Happy to provide more information here.

We start by understanding a person’s immediate sleep-related challenges and providing them with practical strategies for dealing with them. Then, we drill down on the underlying psychological drivers of a person’s chronic insomnia and create a personalized program to resolve those drivers one by one.

Every day, you will go through a set of modules (5 - 10 minutes each day) that teaches you the psychology skills you need to get better sleep. The modules presented will be based on what we think will be most effective for you, given your sleep patterns.

Our modules are often video based (short animated videos featuring our mascot - Merlin the owl) and audio based, and we have interactive modules, text based modules etc. Topics in the first phase of the program include how to deal with a racing mind, cognitive restructuring, techniques for general relaxation, stimulus control and sleep restriction therapy.

You'll also be recording your sleep each day, and this will help us:

+ Further personalize your program

+ Recommend a sleep restriction window for the following week.

Hope this answer your question!
Taxing private jets, is not the same as "removing all incentives to be successful".
I'm curious, what is the number of 'auto' things for you each month? Seems like there is a cool business idea in helping people work through this.

Of course, trust would be a huge issue, but assuming that could be resolved, I feel like switching banks should be something people do all the time.

You're leaving money on the table during a time where interest rates just keep going up and banks are becoming more and more competitive with each other on rates. You should be earning at least 5.15% on a market savings account today. I doubt WF would pay anywhere near that.

> I got deflated whenever I saw a WebEx mail.

I literally don't think I ever had an issue getting on a WebEx call, using it many times a week every week for as many years as I can remember. Not that I'm passionate about WebEx, it just so happens to be the tool we used before we used Zoom.
That's fair, but it seems to me they could've done it differently -- require a signature from the clients but allow them to produce an unbounded number of valid unique signatures that are securely but anonymously tied to the client TPM. In other words the client would still be able to present a validated anonymized identity, but would not be able to generate someone else's signatures, and private-key-based revocation could still be available to deal with rogue TPMs.
how would you export something like this to an image? and also, would this work in github markdown?
Well its normal in Java and from what I have seen despite being advised against it a lot of folks coming from Java to Go have brought along Java style heavily abstracted code, framework first design patterns with them. This can definitely lead to very deep stack traces.
Yes, my elderly mother can’t stop complaining about how much crime there is “these days”. Despite the fact crime per-capita has decreased, the news reports the absolute value. This in turn tricks people into believing something that is quite literally opposite from
what is really happening.
Looks like there is one on the Hugging Face page: https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stablecode-instruct-alpha...

Not very promising based on this lame test
Newegg is a shadow of its former self, but it is still possible to turn the 'sold my newegg' knob on relatively easily. It seems impossible to do that with Amazon. Walmart online you can do it but you'll have to watch it like a hawk as it gets aggressively disabled again.
The mitigation here can incur a whopping 50% performance penalty. At what point can customers return these CPUs for either being defective or sue for false advertising? If they can't safely meet the target performance they shouldn't be doing these tricks at all.
What would be wrong with the following:

Launch a spacecraft to Mars full of organic material. Add the toughest possible bacteria (the kind that manages to survive in volcanoes for thousands of years), vegetable growing experiments, etc...

Then see what sticks. Maybe it's nothing. But in the small chance something sticks, then humanity might have done the most useful thing ever, even in case humanity would go extinct: seed life on another planet.

But instead we seem to be carefully disinfect any spacecraft launched to Mars from biological life instead...

Is this for:

A) to avoid contaminating possible life that would already be there?

B) to ensure that if life is detected, we're sure it's not life from Earth that was present on the spacecraft itself?

But, is the chance that life is already present there considered that high?

How long can we keep maintaining that? At some point we've gotta either send something that's good enough to inconclusively tell whether there already is life there (when are we expected to have the tech to achieve that?), or send something with life.
Sure!

In Agentflow, you write functions by inheriting from the BaseFunction class. You need to provide the definition in JSON that GPT-3.5/4 uses to understand how to call a function, and also the function logic itself. This just means creating a get_definition() function that returns a JSON Schema object, and an execute() function that performs your logic and returns a string. Once you have those, you can then just use the function in your workflow by adding "function_call": "your_function". The application does the rest. Here's the create_image function, for example, which uses the Dall-e API: https://github.com/simonmesmith/agentflow/blob/main/agentflo...

What I mean by "you don't need to write any code with LangChain" is that you don't need to write any Python at all to use Agentflow, unless you want to create a new function. Creating workflows just involves creating JSON files. It's not like LangChain, for which you'd have to chain together multiple prompts in Python.

Does that help clarify?

PS: You'll notice heavy documentation in the link above. I want to experiment with automatically generating documentation using Sphinx, so I documented everything with Sphinx formatting. It might be overkill.
No indication was presented if it were a positive or negative use of taxes rather the point is calling tax-funded programs "free" is deceitful, at best.
I'll say it though I expect violent downmoderation: Rust is way too political for me to ever consider using it for anything real. I've been starting to worry the same about python too (and really all of software) but Rust and Mozilla have that vibe of wanting to go way beyond software development and into identity politics, and it's dangerous to have dependencies with those priorities. Especially in AI because there's an overlap with the "safety" nonsense. New frameworks are always interesting but I wouldn't use rust seriously for anything until the ecosystem broadens enough to incorporate all viewpoints and get away from politics.
Interesting discussion. I notice a lot of artists on HN get riled up particularly when AI media generation is brought up, while coders get riled up when AI code generation is brought up, while each side dismisses the other. Fundamentally, this shows me that it's not really about the morals at all but the economics of losing one's livelihood. Fortunately for one and unfortunately for the other, technology will continue to march on, it seems.
Thank you for sharing your perspective on our pricing model. I genuinely appreciate that feedback.

We actually started our beta launch with a one-off pricing model. We only moved to the monthly model because we discovered through feedback from our beta users that chronic insomnia is fundamentally different from occasional sleep problems or light sleeping issues. Instead, chronic insomnia often comes from deep-rooted psychological factors, like unresolved anxiety, chronic stress, or burnout. These underlying issues can't typically be addressed with short-term solutions or quick fixes.

That's precisely why we believe a one-off program might not provide the continuous support and adaptability required to address such nuanced/varied problems. Our monthly model actually creates a strong incentive for us to provide a highly effective product. After all, no one is going to keep paying us if our product doesn't continue to help them. As a result, we continuously invest a ton of resources into developing new, top-notch clinical content, make it incredibly engaging via animated videos, and are always refining our offerings based on user feedback and the latest research.
I hate the jobs argument.

Man, I hate to digress this much, but I've recently seen the absurd end result of this thinking. Local Redmond, WA city council incumbent candidate running this year said they would work to support local business that have been hard-hit by COVID, et al. This councilperson's solution: advocate for return-to-work policies. The implied outcome being that the returned-to-office workers will suddenly visit those businesses now that they're back in the office. (One can read my almost-a-direct quote on Carson's campaign website.) Well, at least we know who David Carson works for, and it ain't you.
I'm fairly confident a coding specific model should be a lot smaller - 3b should be plenty if not 1b or less. As it stands, there are quite a few 7-13b model sizes that can predict natural language quite well. Code seems at its surface a much simpler language, strict grammars, etc so I wouldn't think it needs to be anywhere near as large as the nlp models. Right now people are retraining nlp models to work with code, but I think the best code helper models in the future will be trained primarily on code and maybe fine tuned on some language. I'm thinking less of a chat bot api and more of a giant leap in "intellisense" services.
osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to tell appearance preferences to set dark mode to not dark mode'
Is that 50% overhead for "Gather" instructions? If that is the case, then if 10% of instructions are "gathers" in your workload then that would be 5% overall.
No. Not necessary. You only need the verified NFT linked to “authentic” books. 3rd party service does minting and verification. It’s the same strategy luxury fashion houses are using with tagging physical products with NFTs for authentication
They don't care: you can use one of the systems with immutable root filesystems (eg. Ubuntu Core, Fedora CoreOS...), and you need to start a system from scratch for every "compilation" (you can optimize and keep the same image for one user: if they mess up the system, so be it).

Back in the day, one used chroot to achieve this, then we started doing VMs, and now it's possible to use "system containers" (eg. with lxd on Ubuntu: regular docker containers leak too much of the parent system into the container). Still, VMs are generally safer because it's harder to break out of the sandbox (eg. a system can be virtualized using different technologies, so finding an exploit in one will not make it vulnerable with another).

Eg. AWS Lambdas are implemented as quick-booting VMs using an optimized Linux image and optimized VM runtime (firecracker): not saying you need to go that far, but it should tell you what's possible.
I think outside of niche applications like extreme weather, fleet delivery or public share e-bikes, internal gear hubs and belts aren’t worth it. The efficiency is noticeable if you switch bikes or ride beside someone with a “normal” bike.

Especially not worth it now that midrange bikes come with disc brakes and 1x10 or 1x12 derailleur drivetrains (no front derailleur) that are reliable, efficient, light and inexpensive. Without a front derailleur adjustment is a cinch and any difficulty or mental load for a casual rider to change gears goes away. Things going slightly out of adjustment and then over time some gear combinations causing your chain to skip or fall off is almost a thing of the past.

And only the drivetrain is lower maintenance. Brakes are the same (unless you also decide you don’t really need effective brakes and go with roller/drum brakes over disc brakes). Maintenance of tires/punctures is much more time consuming.
Something like that, yeah.
To make Taiwan less critical makes it less attractive as a target - China won't be able to damage the US so much by taking Taiwan. It will be harder for China to force other people to accept their action.
I tend to avoid most of the United States related news, to me it is like a reality show or something.

I'd rather read about the US from another source, in tagesschau (https://www.tagesschau.de/), for instance.
"don't feel that expansionist"?!?

Sure, if you ignore their military actions and treaty violations in Tibet, Turkistan (Uyghurs), border conflicts around the Himalyas and India, Russia (border conflict), Korea, Vietnam, everywhere on the "9-dash line", Canada and the US (where they are putting up remote "police stations" to intimidate anyone expressing opinions they dislike)...

CCP has a highly consistent history of being as aggressive and untrustworthy as they can get away with. Anyone trusting them is a fool.
well, this is how real life works. This is how popular vote works. 99% of voters will never read any of that crap (maaaybe just the tldr from the news) but will happily opine, and popular vote is based on that. so not exactly uncommon.
Probably supports just AMD because the focus of this is for mini pcs from companies like Beelink etc that use either mobile AMD cards or on board graphics from an AMD chip. Mini pcs are currently dominated by AMD hardware.
Almost all of these exploits are due to the out-of-order/speculative execution.. which is incredibly complicated. There is no reason to believe that an out of order architecture that has not been hardened is any better at defense here than x86 - Just that as a minority architecture, it's still less profitable to target for exploitation. I have very little faith that the Apple ARM chips do better here without extensive exploit attempts made...
Maybe at Google everything is an endless sea of complexity. It sure isn't for me, I generally can have a dev environment up & going in a few minutes locally.
Yeah I've been trying, it has never been good for my mental health seeing all the negativity. Even sticking here to HN trying to only stay on top of tech related news, I still run into problems stumbling over news of negative things which I have no control over
Raku looks very horrifying if you want to actually do anything practical.

But that's some incredibly clever stuff! I wouldn't want to use it, for like, anything, but if there was a programming based game or code golf contest or something it would probably be a great choice.

And the original article talks about math, and I have no real experience actually doing nontrivial math IRL, so perhaps it has some useful properties for people who do.
But then your actual biometrics can get taken by the government, as illustrated in OP raid on warehouses.

Or Worldcoin leadership could use your biometrics for whatever they want e.g. stalking as done at Uber or forking their coin to fund a new ICO.
I've wondered if we can't give a dedicated core to the browser. Of course, then web pages can steal from other web pages. Maybe task switching needs to erect much higher barriers between security contexts, a complete flush or so?

I don't think Japanese look homogeneous personally.
I'm curious why they wouldn't mention a differentiator in the title.
No. The NFC chip plus the unique NFT makes it impossible to copy
I assume Taylor Swift’s marketing machine is in full gear to distract from her getting into a relationship with a racist.
I used to work in semiconductors as well. At the SAS A2/S2 lines right down the street.

I wasn't actually suggesting that I return to my former employer, although the thought has crossed my mind...

My reasoning for a move would be about all of the higher-order consequences of having well-compensated technology enthusiasts imported by the thousands.
Just as a couple of examples…

ARM has suffered from Spectre too: https://developer.arm.com/Arm%20Security%20Center/Spectre-BH...

There was also PACMAN: https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/06/10/new-pacman-flaw-i...

Speculative vulnerabilities have virtually nothing to do with the instruction set. Changing the language of the processor has little to do with how the processor works under the hood, especially for fundamental technologies like speculative execution.

Also, as a corollary, speaking the same language doesn’t mean every vulnerability is shared. AMD does not seem affected by Downfall, for instance.
You know I knew there was going to be something I really didn’t like about passkeys, and here it is
No, its not. While GPT-4 (like some but not all other LLMs) is somewhat nondeterministic (even at zero temperature), that doesn’t mean there aren’t things that have predictable effects on the distribution of behavior that can be discovered and leveraged.

The author alleges as much in TFA.
Nice writing style. Straight to the point because the author actually had something useful to say. A nice departure from the usual ‘pad it out’ approach that sadly you even see people take for their personal writing. So many people will lament recipe authors including 6 paragraphs of preamble, but will happily do it when they’re telling you about how they pwned their toaster or whatever.

When it gets down to brass tacks, I.e. the technical details section, it could really do with a once-over. One too many run-on sentences.
The log/slog package is huge. I'm super happy to see them start-again to express opinions and solve more problem with just the standard library; and I hope to see more of it. This was Go's Thing at 1.0; you could build a production ready, large scale HTTP service with nothing but the standard library; and, probably, a structured logging package like Zap. Now; looks like we may not need it!

If anyone on the Go team is reading this; thanks! And, as hacker news must always be the armchair commentator, if I may ask for an addition in go 1.22: encoding/yaml. Build it in. Go and YAML are the languages of devops, and I've written so many scripts with JSON as a configuration file only because Go has a JSON parser built-in, but not YAML.
Yes, certainly there's an internal reward system for crafting long written emails or essays, and AI would at a guess need at least 150 years to get close to this internal-interests (energy-directed) calibrated match of subjective input + subjective output.

LLMs currently do not do the best parts of subjectivity well at all, and the deeper these subjective systems, the worse AI gets at joining the party. So to speak. For this reason people are mainly using LLMs (whether they know it or not) to create better outlines from more basic outlines, and this outcome itself is pretty amazing really.

However for most people there is not such a deep subjective writing-focused reward system, known or acknowledged, let alone cemented, & this holds for business purposes most of all. So depending on where you work, I think you're already seeing much of the apex of LLM-driven communications, similar to the sense in which you could arguably see the apex of internet search no later than 1998, and the global advantages of Google Search no later than 2004 or so.

Interfacing is interesting though. I'd really like to see a kind of reverse-regex for LLMs, like let's say you're writing an email reply and want LLM prompts, and it's filled in one for you. But there's a little dialog where you can edit. You type in some code if you know it: In this case "sh*op" which means shorter, much more humorous, more open, and more personal. Or whatever the code needs to be.

This and other interfaces or innovations within the ecosystem are the interesting side of the communications aspect for me. Eventually I think it would open a new theory of energy-propagation via communications. Not that they don't exist already, but probably new theory that's way more interesting and surprising.

In my bias I say this after having journaled about 1K words of fiction for therapeutic-expressive stuff. ChatGPT does not know how to do this for me. There is no replacement for it. It stokes my energy and is not a chore. When I'm done I basically have a symbolic to-do list completed and more concrete ideas ready to migrate into the daily list. Watching ChatGPT do this for me is effectively meaningless. Somewhere between this and "same old business email" is a really interesting new world.
> There are hundreds of thousands of people that don't have it, many because they can't afford it.

Yes, but not in Massachusetts. If this were a federal program, then my eyebrows would raise. But it’s a state program.

There are already related subsidies and programs in less well-off areas in Massachusetts. I imagine you don’t know about them because they aren’t for you.

Do you live in an area in Mass where such a subsidy is needed?

Do you know anyone with an “Obama” phone (a federal program)?

Do they give out free internet-enabled tablets (a state program) in front of shopping centers where you live in Mass?

Based on your comment, it seems like you have good intentions. But what you said isn’t based in reality. It sort of reminds me of when I worked at Amazon in Cambridge and some program manager warned a new employee who just moved to the area not to go to Dorchester at all and especially not with $40 (literally) in his pocket as if Dorchester isn’t a suburb where people drive cars and pay more than that for gas and food daily lol.

Side note/tangent: Has anyone experienced or participated in what I call “white people urban legends” or “white people camp fire stories” in the workplace? I’ve worked at both startups and FAANG companies as a software engineer across the country for 10+ years. There’s always this phenomenon where people sit in a circle and tell each other ((and specifically usually a new employee as some weird initiation ritual I guess)) not to go to a “dangerous” area and start telling stories that happened to a “friend of a friend”. It almost seems like a game because laughter and jokes are involved. For example, “don’t go to Dorchester.” “Don’t go to Roxbury”. “Don’t go to Oakland. It’s dangerous”. ((As if these places aren’t already being gentrified out the wazoo. If you see white women jogging at night time there, then it’s not that dangerous guys.)) The program manager that I mentioned earlier was telling a story about his grandfather that happened in the 70s. He was literally warning people not to go to Dorchester because of that lmao. He literally said “my grandfather used to tell me all the time”. I laugh about this now. But it’s sort of sad that this happens at every workplace I’ve been at.
