I mean it's a pretty simple explanation: Because his strategy does not have a high beta(it isn't taking on SP500-like risk).

SP500 may go down and a merger still goes through, or SP500 goes up and a merger falls through. Sure, general stock market conditions can influence merger completions(for example Musk wanted to pull out of Twitter buyout partially because he realized he overpaid) but in general mergers are not super correlated with SP500 performance. So it doesn't really make sense to compare the 2.

Do you write docker-compose scripts daily? Seriously? Why? My impression was that you write that once and edit very infrequently (like maybe once a month or less). So, in terms of time investment it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Also, I see no value in imperative vs declarative approaches here. It's actually hard to understand what is going to happen when you use declarative style because you need to rely on and have a very deep knowledge of the imperative aspect of the system interpreting your declarations to be confident of the end result.

> Python people generally have either installed by default in their OS,

Being one of "Python people" I have Python 3.7 thru 3.12 built from respective heads of cPython project installed on my work laptop. I would hate to have to add more to support a tool with dubious (or as is my case extraneous) functionality.

Also, being one of those "Python people" who deals with infra, I had to import docker-compose code into my code and deal with it as dependency, both with its CLI and its modules. And... it's not good code. Well, like the wast majority of Python is a piece of garbage. Particular feature of docker-compose that stands out is that it was written by "Go people" with poor command of Python, so it's "Go written in Python" kind of program.

Also, people who write docker-compose don't care about how it interacts with other packages, and this shows in how they define their dependencies (very selective versions of ubiquitous libraries, eg. requests) that will almost certainly not play well with other libraries you'd use in this context (eg. boto3). I had plenty of headache trying to use this tool and had so far sworn never to use it in my own infra projects because of its dependency issues. If I ever use it (as in to deal with someone else's problems) I install it in its own environment. Which is yet another problem with its use because then you'd have to switch environments just to call it, and then you forget to switch back and things start behaving weirdly.
I think they would prefer to avoid even the perception that Godot the open source project was a vehicle for funnelling business to "Godot Pro".

Ollama for Linux – Run LLMs on Linux with GPU Acceleration
Hi HN,

Over the last few months I've been working with some folks on a tool named Ollama (https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama) to run open-source LLMs like Llama 2, Code Llama and Falcon locally, starting with macOS.

The biggest ask since then has been "how can I run Ollama on Linux?" with GPU support out of the box. Setting up and configuring CUDA and then compiling and running llama.cpp (which is a fantastic library and runs under the hood) can be quite painful on different combinations of linux distributions and Nvidia GPUs. The goal for Ollama's linux version was to automate this process to make it easy to get up and running.

The is the first Linux release! There's still lots to do, but I wanted to share it here for to see what everyone thinks. Thanks for anyone who has given it a try and sent feedback!

This.

And they said the lightning connector would be the iPhone connector for the next ten years when it launched in 2012.

IMO USB-C is just now in the last year or so truly ubiquitous and has the ecosystem to back it.

That said, it probably would’ve been accelerated if Apple made the move on the iPhone shortly after the Mac. Of course, it would’ve pissed people like my best friend off, who complained for like two years about the last iPhone connector change.
I'm tired and cranky today so this will lack subtlety, but:

You don't have to use Rust but you **can't** use C.

There's no reason to be finding these bugs in 2023; period, we can do better and we know how to do better, there's just no reason apart from legacy code (and even then) that you should be using memory unsafe languages in production.

I might have heard it a few times, but the only instance I clearly remember is from a Japanese podcast [0] with a former Sega engineer, who then went to Microsoft and stayed in the gaming sphere, sith Stadia being one of the latest project he worked on.

He mentions an FAQ used to discuss between devs and an newcommer in the console market (I assume xbox) going like:

Q: Won't you quit the market as soon as you see how hard it is ?

A: We'll do this to the bitter end. As long as I'm on this team this project will keep going.

Show HN: Magentic – Use LLMs as simple Python functions
This is a Python package that allows you to write function signatures to define LLM queries. This makes it easy to mix regular code with calls to LLMs, which enables you to use the LLM for its creativity and reasoning while also enforcing structure/logic as necessary. LLM output is parsed for you according to the return type annotation of the function, including complex return types such as streaming an array of structured objects.

I built this to show that we can think about using LLMs more fluidly than just chains and chats, i.e. more interchangeably with regular code, and to make it easy to do that.

Please let me know what you think! Contributions welcome.

There are more complex aspects of net neutrality beyond "companies can't make consumers pay a Facebook surcharge".

One that I remember in detail is interconnect fees. Some companies like Netflix operate at such a scale that they're constrained by physical reality as much as network policies. So to provide good service, it's often necessary to deploy additional physical connections between the ISP and the Netflix CDN.

Separately, such connections are widespread foundations of the Internet itself. In that context they're typically settlement-free, with providers on both sides working cooperatively to get the bits where users want them. For Netflix, providers typically require a fee to interconnect, because they wouldn't otherwise want to accept the maintenance costs of this link which serves no purpose other than providing Netflix.

So Netflix pays a fee that other organizations with an interconnect don't have to pay. Is that a net neutrality violation? Netflix argues yes - they say it's just a backdoor to discriminate against Netflix traffic. But you can see why ISPs would be concerned about a rule that they can't charge random CDNs for plugging in stuff to their servers.

Yes, choosing who gets to be on that list is a problem that software other than iOS has as well. Are those lists typically pay to play? Does e.g. Microsoft pay for having Bing listed as an option in Chrome?

I remember when Android switched (in the EU) from having Google be the default search to having the users pick from a list during device setup. They initially proposed determining who gets to be on the list via an auction. Companies like Duck Duck Go were outraged, and demanded to be listed for free, and eventually Android went with listing the most popular search engines in each country.

Now it turns out that they've been paying Apple all this time, and not said a word. I guess it makes sense. Duck Duck Go cannot afford to speak against Apple for fear of retaliation, while Google is a punching bag they can hit for free PR any time they feel like it.

Even without SSO, a bitwarden team subscription let's you administratively revoke organization access at negligible business cost.

Note that revocation is insufficient to protect current passwords: The user may have made a copy. For that you need password rotation and second factors like a hardware token.

Regardless, shared credentials should be reserved for when there no other solution is technically possible. At the very least when shared credentials cannot be avoided, try to split it into multiple domains - read-only vs "production open heart surgery", devs vs prod admins, automation vs humans, etc. For automation, always make new tokens for each use - and never store them, as you can always make more. Consider only issuing credentials to people upon request, and revoking them after the fact. There are many mechanisms to reduce risk.

This article is avoiding the elephant in the room. From talking to students it is quite clear to me that the main student use case for AI is as a homework assistant. You tell ChatGPT your homework question and ask what's the answer.

In some cases ChatGPT will simply give you the perfect answer and there's nothing more you need to do. In some cases ChatGPT will give you an incomplete answer and you need to finish it up yourself. Often here asking some followup related questions will be quite useful. In some cases ChatGPT will give you a subtly wrong answer and you need to figure that out.

I think the toughest ethical situations arise when ChatGPT can give you a perfect answer to your homework problem. Is it unethical for a student to use ChatGPT in this case? Does superficially rewriting the answer to put it in your own words make it ethical? Is it appropriate for professors to give out A's to the students who cut and paste from GPT4, while giving lower grades to students who don't realize that such a tool is available, or who won't pay $20/month for the best homework tool?

> Third, about 60 percent of the words on any page are “noncontent words”—words like the, so and what that cannot be decoded by sounding out. Ironically, three of the five words in the The Cat in The Hat title are noncontent words. Characterizing them as “renegades,” phonics accords them minimal teaching time.

Those are taught very early as “sight words” in every school program I’m aware of—most of which are unfortunately still doing some whole-language crap, but that’s not why they do sight words, it’s because the author’s observation is trivial and already accounted for by any serious system for teaching reading.

Teaching time isn’t “minimized”, they do enough that the kids get it, then move on. If they didn’t, literacy rates would be far worse, since, as the author observes, these are most words on a page. I’m not aware of a single teacher of reading who doesn’t take these very seriously, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend tons and tons of time on them.

[edit] further, their ubiquity is precisely why they generally don’t take a ton of time: daily review of sight words happens naturally the whole rest of the kids’ lives. If they kinda get a set of sight words one week, they’ll typically really get them before long, with little or no further time dedicated just to them. Most kids can memorize a set of sight words just barely well enough to pass the quiz or whatever, then never need to formally review or revisit them because the knowledge will solidify due to being incidentally reviewed in practically all later reading instruction.

My prediction (you can check my results):

AMZN price will be largely unchanged.

There does seem to be some antitrust exposure there:

=========
Anti-discounting measures that punish sellers and deter other online retailers from offering prices lower than Amazon, keeping prices higher for products across the internet. For example, if Amazon discovers that a seller is offering lower-priced goods elsewhere, Amazon can bury discounting sellers so far down in Amazon’s search results that they become effectively invisible.

Conditioning sellers’ ability to obtain “Prime” eligibility for their products—a virtual necessity for doing business on Amazon—on sellers using Amazon’s costly fulfillment service, which has made it substantially more expensive for sellers on Amazon to also offer their products on other platforms. This unlawful coercion has in turn limited competitors’ ability to effectively compete against Amazon.
