This is, unequivocally, rubbish.

Denouncing recovered memories is precisely how the Baltimore Archdiocese covered up years of sexual abuse by Catholic priests. Only utter dirtbags like Paul McHugh [1], who astoundingly still has an ~emeritus position at Hopkins after helping the Archdiocese continue their cover-up, denounce the suppression and later recovery of memories. Such dirtbags are outliers, and there is no legitimate debate about this as far as I'm aware.

Sadly, I can give a personal example of this phenomenon. My brother and I were both subject, from different rooms, to something utterly abhorrent when we were young. For reasons beyond me, other than maybe our age disparity, and the fact he also saw what I only heard, he suppressed what happened and I did not. It was horrible enough that it was only ever discussed once or twice over the intervening decades before, in his 40s, he called me crying, indicating he remembered. Having not seen it myself, there wasn't any detail for me to add or fill in for him in the scant discussions we had, yet he remembered in detail what he had seen. Yes, this is anecdotal, but there are many other similar cases.

This sort of unscientific spew has no place on HN, except maybe to incur a pile-on to shine a light upon it.

Also, all the images seem to have some sort of extreme blur filter applied (both in the URL parameter and as a CSS filter) which I suspect might be removed by some script that I've blocked. I don't know what effect they were going for, and it's nothing my filtering proxy can't fix with some regex, but this is quite user-hostile; on par with hiding all the content with a display:none and using JS later on the page to remove it.

To be clear, I meant me hiking up a mountain. I thought I might have gotten signal up there (wasn’t too high up, just a fairly far walk), but I was also thinking of stories about people dying when they leave their cars to go for help and figured it’d be smarter to wait for someone to pass by.
The new Ruby debug module is even better than pry. It has all of the step-into, step-out-out, object inspection, etc. featuring I’ve ever wanted.

Would love to play Quake 1 again in person, it was my first LAN party game. I occasionally hop online to the Quake 1 remake, but it seems mostly dead though I have met some cool people who just want to drink a beer and have a good time. I can’t hit the broad side of a barn these days and spend most of my time dying.
I think we have forgotten the foundation of open source which was free software which was about empower the user.

Instead of all these complicated criteria, there are only 2 criteria that get to the heart of the question:

1. Can you run this on your own hardware

2. Can you use this directly or tweak this as a community to make porn without a bunch of barriers

This gets to the heart of the matter: Can you run the software without having to be dependent on the company, and can you modify the software to do something that the company may not want you to do with it.

If it is able to pass both tests, it is functionally "open source"

By that criteria, ChatGPT is definitely not open but Llama is closer

I can't imagine what goes through the head of someone who thinks they don't have the right to say no. They don't have the right to be listened to or the right to use state power to enforce a colloquial notion of IP and rights with no basis in law or fact, but they surely have the right to say "No!"

In all seriousness, they're afraid because they aren't very pleasant. AI will write things people will like and enjoy hearing. Preachy artists these days just make works they think people ought to want, and ought to like. Getting moralism out of art will be a great technological accomplishment.

Here's some community stats for Bloomberg open source projects

For the 200 repos that they have made open source, they had over 6000 people contribute feedback and/or code. So in addition to attracting talent, they also get more testers and feedback.

There is a reason why the mileage estimate on EVS are called GOMS (guess o meters). They are like laptops, totally unreliable. They should really just stick to percentages. I don't think anyone really relies on the mileage left in gas cars, that mentality should be carried over to EVs. The number is really the fault of the EPA which uses a synthetic tests and allows manufacturers to just run with that.
I've been full-time remote for many, many years longer than Covid, but I still look back on my time in office fondly; there was a camaraderie that is difficult to duplicate over Zoom. For software engineers at any rate, the optimum may be remote with frequent enough face-to-face gatherings for social connections between coworkers. Of course, individual preference will vary.

Given that office spaces are concentrated in downtown areas, and downtown areas in many of America's most renowned cities have deteriorated rapidly in the past few years, I'm not surprised that this is happening. Hopefully developers are able to convert some of those office buildings into residential use, which the article looks at briefly.
Radiolab had a great episode about it in 2016:

Realistically your provided build tool won't be everything. Cargo is enough to build my toy projects and even some fair size software written mostly in Rust, but it's not enough to build Mozilla, or Linux, or Android, or other large systems with a bunch of Rust in them - including Rust's own compiler and standard library.

But, when you get big enough to where this sort of provided tool isn't enough, chances are tooling is now somebody's actual problem anyway, if you're a for-profit somebody's job is to look after the tooling, you can invest in learning a specialized tool or even writing one because that's a proportionate effort, it makes sense.

Hey, Harrison here (author of the RailsNotes blog and newsletter).

I just wanted to share the newsletter I've been writing for a little bit now, since I think there is a solid group of Rubyists / Rails lovers here on HN. Currently the newsletter is sitting at a solid 168 subscribers, so I like to keep it small and fun.

You can read the latest issue here — https://railsnotes.beehiiv.com/p/issue-3-db-seeding-faker-ge... — and there will be a new edition is less that 24 hours!

If you visit the /r/rails subreddit, you've probably seen me around a bit! I started blogging at RailsNotes a few months ago now, and the RailsNotes newsletter is building on from there.

I actually got laid off from my job this week, so I've had a lot more time than usual to work on RailsNotes! I think it would be incredible to one day be able to work on RailsNotes full time... that might take a while though. For now, I just wanted to get the word out about the newsletter + get some feedback!

Let me know what you think.

Harrison
Please dont editoralize titles. The actual title is "No One Wants To Talk To Your Chatbot", which is slightly different in tone from "No One Wants To Talk To A Chatbot".
Don't forget Arduino - twice in two consecutive sentences! Someone really wanted to hit all the buzzwords and the result was definitely not pleasant to read.

After reading all that, I'm still confused whether this is a physical analog pipe organ, or a software pipe organ simulator.

In these times, I find myself asking "Is this LLM output?"
Dogs certainly lie, as any owner knows. And beyond that, lying is a cache behaviour.

I watch squirrels, in my back yard, bury food and then straighten blades of grass, and pull leaves over the area, to hide that the ground was disturbed.

To conceal, is to lie.

I watched a neightbour's cat, stalk a squirrel, and when the squirrel turned around, and noticed the cat, it swatted the leaves of a nearby bush, acting as if the bush was the most interesting thing in the world.

The squirrel's body language showed, it didn't buy it.

Wolves hunt in packs, and will chase prey into dead ends, and to do so, one has to conceal intent. Again, lying.

I've seen chipmunks hide food from each other, underneath something when another approaches. Conceal, lie, or your food may be taken.

Birds won't approach their nest, when a cat is near, or quite often even humans. Often one bird will be nearby, calling to another that it is clear to leave, or go to the nest. Swallows do this in my area. Concealing a nest, is lying.

Many birds with ground nests, will act hurt, pretend to have a broken wing, and do so to lure animals away, before they get close eniufh to smell the nest. To pretend you are hurt, is to lie.

I am astonished people get surprised animals lie. Lying, is survival.
Even 100k still seems very limiting for many applications naturally suited to LLMs.

What if I want an AI assistant that is specifically trained on a large codebase? Or all my product’s docs (which might easily exceed 100k characters for a big project). Or one that knows the exact details of the entire tax code? Or one that knows every line of Dostoyevsky’s novels so I can have angsty existential conversations with it? Or that can fully remember conversations with me that stretch on for years?

It seems like you’d need fine tuning for these kinds of use cases? Or am I missing something?
Yes, this is the internet.
I've had to do this mostly because of batshit crazy rules many large companies have about how all software has to be supported. The issue there being the definition of supported in the eyes of clueless auditor types.

If software is written 100% externally, but the vendor only wrote 10% of it and is transparently taking 90% from an open source project so they can sell fraudulent support (assuming they don't have people contributing to the open source project here), that counts as supported.

If it is written 100% internally, even if it is built on top of some ancient internal codebase that nobody can figure out and has been in life support mode for 20 years, then it counts as supported.

But if its written 50% internally and 50% of it came from an external open source library with a BSD license, and you are a major contributor to that project, then it is considered unsupported and you get in trouble.

This is how you end up with security issues because some sysadmin decided they had to roll-their-own crypto library or authentication system, because its better to have an unknown implementation show up on a scanner than a known one that has a list of CVEs that can be checked.

Honestly, i think it's reactance. I understood Musk was full of it since 2016 and his "solarcity" exposition (at least it was better than his boring company CGI), but nowadays there is too much, and it's to fresh, too muddy.

Obviously i'll participate (or rather read) when its new news (like Twitter change its name), but if it's yet another article on Tesla/Musk, i'll ignore it. I dislike the man but i feel there is hatred for no good reason.

At this point, I just want a full year without hearing "Musk did that!", negatively or positively. He isn't helping me because of his outlandish attitude (and lies, that the reason i don't like him, i find him dishonest) but if places can HN could be a bit quieter, that'll be great.

Remember that hacker news auto buries controversial posts, where “controversial” is defined as some ratio of comments to upvotes (I don’t remember the specific amount). Basically stories that have about as many comments as upvotes fall off the front page much quicker than a story with the same upvotes but fewer comments.
Almost certainly not, and there are good reasons for that.

Work on Austral was initiated by Borretti in 2021, but its earnest development really only commenced in January this year. So we're talking about a language that's, for most intents and purposes, less than a year old. Even if the January release was stable, there would not have been time for anyone to develop and deploy significant projects in it. But it is not stable: it still under construction, with certain inherent instabilities. Notably, recent updates changed the borrow syntax and FFI pragmas. Similarly, the surrounding infrastructure (compiler and standard library) is far from production-ready yet.

I built an Austral interface for the seL4 Core Platform (https://github.com/zaklogician/libmantle/tree/main), and ran some Austral apps on hardware. The purpose of this was experimental (we wanted to know how Austral can help us design fail-safe seL4 Core Platform APIs, and it was a success), but probably among the closest anybody came to "production": I wrote more Austral code than currently included in the Austral standard library.

It revealed several bugs, including a typo in Standard.Buffer which leads to the invariant check for the Buffer type always failing, and issues related to the compiler's handling of large unsigned literals.

Austral shows great promise, and has already provided us with valuable insights about linear API design, and exciting glimpses into its future capabilities. Using Austral in production code, however, might require a few more years of maturation and stabilization. So if you want something that people use for writing production code, check back in a couple of years.
>otherwise Christ as God/Human is totally senseless and useless on these other planets...which can not be since God does not change

This doesn't even make sense. God being unchanging doesn't imply that the relationship of all created beings to God must be the same. Genesis makes it clear that humanity was created in a state of perfection and then fell from grace - and yet God didn't change, despite humanity's relationship to God changing. Therefore it is possible within Biblical canon for created beings to exist which do not need salvation through grace - humans are an exception, not the rule.

I mean, within the Bible, there are humans who just don't die and go straight to Heaven because God likes them and decides to waive the immutable stain of original sin like a parking ticket, because apparently even God's rules can have exceptions.

Also, your assumption that the only creation God engaged with was planet Earth is fallacious. Genesis clearly states that God created the Heavens and the Earth. He created the entire universe. The Bible doesn't mention the dinosaurs either (no, Leviathan doesn't count, file that under the common Indo-European motif of chaoskampf) but we know they existed.

I'm not even religious but I can see your point of view is a bit too limited even within Christendom. CS Lewis was writing about aliens within the framework of Christianity a century ago. Many religious people can square that circle quite easily, simply by assuming God is not strictly limited to what is contained within Biblical canon.
>The backlash to her actions — tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live” and then shouting “Fight the real enemy!” — was swift.

What if our democracy is the weakest link in the chain and as it is guarantees failure?

Does the fact that for some reason most humans literally cannot even contemplate this idea not seem like a bit of a risky situation to ignore, while representing/perceiving that we are thinking rationally??

To me, this is a recipe for disaster, the blind leading the blind.
I wonder if there's a future title like "AI Model Artist", "AI Model Contributor", "AI Model Author", "AI Model Creator" or something for creators who contribute to the models in use.

While I love we can all immediately benefit from previous works, I feel for the countless artists and creators who's work has been integrated into models with zero compensation. There are already outstanding lawsuits seeking reparations, but this is new legal territory and there will be a lot to learn and decide in the future.
“ When it becomes serious you have to lie"
> Despite growing revenue, it lost $84 million over the year ending on March 31, 2023

Its not possible to run a business that loses $84 million. You will run out of money.
The comments are generally impressed at the “600k monthly revenue” and while I am too, is that “our business was grossing 600k/month” or “the sites we supported were grossing 600k/month through our checkout”? These are … very different.
Thank you, hopefully I've been some form help or at least some food for thought.
When you dig into it, there are very few truths. Who "won" the last US election? Where did covid come from?

These have been debunked to death.

* A wallet is just a secret random number, and all the identity-centered uses of it are "classic" cryptography, not needing the double-spend protection. The hard part is in the human side of key management, which blockchains aren't applicable for.

Blockchains have no concept of personhood, and can't prevent sockpuppetry. You can only have a plutocracy, not democracy. (Worldcoin has a central authority)

* If the blockchain state is final and no central authority is able to override it, then someone can hit you with a pipe until you give your private key, and become legal owner of your house. Police will evict you, coz the blockchain says so. Courts have no authority to reverse it. If you fix this problem, you just have an expensive gov database.

Lots of real-world applications can't work because of the oracle problem.
I agree with both halves of your comment, but I realized I can't identify the connection between S3 oauth and data sovereignty. Could you elaborate?

>Ok let me know when there’s an OS or browser that’s totally secure.

As an industry we are getting better at security and finding and patching vulnerabilities.

>Attestation does not prove that a device meets any security bar.

But it can prove that a device's software and hardware is running software and hardware that does pass your security bar.

>No, it doesn’t provide any guarantee other than the power that be are empowered to grant themselves and their friends privileged status while leaving everybody else without a device that can run the software they want.

Security doesn't have to be perfect in order to be beneficial.
A good example of what happens when an individual runs against powerful institutional forces, and a good reminder of why individual rights, like the freedom to speak even when it offends or hurts, must be protected, both in law as well as in culture.
I guess there is no "strict separation" in C++, since that mechanism is, I believe, optional. Adding implementations to your header files might never pass PRs, but still.

It does enable header-only libraries though.
The BBC Micro wraparound is designed in rather than being apparently some kind of unreliable poorly-defined accident. There's a specific bit of hardware that subtracts a specific amount if the address runs off the top of RAM, so the video memory (typically the top 10 KB or 20 KB of RAM) is effectively circular.

For single-buffered infinite scrolling, this is exactly what you want, and this is how the BBC Micro's 640 pixel wide bitmap mode scrolls nice and quickly (something you'd never manage otherwise with a 2 MHz CPU), and why there are a fair number of infinite 4-way scrolling games on the platform. It's a shame more platforms didn't have this kind of thing designed in.
