I find it fascinating how similar the answers from different models with similar parameter counts are. Seems like an indication that they’re all modelling similarly datasets to a similar degree of fidelity.
At least in Corporates, the point is not the content usually, or at least not 95% of the content. Usually there are 1-2 key slides per PPT that the audience actually cares about, something like the "Roadmap" slide, where you commit to a timeline on the project (even though nobody understands what the project actually is), or the "Costs" slide, where you commit to a budget (even though it's way too early to say).

This is the point, supported by the signaling of the PPT itself.

The remaining 95% are slides that the audience doesn't care about and/or doesn't understand anyway.

You are totally right... Nix is cool for advanced CPUs (i.e. x86, armv7, aarch64, etc) and much less so for microcontrollers.

But if your platform can run NixOS ... then ... let's see...

With nix I have a file that exactly describes the git sources (pinnable on precise changesets if required) for all my components (including custom kernel patches, device drivers, etc).

I use a nix config to create a fully GPLV3 compliant rootfs and another set of nix config files in a separate repo to create our device specific intellectual property, in a separate encrypted image different from the rootfs.

The nix config files easily describes everything i need to fully support Secure boot, as well as code to unseal a TPM luks password used to decrypt the image that contains our intellectual property for that device (basically the application).

All this is fully reproducible, so I can provide our clients with the nix config files for our rootfs, tell them to use nix and they can reproduce our exact rootfs image to run in the device , for GPLv3 compliance. Of course , then the device is "broken" , because our IP will not be decryptBle anymore. But the GpLv3 does not mandate full functionality when running foreign images...

Now I am absolutely certain all this can be also done with Yocto... but with less simplicity ... less joy ... :)

I used pSOS in the past, got burned when Integrated Systems was sold... then stayed away from proprietary OSes as much as I could. Used Debian with XEN later on... then Yocto in many products, then back to a Debian-like OS and now , finally, using Nix. It just works.
I’ve had a similar experience of weird intermittent jankyness with what seem like missed keystrokes but are just connection issues.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni...

"Before an image is stored in iCloud Photos, an on-device matching process is performed for that image against the database of known CSAM hashes".

Thus the scanning is done by your device against the unencrypted image before uploading it to iCloud. The fact they abandoned the plan is irrelevant, by considering it in the first place (and to a very high level of engineering R&D as evidenced by the document), they set a precedent and forefeited any trust. It's CSAM today, it will be mentions Winnie the Pooh mocking Xi Jinping tomorrow, and of abortion in Texas the day after.

Now, the only way I'd trust an Apple-mediated encrypted messaging service is if the clientapp is third-party and thus can't be backdoored retroactively if Apple feels it expedient to do so.

People have already questioned the validity of this number. Do a search and you'll find people looking into this and conclude that the number is very unreliable. Whether you agree or not is up to you.

Also I want to point out that almost any time people quote number about PHP's popularity, this is the only number, which is strange -- for metrics like iOS market share you can always find multiple numbers from multiple sources which don't fully agree with each other but are within a certain range. Not for this PHP number. In other words, w3tech's number is not cross validated by any other source. I wouldn't use it to "prove" anything.

This move toward a more rigid and static typing pushed me to move to Java (which also pays more). After 15 years of PHP and over 5 in Java, I wouldn't go back now.

Gasoline has gravimetric density ~45MJ/kg and volumetric density ~35MJ/L. Costs about $3.80 / gallon avg or roughly $1/L.

You can store it in a cool dry place inside a metal/plastic container for decades.

Cheap, light weight, space efficient, easy to transport and convert into mechanical/electrical/heat energy.

On the other hand, lithium ion battery has gravimetric density of 0.45MJ/kg - 0.7MJ/kg and volumetric density if 0.8MJ - 0.8 - 3.6 MJ/L.

So gasoline and its hydrocarbon cousins (kerosene, diesel, vegetable fat) are 50-100X gravimetric dense and 10-100X volumetric dense compared to Li-ion batteries.

This has huuuge implications on transport - especially air travel.

Now let’s look at solar. Sun gives us about 1350 watts/m2. With clouds and conversion losses solar panels capture about 300 watts/m2.

A standard US parking lot is 9ft by 18ft. That’s 15m2.

At 4.5 hours of sunlight on average summer day, if the parking lot was covered with solar panel, it would generate 4.5MW of energy.

Suppose hypothetically we could have an an artificial tree like technology that could convert solar to gasoline like hydrocarbon, like trees capture solar + CO2 + H20 into glucose + O2.

That artificial tree solar panel would generate equivalent of 20 gallons of gasoline per month.

Avg car consumes about 40 gallons a month. So 2 parking lots would generate enough energy for 1 car.

An area the size of New Zealand / Italy / UK (roughly 300km2) if covered with solar can meet energy needs of the entire planet.

IMO the holy grail of solar will be when we crack solar -> dense hydrocarbon store and make it cheap.

It blows my mind that Trees/plants are both materials and fuel. The best form of carbon capture I know of. Wood is one of the most renewable construction materials. Trees are the ultimate natural technology that we ought to amplify.

Suppose if we could make an artificial tree that captured CO2 + solar and turned it into hydrocarbon fuel + high strength/light weight carbon-fibre-like wood, that would be the epic holy grail. Abundant high density green fuels + strong light weight building materials.

Fundamentally it is possible.

In the universe of all possible DNA, I think there exists a configuration of DNA that will yield a high efficiency carbon capture tree.

There’s also the self-assembly nature of trees. A seed grows millions of times its size into a huge tree.

Then there’s the reproducing nature of trees. A tree will produce seeds that can make more trees, which will make more seeds, which makes even more trees. One seed can turn into a forest.

Ofcourse we have to keep biodiversity in mind in an artificial forest.

-

I may get downvoted for dreaming. However from laws of physics and biochemistry artificial trees should be possible.

Solar panels are non-viral non-self-assembling trees that convert to electricity.
To this day it seems most people are misinformed about the WHO's statements regarding lockdowns.

The WHO's position was that the total closure of businesses and public areas was a tool that could be effective early on in a wave of infections, but governments should recognize that it came with a terrible cost in terms of increasing poverty and other social problems.

They also repeatedly stated that the half-assed "lockdowns" implemented by most jurisdictions (hey guys let's close the pool but we'll reopen it on Wednesdays and Fridays, also restaurants are delivery only for nine months) were next to useless.

Basically, they said you had to go all-in, do it early on, and make it brief or it wasn't worth it.

Not once have I ever seen the nuance of their position accurately reflected in the media or in statements by politicians and governments. It was all 100% left vs right tribe wars / oh look libs are stealing our freedoms / here's another dunk on Trump / Americans of all stripes hating and blaming each other.

I am not as opposed to battery power as many people on this thread, but the batteries need to be easily replaced and a standard size. Any device with a non-replaceable internal battery has an expiration date, and if you're bad about remembering to charge it, that date might come soon. A great example is my portable guitar amp, which wouldn't hold a charge. A new battery was $20 and took minutes to replace with no special tools.

Plus, if a device runs on AA or 18650 batteries, I can keep some spare charged ones in a drawer or bag, effectively providing unlimited usage time.

My wired keyboard will last for decades barring physical damage.
Impossible asks? Asking you why you believe something, a conversation stopper and an impossible ask?

Refusing to explain, or cite, or accusing others of bad faith, those are conversation stoppers.

It is not that anything not proven beyond all doubt has to fall back to assuming a null. There is such a thing as probabilistic arguments, statistics, and bayesian-ish reasoning

Sometimes, people have reasons for making negative statements. It helps to show arguments, instead of immediately launching into bad faith accusations.

Talk about wasting a lot of energy!

It's obviously relevant to that question.

I said that in my experience learning Rust at companies is easier than learning it in isolation.

They said that they had trouble.

I asked for clarification if they had trouble while learning in a work environment.

Nondeterminism strikes again!

But yes, I would expect GPT-4 to get this right most of the time.
The second version of the Sally prompt reported on the benchmark has GPT4 giving the correct answer:

> Sally has 3 brothers. Each of these brothers has 2 sisters. This means that there are 2 girls in the family, including Sally. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.

The prompt:

> Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have? Let's think step by step.

The only difference with the first version being the addition of the last sentence.

Drugs like mushrooms and marijuana can lead to dependency but they don't have the debilitating life-destroying effects that the harder stuff does.

The hard stuff causes the societal problems you saw. Marijuana and mushrooms, can't speak for LSD yet, create personal problems but not societal ones. Despite that, they are still widely prosecuted harshly. Legalizing marijuana and shrooms is a step to separate those drugs which are a personal issues, and those which create societal issues.

> legal aspects of data privacy were (and still are) a bit of a Wild West, so I’m not sure what anyone expected. […] we all continued to buy smart phones.

Widespread breach of privacy is not a valid excuse for companies to continue violating privacy and even collecting potentially illegal surveillance, right? Phone taps and home searches without a warrant have been illegal for decades, and the fourth amendment to the constitution prohibits government search without probable cause in general. So what I expect is that the existing and established laws and goals carry forward in obvious and reasonable and unsurprising ways from the consumer’s point of view, without vested interests trying to pretend like digital devices’ ability to communicate are somehow radically different from any other type of communication. The only thing that’s changed is that recording and sharing and searching got much, much faster and easier. People who stand to benefit from that are arguing that because it got easier, it should be allowed, but from the privacy perspective it’s the opposite: because it got easier it means we need to actually enforce privacy, and put a stop to the contorted arguments that try to justify data collection without explicit consent.
Also, MPT 7B gets it right over half the time. I've been testing every new LLM with that question.

>Surely this isn't legal

It's worse than that. The way the law works is that you'll only have standing to sue if you're harmed in some way. But since your data is slurped into a big black box, and then passed around and used by 3rd parties, the connection back to the original ingress point is tenuous at best. Some of those 3rd parties, arguably the most harmful, will themselves be law enforcement, and in the US they have qualified immunity, section 720, and a vast array of a) excuses to snoop and b) immunity from consequence. So, it's worse than illegal because you'll never have standing to sue them and find out.

Of course, the solution is to not buy their products or, if you do, substantially modify them to remove all owner-hostile features after-market. Indeed, I predict a healthy secondary car (and phone!) market where trusted 3rd parties "sanitize" the product to protect the owner.

Ask HN: How would you develop this service?
Hi,
I am an IT guy but not a developer (even though I had my fair share of scripting and I can produce "some code" if necessary).

Few months ago I had a problem of booking a service that could have weeks/months of wait, and ended up crafting a 10-15 lines script in Powershell that monitored the underlying API used by that service for the specific thing I needed every few min and notify me via ntfy.sh on my phone.

When I shared this with colleagues they joked with me suggesting to sell this as a service. I briefly thought about it but discarded the option as I don't believe this would be really remunerative considering this is specific for the country I am living which is quite small (also it will be highly dependent of that specific web application and its API).
Still, I believe it would be a nice thing to try to build a simple app (probably web rather than mobile) and share it with the local users.
A dev would probably take a weekend to do the bulk of it, but I am not a dev :) and unfortunately family and work take enough time.

The way I see it would be something like:

- users will be able to simply register/login (or at least I need a way to map their choice to their notification "address" and avoid they spam others / allow them to modify/cancel a monitor - could be using some social login or magic links or classic user with mail.. )

- they will be able to select what they need to monitor (they type some word / site fetches options based on a list that is built by querying that remote site API and they select), specify few options (checkboxes or similar)

- a background process will run and check the availability based on the list of the users requests, see if anything has changed and notified the appropriate users when a slot is freed up (I used ntfy.sh for myself but it's probably not ideal for users to expect them to install the app so maybe I will have to use email or similar methods)

As Powershell is one of the thing that I know quite, I had thought about using Azure Functions (which I never used) as it can run Powershell, but I am open to other options as long as it doesn't mean becoming a full stack dev..

I am often lurking on HN and reading about automation tools, no code products, languages and such.
Many nocode tools that I have seen discussed in HN are for internal apps/dashboards (budibase etc.) and bubble.io and similar might be expensive for running a free application (I would need to review what they offer and their tiers). Would products like n8n.io help or they would be useful only for the backend/integration part but not for building a user facing interface?
What would you suggest to use to develop such app?

thanks
