I like their take of the ATP podcast - they love Apple stuff but are not afraid to criticize when necessary (the quality of MacOS releases) - Gruber at this point might as well join Apple as an evangelist.

> Some will say: ‘YouTube is a private company, so it can decide for itself who to host and who can make money on its platform.’ Okay, but some of us – me included – are not free marketeers. We believe society has a right to curb the behaviour of big business, especially where it impacts on consumers, users and citizens.

Then curb it. Pass legislation, use alternative platforms, refuse to agree with unfair Terms of Service, lobby against it and stop feigning helplessness. Google mediates with advertisers, if you upload content that offends those advertisers then you won't make money. It could not possibly be easier to understand.

How would society even 'remediate' Russell Brand being demonetized? Do we invent a new, unsustainable advertising company to support crackpot conspiracy theorists?
Wouldn't an escape character still be in-band signaling? It should either be something other than a string, like a NULL value, a separate field that says there's no valid plate (and to ignore the string), or have a different type altogether for tickets without valid plates.
I know this seems the antithesis, but I've always wondered if you could fold and mangle cURL to actually act as a web server?
Unix time is the center of the universe for Unix systems, but it is not perfect. Previous discussion:

This is a fine line. There are people who care. But at the same time this crosses boundaries of freedom of speech.

The content is completely generated and and there is effort to censor this content.

Think about it. Censoring generated content is equivalent to censoring art. It's morally equivalent to censoring art because you don't like the art.

There's a problem from many perspectives and no one perspective is completely right. There's the female perspective where their beauty, rank and character is judged on their perceived promiscuity levels. Pictures obviously effect the womens ranking and the spouses care too so this is a factor. But it does not negate the existence of the freedom of speech perspective too.

The problem here is that it's too fuzzy you can't strictly define what is creative art and what is a reputation bashing porno. What if the art was generated but just happens to look like the daughter off of pure coincidence? Similar to how a real person can look like another person randomly.

What if someone that looks extremely similar to you starts modelling for porn. Do you ban and censor that person? Do you ban art that coincidentally looks like you? What if there's nude art where half the population finds it offensive and the other half does not?

Once you cross this line because the boundaries are so fuzzy it's easy to overstep.

China a very hated country by the US doesn't consider freedom of speech. They jump right in with what they believe to be the most reasonable decision. They would of course severely punish anyone who makes AI generated porn of real people. But we all know the consequence of this is china crosses too many fuzzy lines.

If you have a wife and daughter do you prefer the china way or the more "freedom of speech" way?
Most ISP won't even let you do it anyway. I know the players in Canada don't and I think Australia too.
So even if you had the inclination to do it, not going to happen in our current world.
It's not ambiguous if the macrons are included, but yes, in everyday texts, the macrons are often dropped.
Look at the Quarkus framework. It's designed with Graalvm native in mind, so it knows how to handle Jackson, AWS, etc. and compile them to a native binary. I'm using it in production with a native-compiled Lambda that calls other AWS services. It works GREAT!
For example, here is a cat/dog classifier trained using prompts.

Cat prompt:

Cats are generally more independent and aloof. Cats are also more territorial and may be more aggressive when defending their territory.
Cats are self-grooming animals, using their tongues to keep their coats clean and healthy. Cats use body language and vocalizations,
such as meowing and purring, to communicate. An example cat is whiskers, who is a cat who lives in a house with a human.
Another example cat is furball, who likes to eat food and sleep. A famous cat is garfield, who is a cat who likes to eat lasagna.

Dog prompt:

Dogs are social animals that live in groups, called packs, in the wild. They are also highly intelligent and trainable.
Dogs are also known for their loyalty and affection towards their owners. Dogs are also known for their ability to learn and
perform a variety of tasks, such as herding, hunting, and guarding. An example dog is snoopy, who is the best friend of
charlie brown. Another example dog is clifford, who is a big red dog.
1) If you can't accept and process the the load of messages with your messaging the discussion of whether 100ms is or is not acceptable delay is very much pointless.

Messaging middleware is by design not suited well for architecting real time systems. If you require real time guarantees you would benefit from some other communication channel.

2)

3) S3 is orders of magnitude cheaper compared to messaging platforms like RabbitMQ or Kafka. If you take load off of your RabitMQ or Kafka and put it on S3 you should see a significant reduction in cost.

S3 might be more expensive than other persistence solutions, true. Just choose whatever else you have. I used S3 as an example because it is extremely easy to implement and get going.

Again, all engineering is about tradeoffs. You compare two solutions, they will always have some cons. You just decide which cons you can live with. If your platform can't process messages at all and you don't know how to scale it up to do so that's pretty large problem in my book.
Even if your real nudes leak, now you can always say they are ai-generated :)
Oh, sorry, my intent wasn't to claim he's not really a crackpot, just the the grandparent was making the claim that the reason why Lessig is a crackpot is because Lessig can not see the real issue here, which is campaign finance reform.

Anyone who has been slightly paying attention to American politics in the last decade or so would know that Lessig, of all people, is deeply aware of this issue. Lessig has been fighting and trying to make the issue of money in politics a thing for quite a long while.

If one has been actually following Lessig's career they'd know that Lessig has taken to the issue of money in politics because of his first great crusade, that of fixing Copyright for all net-denizens, and honestly the world.

I personally believe Lessig to be a smart, driven, and naive, man who has been fighting for the right things, even if no one will actually listen to him and take action on his suggestions.
I have seen many comments that are the opposite of wisdom.
Yep they should have continued their early renewables rollout that got stalled by the right so that they had better alternatives.

But no use crying over spilled milk, they've brought their coal phase out forward a decade, so it s not all bad.
I like org-mode, but one of my gripes is that code block syntax is too clunky.
> AWS has some complicated features that they don't really explain well.

Yeah... Complicated...

What do you do for disk IOPS? Seems like they make you sip through a straw unless you pay them big bucks.
Glad to hear that!

Right, currently Symphony only supports GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo since they're the only ones with native API support.

Is there a good shortish course / book / site out there that would take a developer from "I get the ideas and happily use burp" to "so that's how pentesting works"?

It seems a valuable way to spend the rapidly smaller training budgets
I just throw them on the junkheap of non-free licenses and ignore any software that uses it. CNPL, FAFOL, etc are junk licenses as far as I am concerned. Not worth the trouble. There's plenty MIT/BSD/(A)GPL/etc software to use instead.

embeddings are done using ChromaDB

support for more complex queries could be useful, but probably not using a query language since that would make it more difficult to use free-form text input.

You can already use it using an API: https://kantord.github.io/SeaGOAT/0.27.x/server/#understandi... so probably the best way to add support for more complex queries would be to have additional query parameters, and also to expose those flags/options/features through the CLI
Sure, I'm just talking about getting an English equivalent pronunciation. Obviously, you can't sound identical to one language in another language, especially when one language distinguishes sounds that the other doesn't.
Right. What I'm asking is how that Mac could be useful if at max you can provision it into 2 other machines. It seems like you'd be wasting a lot of money for any traditional server compute task on Mac.
I was raised to consider ordering takeout in truly awful weather as pretty rude.
I'll tell you my vision which is kinda long term - like 20-30 year from now on. I think the future is that everyone will have their own personalized AI assistant on their phone. Internet as it is will be mostly useless because only robots will be able to wade through the generated shit ocean and the next generation will see it as the current see the TV - unimportant old boring low-entropy data which is not entertaining anymore.

There will be a paradigm shift where our-customers-are-ai apps appear and most stuff will need to have an API which makes AI able to connect and use those services effortlessly and without error because who don't want to tell his assistant to "send 5$ to Jill for the pizza"? There will be money in base AI models you can choose(subscribe to) and what it can and cannot do for you. It will still be riddled with ads and now it's your personal assistant who can push any agenda to you.

Operation systems will become a layer under the assistant ai.

You will still talk on/to your phone.

I guess free software will be more important than ever.

Free ai assistants will be available and computing power will be there to run it on your phone but all the shit we've seen with open Vs closed source, Linux Vs Windows, walled gardens whatnot will go another round this time with free open public training data assistants Vs closed-but-oh-so-less-clumsy ones.

Security problem will be plenty like how to hide your AI assistant custom fingerprint? Authentication and authorization system for AI? How much someone else personal assistant worth? How to steal or defend it?

Marco Armant/Walt Mossberg writes on MacOS and it's decline in quality.

"Perhaps not surprisingly, the storm of criticism and negative press created by Mossberg’s piece was so great that Apple executives Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi made an appearance on John Gruber’s The Talk Show podcast to address some concerns and defend the quality of iOS and OS X."

I'm very happy with OLauncher :) Minimalistic, quasi text-based. Swipe up to show all apps and show keyboard by default for a fast search, swipe left to open firefox and swipe right for signal.
This is the same as it's implemented in ClickHouse. In fact, it has two formats: `Protobuf` (with length-delimited messages) and `ProtobufSingle` (no delimiters, but only a single message can be read/written). And it is fairly common:

Not equivalent, but arguably more useful for manual authoring: Emmet [0] was all the range a while back, and I still use it to write HTML. It comes naturally if you're used to writing CSS-like selectors, and mostly gets out of the way.

DSL-wise, I've rather enjoyed Clojure's Hiccup [1].

Counterpoint: keeping comments in the code results in a simpler format (just plain text, which is battle-tested and requires no special tools or lock-in) and it keeps the comments next to their context.

I find Google Docs comments hard to find and navigate, and usually simply forget to read them. A usability nightmare for me.
This is why I don't feel bad ordering smaller items from Amazon when I could drive across town and get it myself.

But Uber eats and DoorDash are a reality, and I would pay someone to pick something up for me from Home Depot within the next hour. Services like Zipline have the potential to help out there.
btw I am also working on a web version of it that will allow you to search in multiple repositories at the same time and you will be able to self host it at work, or run it locally in your machine. https://github.com/kantord/SeaGOAT-web

so that could provide a nicer interactive experience for more complex queries
An old favorite of mine. Apparently hasn't actually popped up here as often as I thought and asserted in an earlier comment. Enjoy!
Depends on what you mean by “expressed”. E.g. you can represent a busy beaver that expresses the length of its output.

We don’t know if there is only a finite number of discrete states in the observable universe. The Planck length is not a discretization.
VS Code, it’s even baked in part into GitHub (try hitting . when you’re viewing a repo on the web).

In fact the sender chose the standard writeDelimited and the receiver chose to read without the delimiter.

Both ways are in the standard, but both ends have to agree. One could argue that is a flaw in protobuf itself, but the problem here was not a non-standard implementation.

The problem here was lack of experience and hasty finger pointing.

I apparently mis-remembered this showing up on HN. It's only ever been posted once. So I re-posted just now.
This looks good! And the review is by Adam Phillips which is a plus.

Explaining shit - that goes right to the core of our beings as
engineers, scientists and hackers. Especially as technology turns ever
more into magic, science journalism turns into facile entertainment
and attention-spans tend toward zero. The space vehicle for the future
is "the story", bypassing analysis, judgement, complexity.

Resonates with me, having found that stories, poetry, drama and
theatre are the only ways of communicating complex subjects like
cyber-security to ordinary people who have rather little time and care
to spare.

How is it memory safe if they are using off heap memory with malloc/free? I think it would only qualify as memory safe if they were using the GC which they purposefully avoid.

I will agree on the other points, however, but I wonder how much of a gain that is against the pain of working against the language. Hard to say.
That's a good point in general, but it is not true of the largest Dutch supermarket chains.

The four largest chains (Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Aldi, Lidl) are all independent of each other. A bunch of smaller chains have bundled their buying power into Superunie, which in turn is part of EMD. Superunie would end up somewhere in the middle of the top 5 in the Dutch market. EMD has about 10% of the European market. There's really no monopsony here.
Back to human curated web directories we go.
This complaint is one of the clearest, most concise pieces of legal drafting I've ever seen. It's only 7 pages! The small inline graphics in the pleading are innovative and effective. Great lawyering, kudos to the AG's office. This is likely a big reason behind the quick settlement.
My name is a totally bog standard American name and Starbucks or whoever cannot get it right if I just say it. I have internalized this now so I always say my name followed by spelling it (fortunately, it's very short). I think it's an important bit of context that even if your name is something like "Karen" or whatever, they will mishear it and misspell it as "Cathrine". It's not a unique microaggression imposed on people with names that are uncommon in the US.

I think the division is along a different axis than this one (or probably it's along multiple axes).

I've always been more of a fastidious crafter than a "just get it built" person, but I also struggle with a blank page. I thrive on editing more than writing. Since forever, I like to get out something that works or mostly works, and then start carving on it until I like it.

LLMs have been helping me get some ink on the page, but very little of what they suggest ends up in the final product.

This is a really cool idea. By dividing the space into regions, one avoids computing with neurons that do not play any role beside the given region.

This could be a game-changer in architectures like MLP-mixer and perhaps even transformers.
Seamless integration with parts that don't need to be GC-free comes to mind: they are not building an application, they are building a building block. And that building block can be used both in applications that do require the latency guarantees of GC-free as well as in applications that don't. Another class of applications would be ones that alternate between phases of unpredictable latency (like bootup or reconfiguration) and low-latency operation.
The last paragraph in the article says:

"Earlier this month, junior minister Stephen Parkinson appeared to concede ground, saying in parliament's upper chamber that Ofcom would only require them to scan content where "technically feasible"."

By this I understand that all communication needs to be scanned except End To End Encryption where is not "technically feasible"
my theory is that the unpaid algo is optimized to make money, and that usually means shoveling sponsored shit at you with low effort. paid customers actually get the functional algorithm.

Do I need to speak German to get the most out of it? Or do they have English descriptions?
I typically write comments for "why" rather than "how". Or if I have to make what appears to be a weird hack or decision I put that too.

Another thing I really like to do is put github issues as comments if I am having to do some weird workaround in some API/library that I found from a github issue - i'll put the github issue URL so that way it is easy to see the latest update from that library later on to see if the workaround is no longer needed.

I'm Gen X and I don't agree with this at all.

There's this idea that every generation bitches about the generation that comes after it, but I submit to you that every generation apparently also has people in it that see themselves as a special victim, as if the generations that came before it didn't also have their own challenges.
As a rule of thumb, the apparent politeness of the language is inversely proportional to the potential violence of the culture it comes from.
Incorrect. Ukraine revamped their entire military and their relations with the West after Russia stole Crimea. Russian's 2 week war wouldn't be entering it's second year if Ukraine's government and military leadership were adamant they weren't going to be invaded.
The articles I read about it suggested she had tried that. Agencies indicated that the registrar would provide a name in the event that the chosen one was rejected, but wouldn't tell her what that might be.
I think the Japanese have a good system internally. They convert foreign sounds into sounds that work in their language. Of course, this bites them in the ass when they try to actually speak a foreign language, but as long as you're speaking Japanese with some foreign words mixed in, it's fine and the system works.

Privacy Badger dev here.

The most interesting thing from the post may be that fixing tracking redirects is partially broken in Google’s Manifest V3: https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/302

Google also happens to be a major link mangler and tracker.

So, link cleaner (and generally privacy) MV3 extensions in Chrome can only offer a half-broken experience to their users. A Chrome dev recently expressed support for fixing this in the issue linked above, but MV3 is already required for all new extensions in Chrome Web Store.
Yeah, for me it has been docker and kubernetes. I have found it to be something of a killer app for spinning up on anything with a bunch of annoying little details, that I'm not already super familiar with.

Make, docker, kubernetes, all fit this pattern. Heck, maybe I won't be so down on autotools if I run into it again now that I can attack it with LLM support.

Or html / css; I haven't written any of that in the LLM era, but maybe I'd enjoy it more now.
There’s a non-default `writeDelimitedTo()` that emits a length-prefixed message.

The result is not protobuf and doesn’t claim to be.

Looking at my employer’s protobuf runtime for our major programming language, we don’t even support it.
I despair at the state of CS these days.
also I plan to add features that incorporate a "dumb" analysis of the codebase in order to avoid spamming the results with mostly irrelevant results such as import statements or decorators. Those features would be language dependent, so support would need to be added for each language

Yes, this is expensive, but I have seen this on non-Mac with the motivation of "protecting the company IP".
