I guess the point is that getting the same performance in most other languages requires hundreds of lines of code. Here they are ostensibly achieving that performance using very succinct code. That is pretty nice especially if it integrates well with Python.
lemon laws will vary by state and level of impact. but, basically, yeah.

Oh, I totally get your point. And of course habits require energy spending (but less and less over time). But with adhd it’s kind of different game.

Like a mental „erectile dysfunction“ - if you *really* are in the mood it can be done, but if not there is no way to force it. (Except for some pills.) it’s not a willpower issue to begin with.
> vendors need to deal with bad code and products in realtime

One of the main reasons for coordinated disclosure is that, over time, it has become evident that vendors will not do that. We can say it until we're blue in the face, but vendor behavior will remain largely unchanged regardless (there are a few bright spots, but not nearly enough).

So you go to war with the army you have. In this case, that means frequently deferring/coordinating security event communications. As much as I wish the market would appropriately penalize vendors that encourage researchers to sit on 0-days, that rarely happens, and the cost of insecurity is passed onto consumers instead.

Tl;dr delaying disclosure does suck, but you should still do it.
All you need is attention?

CVS isn't "hard to learn", devs worthy enough to make meaningful contributions to OpenBSD can probably make sense of it in less than a day. It's just... extremely anti-ergonomic given the other options we have today.
No amount is too much to shield the management class from their consequences. It didn't put one dent in the managers finances to pay that out. Plus they don't have to go to prison.

It reads like your typical story where a Kennedy family member kills some girl and gets away with it (one of them went to prison once until the supreme court overturned the conviction).
Exactly the same happened to me & my family, and we've also appeared on NPR for a similar situation:

> https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/09/22/1121612...

My daughter died. Our story aired a year later. Another year later, so around 2 years after my daughter's death, I received a hospital bill for a little over $3,000, for her initial few weeks of ICU care. I never acknowledged it. I couldn't bring myself to call the hospital to setup a payment plan, say my daughters name in the same sentence as a dollar amount again. We haven't heard a peep since.

Every interaction I have involves checking out, standing before a sign that says, "all fees must be paid at time of service." I pay then, then months later get more bills to be paid well after the time of service.
>“I discovered that our commercial and international practices were very unprofitable,” she said. “And in order to keep the company profitable, they were passing those costs onto the U.S. government contracts.”

>At that moment, Feinberg told NBC News, “I realized that this was a very intentional setup. And it wasn’t just that there was the potential to overcharge the government; the rates were built to overcharge the government. If we should have been charging $100 to the government for an hour of work, we were charging $120 for that hour of work, so that that $20 could go to subsidize the international business.”

How is this fraud? In that line of work, it’s common to not charge customers the same price. Each contract is individually negotiated. And work for the US government is not necessarily even comparable to work for another entity. US government contracts are notoriously complex and fraught with red tape and legal risks.

Without knowing more, I’m kind of sympathetic to Booz Allen here. Settlement doesn’t mean admission of guilt. It just means they thought there was a risk of losing + risk of reputational loss + cost of litigation that it was worth paying $377 million to avoid.

> the most obnoxious programmer on the planet

hahaha Not by far... I used to work with an Erlang programmer (probably not really the reason he was so eccentric), and this guy was by far so full of oddity that was almost impossible for anyone else in the office to tolerate him. A brilliant programmer, but utterly incapable to having other humans around.
Sorry for the late answer, and the answer is - I actually do!
The difference IMO is that the person who wrote a Rust compiler over the weekend actually worked hard to arrive at such a point in their life, and instead of jealousy I feel a drive or a motivation, thinking 'Well, if I code/learn hard enough, maaaaaaaaybe I could do that at one point in my life'
Cool, but it has very little to do with Python, except some similar looking syntax.

So for a Python programmer with a performance problem, it doesn't look like a solution.
I’ve lived in quite a few different countries (including a couple that are frequently praised for their public healthcare systems), and the quality of the healthcare I’ve received in the US is far better than anything I’ve had anywhere else.
There are limits to what a homeowner can do without having their work signed off. For example adding a whole new circuit to their fuse box wouldn't be allowed. However, it is possible to have your work signed off by the building regulations authority. Even a full rewire could be done this way, obviously it needs to be compliant to be signed off though.
I feel the key point is they are not stating what they use the information for, therefore you cannot object what they are using the information for.

If you can demonstrate by questioning that they are obstructing what information is used for, specifically, then that will fall foul of EU intention for objecting to use of information. Run it by https://mastodon.social/@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk
Columbus Dispatch pauses AI sports writing program
Not the same thing, but another "single file app" platform in the space that looks interesting is https://val.town. Could be used as a backend for Mu apps
And before we ask that question we should ask how non-compliance is affected by edicts versus presentation of the costs/benefits of actions and the rationale for any suggestions.
I'm not a trained designer, and for that reason I would never attempt to design a color system with six different colors, and then shades / tones within each. Is that not overkill and unnecessary?

Mind you, I appreciate the suggestion to avoid Tool X (i.e., in this case HSL) but I can't help but believe they did themselves a disservice by choosing a six-color color system to begin with. In my eyes, mind and heart accessiblity and simplicity go hand in hand.

Fact: There's not a user in the world who wakes up and thinks "My day will be made if and only if I visit a site with an overly complicated color system."
I wonder how a settlement affects internal accountability.

If this went to trial and it were proven that the company did XYZ, or even individuals in the company did X, Y, Z, presumably the company would in turn fire/discipline the employees (nominally) responsible for doing X, Y and Z.

Now, someone at the company probably knows if someone did X, Y, Z, even if there was no admission of wrongdoing. Do these employees still get disciplined, or does this mean the company doesn't acknowledge it happened internally (if it did), or do the employees get bonuses if doing XYZ netted more money than the settlement cost?
I think the trend may be because longwinded writing gets you authority points on Google, or at least because writers think it does. Recall the famous laser printer review from earlier this year:

https://www.theverge.com/23642073/best-printer-2023-brother-...
I do think there are ways some economies could grow which would be good for both people and the planet.

For example, if agricultural productivity in the worlds poorest countries increased a lot (for example, through improved availability of fertilizer or modern seeds), it could serve to reduce deforestation in those regions by reducing the demand for more farmland. That sort of economic growth would help lift people out of extreme poverty.
Imo one part of the confusion and complexity is pricing. There is no standardized pricing. Many countries with government run healthcare systems solve this by not showing patients the prices and standardizing the price they pay to doctors etc. in the US you have the hospitals / health care providers, insurance companies, and patients all negotiating with each other. Some state governments tried to mandate a defined list of services and costs, but I don’t think it worked. Each provider categorizes things slightly differently. Also it seems the insurance companies and providers are fighting it out around what to pay, leaving the patient in the middle also trying to negotiate. It’s all very exhausting.
Thank you for recognizing that we were going nowhere. Apologies if my tone was sharp.

I am not evangelizing tech -- I am a polyglot and I use what I find is best suited for a job, and Elixir happens to cover quite a lot of ground. That's all really. I also use Rust and Golang quite a bit.

I simply get ticked off when people start demeaning something without seriously working with it or even reading a bit beforehand. Sorry if I mistakenly put you in that group.
Ask HN: How to motivate team to go beyond the job given that budget is limited?
After recent layoffs your team is not taking the ownership of the product.

How will you convince them to do overtime and come on weekends?
Similar to Bezos and Musk's hardcore style :)

How will you motivate to go beyond the job and deliver for the project? But the catch is that budget is limited.
This is incorrect. We continue to use it in a large rule engine for spam filtering.
it generally seems to be entirely seperated ive had multiple instances where the ui was slow, but i could easily use the api, i ended up building my own client for funs and its pretty useful now aswell :)

I thought attribution is required only if you redistribute the code. That’s why saas businesses don’t need to attribute when using open source code on their backend. Maybe a similar concept could be used for training data. I’m far from an expert so this is just a thought.
This is just elitism. Its guaranteed to be faster to copy and paste your snippet into an app, and have the app automatically detect the transformation you want to apply.

Hello, and thank you for talking about your work. Real stories from the industry like this are awesome to have.

As a fellow infosec person, I also struggle with keeping things brief. (Especially since I started out in digital forensics, where you can be extremely verbose.) It's counter to the inclination we have to checking every detail, I think. But I've found that I get 10x more people engaging with a 2-pager than a 10-pager. One of the things that really helps me is http://plainlanguage.gov.
Mozilla prism has been discontinued. Firefox first removed the feature by default and then removed it completely. IOS-add-to-home-screen always sucked.

We deserve a better SSB implementation. Stuff like 1-click-install would be dead simple if a browser would do it properly. Notifications, multiple instances, extensions and without the overhead from atom or toDesktop or whatever.
What’s your approach on evaluating an unofficial build?
For a lot of use-cases, it actually doesn't matter that much.
I know this is besides the point, but I've always been so happy that there are no cockroaches where I live... In fact so happy that I write comments like this, just so people know.
You're probably not downgraded, but rather the UI defaults to free plan, and once the API confirmed you're subscribed, the state switches to the "Plus" one. Same for chat history and more. Just give them moments to restore the backend and it'll come back surely.

Personally I saw "You've been flagged for suspicious traffic" for a few moments before the whole thing went down. I'm not using any extensions or anything extra, just raw vanilla ChatGPT Plus and been using it almost daily since ~1 week after GPT4 launch, with no malicious usage at all. So guessing that was also a temporary message because of some state shenanigans.
It seems there is still a possibility for passing information. For example, you can shove the little table across the barrier, or slowly slide it to indicate something. That's how the guy in the upper right passed it the first and second time.
Jassy said the quiet part out loud and admitted what I've always suspected, that most CEOs don't have original thoughts, instead governing by groupthink:

> Other company CEOs helped Jassy make up his mind too. Jassy spoke to "60 to 80 CEOs of other companies over the last 18 months," and "virtually all of them" preferred in-office work, he said.

I bet that none of those individual CEOs could empirically prove that remote work is bad, just as Jassy himself could not, but apparently there's strength in numbers.

https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-andy-jassy-no-data-re...

The CEO herd mentality is why entire industries make the same mistakes simultaneously.

It seems to me that this article is predicated on his friends not reaching out to him, leaving him to have to beg them to do things. Whilst it's true that some people might be less keen to hang out with their friends if all they ever do is moan about something, however I suspect with people who were previously good friends there's probably something else at play.

A less cynical view is that his friends probably don't know what they can do. If e.g. his mother is dying, they know he's going to be busy. I suspect a lot of people will deliberately be not trying to invite people out to do something all the time because they don't want to be a nuisance, all the more if they know there's a lot of stuff going on in their lives already.

Additionally, most people are just really busy worrying about their own lives, and while they would probably give up time to support you if you asked, if you're not asking, they're probably going to look after their wife / kids / job / whatever else it is that they don't have enough time for. It's very easy to forget about what your friends are going through for days, week or even months at a time, if you're busy all the time and your friends aren't initiating conversations with you either.

A final observation is that friendship is rarely reciprocated the same way between individuals, rather you might be the person one friend goes to for relationship advice, but you might always ask someone else. There'll be a different person who asks you about work advice, and who you ask, etc... Things will generally balance out over all your friends over your lifetime, but for any given friendship, it's unlikely to be equal at any point, let alone at the point you're most in need. At that time, you'll find out "who your friends are", but in most cases you probably won't be the rock those friends need in a different situation, and they'll rely on someone else.

On UK plugs at least, there are shutters and you need to insert something into the earth pin slot before they will allow you to access the live/neutral pins. On better sockets, the shutters then need simultaneous pressure on both live/neutral to completely release. The actual contacts in the socket are recessed too.

UK plugs and sockets are really, really, really safe. Except to stand on.
This brings back thoughts of the NTSC days and broadcast safe limits, and the horrible time of clients that loved loved loved red. Explaining to them how the beautiful red artwork will be anything but beautiful on TV was never fun, especially if they wanted it for broadcast. Even when it wasn't for broadcast, an illegal red could still be seen frames later, and would bleed like it just had its throat slit.
In large EVE battles you don't really see ships, you see lots of little boxes on the HUD and a list of hostile targets on the overview window.

Combat is all about range, and if you're close enough to actually see the enemy ship models, you're probably about to explode.

I'll be amazed if Star Citizen ever comes close to the scale of EVE battles, though. There's so many technical challenges in making an MMO scale, especially when a game is so focused on graphical fidelity.

(Then again, EVE is a 20-year-old game at this point, and was designed for the limited PCs and bandwidth of the time. But I'm assuming that they're using modern top-end hardware for the servers, and they still struggle with the biggest battles)

I got tired of tracking the status of my job applications in spreadsheets and emails, and built Rolepad (https://rolepad.com) to help with that. The goal is to help applicants focus on their job process and not expand mental energy on the mechanics of tracking dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of job applications.

The tool is free and helps you manage your job applications, pipeline status, interviews, emails, notes, etc. Notable features include the ability to leave detailed reviews of your job process (+ read others' reviews and get various per-company stats... this is new, went live yesterday - tracking more fine-grained data than Glassdoor and others), forwarding emails to save@rolepad.com so they can be tracked as notes within Rolepad, sharing your progress via Sankey charts, and more.

Nice idea and all, but I think their methodology was totally unsuited to the task. What they actually assessed was whether an LLM can recognize an accurate summary of a given article, not whether the LLM can produce an accurate summary itself. Here's their description of it:

> We used a 3-way verified hand-labeled set of 373 news report statements and presented one correct and one incorrect summary of each. Each LLM had to decide which statement was the factually correct summary.

The problem with this approach is its assumption that if an LLM can recognize an accurate summary, it'll be able to reliably produce accurate summaries. We know very little about the inner workings of LLMs right now, and what we do know suggests that they work highly counterintuitively, so I think there's no basis to make this assumption.
I too bring my horse everywhere. I do not rely on such devious gas monsters on 4 wheels.
It's Electron-based, yes. Anyone using it on Wayland with fractional scaling will know that...
Unless development is freezed, I don't think locally hosted LLMs have a 100% uptime, but surely the uptime is much greater than OpenAI's ChatGPT uptime at this point.
I have found it pretty decent at explaining math and physics concepts, and generating some basic code. It seems over-tuned for code generation (on purpose) as sometimes it inappropriately generates code when asking non-code questions.

Overall, it performs better than GPT-3.5-turbo in many use cases. Harder to quantify the GPT-4 comparison, as there are multiple versions of GPT-4 which are rumored to have significantly varied outputs.

It's definitely worth giving a shot. The parameter size of 34B makes a big difference, and it's been found that you're still better off extremely quantizing a larger-parameter model than using unquantized smaller models.
"If you don't like reality, numb it out like the rest of us man."
