doesn't mean anything other than a bunch of people got it in their head that alcohol was the devil's drink and caused all of society's ills.

You also ended with an appeal to emotion, "Just ask the wives..." Instead of again supporting your claim that alcohol is more damaging with evidence.

To be clear, I'm not saying alcohol is or isn't more damaging. I'm saying that there isn't any evidence in these comments (yours and others) to support a claim of "X being worse than Y".
Lmao are you serious? What about emails buried in spam? What if contact x left the company and the emails are black holes? There are a million valid reasons for emails to go poof. "But we emailed you" is weak.

That would be an unlicensed reproduction of the work. You’d need permission from the rights holder to create what is essentially an audiobook recording.
I took a more traditional approach, focusing on something that's "good enough", which in my case was a cheap VPS and an install of Grav: https://getgrav.org/

Some optional customization for page templates/fonts/CSS, some CI so I can build and deploy it inside of a Docker container, Matomo for analytics that respect privacy (which I already use elsewhere) and some additional web server configuration to hide anything interesting behind an additional login and I'm good. Maybe backups and uptime monitoring if I'm feeling brave, which is what most sites should also have (so copy + paste there).

All of that for under 100 euros per year (could also pay half of that if I didn't host anything else on the server), the blog has actually survived getting on the front page of HN once or twice and requires relatively little maintenance, at least less than a proper install of WordPress, due to its larger surface area.

The best thing is that it's simple enough for me to understand how it works, to be able to move it anywhere as needed and use more or less plain Markdown for writing the blog posts. Here's a quick example of a recent post: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/ever-wanted-to-read-thousan...

Now all that's left is to find motivation to write more, but at least 90% of my time doesn't go into tinkering with custom fancy solutions, no matter how much I'd love that. Then again, nothing wrong with the alternatives either: 400 euros might be perfectly worth it for some, whereas working with static site generators or even custom CMSes would be a fun experience for others!
> Yes, I'd guess what he means is deleting code in the app until the alert disappears, which would be impossible if the alert appears only once.

You really think that's a reasonable approach? Deleting parts of your app until it goes away?

I can't stress this enough this is not a developer tool, and it wouldn't be any more of a developer tool if it appeared every time.

> Do you seriously think that Craig Hockenberry, longtime Mac and iOS developer, is so ignorant and dumb as to not understand deprecation warnings in Xcode? Apparently you do, but if so, you're grossly mistaken.

Respectfully, I've been developing for macOS longer than you have, I started in 2002. Granted it was my first platform, and I wasn't exactly aged at the time. However, I make mistakes and come to silly conclusions all the time (as folks here are quick to point out), which is why I try to avoid appeals to authority whether for or against my position. My position should stand on its own merits.

People get mad about silly things all the time, I'm still mad about brushed metal and the unified toolbar.

> I'd love to code up a machine learning project that showed the user many color combinations.

I teach painting in an art school. The huge problem with almost all pallet choosing apps (e.g. Adobe's https://color.adobe.com/) is that they produce swatches: a small collection of discreet color values (e.g. red, green and yellow). These would present as peaks in a hue histogram. These swatches would be great for choosing a color scheme for your kitchen, but are not suitable for a painter.

I have looked at more painting hue histograms than any man alive, and I can tell you that almost all painters employ ranges of colors. The hue histograms present as 'pie slices' on the histogram, not peaks. Hence: a wide pie slice of greens (plural) and s narrow pie slice of reds. Show me a color picker like that and I would likely share it with my students. As it stands, I warn against them.

> The lawsuit against OpenAI alleges that summaries of the plaintiffs’ work generated by ChatGPT indicate the bot was trained on their copyrighted content. “The summaries get some details wrong” but still show that ChatGPT “retains knowledge of particular works in the training dataset," the lawsuit says.

Setting aside the whole issue of whether LLM constitutes a derived work of whatever it's trained on, this sounds like a very weak argument to me. An LLM trained on numerous summaries of the works would also be capable of producing such summaries itself even if the works were never part of the training set. In general, having knowledge about something is not evidence of being trained on it.

Or you could get a secondary mechanical HDD :-P. Last year i got a 18TB mechanical HDD for extra storage in my desktop and the noises it makes are like as if the platter is made of stone and the headers are digging it to store the data :-P. After 10+ years of using only SSDs - and the HDD being quite more noisier than the HDDs i used for most of the late 2000s - the clonky mechanical sounds were outright nostalgic.
The test was whether producing equivalent accuracy and detail for summaries of all books in its training corpus was a feature of ChatGPT's ability to natively generate them from standalone source material or whether Silverman's detailed summary was likely just a "summary of summaries", not whether ChatGPT produced a result at all. From the comment you reference, it failed the test because the result was hallucinated.

You can pick something else that's in the training set that has SparkNotes and many popular reviews to compare. I routinely feed novel data sources into LLMs to test massive context and memory, and none produce anything similar in quality to what is being exhibited.
