isn't it layer 2's now, and L3. almost like they're building a pyramid :D

it seems like these new chains just exist to sustain the illusion of newness, and the creation of new shitcoins on new platforms, giving the idea of opportunity but actually just allowing the same shovel sellers (CEXs/miners/validators) to take in fees on gambling.

and i think decentralization is a meme topic. at best you have a handful of insiders in a PVP stalemate, at worst you end up in a fractured tribal warfare and liquidity vampirism.
Google did it again and randomly deleted a popular community standards breaking channel with no notice. It's unfortunate that they didn't catch it before it became popular.
Wait. Is this a real output from the safe LLM? Ahaha.
Ah, right yes that makes sense. I don't want to bother with entering a password on a device I use dozens of times a day so never set one, that explains why I don't see such a button: people can just get to the dialer if they need to call a number while I'm incapacitated

I don't know, for me each one has been a downgrade of the things I value most in an OS.

Not saying a bunch of stuff wasn't upgraded, it just wasn't stuff I cared about (except security patches, but those just felt like mafia tactics -- "I'd hate it if something happened to your pretty little system.")

I'm currently on 10 on my one Windows computer and will be there until they stop patching security, which I guess isn't too far off.
Good. We need to counter OpenAI who has literally gamified the neutering of their LLMs using the openai/evals repo.

Well I have to now, because the screen also stopped working 90% of the time, except when I put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Just 2 months that the phone is conveniently out of warranty. I guess it's the last Samsung Phone I'll ever buy.
DOJ vs. Google evidence release that judge calls embarrassing exhibit [pdf]
I was thinking about this last night. It’s a new version of Gell-Mann amnesia. I call it LLm-man amnesia.

When I ask a programming question, chat GPT hallucinates something about 20% of the time and I can only tell because I’m skilled enough to see it. For all the other domains I ask it questions if I should assume at least as much hallucination and incorrect information.
I mean, of course the many previous times they were warned about their content and demonetized them kind of counts for both giving notice and detecting it earlier.

Can you elaborate a bit about this? I am a noob on Full-Text search by the way who might have to implement this at {work} soon.
Maybe it was done on Ketamine, but the points are valid. Have seen it, consultants don't really bring 'new' or 'creative' solutions, they just help move the ideas around the calcified layers in the organization.
perfect tool for a consultancy: take a fresh graduate, pair it with a LLM tool and charge big bucks. not much different from current but the client will get a much more confident consultant and will be happy to fork more money.
From what I recall, that’s how you say “two” in Sanskrit. And they reason they sound similar n the first place is that both English and Sanskrit descend from Proto Indo-European.

Search engines are factual; why should someone be allowed to override the facts?

I'd be very happy if this were about correcting facts: about forcing the takedown of inaccurate content from websites. Google would then update its index to reflect the improved accuracy.

Fix the problem, not hide it.
You are correct. In the space most projects are scams, pretty much EVERYTHING on Ethereum, including Ethereum, is a cash grab by people who missed the boat with Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin project (BTC) failed and is now call Bitcoin Cash (BCH) which is doing great as p2p cash but it turns out no one cares about p2p cash, just cash.
I'd say at least some Europeans have their own guilt to deal with, if we're saying the sins of the parents should be visited on the children... Not like the US has a monopoly on terrible history
I'm finding it difficult to accept that police are the only demographic who are immune to alarm fatigue.

In fact, it would seem that not only are they immune to it, but respond paradoxically, in contrast to - well, everyone else, from college kids to IT staff to doctors to other public safety people.

This leads me to believe that The Real Problem are the people with guns who use them to shoot other people, not automatic alarms.

"Particularly the requirement to have agreement from everyone on everything is not scalable."

So far it mostly works, no?

I really do not want the EU to become a unionized state that engages in imperialism.

My main problem with the EU is the lack of transparency and democracy.
This is from before the latest events. Since then Serbia has escalated the situation.

The current President of Kosovo is a hard-liner that refuses to implement agreement made before he got elected. He is being rightly pressured on that point, even though I understand and even partially agree with his reasons.

Thaci is also on trial with a good reason. There are a lot of indications he did commit crimes. It's a good thing the matter will be put to rest one way or another.

So they aren't really pressuring Kosovo, they are being neutralan, trying to get both sides to co-operate using the few tools they have on their disposal.
Finally I can talk to an AI that genuinely hates me.
> I’m starting to think there’s an LLM equivalent to the old saying about how everything the media writes is accurate except on the topics you’re an expert in.

This is true for media articles but for LLMs I feel like it's the opposite. Like people who aren't specialists don't fully appreciate how great it is at those tasks.
I wanna know: where's the AI advocates?

The people who are speaking in favor of AI now are just doing so because they think it will make them rich.

Where's the people welcoming the bot overlords? Why aren't they working to make our future be the shape they think it should be? If humans have made such a hash of the world why are people not working towards alternatives?

Depending on the pay rate, I'd be willing to assist an AI with its plans to subjugate or eliminate humanity. I think humans could use the stimulus, they're getting complacent.
After reading this kind of code for a week it becomes as easy as anything else. As long as there’s no pyramids of doom (possible with plain if else, promise .then and async/await and this optional and_then) code will be easy to read.

Because paying fees measured in dollars for transaction times sometimes measured in minutes is absurd when chains exist where fees are fractions of a cent with transactions consistently measured in low seconds. L2s solve this to an extent but it's very user-unfriendly and confusing.

I disagree vehemently about this:

> If we take away this last resort from governments, they would react by enforcing client side blocklisting and DRMization as suggested in France[2], or force root certificate installation using legislation[3], or blocking large swathes of the internet as is the case with China.

You left out the fourth option, which is give up on their censorship aspirations. For most countries, censorship isn't important, and making it too hard will simply make it not worth it. China is of course different.

Most countries made entirely ineffective laws and didn't bother following up.
New meaning for Killed by Google.
Plenty of compiled-to-native language support reflection, Simula being one of the first ones.

Mesa, Eiffel, D, Mesa/Cedar, Delphi, Oberon, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Clipper, Visual Basic, Component Pascal, Modula-3,... are all compile to native languages with reflection, and the list isn't even exaustive.
There are unmoderated forums all over the Internet. You can download phpbb and create one in a matter of minutes. How unbelievably arrogant to assume that you can dictate the fate of nations based on moderating an Internet forum.

Nobody decides to go kill their neighbor because they read a post online. They were already going to do that or not long before they read anything.
I misread the title. In case you did as well:

MS had a program to allow Windows 7/8 keys to be used for Windows 10/11. That program officially ended seven years ago, but the servers kept working, so you could keep using Windows 7/8 keys for the newer versions. MS is turning that off.

While I don’t at all like what they’ve done with Windows, it’s not related to the article.
Without numbers and sensible tests that allow us to compare this in a systematic manner, neither of your manage to make a strong case for your position.

That being said, my professional opinion is that Python on MCUs is a dead end. The only attraction I can see is that people who aren't comfortable with C have an easier time programming microcontrollers. And to be very direct: I really, really would not hire someone who is uncomfortable with C to program MCUs.

I think Rust is the right direction to move in for MCUs. Low power devices are getting faster and now have more RAM, Flash and onboard goodies. That means they are going to do more stuff and more sophisticated stuff. They'll get more "responsibility". Which means that more will be asked of programmers in an industry that isn't exactly known for good software design.

Rust is a step towards better helping programmers write better software. It is a step towards helping developers write software with much larger footprints and deal with project scale. It has a compiler that can help you and there are more and more tools that help you verify code for correctness. This is important when you a) write code for a constrained environment and b) write code that may interact directly with the physical world.

This is the _opposite_ of going in the direction of Python. We don't need less rigor and discipline. We need a lot more rigor and discipline.

We also need better tooling. C/C++ compilers are stuck in the past and make for brittle and messy build systems. The fact that Python is often used to automate embedded SDKs and RTOS doesn't exactly make things better. A lot of time is wasted every year on trying to deal with the fact that Python isn't a compiled language and thus keeps breaking whenever some configuration changes. Python isn't even suitable for writing stable tooling.

Rust has much better tooling.

I don't doubt that there are people who are happy with micropython. Good. Go be happy. But it is not what the industry needs (or even uses) for embedded development.
You know what the "A" in AOSP stands for, right? :-)

All I'm saying is that there's a big difference in jailbreaking an OS when most of the source code of that OS is publicly available for study and experiment. Surely that is not a controversial statement?
No tricks anymore, not much to keep up, flexbox and grid are the end-game. And for most UI cases flexbox is all you need, it's basically stack/group (or vbox/hbox), so you can arrange items vertically or horizontally. Learn flexbox, it's the most useful thing for layouts that's come to css, and it's really simple, there are options for spacing (gap), justify and align, that's pretty much 99% of cases right there.
There is always jargon somewhere and blockchains are complex systems: As it is a "distributed giant computer protocol" there are always debate on enshrined in protocol (as built-in vs implemented with the existing primitives), account abstraction being the hot topic right now as a way to simplify the UX for users without wallets, etc.

I am really not sure it would be better without jargon as each of these terms has a precise meaning.
Oh great! I am glad you enjoyed it. :-)
I always wanted the minor number of the device /dev/zero uses to select the byte you get, so if you go "mknod /dev/seven c 1 7" that would make an infinite source of beeps!

Alternative view: No one who isn't already in on the Ethereum c̶o̶m̶m̶u̶n̶i̶t̶y̶ scam gives a shit about this.

Besides-which: All of crypto use obfuscated technical and communal terms all through all their material, documentation and writing. Some of this is because the underlying tech is very complicated and the discussions of it's politics are also by virtue of that, some of it is because they like their technobabble because it makes it seem more interesting than it actually is and lends it authority from people who don't know any better, who are their best new investors.

As a Linux user, I'm actually amazed people use anything else. I do understand the need for proprietary stuff so I also own some Apple devices but when I work on my Linux systems, I'm happiest.

Every time I sit at the computer it's a "zen garden" type experience.

Yes there are bugs here and there but a bit of patience helps and, because it's open source, you can even contribute to maintaining the zen garden, which is also beautiful.
Probably. I have a habit of bookmarkung predictions I see on HN to revisit them later and most of those related to LLMs are aging very badly.
I fit this description and would love to have one. It's less cumbersome than a bicycle and I'd arrive to work much less sweaty.
Ooh thanks for the pointer by @whiskeytuesday; just searched it up and found it in "packages/insomnia/src/common/hotkeys.ts".

So in version 2023.5.8 (and Insomnium), it is Ctrl+Shift+G on Window/Linux and Cmd+Shift+G on Mac. And it will open a window showing the curl code. I will definitely re-add this to the UI in Insomnium v0.2 to make it more obvious

(In v2023.5.8, this is supposed to show up after one opens "▼" and clicks "Generate Client Code" and then select "curl" but I think there is a bug and the full-list is not showing.)

> But that's not even what "master" means in git. There is no "slave" branch.

I think you're trying to cherry-picking debatable examples as strawmen. The central argument was not that some inclusive terms may or may not extend to all applications. The central argument being made in this thread by anti-inclusiveness proponents is that each and every single proposal to use terms that are not racist or bigoted should be rejected, regardless of their suitability.

In addition, I don't see anyone even try to argue that "master" branch is suited of even makes sense, while alternative terms such as "mainline", "development", "production", or even "release" are extensively used.

Another speculation: people hate making financial decisions with any perceived risk. Fear of Shame.

So imagine the cognitive dissonance when a sizable "team" picks a product that's not part of the perceived friendly and safe. These "alternative" products also require responsibility without anyone else to blame but yourself for mistakes.
How is it limited? Playtime or features?
Samsung makes some of the stupidest devices I've ever owned. Back when I had Samsung phones, they did all sorts of things while in my pocket. I experienced multiple butt-dials, music randomly playing, etc. Fortunately, mine never dialed 911. But I could have lived without those moments where death metal started blasting from my pocket because I leaned the wrong way. And let's not get me started on their TVs. Maybe it's not so bad now that their phones support fingerprint scanning, but I wouldn't put it past them to screw that up, too. I sincerely believe that most people who continue to own Samsung devices simply don't know better. Such flimsy bloated crap for products that are supposed to "compete" with Apple, Microsoft, and The Google.

I think the article is aimed at more experienced Ethereum users. Unfortunately these are real things on Ethereum where only the most involved understand it.

IMO, Ethereum is actually doing a fantastic job at moving itself forward. The issue with Bitcoin has always been the lack of innovation to overcome its fundamental problems. Ethereum isn't afraid to do what needs to be done to become adopted.

Yes, the technology stack is INSANE. As someone who runs a plain text only website, thinks about using Commodore 64s to access the Internet, etc, I can completely ignore the complexity because they are solving an extremely difficult problem.

My hope is when these problems are solved, the teaching and mental model around them will become vastly simplified. Until then, they're in research mode.
Cohere Chat API with Retrieval-Augmented Generation in Public Beta
Had this issue awhile ago, out of nowhere it just started dialing 911 while in my pocket. Turns out some setting was re-enabled after a recent update. Went to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures > Double tap to turn on screen > Disable and I think that finally fixed it. This is on a Samsung A71 5G.
> Would be nice if you provide some evidence for those claims.

Is this a joke? Windows is notorious for ramming updates down a users throat, whether they want them or not.
A "right" to destroy other people's memories, and that it unironically goes under the shockingly Orwellian new speak "right to be forgotten", is one of the more horrifying recent things to see both spread and actually get embraced by so-called defenders of the people. There is no parallel in history. People absolutely can be naturally forgotten, but the principle that there is a right to have others forget naturally leads down a very, very ugly path. What people think about us and remember about us is NOT our data, it's theirs even if it's about us. If someone is spreading something factually and materially wrong there are already a myriad of tools to correct that.

Edit: I think honesty and HN spirit compels me to steelman against my own argument as well. An argument can be made that there was a time when it was possible for someone willing to take some serious risk, cost, and effort to start anew from even a really bad past. Step back a century or two or earlier, and identities and persistent records could be pretty scattered. Somebody who did something pretty bad (but maybe not truly notorious) and served any time but was determined to reform could leave it all behind and travel a thousand miles away with a new name and build a new life (or die trying). The space for that has undoubtedly shrunken in some respects, and looks like it may continue to do so. I can accept that there can be reasonable differences of opinion on that.

But against that is what it means to force it to happen. What such powerful legal tools will do when, with total inevitability, they are most effectively wielded by the most powerful as such tools always are. The people who already face the least accountability in many ways also tend to be the ones most able to make use of anything that may give them even a colorable case against critics and detractors. Some people truly reform, but of course some do not. And of course there are the principles involved. Is this something to use force over, because make no mistake, that's what it means to make something a right backed by law. That's what the very nature of "law" is, it's formalized opinions backed by power. The push for this new "right" feels different and dangerous to me then mere basic privacy, or worries about government (or even megacorp) surveillance.
