I had to google Ableton.
This would be great if I had a beefy machine with 32GB ram and 16 cores. The alternatives presented are to use either Together or Standard api's to run llama-code. Both have a free tier but eventually you wind up paying. Has anyone calculated the financials and determined that the cost of these alternatives is less than copilot? Cost aside, there's a concern of quality.

I should just buy a super computer..
Yes however the difference is that ZFS was made closed source by Oracle and then basically the entire ZFS team quit oracle to work on OpenZFS instead.

With Hashicorp, the project is still "open source" but under a license that makes it potentially dangerous to any competitors. That makes it much harder for a fork to operate without exposing itself to legal risk. For example if any of the code implemented on the fork after the change was too similar to code by Hashicorp that could open the fork devs up to a legal battle.

With ZFS that was never a concern since the new changes weren't publicly available on the closed source version and importantly all the brains behind the project promptly quit to work on the open source version instead.

TFA suggests these companies hold large amounts of commercial real estate as long-term investments, so “let the lease expire” is likely not an option.
Ah yes, person is great because they started off with resources other people don't, and were able to leverage those resources to get even more resources. Truly, we should all emulate that.

Oh, most people don't start off rich? Oh what a shame.

Elon bought Tesla, Elon is only vaguely a part of SpaceX, and every single other venture he has been involved with has either gone nowhere, been a scam/grift/lie (boring company, hyperloop, neurolink though it shouldn't be judged just yet) or even classic nepotism with Solar roofing.

Elon is such a good businessman, which is why he bought Twitter at the peak of it's valuation, continually flakes on all it's bills, publicly admits to losing half of that peak value, saddled it with a billion dollar a year debt, erased any brand recognition it might have to replace it with a stupid domain name he has been obsessed with for twenty years, lost half of the advertising revenue, blocked it off from public access, fired anyone who isn't a sycophant, and repeats really dumb conspiracy theories about fucking everything.

I am not going to defend Zoom's RTO plan because I do truly believe that most people who work on computers can work remotely (I do, and I enjoy it).

However ... this feels correct. This is basically the same as saying that Zoom is a meeting tool and there is a lot more to building a trusting and productive team than just having meetings. Building a happy remote team is definitely not a simple task. Sounds like Zoom is not doing what it takes, I think that says worse things about their company than their product.

Sort of. I created this page to just show what can be done with pgAudit. But what I do at Rocketgraph is more. I provide Authentication, Postgres and GraphQl console. Postgres logger is an extension for demo purposes. In the future I plan to add slack alerts when a developer DROP's a database accidentally. And much more. Configuring AWS RDS is a pain.

I wrote about it here: https://blog.rocketgraph.io/posts/install-pgaudit

That's why I automated the process. Now every project comes with Postgres and pgAudit configured, Authentication, GraphQL and front-end SDKs right out of the box so it will be easier to develop web applications.

> This security pop-up is all about trying to stop attackers that have compromised your account. If someone steals your laptop, or a malicious remote desktop app turns on, and you're already logged in to Gmail, the pop-up should at least keep the attacker away from the worst settings. Filters are a security risk since a lot of other sites notify you of purchases and sensitive changes to your account with an email, and a common first step in an attack is to hide these emails with a filter. Forwarding and IMAP both duplicate your incoming emails to other places and could allow people to quietly spy on you or steal credentials.

> I'm probably violating the TOS, and I'm sorry.

Reverse engineering is fine. It certainly is from a moral point of view, and also from a legal one in a lot of jurisdictions.

TOS depend more on the fact that you’ll behave than on whether they can actually be enforced (most have unenforceable clauses).
At least we have to do a bunch of work to add dark modes to individual programs instead of just changing a few settings and having it work globally.

I don't think it's any more alarming than people posting that they find Stack Overflow useful sometimes. That's why it became popular, right?

Similarly for searching the Internet. Internet searches are potentially dangerous if you can't tell good answers from bad. But if you treat it as a source of hints that you need to verify yourself, it's a pretty good source of hints.

Many of us have learned quite well that LLM's are unreliable. Someone posts about the problem whenever it comes up. It's something close to conventional wisdom.

It's still surprising the first time you see it hallucinate, though. You have to see it for yourself. Once you've seen it a few times, it isn't so convincing anymore.
>> On the contrary, it’ll happen much sooner. About $626B in debt is coming due for debt collateralized by office buildings in the near term

Not quite, I dont think. If defaults happen, the new owners get the building at lower prices and thus will be willing to lease at lower prices...making RTO more feasible for companies.

Coaching works best for those who are ready for forward movement: unlike most types of therapy, coaching is goal-oriented / solution-oriented and requires the member to be in a good enough space to want to look into the future & put in the work. Often members use therapy / medication in tandem with coaching.

Coaching works least effectively for those with severe comorbidities like depression/anxiety/bi-polar that are not concurrently being treated or at least do not significantly impair their day-to-day functions.

We have really extensive testimonials on our homepage (you can load more as well) but a few of my favorites are: (1) a 45-50 y/o man who got promoted after thinkng he would not ever get promoted again—now he is director level and manages dozens of reports and has a renewed sense of confidence in himself; (2) and 24-34 grad student who was able to find her dream job post-MBA after burning herself out at almost every other job she's had before and never feeling like she "fit"; her Shimmer coach helped her look at jobs that fit her unique ADHD, find ways to approach the job hunting process in a way that fit her brain, and then eventually secure that job.

> Rather than train the AI to recognize whole words, the researchers created a system that decodes words from smaller components called phonemes. These are the sub-units of speech that form spoken words in the same way that letters form written words. “Hello,” for example, contains four phonemes: “HH,” “AH,” “L” and “OW.”

This is nifty. Also I'm oddly comforted by the fact that this system doesn't "read thoughts". It just maps slightly upstream from actual speech to the relevant speech/motor production regions of the brain. So no immediate concern for thought hacking...

Separately, this makes me wonder what such a system would be for deaf people (with signing ability) who have lost their ability to move their arms. I imagine–optimistically–that one could just attach the electrodes to a slightly different area in the motor cortex and then once again train an AI to decode intent to signs (and speech). So basically the same system?
Not yet, but the relevant data for doing this is mostly public, and if anyone wanted to work on it, we'd certainly be interested in what they came up with.
Here is benchmark done by independent team of researchers https://openml.github.io/automlbenchmark/

Who will make these loans? Lending has dried up for office space, and mid sized banks are in distress over these debts. Maybe PE or hedge funds can piece financing together, but without easy loans from banks, financing will be costly, impairing what purchase price you offer.

That is an uncomfortable conversation because it’s not true but they pretend it is. Especially on the more peripheral islands. Okinawa, Hokkaido.

It’s a hilly archipelago nation. There are many traditions specific to one island and not held in common culturally with the rest of the Nihonjin.

On the other hand, because their culture is “taller” instead of broad, I see many ways in which particular arts and crafts have a depth that European trade and craft cultures rival, but do not exceed. Calligraphy is just bonkers. Especially if you include the toolmaking.
What struck me is his processes of doing all his writing in the morning "because no one has had time to call me up and hurt my feelings." It sounds kind of silly, but it also makes a ton of sense. It's so hard to be creative and in a flow state when you have other thoughts (especially personal relationships) encroaching on your focus.

I got to go listen to Michael Chabon give a lecture once, and he also does all his writing in the morning. 4 hours of uninterrupted writing every day is all it takes to be an author, he said. But it's critical that it's uninterrupted and that it is every day, even if it sucks and you aren't in the mood and you only get one ok page or one good paragraph out of the whole 4 hours.

I'm not from Seattle or the US so don't know that stereotype. In the same way, I don't expect restaurants to use QR codes for menus because it's fairly rare in my experience, so no I would not plan for it.

I prefer it when venues like restaurants design for all and don't expect knowledge of local customs.

> Once again it seems like you want me to inconvenience myself because you don't want to make the effort.

This is not the conclusion most would draw from this. If anything it seems fairly well understood that QR menus are mostly beneficial for restaurants not diners.
Thank you; that makes sense. I can see that viewpoint, but I'm torn on whether I agree with it.

On the one hand, it's at the very least considered good UX to inform users of information regarding their account status that impacts their experience.

On the other hand, it's probably acceptable for a place called "Hacker News" to hide some community features behind "You have to demonstrate some willingness to do some computer sleuthing to learn this detail."

It seems to me to be a missed opportunity. If you believe Zoom is merely a video conferencing app then of course Zoom is only meaningful as that. But remote work is not going away and there is an opportunity to support it by being more than simply video conferencing.

Zoom is a remote work product. Zoom says there's a lot of remote issues. That says to me that there is an opportunity to dogfood their own product development. Just going back to the office is a huge waste of potential.
Implementing Type Inference for Data Validation

>How does something infinite "expand" though?
It's not expanding into anything, because it's infinite.

I’ve found it easiest to think of this in one dimension first.

Imagine a number line. It’s infinite in both directions, in the sense that you can move along it and never reach an end. Suppose we’re sitting at X=0 and look in the positive direction at X=1. That point is distance 1 away from us. Look the other way at X=-1, and that point is distance 1 away, too.

Now let’s multiply the number line by 2. The point that used to be 1 is now 2, and 2 is now 4. 0.5 is now 1. Look in both directions, and it’s still infinite by the same definition; you can travel in either direction and never reach an end. We’re still at X=0 and look in the positive direction. The point that used to be 1 is now distance 2 away. Same with what was previously -1.

There’s nothing special about the location at the origin either. If we had originally sat at X=10 and looked at X=11, we’d now be at X=20 and looking at X=22: a distance of 2 away. In this way, every point has an equal claim to being the “center of expansion.”

In one dimension, this is equivalent to saying that “space expanded,” it was infinite before, and it’s infinite after expansion.

Author here. Zero-length arrays are used in the narrow domain you mention. but they are rare in bread-and-butter Java programming.

I suspect every JVM heap alloc is implemented by doing an alloc in Go. The JVM references to the object are pointers in the Go VM. So no special magic is needed. When the Go VM stops referencing an object, the Go GC will collect it.
What is the job of a chief executive? Optimists say “make the company more profitable”, pessimists say “grow personal wealth and prestige“.
