"From engineers troubleshooting bugs, to data analysts clustering free-form data, to finance analysts writing tricky spreadsheet formulas—the use cases for ChatGPT Enterprise are plenty. It’s become a true enabler of productivity, with the dependable security and data privacy controls we need."

I'm sorry but the financial analyst using chatGPT to write their excel formulas for them, and explicitly calling out that it is generating a formula that the analyst can't figure out on their own ("tricky") is an incredibly alarming thing to call out as a use case for chatGPT. I can't think of a lower reward, higher risk task to throw chatGPT at than financial analysis / reporting. Subtle differences in how things are reported in the financial world can really matter
Now I'm curious, can you point to what most people are doing wrong, and what leads people to hate doing it right? (Does it cause pain or something? What's the resistance?) Even if just a link or a video.

> Unfortunately it is also exceedingly likely that the folks who shoot at road signs as their particular outrage against government are most likely to think that surveillance drones are there to spy on them, and not inspect infrastructure.

I think you're conflating issues. At least where I grew up, people didn't shoot road signs out of anger at the government. They did it out of boredom. Sometimes as a competition with friends, sometimes alone. I never partook myself.
Roadside picnic is so ridiculously melancholy. Everyone in that book is so depressed! I also don't think I've ever seen so much smoking and drinking in a sci-fi book. You could tell the brothers were really not enjoying communism.
Do you not feel jealous of the people here who write a Rust compiler over the weekend, make a 7 figure salary at their first job, give lectures on quantum physics at their local community center, sell their bit toggling SaaS so they can retire early, work out every morning, and who are able to save the world from hunger by promoting nuclear energy?

In other words, it might be wise to start avoiding Hacker News as well, because it is also a social network.
> I'm confused by your perspective here. Yes, they're both by default unregulated, and that's the point.

Speech and perception are both unregulated actions by default. But we're not talking about trying to preserve the freedom of perception, but rather we're trying to regulate perception to prevent unwanted perception.

"Congress shall make no law" works for speech, because the goal is to preserve the basic legality of speech and prevent speech from being regulated. Whereas for perception, the default state is full of unwelcome perception (just as the default state of speech is full of unwelcome speech!). So it's not necessary for congress to make a law for there to be unwelcome perception, rather it's necessary for congress to pass laws to prevent unwelcome perception.

Ultimately I'd say that negation is very important, especially due to the negative framing of rights, as it creates a double negative with its associated uncertainty. Does this clear up what I'm saying?

Separately, I don't love "unwelcome" but I also don't see a straightforward replacement. I think "perception" is itself an interesting way to frame things, although I'd be extremely worried about things like surveillance companies claiming that their databases of dossiers aren't themselves perception, and it's only things like reports that are.
1. There are hearing disorders related to noise exposure that may come without detectable hearing loss, like hyperacusis and tinnitus. See "Hidden Hearing Loss".

2. Most hearing tests only go up to 8 kHz.
Wow, I had no idea they were that bad. 22NRR for guns at close range is...not much. Most range shooters will be using at least 30+ (which is WAY MORE than ~40% effective - decibels are logarithmic). Some will even wear 30+ plugs under 35+ muffs. (Which don't add, btw, again, logarithms, but doubling up does get you a few extra decibels reduction over either component alone.
I know a bunch of folks that will take that as a challenge…
Reminds me of my own SAAB story. My first car was a used SAAB 900S, which I bought from a dealer. Luckily, I had also purchased a warranty.

SAABs had a quirky design where the ignition was set in the space between the front seats, on the floor. The ring gear in the starter motor got stripped, and they had to drop the transmission to get to it. That was a $9000 repair in the late 80s. I only had to pay the deductible, which was $100.

Not a bad deal.

Cali AG Challenging School District’s Forced Outing Policy
There are well-defined interfaces for specific sub-classes of telemetry data. Prometheus provides a set of interfaces for metrics which are pretty battle-tested by now. There are similar interfaces for logs and traces, authored by various different parties, and with various different capabilities, trade-offs, etc.

There is no one true interface! The interface is a function of the sub-class of telemetry data it serves, the specific properties of the service(s) it supports, the teams it's used by, the organization that maintains it, etc. etc.

OTel tries to assert a general-purpose interface. But this is exactly the issue with the project. That interface doesn't exist.
Around last March I was intrigued (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35236635) that ChatGPT's URL was a bit convoluted ("http://chat.openai.com/chat"). OpenAI fixed it in April.

This got me thinking: what takes so long to deploy a minor feature like this one on a product with 100M+ users?

(To be clear: this is not to point out incompetence on OpenAI's side, of course. On the contrary, I want to understand what I am missing)
Uneducated hypothesis; the choice of a mast year isn't random, but is some sort of response to the environment. If that's true, then multiple trees in the same environment will tend to have the same mast years.

While there's merit to that idea, we don't want to discourage people learning, do we?

Ideally we'd learn about other people's problems BEFORE they become our problems so we're prepared to deal with them. Or we can just want to expand our realm of knowledge.

I don't think you "need" either. It's just a conversation about what the market will reward.

Or, there won't be any replacement and the majority of people in domestic households just keep doing that little remainder part because it's not really a big deal.

This all holds perfectly with the flying car analogy -> ground cars are pretty much fine. We could try way harder to make them flying-grade at a consumer level, or we can just keep driving road cars (or taking public transit) and be happy. That's the fundamental thing that 60s futurists missed when envisioning the future.

It's funny how old relatively modern foods can be, and how new seemingly traditional dishes are.

Any European dish with tomatoes or potatoes in it is less than 500 years old. Meanwhile French Onion soup hasn't changed much since the Roman era. Kombucha may have been tranding recently, but it dates back thousands of years, meanwhile the relatively simple ciabatta roll was created in the 80's.

Even if this "surgery" took place in California, and the "surgeon" was the UK, and 5G was involved, wouldn't it still via fiber? I feel like I'm missing something with these claims, are they saying they'll use 5g at the nodes, instead of some other wireless tech?

Interesting concept and I'd love to play, consider no registration required and I'll give it a shot.
When I enlisted into the US Army in 2006, a hearing test was done for all of us as part of the initial entry stuff. Then we had hearing tests every so often since, maybe every year or two. In my case, and I suspect for most, any hearing loss while in service is likely to be documented. I did not have any, and I also didn't use the specific earplugs the lawsuits are about.

Although that does require the hearing tests to be done correctly. It was hard to tell sometimes if I heard the tone or imagined it.
I remember this one popping up on LinkedIn. I pointed out that 5G or not, speed of light is a thing and makes this claim unlikely. People called me names…
Interesting - I tried Fig for few days few months ago, it gave me more headaches than relief so uninstalled it. Surprised that it made into a viable product and shocked it actually got acquired.
Even with all that, almost everyone loses hearing as they age, so you'd really have to shnow not just loss, but loss beyond what'd be expected from a population being nearly 30 years older.

It's hard to have a fair comparison, and both compilers are also moving targets.
I tried to do some comparison in a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37300279

The best is to mention both (as well as GFortran), and users can decide. For LPython (https://lpython.org/) we list all of the about 30 Python compilers at the webpage, but beyond that it's very hard to have a meaningful comparison.
Kenrokuen Garden: Japan’s most celebrated landscape garden
I agree. It is an amazing, quasi-anachronistic novel. Speaking of Utopia, Melville offers his own vision of it in Chapter 94, A Squeeze of the Hand:

Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers’ hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as much as to say,—Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.

Would that I could keep squeezing that sperm for ever! For now, since by many prolonged, repeated experiences, I have perceived that in all cases man must eventually lower, or at least shift, his conceit of attainable felicity; not placing it anywhere in the intellect or the fancy; but in the wife, the heart, the bed, the table, the saddle, the fireside, the country; now that I have perceived all this, I am ready to squeeze case eternally. In thoughts of the visions of the night, I saw long rows of angels in paradise, each with his hands in a jar of spermaceti.

It's an odd fish.
Fortunately, the 'West' is larger than just Hollywood.
That's one view of what a company should do. Another is that it should become famous enough to attract the attention of a FAANG and get bought out ASAP, making the founders multimillionaires before they turn 30. It's the techbro lottery. Many will play, few will win.
But that's exactly the point, an enterprise offering should be able to provide guarantees like this while also allowing training - model per tenant. I think the reality is they are doing multi-tenant models which means they have no way guarantee your data won't be leaked unless they disable training altogether.
A couple of lifetimes ago, a business mentor of mine taught me a truth that has served me very well.

There is a correct amount of money for starting a business, and it's probably less than you think it is. Too much money in a startup tends to gum up the works and can kill a business just as dead as not having enough. If you have too much money, you're not only going to blow it on things that don't matter, but when you do, you're likely to do so in a way that incurs ongoing costs.

Things like leasing fancier offices than you need (or, in some cases, leasing any office space at all), hiring more people than you need, etc.

As he put it, if you're starting a business and aren't worrying about how you're covering your expenses next quarter, you probably have too much money.
> An old-fashioned file is not the logical extreme of anything. ... Instead we don't even have a good way to do any kind of networking.

One can take this further. There was a forgotten system called ChiOs which started with "A bit is a file. An ordered collection of files is a file." and went downhill from there.

"Everything is a file" has its limits.

I rather liked QNX. QNX is a microkernel with microservices.
Everything is an inter-process function call. Call, wait for response or timeout.
Works both locally and remotely. Very fast locally. There's a POSIX library, but when you call "read", some glue code makes a call to the file system service.

As a base abstraction, remote procedure calls work better than files. Files implemented via RPC are simple. APIs via RPC work are very similar to local function calls. RPC via a file interface is complicated. You have to put a protocol on top of stream/file oriented sockets to get a message interface.

The point that the author seems to be making is that WASI offers a standard API. It's one that crosses a memory protection boundary, like an inter-process function call. This is a reasonable way to do things. For historical reasons, neither Unix nor Windows supports that approach well.
There is a really weird connotation with this: if when malignancy is found and then actions are taken and when it's found earlier actions are taken earlier but they still don't survive means that when you treat a cancer early is the same as treating it late. But that is contrary to all studies ever done. So either there is some mistake or stage I with stage 3 cancer have the same survival. Look like someone fucked up some math imo.
You watch from what's available.
I almost don't want to say it because if there's a place to look for RCEs on my site, that's the place. It's Apache::MP3 [1], a circa 2001 mod-perl (!!!) application. The one on my site is heavily modified—I added transcoding and later the read-only view that appears on my site now. At some point I stuck it into a container so that it at least has a slightly smaller blast radius. For a long time that was my main way of listening to my music. I was able to load .m3us into iTunes where all the songs were remote (over http using http auth with the 'http://username@password:example.com/blahblah-192.mp3' style url). That worked for years and years until iTunes suddenly stopped supporting that.

> I'm a little concerned that your Aphex Twin selection doesn't include Drukqs or SAW85-92

:-). My Aphex Twin phase was pretty short (I bought the 2 albums on 2003-01-03 and 2003-07-05, both from Fry's, according to my metadata :-)), it ended up with me deciding it was a little experimental for me so I never pushed too much further into the discography. It was kinda hard back then—it was committing to buy a CD usually sight unseen or listen to 30 second preview on iTunes (which is hit or miss depending on which 30 seconds of the song you hear). I'll check them out now with our modern streaming services :-).

> your Paul Oakenfold selection doesn't include Bunkka....

That's one of the few albums where I bought just a couple tracks on iTunes. I didn't like the idea of a non-complete album in the collection so I stuck those all into 'Various Artists/iTunes Store' [2] (there's also a similar "album" from another somewhat sketchy store that doesn't exist anymore [3]).

It doesn't take much. I just run them under the tap and flick most of the water off. It helps form a seal and then dries off. They always come out dry.

I can see how putting them in right after a shower can be worse since you might have water collecting in your ears.

That's indeed a very good question! There are 2 sets of reasons:

1. Technical

The contract is given - I'm receiving usernames as CharSequence(String). I could change that, but that would likely require changes in the SQL parser - not simple at all. Alternatively, I could pass the whole CharSequence to Rust - but passing objects over the JNI boundary comes with perf. penalty (when compared to passing primitive) and we avoid that whenever possible. Or I could encode CharSequence content to a temporary offheap buffer and pass just the pointer to Rust. But this brings back some of the questions from the article - like who owns the buffer?

2. Other reasons

I realized this was a possibility only when I was nearly done with the design (this whole endeavor took less than one day) and I felt the urge to finish it. Also: This article wouldn't have been created!
That would be the absolute game-changer. Something with the "intelligence" of GPT-4, but it knows the contents of all your stuff - your documents, project tracker, emails, calendar, etc.

Unfortunately even if we do get this, I expect there will be significant ecosystem lock-in. Like, I imagine Microsoft is aiming for something like this, but you'd need to use all their stuff.
“Touch grass” as cliche as it has become is legitimately good advice. I’ve been heavily into gaming and internet culture since middle school and I could say for myself it’s one of my personal regrets in life.
AI VC Negotiation
The problem arises by the fact that `Class` needs to refer to other classes:

pub struct Class<'a> {
pub superclass: Option<ClassRef<'a>>,
}
pub type ClassRef<'a> = &'a Class<'a>;

Given that classes are managed by the arena, I know the reference will not be dangling thanks to the 'a lifetime.

Initially I had implemented this with raw pointers, without lifetimes, but then I switched to the reference because it felt more "idiomatic" and I had to put the lifetimes just about everywhere to make the compiler happy.

If there are better ways to do this, I would be really happy to learn, though!
Tradeoff with retaining ability to hear commands/maintain situational awareness on the battlefield, perhaps?
I'm reminded of the concept of a "tact filter", which is basically "do you alter what you say to avoid causing offense, or do you alter what you hear to avoid taking offense?"

https://www.mit.edu/~jcb/tact.html

The part the original essay leaves out is that optimal behavior depends on the scale and persistence of the relationship. In personal, 1:1, long-term relationships, you should apply outgoing tact filters because if you cause offense you've torched the relationship permanently and will suffer long-term consequences from it. But in public discourse, many-to-many, transactional relationships, it's better to apply incoming tact filters because there are so many people you interact with that invariably there will be someone who forgot to set their outgoing tact filter. (And in public discourse where you have longstanding relationships with your customers with serious negative consequences for pissing them off, you want to be very, very careful what you say. The entire field of PR is devoted to this.)

So anyone who spends a significant amount of time with the general public basically needs to develop a translation layer. "i hope you hang yourself" on an Internet forum becomes "somebody had a bad day and is letting off steam by trolling." "Your business is probably in violation of federal labor laws because you haven't displayed these $400 posters we're trying to sell you" becomes "Better download some PDFs off the Department of Labor for free" [1]. "We're calling from XYZ Collection Agency about your debt" or "This is the Deputy Sheriffs office. You have a warrant out for your arrest for failing to appear for jury duty" or "This is the IRS calling requesting you pay back taxes in the amount of $X over the phone" = ignore them and hang up because it's a scam. "Continued involvement in Russia's internal affairs will lead to nuclear consequences" = Putin is feeling insecure with his base and needs to rattle some sabers to maintain support. "You are in violation of several state and federal laws facing up to 20 years in prison" = they want something from me, lawyer up and make sure we're not in violation and then let's negotiate.

I'm talking about replacing the battery as a whole, currently there are many form factors and you can't be sure you'll be able to get a new battery when the performance of the original one starts to degrade. If manufacturers would be forced to make it replaceable for X years at reasonable cost, either by providing replacements or by adopting an industry standard, that would fulfill the "right to repair" IMO.

You then want to extend that to the other main parts like the motor or the controllers, so you're not left with a piece of junk when one component fails. Just like for normal bikes.
Yes, both LPython and LFortran are our two thin frontends to ASR (Abstract Semantic Representation). Not just the website is reused, but the internals are reused, so LPython runs your code at exactly the same speed as LFortran would, since ASR and all optimizations and backends are shared.
