Had such a weird feeling skimming through this.

Earlier this year I've spent months intuitively building a product to address some challenges I've faced in the past years while working remotely.

It took all that effort to understand, after hearing from the users, that the product was just the result of me trying to solve my own undiagnosed ADHD symptoms...
Pants 2.18.0 Is Released
Bit harsh here. It's a css tool, not a core app for a large bank. Erwin gets points from me for being in the arena trying things. Anyway, am I correct in assuming an acceptation server would have prevented his problem?
OpenAI's Assistant API can't handle multiple files
"This suggests that the CASA Theory may only work for emergent technology[..]"

I think we can see this unfold in real time with large language model based chatbots like ChatGPT. First they seem almost human and the initial reaction is to treat them like that. Always say "Thank you!" and potentially get angry at them for being wrong. It doesn't take long though, to realize that the bot is a bot and even if it speaks human language it behaves significantly different from a real human. Then the human behavior starts to change as well and the bot is treated differently.
> At one point, we wanted a command that would print a hundred random lines from a dictionary file. I thought about the problem for a few minutes, and, when thinking failed, tried Googling.

Excuse me?
It's not technically illegal but constitutes a constructive dismissal afaik, meaning you qualify for unemployment and I think if over a certain number of people are 'dismissed' it's WARN act triggering.

Not a lawyer, not particularly well informed, but this is my understanding.
Indeed. There are bugs in the history management, for example it pushes false entries like index.html# next to index.html which were not navigated to.

So if you click back/next it sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. And when it works, it doesn't show the page where you had scrolled it to (the native behavior) but scrolls you always to the top, so you lose context.

Also if you right-click a link to open it in a new tab from the menu, it opens a new tab... but at the home page, instead of the link.

I have to say... pretty bad experience start to end :(
Aaisp: Our Network
Luckily there are battery stats. On a 7840U with power-profiles-daemon installed and PCI power saving turned on (but not wifi or audio power saving, or VM writebacks, I don't feel those are worth the power savings), it draws 3W if I'm doing absolutely nothing with the screen on its dimmest setting (I mostly use the laptop in bed at night), and 5-11W while web browsing on Firefox.

It goes up to about 13W while watching youtube, even though it claims hardware accelerated video decoding is on.
Spatial division works regardless of whether the antennas self interfere; it works better when they don't. Overlapping two polarity-isolated qam signals is a good way to explain rudimentary spatial multiplexing but the current state of the art is way way beyond that, I'm pleased to say.
I hadn't heard about them before. Their product looks awesome!

From checking out their website, it seems like they've developed a more advanced way of chatting with line diffs, whereas we've built a superior PR summary system by tracing code context from various systems.
In french they even have a verb derived from this process of hanging a pheasant to develop its aroma: "faisander", which comes from "faisan", the french word for pheasant.
Great to know! We're working on extending MonkeyPatch to typescript, the work-in-progress repository can be found here https://github.com/monkeypatch/monkey-patch.ts

We will keep you posted on when it'll be ready for trying out!
For me, when Musk suddenly went far-right, and I realized that Thiel et al. kind of all shared the same philosophy (described in the article as "Libertarianism for me. Feudalism for thee"), it made me suspect that at the top of Silicon Valley it's basically a country club where they discuss what sorts of dystopian utopias they are going to try to create.
Since ChatGPT already includes internal prompts does this not exclude gpt itself?
I built a custom GPT[1]. Brief developer experience report:

* Creation process went smoothly.

* The chatbot helper was helpful, but

* it appeared to be the only way to upload a data file with metadata comments,

* leading me to question if the context of my whole chatbot assistant session was part of the resulting GPT or not and, if so, is there any way to manage that state or clear it.

* I set the custom GPT link to 'public' and gave the link out on my social media channels

* No feedback or indication whatsoever that anyone has even looked at it.

* I made a feature request via the feedback form, quickly received back a form email that was almost entirely "try plugging it in again" style troubleshooting steps.

* The existing-subscriber-only restriction is death.

* I am planning my future experiments somewhere else.

> Higher rates mean more stable or possibly even lower house prices

Sure the price of the houses has gone down, but higher interest rates mean my monthlies are higher than they were, which means I can't afford a house!
I hate to have to bring this up, but please don't advertise source available software as being open source. You have a cool product and making the source available is a good thing, you don't need to lie about the extent to which you're opening it up.
GPTs are a prompt, knowledge base (files) and external function calls. There's no dynamic system prompt.

Edit - this is a simple fact, try making one yourself.
You could do this all with splitters, don’t need the boxes and filter inserters. Nice explanation!
Senators demand documents from Meta on social media harm to children
> Far right white supremacism; libertarianism for white men, forced birth for white women. Eugenics for everyone else.

Well now I can’t take this seriously. This assertion is laughably loaded and biased. I’m pro choice and I can admit has the radical left not pushed for expanded abortion, Roe v Wade might still be in place. And eugenics? lol lol lol
A Theory of Compositional Tool-Assisted Speedrunning
You haven't? The culture gets "exported" quite far from SV as well, it's not limited geographically.
This time AMD for sure will fight with NV (its only failed 20 times already copium)
Does the pressure to click on the trackpad feel 'even' across the entire trackpad? For example, does clicking at the top feel the same as the bottom? That's something I never got used to on my ThinkPad, clicking on the top is basically impossible.
I'm quite interested in your consumer spending data. Are you able to share what the underlying source/partner is?
What happens to apps that are IoT/Bluetooth-only requiring hardware? Is demo mode enough?

Will there be detailed documentation other than a blogpost?
But if information can only travel at the speed of light shouldn’t we consider the events being observed way out there as “now”? For all intents and purposes information couldn’t have gotten here any sooner so it might as well be “now”.
I'm looking forward to "The 2038 Problem"
IMO not close (I spend the majority of the day on my work macbook). It's especially apparent when scrolling or moving the pointer small amounts, and especially near the edges of the trackpad, where you need to make bigger movements for it to work.

Your mileage may vary as people have different sized fingers and such.

It's a far cry even from my old Google Pixelbook, which is a (distant) second best touchpad I've used.
> In other words: if law enforcement doesn't have sufficient time to complete warrant paperwork and get a judge to sign off on one in advance, it's business as usual.

That's not even what the previous paragraph said. They don't need a warrant if there is imminent danger to life, not if they just don't have time to get one. The latter implies they could use it for anything they wanted as long as they made an argument that time was of the essence, which seems like a fairly low bar to clear.
This is not a very interesting form of obfuscation, replacing each primitive of a straightforward program by some very convoluted code that evaluates to that primitive. Resulting in a huge program doing a simple thing. This kind of obfuscation can be easily automated, but so can the corresponding unobfuscation.

A more impressive form of obfuscation can be seen in the International Obfuscated C Code contest, where the straightforward program is replaced by a much shorter one that performs many ingenious tricks to achieve the same goal with a minimum of code. For example, a prime number sieve written as

import sys
def c(j,t):
sys.stdout.write(j('.')('P'))
return t
(lambda z:lambda y:z(z(y(lambda p:lambda n:(lambda s:lambda z:z(lambda x:
lambda y:y)(lambda d:p(s)(y(s))(d)))(lambda x:lambda a:lambda s:lambda p:
p(a)(lambda y:s(n(x))(y))))(lambda c:lambda a:lambda s:z(lambda y:s(c)(y)
))))(y(lambda p:lambda b:lambda t:t(c(b,p)))))(lambda s:lambda p:p(lambda
x:lambda y:x)(s))(lambda f:(lambda q:q(q))(lambda x:f(lambda y:x(x)(y))))

which is a Python rendition of the lambda calculus expression λ (λ 1 (1 ((λ 1 1) (λ λ λ 1 (λ λ 1) ((λ 4 4 1 ((λ 1 1) (λ 2 (1 1)))) (λ λ λ λ 1 3 (2 (6 4))))) (λ λ λ 4 (1 3))))) (λ λ 1 (λ λ 2) 2).

That kind of obfuscation takes great human effort both to achieve and to unravel.

Why? Inferentia => inference, trainium => training. Given the usually naming of AWS product, having one where the name roughly matches what it does is pretty good?

TPU is pretty good but is associated with Google. MTIA is an acronym but still maps to what the chip does. ~~"Cobalt" is worse as it does not mean anything~~ . Cobalt is the CPU chip, MAIA is the accelerator so this matches Meta's naming.
^ Great to see the prompt.

Also thank you for publishing your AutoExpert GPTs they have been really useful.
In that case, people would constantly be changing their work start time throughout the year, perhaps monthly, but if they really wanted to be pedantic about it, by a minute or so each day.

That seems... silly? DST shifts seem worse for our health than just working our regular hours without time changes.
From my time in the dying days of Usenet, I can remember there were compact codes so you could fit as much about yourself into your signature as possible. Something like the old dating ad codes, e.g. GSoH = Good Sense of Humour, but more geeky.
> Microsoft was stopped from playing favorite with its own Internet Explorer.

And how's that working out?

Samsung doesn't have a monopoly with its Android devices, and doesn't stop alternative apps from being installed.

Stopping device makers from installing whatever the hell they want, on the devices they produce, is nuts.
> Nothing against Teslas, but the issue is that reality is far from the vision proposed by proponents of EVs including governments and entrepreneurs. EVs are not reliable for long journeys.

The person you replied to gave you a counter example which you ignore for ... reasons? All of the five issues you cite are basically non-existent for superchargers. As another anecdote, I have made multiple 1000+mile trips using the Supercharger network with zero problems. The experience mirrors that of pretty much every other Tesla owner that I know.

Also, what vendor lock in? I can charge my car at any J1772 or CCS charger (if I wanted to), or at home from a 110V or 220V outlet. Tesla's charging system uses the CCS signalling standard, which is part of the reason other manufacturers are now going to use it as well.
That make perfect sense.

If coding is really interesting to you, hyperfocus make you spend more time doing it.

Getting into the zone is probably hyperfocus kicking in.
You can lock me in a room for 24 hours with nothing but a math textbook, but I'd probably still do nothing even at the height of boredom. I'd probably just space out and start daydreaming. I'm sure this is the case for others as well.

There was no good faith in that comment, it's completely uninformed and inciteful. And I get downvoted? lol, gotta love the HN comment police, no better than reddit mods.
I'd also like to see police and prison officer's unions eliminated. They frequently work to keep people in jobs when they really need to be removed from their position, and given the huge amount of power officers have over vulnerable people, that's very much not in our collective best interest.

We need to police the police much more strictly.
Waiting to be assimilated by the big guys
Except if you don't include time zone info with your timestamps, even with UTC, some system will inevitably interpret it as local time.
How is that not what we're already doing? Almost everyone with a v6 stack still has the exact same v4 address they had before, using the exact same routing as v4. Old DNS entries are still valid, NAT's still common.

The only difference seems to be that some people are already making use of the bigger address space, rather than waiting. And that's surely a good thing? If you told everybody to wait until absolutely everything supported it, you'd be waiting forever, and you'd be giving up the benefits of having a larger address space available the entire time... and you don't have a way to force people to wait anyway, so that idea wouldn't even implementable in the first place.
FWIW, the current king of single core Geekbench is the M3 chips. Even the base M3 scores as high as the i9-14900K and higher than the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, at less than half their TDPs.
For all the COVID vaccine truthers that will comment on this story without reading it:

I don’t like UTC because I don’t like doing -8 in my head. In Arizona time I can read raw logs easily.
I really love the idea of "View source" for base prompts.

If we simply treat the prompts as frontend / client-side (one could even argue that it can be harder to get the original code from a JS bundle than extract a prompt using prompt injection), then function calling (the backend API) could be where folks add additional value, and if reasonable, charge for it.

As long as you can audit the function calls and see what's sent and received, same as you can do with a browser, then I think it becomes closer to a familiar and well-tested model.
Same here - most of my personal site has been stuck in Google's "Discovered - currently not indexed" limbo for nearly 2 years, despite regularly submitting pages for indexing, and doing all the usual things like optimising Lighthouse score and so on. I went on the Google Search support forums and it was quite sad - just vast numbers of people crying into the void. It is almost like Google have given up on search.

If they actually wanted to improve it, the key would be to move away from the advertising funded model - as Larry Page and Sergey Brin warned in 1998 "advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers"[0]. Personally I think they could at least pay running costs with a paid support model - it might not earn as much money as advertising, but as a gateway to the internet and other Google services it could still be very valuable to both Google and their users.

This. If I own it, then I can do anything I like to it. If I can't do anything I like to it, I don't own it.
I fail to see any inconsistency between the two. One of the most often repeated cliches regarding China is "don't listen to what they say, watch what they do." Let's assume, hypothetically, that we genuinely (and not as a matter of political rhetoric) believe that everything China says is a lie. This skepticism towards their words simply doesn't logically extend to their actions — especially when those actions (i.e. how they responded to their own Covid situation) were in their own self-interest and could be independently verified. This is just a logical observation: Unless you believe that China intentionally responded to Covid in self-destructive ways in the hopes that US might copy their responses, there's simply no inconsistency between the "official stance" you linked to and what you referred to as the subsequent "mimicking".
Actually the support for Android 5 just ended: https://www.sammobile.com/news/whatsapp-stop-working-some-ga...

But WhatsApp maybe was bad example. Banking applications are bigger pain, since they even force users to mobile over web page these days.

Which does not actually matter, since you have usually the possibility to update to the latest version.
Weird (very local in particular) stuff still happens and tropical weather tracks, for example, can still be pretty unpredictable. But, living in Massachusetts, I still remember how the Blizzard of '78 basically caught everyone by total surprise and left hundreds/thousands(?) of people stranded at work and on highways. Never say never, but it's pretty unlikely you'd see that level of surprise today.

(A friend of mine who moved to the Boston area about ten years after the event once told me that she had never seen a northern city in which so many people headed home from work if they saw so much as a snowflake.)
> Google phones having unlocked bootloaders is besides the point. Google phones aren't being discussed here, Samsung are.

It's not beside the point when your initial claim was that Google was the reason for locked Samsung bootloaders. But if that were the case, why would their own phones be unlocked?

They also don't think about what happens to these people when they are eventually released.
That is absolutely not the case, the panels are not significantly more expensive when matched for quality.
I saw somewhere recently that if the files are small enough they actually just get appended to the prompt. For larger files there is RAG with chunks that are embedded. They will be adding more fine-grained control over the chunking and RAG configuration in the near future.
> When is it ever advantageous to reject truths?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy

I.e. It becomes problematic when it involves human behavior at a stereotypical level. This isn't to say that stereotypes don't sometimes exist for preexisting (non-self-fulfilling) reasons, but even some people prone to sociopathy can leave good lives if properly treated.
At this point we're basically just fighting for the right to own property. The right to own the things we've paid for has been taken from us by companies that want to retain control of our devices after they sell them to us.

It should be illegal to lock us out of our own possessions. It should be illegal to get us to buy something by advertising a feature and then remove it or paywall it off after the sale. It should be illegal to remote into our property and delete our data. The US is in dire need of a lot of consumer protection laws, but the right to own what we pay for is so basic that it's frightening how quickly it's been being taken from us.
Does this apply at Amazon? I have several friends who moved away during covid and most of them were explicitly told that the remote work was a temporary covid thing, but it kept getting extended as the pandemic continued. Moving away was a gambit that this would last forever. This worked for some, and didn’t go so well for others.
