If I recall correctly, a number of years ago, plenty prior to ChatGPT, there was an incident with a scientific journal (don't recall the name though). Perhaps others here may know of this incident too...

So apparently someone submitted a paper that was entirely nonsense. This was intentional but not explicit as it was just a stunt. The paper had all the right fancy/technical words, the right structure, likely even images, and apparently a convincing conclusion. But it was all about nothing, nothing substantial at all, nada. Had a peer reviewer actually read the paper, it would have not been published and summarily tossed. But it did go print and oh boy, the journal's board/powers-that-be were pissed. I didn't follow the story much past that point but I think something was supposedly proposed to prevent this.
Glad you like it! Like the big brother concept. :)

Alpha actually supported both VAX and IEEE. But I guess people on VMS wanted to stay VAX compatable.
No idea. I use IntelliJ for Java/Kotlin and emacs for everything else (Clojure, Python, JS, etc). I still encounter the occasional lunatic who uses eclipse or netbeans.

I know VSCode is the "standard" editor for front-end devs, and so I assume some of them are trying to keep their code editor when moving into backend work. I have to believe it's not as good - for a time I really, really tried to make emacs work for Java development, but it just.... doesn't :)

That takes a million years - what happens in the short run is a certain type of species well adapted to our changes will take over the roles in a less specialized capacity. What type? Well,

1. They will be adapted to living in close contact with humans.

2. They will be dietary opportunists (since they must have had a latent ability to eat an extinct species' diet once it got freed up)

3. They will be small, since large animals can't live in the tiny, divided-up parcels of land that we create with roads and fences.

Therefore they will be what we consider pests! Enjoy living in your rat and roach infested world, fellow humans, you've selected them to inherit the earth from wolves, lions and eagles. :/
They are just too late even if they catch up. Until they make a leap like they did with ryzen nothing will happen.
Density increase isn’t the only angle. That’s why I also listed telework, transportation, etc.

We need a multi pronged approach. Basically any policy that improves housing affordability without too much negative or perverse incentive elsewhere should be favored.

Depending on the country, it is not an absolute right, but still recognized as an essential one.

I find it odd that there is no mention of RMS, the userspace filesystem view on VMS. It supported sequential, block (a.k.a. "relative") and indexed files; sequential output (the DCL command was TYPE rather than cat or more) was transparent (i.e. indexed file output was in primary key order). This was done at the file system level.

TLDR: The VMS file system supported key/value storage off the shelf (with multiple key views!).

I accidentally crashed a production VAX from userspace via an unaligned disk read on a unibus compatibility driver (they were also using the disk they assigned me for testing for swap; virtual memory machines don't run so well when the swap drive bug checks and goes offline) while developing a RSTS block I/O emulator.

I later had a small consulting gig writing a USB driver for NT. The people who hired me said that because I had experience with VMS drivers I'd be able to do it; not knowing different I said "ok" and I guess they were right.

My intuition is along the lines that if AMD had a competing product earlier, then it would have kept prices down. But since Nvidia has shown what the market will pay, AMD won't be able to resist overcharging. It will probably come down a little, but nowhere near to the point of affordability.

I sure hope I'm wrong.
I am assuming humans don't go extinct but if the global economic system collapses then yes, the 3rd option is essentially extinction or at the very least an extremely drastic reduction of the human population.
> reaching peak brightness and fading again in a matter of days, unlike supernovae which take weeks or months to dim.

This phrase appears in the article four times. It is not the only phrase repeated multiple time. This is not the first article doing that, I see it regularly: you read the abstract and then 2-3 repetitions of the abstract with minor modifications adding exactly zero new information. It seems to me as a trend in the article writing to repeat something multiple times, with an average number of repetitions growing from year to year.

It forces me to skim article instead of reading it thoroughly to seek something I didn't read yet.

I wonder what makes writers to do it? Is it like in a school when you need to write a text with a specific lower bound for a word count?
I could be missing the gist here, but don't StumpWM, EXWM, and possibly others do this?
Don't waste your time on such worthless rhetoric coming from the other guy. He clearly thinks it's okay to hurt people, moreso if it can be argued 'they brought it on themselves'. I wonder what their opinions on sexual assault are.

Did you read my comment? (Also Postman is not open source, it just has some open source pieces)
Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus are all brand names for the same underlying drug semaglitude that was approved first for diabetes in different dosages.
Entirely off-topic, but why do some comments on HN have manual line breaks but most just soft-wrap? On my phone (Hacki app) each line is soft-wrapped, then hard-wrapped after 1 or 2 words, which looks quite off
"Another issue he brought up with the study is that the researchers found that people on Ozempic were five times more likely to drink alcohol compared to the other medications."

Hm. May have located the problem.

This is considered to be the first generation of weight loss drugs that work. There will probably be better ones.
I think you are missing the point by a mile.

I don't care about people knowing my email, but security isn't the point or even the concern.

I was at a birthday hike for a friend - up a short granite hill for good views, some slow meandering around a lake. Very relaxed stuff. One of her guests couldn't make it up the hill. Full on bawling, had to leave early. This woman could not participate in even a casual hike for a friends party and she clearly wanted to be able to.

I was fat but below the obesity level before I started my whole thing and the first "benefit" I noticed was that I could do any physical activity. I might be bad at it, but I could rock climb, and kayak, and play basketball with people. The "Oh, I can't do that" was simply _gone_.

sometimes the code is deeply complex stuff that has accumulated for over 30 years. to _just_ rewrite it in CUDA can be a massive undertaking that could easily produce subtly incorrect results that end up in papers could propagate far into the future by way of citations etc
"Operations Research and Management", basically quantitatively focused MBA, is considered an engineering discipline. Whether or not it is Real Engineering is maybe a matter of contention, but so is the question of whether "software engineering" is Real Engineering; anyway the point being the separation between "engineering" and "management" can be a bit fuzzy

The problem is that facts are not differentiable. If I have a statement “The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776” and the model replaces 1776 with 1775 that’s incorrect but in some sense just as incorrect as 1876 or 1976. So the loss at all but the correct output should be 1.0, making it pretty hard to learn. It’s like finding a hole in an infinite flat plane with trillions of dimensions.
Kreya is the only alternative I've used that prioritizes gRPC support (along with REST). Regardless of source availability, thank you for creating this!

More patience than me haha, I remember the last project like that I was on with a small group of contractors - we spent the half of the first few weeks working around all these theatrical limits. We had an HTTP Proxy that could run over RDP. Fortunately nobody was really looking (or caring).
You can also replace the battery with a much smaller one - eg. a coin cell, and it'll normally run fine.
Interesting that Cutler was working on circuit-oriented stuff that late in the 80s? Or was this invented much earlier, just patented later? He was courted by Microsoft in '89, so this patent looks like it went through after he'd left DEC, which I guess explains why you didn't have the opportunity to interact with him.

I'd be interested in hearing more about this though!
There's no nationwide research infrastructure for gleaning insights like that. But large provider organizations have huge patient populations and do a lot of research. They have multiple studies underway for Ozempic and similar drugs.
I'm sure I've read about specialized neural networks being created. The human brain has (apparently) a bunch of different kinds of neurons in it that specialize in processing different information. I'm not sure how that would work with our current architectures, though.
I still get sick even though I wash my hands. Let me stop washing my hands.
It's verbose to write and read.

You need an assist for both.
Highly recommend the HTTP client in the JetBrains IDEs. I looked carefully at the standalones in this category and IMHO it’s the best. Text based so you can seamlessly manage everything with your repo, with automatic features built in from parsing the text.

Oh I understand it's a business. I'm just making it clear why I'm not biting, on the off chance Epic employees are here.

Businesses should study their markets. Sadly, many people in the market are completely fine giving away things to get shiny, even giving up revenue. So until standards of customer treatment rise, we'll be dealing with various levels of SaaS.

Except some of us just aren't buying anything, due to the terms and lacking perceived value.

If Unreal works for you that's fine. Why do I have to like or buy it?

This is almost 100% due to developer churn. Every mid-level developer introduced to the project will think they have the new abstraction that will fix everything. Eventually you end up with a monstrosity partially implementing half a dozen different abstractions with no overall architecture. I've seen it many times.

The fix for this is pretty easy though. Keep employees and avoid the churn.
I use it too - it’s excellent, I’d think most developers don’t need more than this.
That’s a load of nonsense that smacks of “I’m really smart and enlightened and everyone else is dumb and incapable of rational thought.”

The idea that all of these people are “just harmless trolls” is unsupportable nonsense. It’s wild how many people want to jump to the defense of these morally repugnant people, though.
All the more reason to rewrite it... You don't want some mistake in 30 year old COBOL code to be making your 2023 experiment to have wrong results.
And many developers are tired of Java making minuscule improvements to developer ergonomics while pretending to be progressing, when even now, it doesn't have features that other languages have had for 30 years.

They "use the equipment" and actual support are not the same. Did they arm ISIS directly or did the weapons end up there a different way?

> But more generally, US, China, Russia have all been fighting/arming proxy wars over there for around 50 years.

But supporting terrorist groups is not something Russia nor China does on this level.
> The credit card security relies mainly on the ability of the bank to rollback in case of "a shit happened" and in the payment terminal itself.

That's certainly not right, the electronic chip in a payment card relies on cryptography, and if you used than together with a PIN the bank has a strong argument to not rollback anything. If you're using a debit card like most of Europe, you're going to have a hard time convincing them.
What does Unreal provide that other engines can't?
I'm not an expert, but from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32103407/:

> Seven CVOTs enrolling 56,004 patients with T2DM were identified, with a median follow-up time ranging from 1.3 to 5.4 years. [...] Conclusion: Pooled analysis of CVOTs did not suggest any increased risk of either acute pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer with GLP-1RA treatment in T2DM patients.
This does align pretty well with my experience. Especially when I've seen multiple ideas that are clearly valuable to customers but not flashy enough for VCs get quickly deprioritized.
It's not a bug to release a version which removed a massive chunk of functionality. It's intentionally fucking over their users who are not willing to create an account.

It's worth noting that AMD also has a ROCm port of Tensorflow.
Does AMD have a solution to forward device combatibility (like PTX for NVidia)?

Last time I looked into ROCm (two years ago?), you seemed to have to compile stuff explicitly for the architecture you were using, so if a new card came out, you couldn't use it without a recompile.
I think you're joking, but I actually want to know these things when adopting tools now to the extent that it's applicable.

Ask HN: Why did all major companies release AI at the same time?
Was it the case that AI was already a thing and kept under wraps until someone pulled the trigger?

In a seemingly coordinated nature, large corporations like Microsoft, Facebook and Google all released their LLMs and AI chatbots. Then nearly immediately after open-source versions came out, many in fact.

So what happened?

Were they always there and just waiting for the greenlight?

Or is it just a case of a 4-minute mile?

I was on it for 2 months, and felt no serious adverse gastrointestinal effects. A tiny bit of nausea, but no vomiting or stomach pains. I was conscious of things acting differently down there so I made sure to eat smaller meals, and avoided fatty foods. A lot of people keep eating just like before and that's where most problems stem from.

Initially my appetite almost completely went away, but then it came back to what felt like normal. There were days where I felt like I was eating too much or binging, but the weight kept coming off at about 2lbs per week. Also, being free from the food noise was incredibly liberating because I'm otherwise always thinking about food.

I ended up stopping because I would get incredibly sleepy at about 10pm to the point where staying up was almost impossible. I tried eating more thinking it was a blood sugar issue, but that didn't help. It just didn't work with my schedule.

I plan to get back on it, or an alternative like Mounjaro.
I wish more folks would get comfortable crushing tablets and weighing out their own dosage on scales. It’s not that hard to cut tabs in half or crush two and make 3 doses out of those, then put them back into caps. Empty gelatin caps are cheap and easy to work with.

Should anyone have to do this? Of course not, but if the choice is between this or projectile vomit every waking hour, it’s not a hard choice IMO.

Lastly, I just wanted to take a moment to think about how useless pharmacies have become that they can’t actually do this for you anymore and literally just count out pills, or more realistically push a button on a machine that counts out the correct amount.
Weird. Mine doesn't, and it's been 8 days since that post. I even checked for updates, and I'm up to date. Maybe they reverted their bone head move? (I don't use it daily)

EDIT: Maybe they did. See last comment here: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/discussions/6590
By "competent", I mean pretty much what you would expect when you talk about a "competent programmer": A somewhat vague concept, yet fairly obvious when working with someone who whats up.

If you would judge GPT4 to be a competent programmer your experience is wildly different from mine. (I am not sure why you felt the need to put a "basic" in there in reference to what I wrote, since that is not what I wrote).
