I've taken to using both vim and nvim, with nvim having copilot. There are times when I'm going in, knowing that I'm re-inventing the wheel, or that I'm refactoring. For those times when I feel like copilot would just get in the way there's vim.

Both copilot and GPT4 have been wonderful 80/20 tools in different ways, and give a remarkable new way to learn.
Which brother do you have / recommend?
I have been quiet happy with my OKI but the phone connection is the only letdown so far and I might change for a brother in the future.
Can't prove it, but it seems to me like black text on white background sites from the past are poorly ranked compared to sites with "modern" layouts.
You're correct, but the person you replied to is correct as well. ChromeOS is GNU/Linux. Android is Linux but not GNU/Linux

Agreed that web search quality has been deteriorating since much earlier than LLMs gaining popularity.

Interestingly, we are in spot right now where I feel that for certain types of queries LLMs can outperform search engines. But from what is shown in the article, it seems like that state might only be temporary, and that in the same way that shitty content farms mastered SEO and polluted search results, we might see the same happening with LLMs that have access to the Internet.
i found out about this today unrelated to this post
I'm not sure about actively deceptive. What else does it mean? Hydrocarbon emissions are what you get when you burn hydrocarbons - H2O, CO2 and CO. If it's referring to a different thing, it's not a hydrocarbon emission.

The image, and the claim within it, is actively deceptive because it's not true.
Hilton at least has a price match guarantee. I don’t know about the others.
There’s a fun thing about quartz wristwatches: one of the biggest contributions to frequency fluctuations in a quartz oscillator is temperature. But if it is strapped to your wrist, it is coupled to your body’s temperature homeostasis. So a quartz watch can easily be more accurate than a quartz clock!

Really good watches allow you to adjust their rate, so if it runs slightly fast or slow at your wrist temperature, you can correct it.

One of the key insights of John Harrison, who won the Longitude prize, was that it doesn’t matter so much if a clock runs slightly fast or slightly slow, so long as it ticks at a very steady rate. Then you can characterise its frequency offset, and use that as a correction factor to get the correct GMT after weeks at sea.
> Yeah, it seems like so many people in here are shilling for AI companies over actual creators, it is absolutely depressing.

It's the general sentiment on HN. Remember this forum is based in SV, moving fast, breaking things, tech eating the world, all that.

This is a really complex issue. Personally I really dislike copyright as it has been used in practice up to now: as a way to lock culture and progress away behind the control of megacorporations.

But now we have the case where the megacorporations are suggesting that they should be immune to such restrictions, free to bypass them given that their bots "transform" the original works. It actually seems like copyright is the only possible check on their power.

I can't claim to know how the matter of law will be resolved here, but "always bet on the biggest corporations winning" is a generally useful heuristic to apply.

By far the worst outcome would be that megacorps are deemed immune from obeying copyright restrictions when consuming creative works, but are somehow still protected by copyright when their bots spit out derived works.

It would help if the projects had some option to purchase a license or subscription, even if the application is open source. Lots of employees have a company credit card and the authorization to use it for small productivity purchases. But it would have to be a business expense that is easy to file, not a donation.
The MPAA and other organizations use screenshots that show copyrighted material as "proof" that the tools are used for copyright violation, and then DMCA them.

If you want to help pay for lawyers to fight those DMCA notices with counterclaims and lawsuits, put up or shut up; the FSF, EFF and ACLU have been noticeably disinterested in doing so.
Interesting comment copy-pasted from Reddit user felixfelix:

"For those unfamiliar with amateur radio, the card shown at 2:41 of the video is a QSL Card. These are little post cards that are normally sent through the mail to confirm that a two-way communication took place.

These normally have details about the location and construction of the radio facility. But in this case, there's a summary of the construction of the space station!

Finally, "73" (said by the guy in the video, and written on the QSL card by the astronaut) is a telegraph code for "Best Regards""
> making it trusted locally

That is precisely the problem. Most proprietary systems don't let you touch the trust store at all. Even "open" platforms like Android have been locking down the ability to do anything to the trust store.[1]

With that said, if we assume the user is only using Google Chrome and not an alternative browser, then typing "thisisunsafe" on the TLS error page should let one elide trust store modifications entirely. I cannot guarantee this is the case for HTTP/3 since the reverse proxies I deal with still use HTTP/2.

Depends on if AI (in its current form) ends up beneficial to society.

If people stop writing because AI is going to "appropriate it" anyway and the amount of creative work drops, everyone will be poorer for it.

The loom and the tractor displaced many workers but they also increase the production of whatever those workers produced.

If article writers stop writing tutorials / guides / whatever because AI will just appropriate it, will AI be able to produce original tutorials / guides / whatever for the latest stuff?
Yes. You still have to read the docs before randomly setting “auto_bootstrap” to false.

Or just use Astra and not worry about scaling your own cluster.
> So I don't use AI even though I'm fully aware it could save me hours on projects.

Enjoy this luxury while it lasts. Based on what I have seen in performance review committees for software developers, your peers who drive results faster than you do because they use AI will be rewarded more and will be more likely to survive rounds of layoffs when they inevitably happen.

OK. So. There are a few large problems. I'll highlight the basics.

Canadians are deeply in debt. Mostly mortgages.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/economy/article-hou...

Causing: house prices and rent to be unaffordable for the median income person. As a result, I have several friends who are exploring leaving the country. Especially if you have children, they will likely never be able to afford a home nearby themselves without help.

Inflation isn't stopping. It's most commonly reflected in the grocery prices.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/07/world/canada/loblaws-groc...

As a result of the above, and the fact that if the Bank of Canada did not keep the prime rate in line with the USA (we have pretty much always raised our prime rates in step with the USA) = huge cuts into the disposable income / lifestyle of Canadians. Some people say we are already in a per capita recession.

To compound this problem, as our working population ages, in order to keep our age dependency ratio healthy, we are allowing a million+ immigrants a year in. Please don't flame me, I don't have an opinion, this is a fact and a choice, and it has consequences.

Trudeau is many things, but a person who has ever needed to worry about money isn't one of them. Both Canada and Ontario (the most populous province) are deeply in debt. Alberta, who's oil wealth largely makes this country function, are making noises about separation, especially about their portion of the CPP, the Canadian Pension Plan that covers all Canadians. Alberta is kind of Canada's Texas (Conservative + oil wealthy) but they have far less influence in Federal politics than Texas does. AFAIK, I might be wrong about that.

All of these are leading towards a housing and / or financial crisis and / or currency crisis. Whichever comes first. There are tent cities and homeless in most large urban areas, and, as this is Canada, this winter will be brutal.

I know that the general opinion of Canada is that nothing ever happens, and to an extent that was largely true. I believe the next few years will be very difficult for Canadians, and, incredibly, given that Canadians use more energy per capita than the Americans, it will be a difficult transition to a lower energy use profile.
I remember using linux pipes for a shell-based irc client like 12 years ago. For most application uses, they're plenty fast enough. Kinda wish I had the source code for that still.
close enough for horseshoes, on a cosmological scale. pretty much a ringer!
Sorry for being a pain, but I’m still not seeing it. You gave an example of LOC but now have stepped back again into speaking in generalities. What structures and what complexities are you talking about? Give me examples. Tbh I have no idea what you’re talking about. ELI5.
Well I never said the article had anything to do with AI art. I have simply noticed a pattern of almost everyone agreeing that AI generated art is bad and harms real artists, while simultaneously agreeing that AI generated code is great and only helps programmers.
My post was fairly low effort though I'll give you that. It seems to have pushed a few people's buttons none the less lol.

There's another story on HN posted today about balancing money and meaning and one of the top comments is a sarcastic put-down about the AI generate image at the top of the blog post. If the author had used AI to create the web page they'd almost certainly receive similar praise as the comments on this one. Both AI's are trained on other people's work, yet you seem to think even pointing this out is unfair. Very strange imo.
Easy. I only — and I know this sounds silly — drink domestic :) I actively avoid imported olive oil for just the reasons you suggest. Last I looked, something like 50% of oil labelled “Italian EVOO” was in fact not, and a solid proportion of it wasn’t even olives. I’m not gambling with that, especially getting it shipped internationally.

California grows olives just fine, so I always use California oil. Now, is California Olive Ranch cheating some cheap import oil into their native EVOO? They could be; I’m betting not. My bet is that their own interests are best served by being straight here — one credible allegation of adulterating oil and their reputation takes a huge hit. Meanwhile, they can continue to charge lots of money for a high-quality product, which is just as it should be.
I don't know if this is tangential or not, but thank you. You've helped me progress my armchair understanding of how we might give the concept of copyright more finesse in the digital age.

The insight is that encoding content is not functionally the same as copying verbatim a work which is the original intent of the concept.

For example: if I have legally obtained a copy of e.g. https://archive.org/details/free_culture, then I am at liberty to encode it in whatever format I need to be able to feed it to a machine/tool for whatever purpose I want. I am not infringing on copyright because I legally obtained the work, and the machine is not because machines can't.

I think at least this much OpenAI has in their favor. If they can prove they legally obtained all the training material (I do think it's fair for them to be required to pay once for it) then I don't think there's any world in which it makes sense to try and allow content creators to further extract royalties from that process alone.

If a user asks an AI for a copyrighted poem, for instance, and the user goes and republishes that poem as their own, I do think it may make sense to grant the original author royalties under current law.

I really hope we can legally pick these two concepts apart and focus on each scenario independently. I see a lot of people here arguing that giving a work that you have legally obtained the rights to view to a machine model is inherently copyright infringement because you had to copy the work and yada yada is it fair use? I really think this is wrong both in the interpretation of copyright and practically as ideas can't be owned and it makes no sense to limit which ideas were used to make what commercial product etc. (we don't do that today and AI doesn't change that).
Can we stop this non-sense? China cannot subsidize industries out of thin air, especially that they came off as a poor country. What China did is they kept their wages lower to "expand" or as we say in Tech "scale". It certainly didn't pay you to get their products and that would not be possible especially at China's scale.
There are still ways for a sort function to not work properly with the comparer, even if the criterion is correct. As mentioned in the article, the comparer might have internal state that the sorter duplicates during intermediate steps, thus breaking assumptions made by the caller. The example the article gives is a comparer that increments a variable each time it's called, to count the number of comparisons. Depending on how this is done and how the sorter is implemented, copying the comparer may break this behavior.
The GUIs running on top of a Linux kernel are written in C, C++, or another programming language. That's not Linux.
You can do Search/Launcher + [action key here], for example Search/Launcher + ← triggers F1. There is also a setting on ChromeOS that makes the action keys into function keys.
I didn't know it was legal to download books from torrents that are normally only available from the author for a cost.

What about movies and tv shows? I can download them via torrents to view without paying as well, completely legally?

Nobody can ever take any legal action against me ever for doing this?

How though would the creator of the content ever get paid for it if everyone can read and view it completely free? Why would they go through all the work of creating it with no gain to themselves?
The article, and this comment, makes me wonder what impact a coordinated attack on the root time-keeping mechanisms might have. It seems like there's a fair bit of redundancy / consensus, but what systems would fail? On what timeline? How would they recover?
Ask HN: Why are all of the best back end web frameworks dynamically typed?
Ruby on Rails, Django, Node JS all have great developer experience, are highly configurable but easy to use and hit the ground running.

Spring, Gin, anything Rust, .Net, etc all are very difficult to configure properly for even the most simple SaaS products.

Why is that? Are there any good statically typed web frameworks?

Timeline:

2002 - Dish Network launches EchoStar-7 with a 10 year license from the FCC

2004 - FCC passes new Orbital Debris Mitigation rules, grandfathering existing satellites[1]

2012 - Dish Network applies for a license extension, which includes provisions according to the new rules

2020 - FCC updates debris mitigation rules[2]

2022 - Dish Network notices unexpected fuel loss, and begins moving satellite to graveyard orbit, but only makes it 122km instead of the required 300km.

2022 - FCC updates debris mitigation rules again[3]

I had remembered recent press releases about new debris mitigation rules and my first reaction when reading this story was surprise that the FCC was applying the new rules to a satellite launched over 20 years ago, but it appears that is not the case. Dish Network is being fined according to rules that were in place when they requested their license extensions, not the more recent rules.

It’s hard to tell if you “losing your mind” in this context means you would have enjoyed the talk or the opposite.
I looked it up and it looks like he said: "Just avoid holding it in that way."

It’s amazing how people have morphed this to "You're holding it wrong."
Are there cases where his causes real-world problems? Because to be honest this example seems rather artificial.
Fast writes and slow reads was true in 2012. The project has been busy since.
Yeah. I believe that's where the term "soapies" originated.

It was never 1 or 0.

There was no sentiment in my analysis. Unless you count 'bruh'.

This is a ridiculous statistic however you cut it. Multiple the homeless stat by 20 (a vast overestimate) and you STILL give every one of them a ridic house. What's going on here is unfathomably evil.

Sorry, wasn't implying that people holding live events in large venues wouldn't adjust, in fact I believe all of these middlemen are bad for the people doing the actual work. Just lamenting the fact that so much money from the live event industry is going to people that add no actual value.
In places where "loser" pays (such as the UK), rates are capped at fairly low hourly levels and hours are also capped (or at least there is a known "reasonable" number of hours for a particular type of case).

Note also that the "loser" factors in offers to settle. So if I offer you $10,000 to settle and you refuse and the court awards only $5,000 to you, you are the one that has to pay my legal bill, even though I am the one that "lost".
There is a design style called RTL (register transfer level) which works better with registers that have separate clock and enable inputs. The clock goes to all registers, but on any given cycle only a subset of those are enabled depending on the current state. Since these enables are generated from the outputs of these registers which then pass through some combinational logic, they will be stable around the rising edge of the clock.

Note that people talk about Verilog or VHDL as "RTL languages". That is not correct - these languages allow hardware designs using any style to be modeled. But sticking with RTL is strongly encouraged. A design that uses the output from one part of a circuit as a clock to another part, for example, is not RTL. This might cause problems when moving from one FPGA to another or to an ASIC.

> Uncomputable does not mean unsolvable by humans.

It absolutely means that, unless you don't believe the Church-Turing thesis and claim that humans have the ability to carry out computations that machines physically cannot.

I think you are misunderstanding the difference between having an algorithm to determine BB(n) for all n, and figuring out what BB(n) is for certain special n.
I have an interest in Linux, so making a Windows build is not something I'm interested in but I see no reason why it couldn't be done.

But you raise a good point about compatibility, everything in this container is built from source so everything is API/ABI compatible since the same toolchain is used throughout.
Maybe it's a bug in how curl checks certificates.

So a victim behind a hostile AP might be redirected to a malicious site masquerading as a known legit site and when the bad site presents a maliciously crafted bogus certificate curl doesn't notice.
I like the idea of "installing" a web app that basically creates a bookmark to a webpage, because the alternative is installing an actual app. It's nice to have things all basically browser based as it gives the developer more control of the product and creates a single reasonable platform. I hate going to linkedin or Reddit or similar websites on mobile and them forcing me to use their app. It also breaks the dominance of centralized app stores like android and apple
Google search to retrieve specific factual information is pretty good.

Google search to retrieve anything opinion related has been horrible and infested with blogspam for years (hence people searching Reddit to get that kind of info).
