Talent and Hard Work? Think Again
I’m not sure what “go after” means in this context. OPEC is a group of countries, so it’s a diplomatic issue. And the west does apply pressure on them to behave in certain ways. But it’s diplomacy or warfare, not a legal issue.
Their website redesign is so unintuitive.
You'll be able to load very large models, but it is far from the fastest inferencing option at $7,000. You can outperform the M2 Ultra's inferencing speed with an Nvidia machine half the price.

It's not a bad pick necessarily, but there's also a good reason the M2 Ultra isn't the inferencing chip of choice in the industry; nobody really supports CoreML or Metal acceleration.
It would be, but they didn't.

I assume this was the reference point for that comment:

> life is nothing but challenges and hardships. I refuse to throw a newborn life into this hellscape.
This has been my experience too. Not for a lack of trying either! Looking back now, it seems obvious.

I like to leave interesting things lying around where we hangout the most though. Giving them at least an opportunity to get interested (and almost inevitably lose interest!).
I mean the first one is probably not right either, since often you need to do some particular thing or use some library you are unfamiliar with but it is at least more right than on your personal computer for the other reasons listed.
Good call.

That's my M.O.

I take it a bit further. I won't go into pissing matches. If folks wanna fight, I'm not the guy to do it.

My general stance is, if it's complimentary/good, I don't worry too much about getting specific. If not, I keep it vague (which sometimes pisses people off, but life is not fair).

I generally don't name my former employers, just to keep their name out of venues where someone else with a grudge could throw poo (see "Apple" -not a former employer of mine).
Who came up with the idea for iPhone, iPod, iPad, and iTunes? Not Steve Jobs?
I am reading the book "Start wit why?" And in it the author states that Steve Jobs did not come up with the idea for iPhone, iPod, iPad, and iTunes; but instead Steve foster an environment where people were free to come up with crazy ideas.

Is this true?

Does anyone have any good resources like books/articles on the matter?

Thanks in advance.
Very impressive. I hope we get the ability for "meta" things to work, like asking for a rectangular image, a 16x16 spritesheet, etc. Also, not using Bing search, sorry MS.
What’s the evolutionary advantage of having a stroke?

Nothing. It’s something breaking and having arbitrary consequences.
Would you go so far as to say "there's a couple different ways to say that?" As an American, this sounds a little folksy but not that odd. And it wouldn't mean that there are exactly two ways to say something!
> On my site, I have a list of DAWs and a simple Pro/Con view of each

You reviewed three DAWs. Glad you put the link to Admiral Bumblebee's page on yours, because that's actually "a list of DAWs".

Re: MIDI - you can already "play between the notes" using either MTS or even just simple pitch bend - the issue with the latter is building a controller that makes this better than the wheel on most keyboards, the issue with the former is finding synths that understand MTS and use it.

> no good method for hardware acceleration is a limiting factor in the audio world

DSP processors have been available for this since before ProTools, which was fundamentally based on hardware acceleration. In the present era, UAD and others continue (for now) to carry that torch, but the principle problem is that during the period where Moore's Law applied to processor speed, actual DSP could not keep up with generic CPUs (every DSP system was the speed of 1 or 2 generations ahead of generic CPUs). Current generic processors are now so fast that for time domain processing, there's really no need for DSP hardware - you just need a bigger multicore processor if you're running into limits (mostly - there are some exceptions, but DSP hardware wouldn't fix most of them either).
Your childhood interest in 80s computing is like the golden era of MMOs. Now there are bigger and "greater" things and the entire thing just seems poor and pointless now. You can't go back and recreate it, because the context is now different. It would be pure re-enactment. Back then it was the best thing about, if you didn't have an arcade near you then it was probably even the most powerful videogames machine you had access to. Now, there is always the knowledge that you will never make something as cool as what the big companies can make.
Pubs replaced banks in Ireland for several months in 1970 (2016)
Probably. I’ve had limited success getting LLMs (trained on chats/instruct) to output special codes indicating they’re communicating with a separate system (e.g. google, stable diffusion) and then taking that and feeding it back to the user
Nice.

What about the random vandal, who may not be interested in stealing your bike, but will damage or destroy it? Do they fit in your threat model or is that a different risk pool?

Wild tangent: Phone companies used to be very stingy with their tools; locked up at all times and such; but the materiel would often be left out and they wouldn't care if an entire spool of wire vanished. The Power company was exactly the opposite: the wire and transformers and consumables would be guarded but the toolboxes on the trucks would be unlocked and full of goodies.

Between the two, there wasn't much you couldn't pick up at a total discount.

Both these companies thought through their threat models, and somehow arrived at a situation that had all other construction in the city less worried about theft: i've always wondered how that came about.
I've had many conversations exactly like yours, literally. To reasonable people being convinced that's normal, and me trying to explain how it's probably a coincidence or ad targeting.
Note that the person who made this actually interviewed homeless people about whether or not this was a problem beforehand. Whether that extended to running the idea past them to see if they thought it was helpful as well, I don't know, but that he even bothered to listen in the first place makes it stand out.

Show HN: NanceFi – Visualize public companies revenue sources, costs and margins
Hey HN!

Today, I'm thrilled to introduce "Nancefi", a SaaS app designed specifically for those who need a deeper insight into SEC reports. If you've ever found yourself sifting through pages of financial data, you know how daunting and time-consuming it can be. With Nancefi, we bring a solution to this problem.

*Key Features:*

* Data Extraction: Our advanced algorithms scan through SEC reports, pulling the most relevant data points for analysis.

* Sankey Diagram Visualization: Visualize the extracted data in a comprehensive manner using Sankey diagrams. This makes understanding the flow of information and resource allocation easier than ever before.

* API Consumption: For developers and businesses looking to integrate this data into their systems, we provide a robust API to fetch and utilize the extracted information.

Tech Stack:
We've built Nancefi using some of the most modern and powerful tools:

- Frontend: Next.js with TailwindCSS for a sleek and responsive design.
- Backend: PostgreSQL for reliable data storage, tRPC for efficient remote procedure calls, and Prisma for easy database interaction.

* Why Nancefi?:
The world of financial data is vast and often hard to navigate. With Nancefi, we aim to make this journey smoother for analysts, businesses, and anyone interested in understanding SEC reports in depth.

Give it a Try!:
We would love for you to try out Nancefi and share your feedback.

Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions!
I assume it's a hyper-corrective insertion of an 'h'
I don't really have a suggestion for a motivating goal (like a game), but my first thought is Linux not Windows or macOS. I 'cut my teeth' on Windows, but you just end up with pointless techniques/'skills' with no understanding like 'try rebooting', 'clear registry' etc. and simply setting an environment variable is made to seem like some mystifyingly advanced thing.

Second thought is Raspberry Pi - through a combination of cost & GPIO. You didn't mention hardware, but with 'computers' at the user-friendly stage they are today, that's probably the best way to recreate the feeling you want? Tinkering on the computer resulting in some real life visual/audible/etc. output. (Or RL sensors making something happen on the computer.)

I don't know if there's any abstraction as wonderful as the disk->file abstraction that has enabled most modern computing.

Perhaps though the current frontier is the software->application abstraction that can be explored through public git repositories and Github "Topics".

Of course the application for this set would mirror the popular brain drains, short-form content production, video game mods/cheats/piracy, deep fakes and pranks, etc.

Just as the OS and operation of a few commercial packages you had access to in the 80s seemed limitless, so is the landscape of FOSS packages.

My thing is, if this is true, then a fairly large percentage of us will experience a “lock-in” syndrome of complete paralysis for as long as a hour before we die.

Agreed. Not sure what the status of the company is either. Their GitHub repos have been quiet for years.
It's unironically a cargo cult. GameStop was insanely oversold by short sellers and had an astronomical short squeeze because of it, but then it got limited by the big guys (because it literally had the potential to bankrupt Robinhood) and now it's probably the purest example of an anti-establishment cult, taking legitimate grievances about Wall Street and making them stupid
There are lots of ways to do this, companies divest into worker cooperatives all the time.
That’s not necessarily true. You can cluster and replicate HSMs to provide scalability but it is common practice to forbid extraction of private key material. In many cases you can’t change that setting without a complete reset of the device.

Edit: to expand on this a bit. The clustering will involve exchanging key material in encrypted form between each HSM. But that exchange is typically protected and authenticated by keys that are themselves attested as having been created securely in hardware. You can’t just inject your own keys to mitm that connection.

This is correct, Ceph's RadosGW doesn't support this feature.

For people trying to figure out if their provider is using Ceph, make a request for https://<s3-endpoint>/test and see if the x-amz-request-id header begins with "tx000", if it does, then they're using Ceph.

$ curl -sSi https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/test/ | grep x-amz-request-id

Yes, I think this is true.

Also factor in the age and value of the bike. You can further reduce the chances of your bike being stolen by custom-painting it.
And it's indeed heightened consciousness and not merely hallucinations as in several cases people describe scenes and events occurring around them or even far away from them, that are later confirmed and verified. My only conclusion is that somehow our consciousness is completely independent from our brains, is connected to everything like a huge network, and survives death to exist in another dimension of reality.

> As a would-be parent, it is your duty to guarantee a comfortable childhood for your child. This means having a reliable and sufficient income stream to provide for a reasonably comfortable life. If you lack that sort of income, it is irresponsible to become a parent.

Unless your family is very well to-do, you likely only have to look back 2-3 generations on yourself (or anyone) to find parents who don't meet that line. Are you saying the vast majority of humanity are irresponsible parents, or do you believe this to be a new standard that must be followed?
As jrmj notes, phone plans with tethering aren't as common and often come with strings attached.

I use my phone in coffee shops that don't have [acceptable] WiFi. The main drawback is needing to be mindful of phone battery in addition to the laptop battery.

That being said, it's a great resource when you need a space to work at 11am-2pm (when all of the WiFi-offering spots are filled). There are a couple of local coffee shops with no WiFi, that don't forbid laptops – they're usually empty during peak hours.
Midjourney is discord only? Wait, that sounds like an insane load (just the storage+bandwidth, I know the models don't run there) on Discord's servers. It's a pretty neat way to be able to scale super quickly at first but I would think that discord wouldn't like it. I would also have imagined that they'd have built their own interface by now.
That seems like par for the course in this day and age. A nice sentiment and idea, but it doesnt actually work. But that doesn’t stop it from going on the cv and a small marketing push about it.

The article advocates publishing old DKIM keys in order to provide deniability. You create a new DKIM key, publish the old one. With the old dkim key forging an old email is relatively easy.

Someone takes you to court and submits an old email that you sent as evidence. You can demonstrate that it is possible that anyone could have signed that email using the now-published DKIM key.

It is interesting that you can do this. A question is whether and when you would want to do so. Someone points out that good or bad conspirators might want to this: you send out anti-Putin emails and can deny it. Other ones?

Another point seems to be that DKIM is really designed not to verify emails, but to verify email senders.

<humor>
Understanding this, I wonder if there are other things you can do with email using the same DKIM signing kind of mechanism. Like what about an OSIM signature, that uses a key only issued to email services that are not Google or Hotmail or one of the other big email people. If the message does not come from an OSIM host, then the email is delivered but goes into a o_spam folder?
<end humor/>
From the article:

"While most homeless people own a phone, Talbot conducted interviews with people sleeping rough across London and found that many struggle with finding a place where they can actually charge the device."

So apparently at least part of the homeless disagree with you.

I'm all but certain you're certain you're incorrect.

I would invite you to do a ride along with your local police, local EMS / Fire Rescue if allowed, to develop a more informed opinion, as they spend a significant amount of time interacting with the homeless population.
There is approx zero chance that you can get a homeless person to do labor for 20 minutes, let alone the 2-5 hours this would actually take. By and large homeless are in such despair that they won't invest in activities that will benefit them in the future.

If by some miracle this actually took off and all the bikes were now in use by homeless, non-paying customers, bike rental companies would implement blocking measures so they could actually get revenue.

If the author used his resources and energy deliberately to get even a single homeless person back on track through conventional means, it would have a better impact on the world than this which is probably a net negative, all things considered.

> You think they’re happier to pay more than to pay less?

People are not rational consumers.

See the Palessi story from a few years ago: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/payless-sold-discount-shoes...

Tl;dr: Payless Shoes, a discount shoe retailer, opened a fake high-end store under the Palessi name and got fashion influencers to gush about how great the shoes were. People who actually bought such Palessi shoes probably were happier with them than if they’d bought them at Payless.
Feature. Once the multimodal rollout is complete Plus will have image gen, image recognition, voice recognition and voice gen all integrated with the chat capabilities so you can combine those features in novel ways like the link Brockman retweeted showing ChatGPT acting as a language tutor and conversation partner.
I agree. I wanted some numbers:

From the article:

> The age of the lowest fossil, a fragment of a leg bone found 7 meters deep, suggests modern humans arrived in this region between 86,000 and 68,000 years ago.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_migrations

> From the BMAC, the Indo-Aryans migrated into northern Syria and, possibly in multiple waves, into the Punjab (northern Pakistan and India), while the Iranians could have reached western Iran before 1300 BCE, both bringing with them the Indo-Iranian languages.

It's mostly militaries and NGOs like the Red Cross that handle rapid disaster response, so I think clarifying that NGOs don't buy random stuff off AliExpress is a valid response to someone asking why they're paying more than AliExpress prices.
They shit and piss on the sidewalk. They yell profanities at people walking by. The (occasionally at least) assault people.

How do they not affect you?
This is a great answer. I think you already hint at this but I wanted to elaborate on it a bit: the big thing that our kids fall in love with will not necessarily be computing (at least not in the sense that we mean), and that's okay.

We grew up at various stages of a massive revolution—some are reminiscing for the 80s, I'm at the tail end reminiscing for the early web and then the Flash era. Computers were wonderful to me because I could, as a kid, produce results that looked and felt like they were in the same ballpark as what I saw professionals doing. It was the frontier, and I felt like I was helping to explore it.

In the last two decades computing has grown up, and having grown up it's no longer possible for children to participate in the frontier. From a young age they interact primarily with toys and tools that would be impossible for any one of us to make alone, much less for a child who's still learning. Sandboxes like Scratch are great, but an adventurous kid who wants to be at the frontier will very quickly recognize it as just that: a sandbox. It's not as compelling because it's artificial, created specifically for their education.

Instead, I expect that my children will find something else, a new frontier to push. My kids don't want toys curated by their parents, they want to explore the world and they want to contribute. They are going to find the fields that are still fresh, that still have mystery, that don't require years of education to get to the point where they can contribute meaningfully. And that's awesome! I'm excited to see what they find, and excited for them to show me along.

There's no indication the cGPT interface will be doing anything different. If you see the demo, it's clearly generating text for each image at the start.

- The only non-Chrome browser available across 3 operating systems I use.

- The only mobile browser that supports extensions.

These two alone make it an objectively a better solution for me than Chrome or Safari, regardless of how I feel about any of them. If I was on iOS and didn't run Linux on my personal computer, then Safari might've been a worthy alternative. Since I'm not, Firefox is really the only one that satisfies both of those criteria, no "ideological" reasons necessary.
