Gemini also removes cookies, actual forms (there's a way to submit text, but not as a form), and any possibility of extending the protocol.

It throws the baby with the water, a bit.

Despite all that, it is still useful, but not enough to ignore all that it could have had but is missing.
I faintly remember Elon Musk complaining about Twitter using an algorithm for sorting the tweets on the home page.
It is explicitly known the the training data cutoff for GPT4 is September 2021. While we can assume that feedback is taken into consideration for future training of new models, the training data used to train all current models is a specific bundle of data with that cutoff date.
Banks have been trying to reduce their balance sheets and their risk-weighted assets, because of all the extra charges and reserves they need to keep. They cannot just get rid of a large of their customers like that and collapsing shareprice.

In some businesses there is also a benefit in scale (like in trading), and there you see the US banks leading because they've had it.

If you want the US banks to fully take over IB and corporate banking, definitely do tax the EU banks painfully more.

Or tax every financial counterpart painfully more, so then eventually the customers pay much more for their loans because the financial system has become so expensive.
> Given the recent efforts in WCF Core compatibility and System.Web wrappers, it is quite clear that the decision to create a Python 2 / 3 schism in the .NET world is taking its toll.

We've had very different experiences. I've never had a problem replacing dependencies on WCF or System.Web, have yet to ever see a use case for WCF Core, and have yet to find System.Web dependent middleware that wasn't trivial to rewrite as modern ASP.NET (Core) Middleware. (ETA: Or toss. Some of what I find done in System.Web has only that one destination, because it is obsolete or was a bad idea in the first place or there's an easier way to do it.)

Sorry to hear that this has been your experience! What exactly was the issue for you? It’s true that there are lots of open PRs. We’re a small team and often busy with customer requirements which doesn’t allow us to get some community PRs over the finishing line (finish tests, refactor code, fix remaining bugs, do security reviews, …).

Sometimes, PRs are not aligning with an architecture or API principle which is when they often go stale. This is why we generally require design documents for changes or additions to APIs.

Saying that the open source is second class is a false accusation in my view:

- Over 1500 PRs merged in Ory Kratos alone: https://github.com/ory/kratos/pulls

- Very active contributor and commit frequency: https://github.com/ory/kratos/graphs/contributors?from=2018-...

- A growing community and footprint

Also, we do offer support contracts for self hosted environments - this is relatively new though: https://www.ory.dev/support/

It is true though that have to balance open source work and things that people pay us for. It’s the only way to ensure that Ory open source, for which we have a deep commitment, continues for a long time.

Hope this makes sense!
Sorry. Won’t do again.
Nobody is suggesting super easy to use.

But sometimes interfaces could be easier with no loss of ability, because they grew over time and nobody ever fixed them.

Because banning them is more contrary than making them pay their "fair share".

You have passing the law, exceptions from the wealthy and/or powerful, and then you have enforcement (for the wealthy and powerful).

But the article perhaps doesn't go far enough; Tax private flights to pay their "fair share" of airport and ATC costs; and then guilt all of the businesses into also being
"carbon offset" (like the major carriers)
Quoting one of my favorite HN comments that captures this sentiment really well [1]:

> I think it's easy to forget we're not the same people we were 20-25 years ago. I see all sorts of lamentations about various things in the world changing and becoming less magical. But as far as I'm aware, I could still go and argue about bands in chatrooms. I could talk to other writers and dream about my future best-selling novels. I could go read random opinions about any subject and get into an exhilarating flamewar about it.

> I don't want to do any of those things. I'm in my 40s and I have 3 kids. The internet 15-year-old me experienced was magical because _I_ was a blank slate. Every new friendship was thrilling, every new skill opened up infinite horizons, every nook and cranny felt like somewhere I could belong. But life moves on. I'm more than half-way through my career, perhaps not the one I was expecting. I didn't marry the girl I met on IRC. I don't have strong opinions about Radiohead anymore. I find people, however delightful and kooky they are, quite tiring having got to know 10,000 of them at this point.

> I know all this is true because my kids love the internet and find their place in it with all the joy I used to. And I'm pretty sure older generations frowning upon it all is part of the rush anyway.

The Node foundation puts out maintenance cycles on their site:

v16 had maintenance + development for 2+ years. Seems pretty good for an ecosystem that has a reputation of breaking changes across minor npm packages.

I use svelte for some side projects, I want to adopt it where I've worked in the past but it's very hard to win mindshare against arguments about stability and support. And honestly? Those arguments are very valid, that's why I asked if these types of hype posts actually hurt adoption. It was a question, this is a forum.

[Mexican living in Mexico here]

There's a GREAT book about a lot of that, at least the Mexico side. It is called "Narcoland: Mexican Lords and Their-Godfathers" (original name "Los Señores del Narco) by Anabel Hernandez. She is a renowned journalist in Mexico who has lived threatened to death for several years, by several narcos and government officers.

The book shows how the real "Lords" or "Godfathers" of Drug Trafficking are not some illiterate-uneducated kid from a small town in the middle of nowere in Mexico who becomes a "drug kingpin" with all connections and whatnot (CEOs and Cofounders who have struggled doing real word/legal relationships know that's a fairy tale), but rich people in Mexico, members of the elite class.

That's why nothing real happens with cartels. The real bosses are people who have the real power, they control the government, control the narcos and control the money in Mexico. It's no conspiracy theory, everything is documented in that book.

Here in Mexico society just "knows it". "Secreto a voces" they say it is, every state and city knows their narcos. To give you an example, in the "La Laguna" area of Durango, an ex-mayor, prominent businessman in the region and VERY rich guy named Carlos Herrera Araluce has been known to be a narco and in relationship with narcos. He was an elected officer (city mayor!!) with everybody knowing what he was doing. And the same is "known" in each state. You just have to ask some of the locals.
You thought having your google account banned was bad now, wait until they ban all associated hardware with a heuristic routine and most of the web doesn't work for you anymore. That should really cut down on the account support requests they didn't want to deal with.
Even with a tree structure, you probably don't want your nodes owning their children just for the sake of being efficient with your allocations.
There are two kinds of complexity. Upfront complexity and hidden complexity. Rust with the borrow checker significantly shrinks the space of possible programs that can be written to solve a problem. Some people think this is bad because they can't write software in a way they find natural, I like it because of the possible programs that rust makes impossible to write the vast majority are incorrect and have bugs.

I also really like that when I use libraries, I know that all the library authors also subject to these same restrictions and I can trust their code much more than I could in other languages.
This would be called a launch ramp in the industry. It is an adaptation of HDD approaches to larger diameter machines. It has been going on for decades. It is only viable where space and the final geometric constraints of the project permit. Additionally, it requires very specific geologic conditions or the construction of a structural headwall in order to avoid a sinkhole.

For example, what Boring Company is doing has already been done in the extreme limit: Herrenknecht sells a vertical shaft boring machine that is essentially a TBM turned 90 degrees.

> GPT-4 Can't Reason

This is absolutely dismissive of the claim to an advanced LLM being capable of "reasoning", or the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way.

That is the sum of the paper. Further, the author even goes on to say that if they asked a human these questions, they would conclude the same:

> Of course, even sophisticated human reasoners make mistakes, just like trained singers can hit false notes. But if a human made these mistakes, the ones reported in this article, then I would conclude without any hesitation that they cannot reason. Even if they went on to list a large number of other examples demonstrating impeccable reasoning, I would suspect that other factors (such as rote memorization or cheating) were behind the performance discrepancy.

So the author admits their own biases, which are used to bolster the argument that, if reasoning appears to be lacking in an answer, the system or entity itself is absolutely incapable of any reasoning and something else must explain why it appears to be reasoning in the first place. That's a VERY convenient way of dismissing any evidence that counters the claim.

> The problem is not that GPT-4 can't to the math problems

The problem is the system was not allowed or provided a path to generate a means to arrive at answering the math problem using a language that is better suited to answering analytical questions: code. That the author "denied" the LLM the ability to write code is the issue here, not the model's interface limitations. An analogy would be that if a user is using English and asks a question that requires using Pali, that the LLM would be "prevented" from answering in Pali unless the user said it could understand it. In the same vein, it doesn't make sense to, by default, output Python if the system is unsure if the user understands or knows how to run Python or not.

If you say "I understand Python. Select two random numbers between 1381 and 1453 and multiply them together, reporting the result." the LLM will be capable of answering this question by generating code to solve the problem. This is likely to work every single time any type of question like this is asked, but it does require the user "run" the code.

GPT-4 has the ability to do this with code interpreter, so the question is formed "why did OpenAI choose to allow the user to explicitly indicate code can be written?" The answer likely lies in understanding not everyone can interpret or understand Python, a coding language, and therefore it remains an OPTION for the user to choose first. By not allowing the LLM to show the answers to analytical questions in code, the author "blocks" the LLM's ability to show off reasoning. And by stating that failures constitute a "proving" of the non-reasoning, the author gets what they want.

From a scientific standpoint, a good hypothesis must be formed that can be disproven, as related to reasoning ability. If any experiment is run that is based on a hypothesis that is absolute (this thing can't reason) then the results are not scientific, but instead opinion.

But they don't squeeze people to death or run over dogs (from a distance - the physics of cars unfortunately mean that some crashes are unavoidable by either human or machine).

Both Cruise and Waymo have an exceptional ability to detect collisions and brake immediately, to the point where regular users tugging on a door handle unexpectedly can immobilize a car.

"Human dignity" suffers much more when a human kills a pedestrian through sheer carelessness, or a child dies in an entirely preventable crash.

In my humble opinion if your bot is stuck in a CloudFlare loop for 10 minutes that's a pretty strong signal that something's not working...
To be fair the expertise needed to produce chips in 1987 and 2023 is radically different.
Gotta say, imagine the Washington Post writing an article about the quest of re-creating 'White Twitter'. We are really lost in our zeitgeist it seems. As before, as now. Only from aside does this look as absurd as it is.
Anecdotaly... I use Firefox and have noticed the Cloudflare interception pages verifying I'm human appearing more often recently. Usually it is all automatic and isn't a big deal, but I have noticed a increase in how often I see these the past week.
At my bank, they will then send you to the online banking, or the phone (with it's 20 min plus waits).

The Mobile app is required to use the debit card anywhere but card present, because 2fa. The Mobile app is required to do interesting things on the website, because of their 2fa. The iPad can't use their website (because reasons, they think it's mobile) and can't use the mobile app because it's not the configured phone with the account.

Credit cards really aren't a thing in this country, and if they are, they will generally have a phone based mobile app for 2fa/strong auth.
One city? At minimum it’s a massive region of the country stretching from Allentown to Omaha and up to Rochester and down to Cincinnati.

More accurately it’s basically every part of the country that’s not a city oriented towards finance or media.

We’re talking millions upon millions of families shattered, communities left to die, whole areas racked by joblessness and addiction, and a society more unequal than ever.

My argument would be that we shouldn’t have fucking done that. It’s possible to invest in and support domestic manufacturing. The Europeans aren’t this dumb they haven’t gone down this road.
I am of two minds on this subject.

I was very politically aware from ~12ish to probably 25 or so, and I had very strongly held beliefs and I was more than happy to evangelize. At some point I realized that most people really didn't care to live or be inconvenienced in furtherance of their beliefs (if they even got far enough to have articulable beliefs/standards) I just resigned myself to the reality that my sphere of influence is extremely small unless I dedicated more time than I was willing to activism/evangelism/whateverism and my time would be better spent improving myself educationally and professionally so that I didn't end up looking back on my lonely life, having not changed anything.

At the same time, if collectively "we" want something to change, "we" need to be informed from primary sources that haven't been focused through some self-serving lens, which takes time and effort away from immediate needs. And then further effort needs to be expended to turn "we" into "us" but there is a(n) (to some extent) artificial standard of living that a person (believes or has been indoctrinated to believe that they) need(s) to uphold that precludes effectively anyone from gathering enough of a common cause to effect change.

The people that make the real decisions have absolutely unfathomable amounts of resources/power/influence. The power comes from influence, and the influence comes from having the resources (money/destructive power) to create a situation of the carrot and the stick (blackmail or "bribes") for anyone with ambitions of upsetting the status quo. Hence the hubbub about epstein/soros or BigCorp, depending on your side.

"The News" is just another top-down adverstisement for one side or the other of the same effective outcome. Sometimes I hate feeling like I "gave up" but the^Wmy reality is that I realized I have zero control or influence over the broader situation, so for a good long time I have been focusing my energy on improving my own situation, living my beliefs and hopefully passively inspiring others to do the same.

I think Carlin (PBUH) said it best - "It's a big club, and you ain't in it"

teal deer: news is bullshit, everything that you haven't explicitly searched out and verified from first principles is an attempt at hypnotic suggestion and the only thing over which you have power is within driving distance.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Then we'd better find ways of fooling or defeating WEI. "Tamper proof" indeed. It's just OS DRM. We've cracked DRM, we can crack this.
Reports of our extinction have been greatly exaggerated.
I'll be brief and say the key to many successful careers has been to focus on data. Software, infrastructure, and everything digital is just scaffolding and piping to move and transform data in one way or another. So if you find some kind of data you enjoy working with or interpreting, then you can become an expert in that kind of data (the domain) and the problems and solutions that are related. Best of luck!
> This is "I don't like python", but phrased adversarially.

But it is an incredible pain in the ass in production environments.

Environment drift is something that _always_ seems to happen, no matter how diligent people are about using venvs or dependency managers or w/e.

One of favorites was when we did a dependency upgrade (something that required a change to Click) we had an upgrade of Black forced on us in order to satisfy Poetry which then reformatted all of our Python code.

Recently we had mypy stop checking one of our internal packages because of a Dockerfile refactoring. The package could still be found at runtime but the type information just wasn't found by mypy. We didn't notice it until we started getting errors at runtime, which made the fix a lot more difficult to diagnose.

There's always someone saying "you're using it wrong" or "you're doing something worng", even if you follow the guides and howtos to get started.

For a language which states "There should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it" as part of its guiding principles, that there is no single one way to use it right in production -- let alone an obvious one -- that makes it, simply, a "pain in the ass".
They obviously don't do it this way and implement more roundabout ways because it's not as simple or straightforward.
Yes, the OS function works fine.

No one likes to sit in traffic, but I do wonder if such tools don't create too many additional problems, by increased traffic on minor roads [1]. Suddenly small roads, have heavy traffic, because it's 1-2min faster. Leading to more road wear, circumventing road hierarchy etc.

Having never written anything in Rust but read and “translated” some code (maybe 3k LOC?) from Rust to Ada, I can tell that I found Rust rather hard to read and harder than e.g. Ruby (which I also do not know how to write but translated to Java once).

Here is what I guess makes it hard to read for me: There are many terse keywords (fn, mut) and symbols (&, [], ->) along with some things that look like Java annotations and are equally hard to understand without knowing the language. Array slices look easy enough to understand [a..b] but surprise: b is actually exclusive? The definition of arrays is the most weird one I have ever encountered [u8; n]. To me Rust looks much like C++ with a twist and people rightfully complain about C++ often :)

The documentation about language and libraries was solid for my cases and most of the time it seemed enough to ignore most of the tiny key words and symbols without losing much understanding of what the code intends to do. If I were given the choice I'd probably still prefer Rust's weird syntax with added safety over the clarity of C which offers no safety at all (not talking about obfuscated code contests here).
Google/Bing say otherwise, at least when it comes to the exact pharase "Technical Protection Module".
