There's lots of cases in web design where you want to change the font weight, color, size, font family, capitalisation etc. of some text to create contrast with other text where the semantics of <b> don't make much sense and there aren't other tags that would help.

See this example where semantic HTML tags aren't going to help much with the styling or getting the information hierarchy right: https://twitter.com/steveschoger/status/997125312411570176/p...
I think I recall someone doing that analysis and posting about it on HN, but I don't remember what the conclusion was.
The article mentions nothing about remote locking. The bikes in question are physically locked in stores.
Oppenheimer has had his own movie (and opera and TV series and a ton of books as others here have pointed out).

The earlier Hollywood treatment was "Fat Man and Little Boy" with Paul Newman. It's rentable on Amazon Prime. It's not a great movie despite the talented cast and good photography. I expect Nolan to make a better movie, but FM&LB does a decent job telling the story of the relationship of Groves and Oppenheimer and some of Oppie's back story.
Why do you need that? What's wrong with SLAAC and RDNSS?
I personally have a strict sense of "ownership". The easy proxy for it is: "Is there open firmware developed in FLOSS that I can replace the existing with?"

Obviously, that's not a 100%. Perhaps something like this is better:

"The thing is owned by me, when I pay for it, and it doesnt have irrevocable tie-backs to the company." Now, my strategy here isn't even foolproof, with auutomatic updates that can reverse features. Ideally, even automatic updates are a trap UNLESS you have a way to roll them back.

That's why I highly prefer hardware with FLOSS options. That's really the only way to guarantee my "ownership".
This is sarcasm right? Because otherwise it sounds like going to the bathroom during a commercial would be illegal.
I've been using DejaVu Sans (a proportional font) for a very long time, maybe 10 years, after about 30 years of monospaced fonts. After all we know that they are easier to read than monospaced fonts, tabs or spaces are fixed length anyway so the only thing that I can't do is columns like

a = 1
ab = 2
abc = 3

Guess what, this is equally readable

a = 1
ab = 2
abc = 3

and some code formatters yield this anyway (eg: Elixir's, if I remember well.)

It's a very good exchange: a little feature to miss, much more readable code.

I gave a try to Input but it was not OK for me. I can't remember the details. I'm giving a try to Sweden Sans, from yesterday's HN.
They are propagandised to the gills. Their brains will break and they probably won't be able to function anymore if they try to go through all the contradictions.
Latest NoSQL Java Ecosystem Updates 2023 Q1 and Q2
I second this. Tailwind is an awful little tech that will fade away in a few years (already doing so) and will leave behind nothing but a horrendous, unreadable overhead of technical debt.

There was a push to build tutorials for whatever using Tailwinds (Build a blog with Hotwire, or something), those were there fastest tab closes ever performed on my lifetime. Those tutorials are useless, they have so much added nonsense that will not stand the test of time that might as well not exist at all.

I've been working a consulting contract for the last 4 months or so and I am definitely under-billing and over-delivering big time. I'm charging $58/hour for Django development and I've built these guys a nice backend with a rock-solid test suite. I also have almost 20 years experience as a software developer now, and I'm giving them high-level design and architectural guidance as well. I have no idea what they'd do without me at this point. I like the flexibility, but I think I'll need to start making a bit more money soon. It is just such a headache going through the whole interview process, though.

> If you use less powerful AI your products will most likely lose to competition who gamble and use a more powerful model (in theory)

I think it really depends on many factor and there isn't a one size fits all answer. Depending on your user target, it could even be that your customers get disappointed if they see a sudden decrease in the quality and just stop paying for your products.
If it was an experiment I'd like to know why I'm still paying for access to something claiming to be it.
Oh well, it’s good enough for writing automated responses to scam and cold prospecting emails…
I wonder if maybe they cache and re-serve answers to similar prompts? Probably they could use a GPT-4 response as a template and have GPT-3.5 tweak it to be specific to your prompt
The linked twitter account is an AI influencer, so take whatever is written with a grain of salt. Their goal is to get clicks and views by saying controversial things.

This topic has come up before, and my hypothesis is still that GPT-4 hasn't gotten worse, it's just that the magic has worn off as we've used this tech. Studies to evaluate it have gotten better and cleaned up mistakes in the past.
It seems tu be sufficient. Although maybe the abattoir have to really follow sanitary rules for once, that'll cut into the profits.
What, the cops are actually doing at least something to weed out the bad apples now?

Yes if we want to reduce total consumption of polluting resources. Depends on each person's circumstance, if you need to drive then it's better to keep using your old car but use it as little as possible and look for opportunities to replace trips with walking, cycling, public transport, etc. Rather than buying a new EV but still driving everywhere even for short trips.
Unified memory literally is RAM. It's just LPDDR5. It might have better timings, due to being located closer, that's it. The framework 16 also does DDR5-5600, so you get 100GB/s of bandwidth with a dual rank memory setup.

In theory you'd take a latency hit, but in reality (at least the M1) was limited by it's memory controller and had DRAM latencies of ~100ns, which is actually worse than Zen 4 at ~70ns. This is because before querying RAM, you first need to query every level of cache, and then you hit the latency of the DRAM itself, so the actual distance is not a dominant factor.

So no, unified memory doesn't give any actual performance advantage. It could in theory (and marginally), in practice it's just marketing.

Yeah. Very similar to venison, in both taste (lean and a bit gamey) and reasons for culling; too many in an area and no real predators other than humans.

Google's Parent Alphabet Ends Domestic Robot Helper Project (February, 2023)
Kind of agree. The erlang runtime just gives you a process abstraction that is extremely cheap. So within a process you can do things logically sequentially without dragging the system as a whole down.

This approach would not have been the right choice for rust itself, since rust as a systems programming language can not have a runtime.

But there is a fun project called lunatic that implements a lightweight runtime in rust https://docs.rs/lunatic-runtime/latest/lunatic_runtime/ and then allows you to write lightweight processes for this runtime also in rust https://docs.rs/lunatic/latest/lunatic/

It seems heavily inspired by the actor model and erlang.

Are you sure it wasn't just that the novelty wore off after a few hours of usage? I never really got into LLMs, but I must say at first it seemed like pretty cool stuff.

OpenAI have repeatedly stated the model hasn't changed so how could this happen otherwise?
No, it's not at all an sshfs mount. It's your IDE sending commands over to another instance of itself, and it's perfectly responsive as if operating locally. VSCode and IntelliJ support this very well.
In very much the same train of thought as in the necessity of intermediary banks, the property is yours the moment you pay for it. However, since the transaction didn't occur in person, it may very well be the property of the seller with the obligation to deliver the goods.

This seems very much aimed at teams on paid tiers at competitors (which admittedly makes sense).

As an individual user, I find their feature set (https://www.neeto.com/neetocal/features) a bit underwhelming - they present a number of features as things that really any scheduler should have:

- different meeting durations

- time zones

- custom availability

- cancellation/rescheduling

- buffer time

- integrations with Zoom/Google/etc (but not CalDAV, somehow)

- email notifications, OTP and SSL (what is this, 2013?)

Personally, I use cal.com, which has all of that, plus is open source and self-hostable. And it interfaces with CalDAV so I'm not locked into Google Calendar.
Pillars of Eternity is a spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate, can't recommend it enough.
So at least in the US the founding political ideology is based on natural rights and social contract theory. Your conception is closer to patriarchal rights, which is in conflict (at least here in the US).
I would agree, but we're talking about 35 to 40% prevalence of obesity and all the attendant diseases caused by it in the US. If the next wave of the flu or pneumonia would kill those same people who were pushed over the edge by COVID, would you be for lock downs and business closings in these cases too? Because that's what happens whenever a person with that many comorbidities gets an infection like the flu or pneumonia and they are over 80, just like COVID. Diagnoses of obesity changed during this period too due to fat-shaming blow back. A lot of excuses are made for these actions saying any criticism is in hindsight, but there were scientists being censored and suppressed who were raising very good points with early data and reference to past social measures during pandemics too. The memory-holing of natural immunity in those who already had COVID, was almost criminal by the CDC and others. SARS-CoV-1 immunity studies were being conducted on survivors of it from 2003 for over 18 years and they still showed antibodies or immunity traits from natural infection. Even though, SARS-CoV-2 is pretty much believed to have been enhanced in the WIV at this point with an accidental lab leak causing it to spread worldwide, why wouldn't it have similar correlations with it's sibling virus re: natural immunity? Having contracted COVID in my mid-fifties and it being no more than the flu for me, I decided not to get vaccinated when it was becoming scary that I may lose my job for this stance and being stigmatized by all of my fellow workers. I did not argue against the vaccination in the vulnerable and those who didn't ever have COVID, but I had it, and I went with the overwhelming precedent of natural immunity as something that had always been recognized by the CDC and others (funny how the definition of natural immunity was edited over time on the CDC website to fit the narrative and push for vaccination). Glad I stuck to my guns and not to the mob's. One of the loudest voices at work rushed for all of his boosters and had COVID twice and was ill enough to take off work for a week for each incident not just because of quarantine rules, since he was working from home. Sadly, my nephew in his early twenties at the time received the vax and was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance with myocarditis, and to this day has follow-up appointments to track his cardiac health. He is a runner, athlete, with no previous medical conditions. Statistically, he was not even in any significant risk category.
This is the inherent flaw of decentralized networks.

I have not read the paper yet (in my backlog, here's the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.09009.pdf), but it's important note that the paper is entitled "How Is ChatGPT’s Behavior Changing over Time?" not that it's necessarily "getting worse." Here's a more nuanced (not an AI clout chasing account) discussion by Arvind Narayanan (Princeton CS prof) about the results: https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/1681489529494970368

One thing that I have confirmed is while the abstract and intro talk about evaluating "code generation" as if GPT-4 code generation is getting worse, In is 3.3/Figure 4 it says they judge correctness only if it's passing raw code: "We call it directly executable if the online judge accepts the answer" not whether the code snippet is actually correct (!). The latest model outputs code as triple ticked in Markdown: "In June, however, they added extra triple quotes before and after the code snippet, rendering the code not executable." I mean, this is important if you're passing code directly into an API I suppose, but I don't think this should be properly extracted to judge code generation capability.

(I've had access to the Code Interpreter for several months now so I can't really say so much about the base GPT-4 model since I default to that most of the time for its programming abilities, but I use it basically every day and subjectively, I have not found the June update to make the CI model less useful).

One other potentially interesting data-point is that while the original GPT-4 Technical Report (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.08774v3.pdf) gave the Human Eval pass@1 score as 67%, independent testing from 3/15 (presumably on the 0314 model) seems was 85.36% (https://twitter.com/amanrsanger/status/1635751764577361921). And this current paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.01210 (well worth reading for those interested in LLM coding capabilities) scored GPT-4's pass@1 at 88.4%, which point towards coding capabilities improving since launch, not regressing.
...though I am just some random employee in this behemoth.

I'm skeptical of "just some random employee", or a ban on immediate family trading AMZN. Because it's the first I've heard of this for an SDE that doesn't work in finance for Amazon, and I know plenty of folks that work at Amazon and trading AMZN has come up.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd sure double-check on that because it doesn't match my experience with other large companies (for instance, there was a time when my spouse worked in Microsoft finance, and I had to have my MSFT trades approved or something, but not banned from trading).
Makes sense now that it's legal and foreign/criminal actors can't extort people any more for being gay or smoking pot.
Imagine how much complexity, churn, standards etc. we could have avoided if they put a Scheme in Netscape (like they initially wanted).

- language features like module loading, async, classes arrow functions etc. would be unnecessary or trivially implementable within the language

- libraries like React et al would be much simpler

- plenty of FP libraries would be either unnecessary or much simpler

- things like "hot reloading" during dev time would be much simpler and actually work out of the box

- simpler parsing and more cross pollination in terms of runtime performance

- type annotations could be implemented trivially in user space, the runtime could evolve into respecting them for performance gains

- tooling complexity would be much reduced because of all of the above
> And a chat app is very much not out of place in an office productivity suite. I have to say, I don't understand the merits of this case at all.

The article talks about M365/O365, but I suspect the bigger issue might be that Microsoft includes Teams Personal (WebView) in Windows 11. From what I understand this version will eventually reach feature parity with Teams for Work & School (Electron)

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/microsoft-teams-version...

It's not clear to me if Teams Personal will be kept as a separate app, or if the new features will just be subscription-gated from that version. Either way I can see why competitors and regulators might be a bit concerned about it.

Side note - I really hate Microsoft's product naming. Finding resources about all these different versions of Teams is such a pain, not to mention how confusing it is for end users.
> Continuations and the way Erlang handles this have far less mental overhead and help keeping the model and the mental representation of that model in sync. Differences between the two is where bugs will hide.

You still have a lot to think about in Erlang. For example, you need an entire supervisory system to handle the fact that an actor can die. You need to handle the fact that an actor A might send a message to actor B and not get a response, or it'll get a response way later. You need a native way to link actors, a native way to name actors, a tracing system, etc. Actors are not something you can simply slap onto a system and suddenly you've got Erlang superpowers.

TBH tokio tasks give you a very similar abstraction without the problems - you can join a task. That's a huge ergonomic improvement because you can isolate/join state at will without having to use a channel.

> it's an ugly wart on Rust and a distraction to boot.

It's really not that bad. Like, IMO the major reason to have async is for cancellation. I want to be able to have a network request time out. That is way, way easier to handle in async code than threaded code. The best I can do with a sync system is specify timeouts on an underlying resource like a socket, I can't do anything like "this specific request should have this specific timeout" without async.

Another factor: I live in the UK, where they have a particularly crackpot derivative of the ISO QWERTY layout that well nigh unusable for a programmer. Apple is the only laptop vendor that will allow you to choose your keyboard layout, so when I buy anything else, I order from the US, with all the customs hassles that implies.
