Easy.

Let's start by looking at what typical tokens are.

A fungible token is simply a store of the following records:

(public key, amount)

There is a stored procedure that lets anyone with the private key to lower the "amount" value on their row and increase the "amount" value on another row by the same amount. There's no tracking of which part of the amount came from where, the "tokens" are fungible.

Now let's look at what a non-fungible token is.

It's a store of the following records:

(public key, id)

Whoever has the private key can change the public key field in the record.

That's... it.

You can add a table that has

(id, metadata, url), that's common and what you see with most shown NFTs. There's some helper functions but really that's the essence of it.

None of that necessitates it being sold as an investment in a common enterprise any more than selling bits of paper with a number and a signature on them does. Signed prints by an artist aren't securities, your place in the line in a queue isn't a security, a concert ticket isn't a security.

You can obviously however treat the above data structure as representing some kind of security. This is true with fungible tokens too, a list of shareholders is essentially the same structure. So it comes down to how it's sold.

We have a cloud offering at https://trypromptly.com. We do offer enterprises the ability to host their own vector database to maintain control of their data. We also support interacting with open source LLMs from the platform. Enterprises can bring up https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI, run Llama or others and connect to them from their Promptly LLM apps.

We also provide support and some premium processors for enterprise on-prem deployments.

I've been a personal paying customer going on 2 years now. The biggest benefit I get from fig is their "build a script / cli" functionality. With it you can define UI elements like "list all branches" and you have a nice UI sector and then you can string together code snippets using the outputs of the UI elements. So I have some fig scripts that prompt me for half a dozen inputs and then execute bash and python based on the outputs.

Fig has been a godsend for acting as glue for one-off bash scripts that are added to repos.
That sounds like totalitarianism.

As a point of comparison, we don't talk about "ethical plumbing" as a term. If a company hires a plumber to fix their bathroom, they're just a plumber. If somebody breaks the law to enter a place and mess with the pipes, they're just a trespasser.

But the companies that brand themselves as selling "ethical" penetration testing, and sell certifications for "ethical hacking" would very much like you to lump other companies and other security researchers who are operated legally into the same mental bucket as criminals by implicitly painting them as "unethical".
Lots of US bound traffic took very southerly routings today to avoid UK airspace. My guess is that this will continue until the outage is completely resolved.
Should your ISP be able to MITM all of your traffic just because it's going over their network? If not, then what's the difference?

This makes me miss Blackstar Co-op in Austin, TX. Great microbrewery with excellent food that has a hybrid worker/consumer ownership model. If you're ever in the area (and if it's still around, it's been years since I've lived there) look it up!
I mean: http://www.pizzamyheart.com/menu/

Maybe there's more to the prices than the co-op structure?

The issue is simple to resolve - most ui frameworks will have some sort of virtual table that only display and manage elements user will see, so just use that (react window does that, but there are table variants that are doing all the work as well). This is a limitation of a browser/UI/OS more then react, as any ui element comes with a cost, though you'd need to know someone who knows about browsers, ui libraries and operating systems to explain where the cost comes from exactly, and you won't be able to do anything about it anyway (that's the problem with the frontend).
> * Consumers despite "Least common denominator" which is often the result of "design by committee". Usually consumers are after something niche, unique, artistic, and creative, which is the inspiration or vision of an individual.

Dollars to donuts you wrote that bullet point without having read the article:

* the extant worker-owned restaurant discussed in the article is the epitome of "something niche, unique, artistic, and creative," which was "the inspiration or vision of" the owner making a pitch to the staff to become worker-owned. It even mentions getting employees because of the unique approach. I can't imagine they haven't drawn non-trivial consumers to their restaurant for the same reason

* pictures of the food exist in the article

In short: I know "design by committee" food. I've worked with "design by committee" food. That fried chicken sandwich, sir, is no "design by committee" food.
> This is an unexpectedly emotionally strong response, indicating antipathy towards billionares ... Would you like to explain the backstory?

You overthought there. It was meant to be a sarcasm against the toxic internet fanboyism.

From my experience, many of the tech hypes from the last decade have been driven by cult-like fandoms literally worshiping large tech companies and their billionaire CEOs. It's beyond my understanding how people spend their free time and energy just to endorse and protect such businesses, who will do good even without the worshipers anyway. Yet, fanboys actively try to express their loyalty, and keep disturbing others with bold claims (which are borderline misinformation). This hurts people by causing unnecessary FUDs and exposing unsuspecting victims to unstable experimental products. This is the dark side of hype.

> Tools, even those tools created by forces you oppose, can serve your ends.

First, it's not "oppose"-ing. It's about not choosing at all.

Second, that's basically how everything work. Even though more than 99.99% of the global population is uninterested in the optical system of EUV photolithography, its design has been continuously improved and allowed us to get power efficient high performance chips, impacting practically the entire planet. Impact alone can't be a reason for attention, or everyone must get bombarded by a large volume of information everyday.

> Anyhow, for what it is worth, this line of discussion is quite different from my point, which was largely epistemological, pointing out that the word 'usefulness' is hardly operational unless specified.

Show HN: It’s so hard to focus during work with ADHD
Hi all,

Sooo ive spent years and years battling ADHD behind a desk, and still, I haven't found that 'one' tool to keep me focused.

I'm pretty sure I've sampled a galaxy of productivity tools, and yet, not a single one seems to be designed for an ADHD brain like mine.

Here's the loop I find myself in:

1. Realize I've done nothing at work and feel overwhelmed and stressed.

2. Hit Google: "Top ADHD productivity tools," "Best ADHD time-management…." you name it.

3. Sign up for EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

4. Feel like I'm drowning in a sea of features, but still used it.

5. Few days later, forget the tool even existed.

6. When I do remember, oops, too late, I’ve lost interest.

7. Realize I've done nothing at work and feel overwhelmed and stressed.

It's a never-ending cycle, and I've had enough. Since I’m a software engineer, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I've just launched a to-do list designed for ADHD minds.

It’s been helping me and my colleagues stay focused at work.

Bring a spare set or two of over the head ear muffs. Really hard to get those wrong...
At the range with friends I'll usually loan out my old pairs. I have a couple various quality/tier electric ear muffs, and some old school regular ear muffs.

The electric ones, even the cheap ones, usually get people interested in getting a pair. Being able to hear conversations, but still dampen gunfire is really nice.

I joined Audible a few years back and although most narrators are OK, I noticed very quickly how a bad narrator could ruin an audio book. I started paying attention to who the narrator was, and Ray Porter immediately stood out as one of the best. Someone else must have noticed too, because he's narrated a surprising number of the books I've read so far.

> if it is marketed, bought, sold, and held as a money-making thing, it's a security.

At face value that definition would, of course, include commodities and futures, which it doesn't. There must be more to the definition.
Given the aggressive response from this company, it is less likely that it will become the target of any security researchers in the future (who wants the hassle ?). That by itself makes their app less secure in the long term. Also, who'd want to support founders with this "I will destroy you!, even though you helped me improve my system" mentality ? I wouldn't be surprised if this startup dies off from this info.

Kudos to Cooper, Miles and Aditya for seeing this through.

Then you are just changing one form of bad communication with another form. When a test indicates that there is cancer, the physician is not supposed to say "you have cancer" but rather "there is X% probability that you have cancer." If the test comes back negative, it should be "there is Y% probability that you have cancer" where presumably Y<X.

> How do we influence, encourage, and require memory-safe languages?

Most programming languages are memory safe, but regardless of that fact software needs to be fuzz tested. When input X breaks software it indicates it wasn't adequately tested.

Companies integrating open source software have the opportunity to audit the code, contribute test cases, and fund development. How about contributing instead of complaining?
Most people work in most companies that mostly fail over time. Making a living is the goal with work, building enduring value is something that few achieve.
Like so many idealistic things, this kind of setup works only as long as the people joining or taking responsibility for the thing continue to have and practice the same ideals as what started it.

Start to lose that just a little bit, where responsibility gets diffuse, the original intention gets lost, or you start hiring people who don't have the same understanding, and it all falls apart.

Not every worker wants to have an equal share of the grunt work. Not every worker believes that they contribute equally to the success of the restaurant and are willing to split the proceeds in that way. Not every worker wants to have to live the restaurant as if it's their life.

Worker owned coops have as many failure modes as "evil" corporate ones do. And in some senses are all the more disappointing because of it.

They already fooled us before with their original mission statement in [0]:

Before:

> Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.

Now:

> Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity. [1]

I already assume that anything that is sent to OpenAI, they will train it for their next AI models regardless of their public statements or they can do whatever they wish with the data that you send them.

Any hot takes on what the median application of this looks like at a practical level? What springs to mind for me is replacing the classic "weed-out" tiers of customer service like phone trees, chatbots that are actually crappy FAQ/KB search engines, and human representatives who are only allowed to follow a script. On balance, this might even be a win for everyone involved, given how profoundly terrible the status quo is. While it's sort of terrifying at a philosophical level that we might be mollifying the masses with an elaborate illusion, the perception of engaging with an agent that's actually responsive to your words might make the whole process at least incrementally less hellish.
I could use DirectByteBuffer instances as CHM values. But Java deallocates the backing memory of DirectByteBuffers during object finalization. If there is no on-heap memory pressure then there is no GC and thus no finalization. So it would leak offheap memory. I could also use Unsafe to hack into DirectByteBuffer and call the Cleaner explicitly. Many libraries do that anyway. But then I would still need some kind of reference counting to make sure I won't deallocate a buffer with active readers.
The reason why I used a Linux machine while my Mac was being repaired is because I would never even consider Windows. I needed to get important work done, uninterrupted. With very minimal time to tinker with the system. Linux was a total disappointment, but at least I could get through the time while the Mac was being repaired. If something like this happens again, I'll just try to Hackintosh any machine, because you might have to tinker and hack and pull your hair as much as with Linux, but in the end you can get a decent system for non-dev work.

Is this a post-pandemic thing? Like so many people are just walking out without paying the bill these days that they have to charge the card before you eat?
