If you are an expert (or very good) with your tools, these AI products can save tons of time.

Due to hallucinations, beginners can get knee deep very quickly, but experts can see through this and use these tools will skill.

I don't write as much code as I used to, but I still write code daily and appreciate how they can turn what was a 10-60 minute task into 1 minute of prompting plus 30 seconds of generation/reading to make sure it is valid.
Did they? I'm surprised to hear that. Hard to tell for autocomplete of course. For conversational answers, inference speed is _far_ higher than I'm used to from GPT-4, and lower quality. As in, it matches GPT 3.5/ChatGPT.
Wow, I literally did a full cluster version upgrade last night without knowing about this. I would have delayed the upgrade if I had known GKE was failing for "a small number of customers"

I wish cloud providers would just communicate outages to services I use like this to me!
I'm not trying to be harsh, but it genuinely sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about
How do I detach myself from my job?
The fact is working in corporate you lick some asses, lick some boots and what not. Some people try to demean you, make fun of you and what not. It would not matter if colleagues are some people. But when your clients are "some people", it feels so bad. The thing is like you exist because of your clients kinda scenarios. Let's be honest about that. We are from Nepal and we've not made any special software that nobody has made or can make. The software is full of negative reviews and it honestly makes the point stronger that we exist because of our clients lol.

How do I deal with this? How do I never feel anything personal about whatever my clients say or do to me? Thankfully, we don't meet in person. We only contact in whatsapp/slack/email. But fck, even a redditor can eat your day by trolling and saying something negative, imagine a real client.
you don't need enterprise grade tools just to host a simple website. however, if your simple site ever gains enough attraction to come under an attack, especially like this, you'll never survive. you can either just accept that your service will not survive the attack and just shut it down until the attackers realize mission accomplished and stops. you can then hope they don't notice when you bring it back. no simple site will be able to afford what's required to stay up from these attacks.

i'm not saying i like having to put the majority behind the services of 2 or 3 companies, but if you ever get shut down from some DDOS, you'll understand why people think they need to.
For me it regularly happens with Chrome on Fedora/GNOME/X.Org.
I'd be happy to pay for such a service if the stories were written by a human, but once I learned the stories are AI generated, I bounced. Even if they're edited by a native speaker, something about that feels off. I want to learn from other humans, not from a language model.
I have a small cloud based Ai image processing service running that's still running (we did it before it was cool). The processing is currently done locally on a computer in my partners closet, but scaling it to that point, whilst ensuring it runs smoothly for multiple users with reasonable processing times was no joke.
The idea clearly needs some work.

But, a slight defense of it—the really big providers can already sink a massive DDoS anyway. So, this is just a scheme to help little websites. It doesn’t really matter if a school, or even a cellphone network, can’t access my little website for an afternoon.

You’d have to decide if you want to send the block request. If you are hosting your personal blog, you’ll probably go for it regardless. If you are providing a small service; hosting git for a couple friends or whatever, you’ll probably block with some discretion.
> Piracy killed the profits in record sales and created a bimodal distribution for musicians wherein you're either Taylor Swift or the equivalent, or a struggling indie.

Let's not pretend that record labels weren't massively warping the playing field for decades before the internet took off; or that piracy hasn't helped indie artists get discovered / blow up. There are studies on this, and the ones that weren't sponsored by record labels are pretty consistent in showing your statement to be false.
Meanwhile several different HTTP/2 implementations are dropping fixes for this today.
I'm learning Japanese and something like this would be beneficial.

> You should be able to tap on a word and get a translation.

This functionality is available already on Kindle though :) you have the option of uploading your own dictionaries to it too.

That, combined with using https://www.clippings.io/ to manage highlighted text, makes the kindle an all round great tool for learning languages from books, or any text really. (you can use calibre to convert into and between most ebook formats)

I look forward to seeing where this goes! I imagine the really difficulty will be applying it to more than just German. Especially when you branch outside of indoeuropean languages
Isn't dbus a pretty heavy dependency to bring in to a project?
They haven't detected an explosion. There are other ways to break a pipeline.
Arvind Krishna seems like a pretty cool guy though, and definitely has engineering background.

It's interesting that everybody focuses on Red Hat after acquisition but no one ever asks how IBM is doing now. Maybe it's delusional to think that Red Hat could change something of its new overlord, but perhaps the acquisition was already showing the desire to change IBM from within?
Hopefully won't be the case for Threadripper which allegedly is due on the 19th
The business cycle in general is an unsolved problem, and I think enough companies were investing during COVID to meet the shortages that they over-invested for the demand impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war and its effect on Western inflation.
Yes, we do absolutely need to put things in space and have computers, because it is the way to progress and see what's next possible in this setting, and then decide what to do while having even more opportunities and options.

If we are not doing that we are not sentient species but a kind of animal that happens to speak and use some rudimentary tools.
Great question! At the moment it is 30 days. We've had a few requests to make that configurable, but the reality is that the most costly part is to lay it out in an optimized way in the first place which happens very early on in the ingestion path, and from there on it's only object storage cost, so if there is customer demand we can increase this.
Interesting, what are the diference with learning with text ? https://learning-with-texts.sourceforge.io/
I'm not sure what your point is. Are you peeved because I left out some details?

You can read the thread I linked. Riju.codes is no more similar to Repl.it than any of the other hundreds of online multi-language REPLs. The argument that the Masad made (that Radon copied internal secrets from repl.it) were unfounded, and the numerous attempts from Radon to ask for clarification yielded silence from Masad.
I think the problem is that they aren’t mind-blowing, but an improvement.

I resent some LLM implementations on principle, but decided to give these code helpers a try. What I found was they’re reasonably bad, and I kept telling them the solution doesn’t work, only to be presented with a little tweak.

So I don’t see the point of outsourcing my thinking, I’d rather remain intelligent and do the search/try/tweak on my own, instead of pretending a half-assed LLM is genius.

That doesn’t mean they don’t have good use cases, or aren’t an improvement on previous tech. But we definitely should stop calling them mind-blowing. Jaron Lanier had long ago predicted we’d willingly downplay human intelligence to pretend AI was… I.
Oh I completely agree that's what they should be doing. But support wants you to put your router as an access point behind a sonos speaker, meaning the sonos speaker has to be capable of handing all your internet traffic as well as play music.

Really a stupid design choice.
Why don't your designers use the product?
I was assuming here that they need to create a build instruction, box etc. and ship all these out for only 600 sets instead of millions like normal sets.

Of course I have zero insight into LEGO's operational processes and logistics. Which is why I took numbers that would make LEGO look more generous than they probably are: low profit margin, high cost per MRI set.
Not into this terminal operated by Gasgrid.

Different company, called Gasum has "take or pay type" type LNG contract with Russian Gasprom. Gasum must buy a certain amount of LNG from Russia every year. They are contractually obligated to pay for the gas even of they don't take it.

Neither Natural gas nor LNG are subject to EU sanctions. Sanctions would be legal cause to end the contract.
I tried this new dubbing tool on a video I made a few months ago. Here’s the original, in which I speak English:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JUepj7wIl0

And here are the first two and a half minutes with me dubbed into Japanese:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z85FXwH6pUU

Aside from some pacing problems, the voice and intonation sound quite good to me. But anyone listening to the translation alone would find it hard to follow, as the tool seems to have mistranscribed some of my English and mistranslated some of the rest. (I also speak Japanese fluently.)

The translation would probably be a lot better if I had spoken English more slowly and with awareness that what I said would be interpreted into another language.
To model this, start by considering an abstract price vs demand curve - as price goes down demand goes up. Since we are looking at a digital good, supply is effectively unlimited (actually the marginal cost of offering a file for download which is zero until you’re too big for “free” options like google drive or imgur etc). So if we offer our digital good at the low low price of 0£, everyone who is interested in our product will “buy” it (ignoring discoverability and marketing, this happens with technical books all the time). However, if you raise the price to £5, some percentage of those who are interested will no longer be willing to buy. Perhaps money is tight and that’s their lunch, that means the opportunity cost of buying the digital good is lunch. Those people are never going to buy, at practically any price, so piracy is the only way to reach that segment of the market. The question is how big that segment is and whether there exists some price point that will get them to buy while continuing to provide incentive for you to offer the good.

There is also an interesting sidebar on the overhead of doing a transaction for any non-zero amount vs giving something away for free. The gist is that if you could do a (micro)transaction for $0.01 cheaply enough, you would be able to capture more of that market by lowering your overhead for offering the good.

This is also related to the idea that the optimal amount of fraud is not zero [1].

Nearly every high income country with single payer healthcare and heavily unionized medical workforces has better health outcomes and spends less for them than the United States.

The American exceptionalism on display in this article is embarrassing. The WSJ editorial page once again distills the "common sense" of small and medium size businesspeople who cannot think beyond their own balance sheet.

Which is a bigger problem for U.S. healthcare: a unionized nurse demanding better patient/nurse ratios or insurance companies that return huge profits to shareholders while second-guessing the treatment recommendations of doctors?

Prompting allows you to direct the model into a different way than the training data. If it were not so, LLMs would never solve problems that were not explicitly in their training set.
Rapid Reset is the name given to the technique behind the attack. The cause is a flaw in HTTP/2 stream multiplexing that enables this technique.
When I was growing up, my family was too poor to afford any kind of computer. Finally, I built a computer from scrap parts but I could not run it because we could not afford electricity to run it.

For many years the only way I could program was pen and paper, and a bit later a Citizen SRP-175 programmable calculator with mind-blowing memory to run 128 instructions. I would go to a library, borrow a bunch of books some of which were programming, and knock myself out writing programs on paper that I could only ever "execute" in my mind.

If you have an old computer, there probably is a child who would give an arm and a leg to have a chance to have fun with it.
>All the crying about piracy is greed: nothing more, nothing less.

I always assumed it was about control, given how media companies constantly attempt to provide alternative methods of distributing media, though only within their very narrow definitions, and how they fight so hard against anything that breaks their control. CSS, Sony's CD root kit, HDCP, etc etc etc
Sucks that there isn’t anything simpler than k8s that’s production grade.

Yes I thin the shuffling around of chapters is the most useful thing about Scrivener.

I'd wish for an Obsidian plugin that stores the chapter order in a file and displays chapter in that order instead of alphabetically.

I'll follow your tip to Googling “long form writing with Obsidian”
My comment was not meant as an argument with the last sentence as its conclusion. Sorry for the (obvious) lack of clarity on my part.

Rather, the statement about the Exodus was meant to expand on the "who came to dominate the region": It was meant to convey that they did not come to dominate through systematic genocide of the other Canaanites as depicted in the bible. It is my understand that there is little to no evidence of this event (or the preceding events) having occurred.

The overall understanding that I was trying to communicate was simply that the ancient Isrealites were Canaanites who stayed in Canaan.
It's not about the number of rotations at all. I doubt that you can control it at all even after dozens of hours coin flipping (I did more than 20h and I can't eveb guess how many rotations the coin made) Diaconis, Holmes, and Montgomery (2007) proposed a physical model of coin flipping that introduces the bias as a result of wobblines (i.e., off-axis rotation in the flips).

They do publish an RSS feed for the status page, but there is no direct way to get notified AFAIK. I used to create a Slack notifier using IFTTT.
Does the previous version no longer run? Can it not still be installed?
I do agree that lack of risk-taking and sameness are affecting the music and movie industries. But it’s entirely possible movies “feel” worse because… there’s more of them. Maybe Sturgeon's law is at work, and the more movies we make, the more shit we get.
sorry what mitigation is that?
> Wow, I'm glad we've got you here to point out that the startup model doesn't work!

You asked why there is so much criticism to them taking so much investor money and I tried to explain. I don't understand why you react snarky.

I would also argue many comments are not anti-commercial but anti greed.
You can modify this one to do that - or write your own using the same approach:

This was my exact experience. Download Suica app, figure out that the 3rd option is "register without id/account", put 1000 yen in and go. Top off anytime with Apple Pay. Never had to fiddle with cash at the train station. Honestly one of the most convenient things about Japan.

Sure, but what if it's urgent but only a little important.
All the luxury and comfortable stuff we buy in life is basically just to help cope with life until our eventual death.
If it’s a generalized thinking system, if it understands then production/non production is a meaningless difference.

I dont see how that is an argument.

You see intelligence, so I would urge you to build something that relies on that feature.

My philosophy was that the fastest way to figure out the limits of a tool are to push it. Limits describe the tool.

The data I have is on the limits of the tool. As a result its clear that there is no “intelligence”.
Hope you plan ahead for a house fire with a 3-2-1 approach for backups. Maintaining an always on off-site storage is expensive unless you resort to cloud solutions like OneDrive or Dropbox, but then you go back to the problem of having your passwords on the cloud, even if encrypted.

Not using cloud is just very expensive and time consuming for the average user.
Such raids will also happen annually. Why not? They led to large chunk of most fertile lands of Eurasia[1] ( not having any permanent population way into the second millenium. They absolutely treat peasants as a resource and they will over-hunt it.

If you live under the defense of forest, you can still settle there and lose 1-3% of population every decade or so because you're good at hiding. If you are trying to live in the steppe, you will be over-raided and scattered.

Proliferation of low cost computing is the cause of this, not big players being able to mitigate this.

This is not coming from "known botnet IPs", this is from random infected devices. Some aren't even permanently doing this, just one request from a device per day - it already large enough to cause issues.
Performance and debugging simple, and compile time safety is Javas core domain. I think you're over focusing on proxying or enhancement of beans, but if you look at a documentation for a reasonable amount of time there's really nothing to it.
Show HN: "Search or Submit" HN Bookmarklet

I don't think it's true that 0 actions are being taken. When new vectors for amplification attacks are found, they get patched - you can't do NTP amplification attacks on modern NTP servers anymore, for example. But it takes a long time for the entire world to upgrade and just a handful of open vulnerable servers to launch attacks. And in the meantime people are always looking for new amplification vectors.

> The solution is to finally hold accountable attack origins (ISPs, mostly), so that monitoring their egress becomes something they have an incentive to do.

Be careful what you wish for. The sort of centralized C&C infrastructure and "list of bad actors everybody has to de-peer" that you would need to this effectively would we a wonderful juicy target for governments to go, "hey, add [this site we don't like] to the list, or go to prison".
That's what I expected Copilot 2.0 to be, what a bummer.

I was talking about games, and what Sony did back then definitely wouldn't fly today.
yes, it's not the ultimate solution but if your machine behaves in 98% of cases snappy and does not slow down vs. let's say only 70% of cases then that's a huge usability difference. Sometimes you just need a little headroom on top and not more. As some user point out it really depends on the workload and data etc. Browsers are a good example because in my experience browser cache can be compressed quite good.

>Who sells certified ECC systems with AMD at similar prices?

I don't think you can blame AMD for the OEMs choices. Lenovo does compete in a way. You have to buy a GPU on their Threadripper workstations because of no iGPU for the computer to fall back on like the Dell's Intel iGPU. Also your Dell comes with 1 non-ECC 8GB DIMM standard, you have to pay $247 to upgrade to an ECC DIMM. Lenovos Threadrippers come with the ECC standard and can even run registered DIMMs.

But yeah it is a $2500k Threadripper workstation with no GPU compared to a $1300 I5 workstation with no GPU.

If you want to build an ECC AMD system some manufacturers want your money:

Frankly "shopping" OEM sites makes me crazy and it's why I build my own.
How do you offer a 99,99% SLA when OpenAI does not publish an SLA afaik?
This was interesting to me but mostly because of a question I thought it was going to focus on, which is how should we interpret these tests when a human takes it?

I wasn't sure that the phenomena they discussed was as relevant to the question of whether AI is overhyped as they made it out to be, but I did think a lot of questions about the meaning of the performances were important.

What's interesting to me is you could flip this all on its head and, instead of asking "what can we infer about the machine processes these test scores are measuring?", we could ask "what does this imply about the human processes these test scores are measuring?"

A lot of these test are well-validated but overinterpreted I think, and leaned on too heavily to make inferences about people. If a machine can pass a test, for instance, what does it say about the test as used in people? Should we be putting as much weight on them as we do?

I'm not arguing these tests are useless or something, just that maybe we read into them too much to begin with.
I stand corrected, and I’ll rephrase it as “it used to be that every now and then Apple released a version of macOS with notable fixes and small improvements.”

I’m not downplaying how much work is going into crazy features that millions probably like. But I make software, and I’m tired of how macOS is now marginally less annoying than trying to maintain an Arch Linux setup.
Yeah you have hit the nail on the head here. A lot was predictable with seeing that GPT-2 could reasonably stay within language and generate early coherent structures, that coming at the same time as instructions with the T5 stuff and the widespread use of embeddings from BERT told us this direction was likely, it's just for many people this came to awareness in 2021/22 rather than the 2018-2020 ramp up the field/hobbyists experienced.
Well, it requires almost an order of magnitude more energy to serve HTTP/3 than HTTP/1, so maybe?

Why do I say this? Because it breaks nearly every optimization that's been made to serve content efficiently over the last 25 years (sendfile, TSO, kTLS, etc), and requires that the server's CPU touch every byte of data multiple times (rather than never, for http/1). Its basically the "what if I do everything wrong" case in my talk here: https://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/talks/euro2022.pdf

Given enough time, it may yet get close to HTTP/1. But its still early days.
Ah yes I understand
