good point. i did feel a bit of unease making that suggestion myself, like how bad does a comment really have to be before it is ok to call it to the attention of moderators? i guess i was reading much more into those terms that i should have. there is a category of maybe boring offtopic/ potential flamebait/ mildly inappropriate where it is possible to just ignore it or talk it out.
Maybe I'm misinformed but if they are leasing the space doesn't that mean they don't own it?

EDIT: And if they DO own it, it they would probably prefer to pay some rental management company to rent it out as office space for passive income rather than fill it with their own expensive employees.

Besides certain specialized entitlements, that's not how iOS apps have ever worked.

> That is not what that permissions tightening was like

We are talking about three different things.

1. With Android, you use to have to give an app all of the permissions it requested on first launch or not install it. That has never been the case on iOS.

2. Apple has put more things behind permissions as time goes on - what you are referring to.

3. Tightening permissions are like what I was referring to such as only allowing an app to have access to certain photos or contacts and adding GPS permissions to only allow an app to use GPS when the app is in the foreground.

There are some pretty important call-outs: "Study designs commonly suffered from a critical risk of bias. The effects measured in each study were variable in magnitude and generally of low precision."

> Real-world data is mixed up, messy, and requires a lot of work to extract, clean, normalize, etc. Typically fine-tuned embedding model would be needed.

I'd think the former is required for whichever strategy you choose, although I haven't found it necessary to fine-tune a base LLM.

What use case are you thinking of when you say, "typically fine-tuning is required"?
CouchDB is pretty nice, and gets less attention on HN than it deserves I think.

First time I heard about CouchDB was many years ago. I bought an O’Reilly book about it, even. At the time MongoDB was gaining a lot of traction, and I think because of that many people overlooked CouchDB.

I recently remembered CouchDB because I have some projects that could potentially benefit from replication between multiple machines. And in the case of my projects I think the database level would be an appropriate place to do replication. Hence CouchDB is an interesting proposition for my projects.

I installed CouchDB on my laptop for the first time in ages, and started inserting documents into it with a third party library for Rust. So far it is working nicely.
It's not hell because they carefully curate the set of libraries rather than having end-users attempt to have every combination of packages (and then blame microsoft for the dependency hell / lack of support for their exact configuration.).

Yes, you likely will either have to pay a monthly fee or own compute yourself.

Where did this expectation of free compute come from? Copilot costs too.
I understand you're characterizing the word "good" as some bad definition of "good" used by some subset of others, but your quotation marks are doing a Herculean amount of lifting (i.e. it's hard to tell what you're saying). I think most people would consider "engineers who value solving problems" as "good" and vice versa.

It really depends on the person. It's the case for some folks but definitely not all (not myself) and in that case, it's important to address the root cause. Our team actually advocates for mixed treatment when relevant (while acknowledging the provider shortage, differences in means/access to quality healthcare) - this usually includes working with psychiatric, clinical, counseling and psychotherapy practitioners (and/or coaches). These treatment protocols may include medication, therapy, and more. Doesn't need to be done all at once, but drawing on these tools as needed.

DIY is "Do It Yourself" as in, not having trained professionals do it for you, therefore, the whole thing is DIY. Sure, maybe less DIY than making a pickaxe out of stone and mining the raw metals to build a tens device from actual scratch, but doing it to yourself is doing it yourself.

Any standard library, or heavily used third party library. Just "go to definition" in your IDE and drill down under the hood.
I'd still consider all sci-fi stories and images quite inside the box thinking. The idea is that our brains are hard-wired to think the way they do. So we can't really think outside of our small subset of reality.

I believe, In the slim chance we encounter some kind of 'life', it wouldn't be even considered as life by our standards.

Just a simple quiz to exercise the brain:
- should life move at all?
- what's the maximum distance between molecules we can still consider as one entity?
- can a state of matter be 'life'. Not a matter itself, but just a state of it?
That makes no sense. If I had to choose between two people to lay off, why would I get rid of the person that performs better?
I've been saying this since I first encountered them. EULA's are different from conventional contracts in that there is no meeting of the minds that occurs, and no back and forth.

Business would be terrified at such a move though, as they'd actually have to receive and address customer concerns.

Consider:
If it were legally mandated that Google had to receive and individually address a request for "I want what you're offering, minus hoovering my data", and had to send a response to satisfy the meeting pf the minds requirement, it could nullify data/surveillance subsidized business models overnight. All of a sudden, there's no wiggle room left to say one thing, but act differently. Billions of people would end up having to be told "no, we specifically built this because your data has value that we want to tap."

That, even in corpo speak, creates a reputation. Suddenly, you have a company looking at you and saying "You just aren't the customer we want."

Which if you ask me, changes the game enough to actually get it looking something like good faith again.
Enjoyable read — would be nice to have 2014 in the title, it's easy to miss.

Global Warming will (and probably already has) completely ruined that calendar. The problem with creating such optimizations is over fitting (every ML person here should understand this).

There's nothing new in this. The default configuration doesn't require a PIN but the Microsoft documentation explains the various attacks and recommends setting a Bitlocker PIN which completely prevents this. The PIN can be quite weak because the TPM prevents brute forcing. See eg https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/operating...
I'd also be really keen on this.

> complex flow constructs, such as goto

Not a great start :)
I've worked pretty extensively with the Win32 API and Go. I needed to target Windows XP and had to use an older version of Go for stuff like reading/writing files, networking, etc. From what I could gather, newer versions of the Win32 API add abstractions that make common operations require less API calls. I remember needing to use 9 separate Win32 API calls just to bring a window to the foreground and set focus to it. So I think part of the reason Go drops support for older versions of Windows is they were able to simplify code on _their_ end by leveraging these new abstractions. I imagine Rust might be doing the same thing? This is all pure speculation and my memory is fuzzy on this, so take this with a grain of salt.
I’ve very often thought of those same parallel worlds myself. How few I probably inhabit today.

That seems like a likely explanation, probably won't get into legal trouble for using an OpenAI model for a research paper but redistributing said model may be upsetting enough for OpenAI trigger a legal challenge.

Unnatural language used davinci-002 although that was a while ago, they only say "similarly" in this paper and don't specify what they used. I can't see a reason why they wouldn't be releasing it if the unnatural prompts were generated by LLaMA2-family.

In any case, replicating this training seems trivial and very cheap compute-wise for anyone who wanted to do it.

Yeah this is the sarcastic take, but MS pushes people to get onto the insider preview to enable certain features. My surface pro wouldn't sleep properly, and only the "insider preview" would fix that for instance.

There is a difference between having a few apps crash more often, and literally having the offical MS help tell you, the only solution is to reinstall everything.

As a person with ADHD myself I'm definitely on the same wavelength with finding emojis distracting but a friend of mine finds them extremely engaging. I suspect that the emoji appeal is more whether you were raised in a setting with them embedded into speech or appended at the end of speech. That's all to say that I don't think the OP was really accurate when they said emojis distracted people with ADHD - it distracts some of us - and engages other[1].

I would also personally appreciate a more neutral professional tone to writing but it's important to get a wider understanding of your audience before over tuning your presentation.

I Haskelled quite a lot from 2014 to 2017 on a futile side project, and developed/extracted and maintained a few libraries on Hackage and a couple that were included on Stackage. In my experience most of the breakage comes from dependencies, not the language. The biggest shift in my time was the Functor-Monad-Applicative Proposal and I don't think that broke anything for me. Technically it was not even a change in the language but in core type-classes distributed with GHC and used in every Haskell program.

As far as I know, Haskell 98 still compiles most of the same programs it did 25 years ago. Some extensions that are commonly used have introduced breaking changes I believe, but I don't remember the details. But I gave up maintaining my projects because 1. I wasn't using them (because I moved away from Haskell, for mostly the reasons in the OP which I feel like I could have written myself almost) and 2. my dependencies kept breaking them.
Pluton rather than Proton, but yes.
Notes on this: We're not fucking robots and data is cold and boring. If people can't be free to be themselves, I don't see the value and suspect egotistical/protofascist-esque attempts to control others.

Thats kind of not true, someone bought windows(and not as cheap as people think) it's just that nobody really sees it as something different from the computer because it's bundled.

Enterprises pay a surprising amount of money to Microsoft usually in the form of monthly/annual pr user licenses(to the time of double digit percentages of the end user device budget) and yet no amount of badness seem to make anyone in those Enterprise departments think that they have any alternative and it's the same in the laptop space, where despite having to fork out whats often a double digit percentage of the retail price to Microsoft there is no serious appetite from hardware vendors or consumers to consider that maybe we could have a market where multiple Operating systems coexisted.

And your driver argument is exactly the weirdness here as people will absolutely hold anyone but Microsoft(especially smaller opensource competitors) responsible for bad drivers but with windows it's suddenly an valid excuse for bad experiences with windows.

This is trivial compared to people purposefully cutting each other off or willfully misunderstanding the project or issue being worked on.

I think that you are approaching this is making the mistake of treating each instance as identical when they are not. Different situations have different risks and you can't claim that a choice was wrong or stupid without understanding the specific situation. This is the difference between the usefulness of a heuristic in general, and the usefulness of a heuristic in a specific situation.

You can't claim that they put their lives at risk and made a stupid mistake without that information.

The same holds true for the covid example. You don't know the specifics and are making a generalization. It is in fact possible to go camping without interacting with people.
I wouldn't say it's harder to speculate the result of a conditional move, more that processors don't do it. Or even stronger, that a conditional move instruction is intentionally opting out of prediction for one reason or another.

There's no content in the thread. Top reply is: "because it was like this 1000 years ago." And that is not even certain; it's just an assumption. Then there is the "12 has so many divisors" shtick, for which there equally is no evidence. And then it stops. Nobody even mentions that Germanic share this, and that Romance languages have something similar, even though Latin didn't. It's a very poor discussion. There's no proof, there's no reason, there's no science.

Understandable, because it's just an artifact of language evolution, of which there are as many as there are words. It's surprising when you're a teenager, because it confronts you with the arbitrary nature of something that is totally natural to you, but that's about it. It's not exactly "prime numbers with quantum computers", "0-day exploits in Linux", or "advances in generative AI" territory. It makes for a cute half column in "Popular Science" magazine, not HN.

What is it that people love about Obsidian? (not trying to throw shade, genuine question as I never understood the hype)

Obsidian is not able to open a local folder on my machine stored in Windows Subsystem for Linux, which for me makes it a non-starter (my personal knowledge base is stored there).

I personally prefer the Notion UI but hate being locked into their cloud, so I created an offline-first Notion alternative [1]. Offline mode is totally free (no user registration required), and aiming to add cloud syncing tomorrow or so. Still in active dev so needs a lot of work, but wondering whether others might find this useful. Goal is to make it be able to seamlessly sync across multiple data sources, and also easily to publish files/folders (eg. can currently turn folders into APIs when synced to cloud).
