I mean these people seem to be worth their salaries if they can accomplish so much with just 50 HC.
On the one hand, it would be nice to be able to handle clients connections directly, for a lot of special use cases or performance-sensitive situations.

On the other hand, I don't know if it makes sense to have to expose all those security or rate-limiting settings for every application. Every app would have its own way to set supported ciphers, rate limits, request duration and size limits, revocation lists, etc.
I think the people who support Worldcoin do so either on the basis of it being another shitcoin they can make money speculating with, or because they're in Sam's personality cult.
Just a friendly note to the editors to mention that the game title is YOYOZO, all caps. The reason is aesthetics: it visually echoes the audible repetition you get when saying the word. A single capital Y and lowercase rest of the word ...just doesn't hit the same way.

Fun fact: YOYOZO is a word I invented, a portmanteau of the words yo-yo (as in the toy) and yozora (a Japanese word meaning "night sky"). So new I got the hash tag all to myself on social media. Almost a Googlewhack!? Cheers!
At my current job, they claim to support both Linux and Mac, but literally everyone else was on Mac, and they shipped me a Mac laptop before even asking my preference.

I should have insisted on Linux instead. 3 years in, and I still cannot stand macos.
We do use similar flow in Surfer AI and confirm it actually works wonders.
It's one reason I play JRPGs as you get to enjoy a few characters.

As a sometimes DM I hate the "character development" of D&D (players who just can't stand that things don't go that way) and that's why I like to run games like Toon which are light hearted or games that are brutal like Call of Cthulhu and Paranoia.
Apple doesn't care about the Mac

In a Herzberg sense...

For office tools and videoconference: primary OS is a hygiene factor

For software/hardware development: primary OS is not a factor (VMs feature heavily)
But the profit-aligned corporations are made of people, as you say, and once the leaders are personally affected by the „deterioration of the ecology necessary for human life to persist“, they will seriously try to stop it. That, I guess, is the difference to how AI would behave by default. (And in the thought experiment that you quote, unlimited capabilities are assumed, so the deterioration can be stopped.)
Sounds like a great opportunity to sell a physical cover that doubles as an iPad holder.
Nope. My tools work on all three platforms. They all suck pretty hard these days, just in different ways, so what's the difference, really?
That's the conclusion I also arrived at. The type system is slowly getting there, but many operations like this one are still not possible.

It's a shame, because it makes features like decorators significantly harder to use with static typing.
I'd call that function: polymorphic over tuple length.
> It's a spectrum. We've all got a lil bit of that going on.

I apologize for the specificity of the nit I'm about to pick, but the "spectrum" part of Autism Spectrum Disorder does not mean that every person is on it! ASD has very specific diagnostic criteria (https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/hcp-dsm.html) according to which an individual is either diagnosed with ASD or not.
If you wanted to wear a foil hat, you might think this internal fighting was started from someone connected to TPTB subverting the rest of the board to gain a board seat, and thus more power and influence, over AGI.

The hush-hush nature of the board providing zero explanation for why sama was fired (and what started it) certainly doesn't pass the smell test.
My immediate thought. Relatively few have been in management here, perhaps.
I briefly tried windmill for a project that involved creating custom workflows on-demand from a configuration file. I can't recommend windmill for data pipelines, it is meant to be more of a low-code internal app platform like retool or budibase. It is meant for a relatively static workflow that requires human intervention, like a simple business process involving some API calls and humans approvals in the loop. For complex (and potentially reconfigurable) data pipelines, dragster is a much better choice
> Much of these problems with Google today stem from a lack of visionary leadership from Sundar Pichai, and his clear lack of interest in maintaining the cultural norms of early Google

These are the Balmer years. Or as we'll start saying in a few years: The Sundar years.
I meant cloud service providers offering both IaaS and PaaS. I believe Scaleway fits that but still it is far from dominating in the EU.
One of the earliest interviews I had was at this <5 employee company, not a startup, more like a niche dev shop.

When I asked about what tools they use they said "We do our work on <a JetBrains IDE> using Windows, but we deploy to Linux. I asked if it would be okay if I used Linux, they said we all us Windows unless there is a compelling reason.

I thought to myself, hmm you deploy to Linux, but you don't want anyone using it for development... but I didn't really press any further or make much of it at that point in the interview.

But never did get an job offer from them. Worked out for all parties involved I suppose.

But at this point, I'd ask what tools they use and if they enforce any tools or things like that during the interview, as part of my standard set of questions.
F'90 lacked allocatable derived type components, but was otherwise very well thought out, and its major contributions (modules, free form, internal procedures, generic interfaces, ELEMENTAL, array syntax, POINTER/TARGET...) have held up well. Kind of a mixed bag since then, frankly (FORALL, LEN type parameters, FINAL, ENUM, DO CONCURRENT...)
> i also like algorithms but i decided it was not for kids

Yeah, I’ve only ever heard negative things about video suggestions for kids. I guess the key search term for those who don’t know is “Elsagate”. Normal looking videos that draw in kids with popular characters and then suddenly they are doing bloody surgery on each other or whatever. I don’t even know if there’s negative intent on the part of the creators or if it’s just algo-profit drive led to this.
I would much prefer being an early bird than being up late.

I’ll see if I can do a similar change like you did.
I’ve learned that the body loves routine so I’ll start set an alarm at 10 AM everyday so my body get used to it, then slowly decrease the time to 6 AM.
It says it plays "The best videos from the channel". How is that decided without algorithms? I'm not challenging you I'm just curious. This seems like a great thing, like the copy says "Now there's easily something to watch during dinner" I just don't understand if it's just most recent videos or what.
Yes, windmill would likely be a great fit for that as long as you're willing to do a little bit of coding.

For instance, we do not have a calendar integration per se but can manage your oauth tokens towards any service (including gcalendar) and allow you to write code using their official sdks.

For spreadsheets, you can build a similar interface in windmill using aggrid.

It seems you also need approval steps and have your workflows wait for events, and that's built-in in our workflows.
So in your opinion being for profit is bad?

Interesting.

Specifically on OAI there were several threads here before discussing how much money it was loosing and if they might not make it.
No way am I working on Windows.
> played by an actor
Nice nuanced opinion I guess.

Show HN: React Server Components without a framework – Demo
I tried to migrate an existing React SPA to RSC without a framework, and made a demo / playground about it.

This demo includes:
- an unorthodox RSC "SSR" implementation with Fastify, inspired from common React / Redux SSR technique of inlining serialized state in the HTML document.
- RSC data-fetching from server components, consumed in other components, either server or client ones, with <Suspense />.
- Client-side routing using the a-route library.
- Refreshing an RSC tree from the client.
- Usage of some react-server-dom-webpack undocumented APIs & other React Canary / Experimental APIs such as use().

The code of this demo is available at https://github.com/ziir/rsc-demo and there's a longer form blog post available for anyone who's interested https://timtech.blog/posts/react-server-components-rsc-no-fr...

Feedback is welcome ! :)
>All three models feature 10 platters

This is insane, yet it works. Reading the comments brings another gem:

"Say, for whatever reason, power is cut off during the write process on a large data batch. The System-on-a-Chip (SoC) of an OptiNAND drive — in under a second — will use the rotational power generated by the already spinning disks inside the drive to power internal capacitors until any cached data transfers to non-volatile NAND. Previously, without an iNAND component, that data would potentially be lost."
5, 10, 20 years from now, an unproven startup that doesn't manage to find product-market will equally be gone and unavailable to customers. Why does, eg Monday.com not get the same "oh no, what if they shut down" scaries that stops people from using their product the way, say, Google keep does? Fair or not, it's some quirk of human psychology that unfortunately Google has tapped into.
"Slut" and "whore" describe behaviour, so I'd say that's rather different. I don't know about "tart" – I can't recall ever using or encountering it, except for one film (where a guy calls guy bloke a "tart").

Look, I don't want to tell you how to perceive words because that's always a personal thing, but in huge parts of the world it's just a strong but generic insult. And in the end context and intent always matters, not words. "You dirty person of colour" is of course profoundly racists in spite of not using any racial epitaphs. It's not the words themselves that are problematic, it's the intent with which they're used. It seems pretty clear the intent of my comment was not sexist.
It's not a dealbreaker. I'm forced to use Windows in my current position and I accepted it knowing that would be the case.

It is, however, a significant item in the "minus" column when I'm evaluating whether or not I'll accept a position.
Coding for GPU is more than language support. I'm currently rewriting a CFD engine that is implemented in Fortran with computer shaders and there are several cases where the logic of the code has to be rebuilt from scratch to fit the GPU model.

Also, I understand the only Fortran compiler that supports GPU is the one from nvidia which is proprietary. I prefer to rely on open source for a code base that will last at least ten years...

But reading this HN's thread, I understand that Fortran is more alive than I thought. How many new developments are done with Fortran ? I mean, to me, Fortran is a bit like Cobol: it is so entrenched that, obviously, it still have a lot of activity but the momentum is moving towards more modern languages... But, well, that's all guesses an impressions...
Last I checked loaded M1 Airs were going for $600 on FleaBay.

I was all set to upgrade to an M3 Pro until I saw the weird SKU binning for the higher memory models and remembered that my M1 Air still does everything that I need it to do and more. I originally bought it strictly for music production but have since used it more generally as I have to use Apple machines for work... I'll probably end up keeping it for another two years and swinging back to a nice Thinkpad with Mint or similar as my dev machine as there are insane deals on 7840-based Lenovos right now.
For me? No.

I work somewhere with thin clients which log in to one OS, which is an OS I do not develop for. I end up remoting in from that OS to another one. It’s a bit clumsy. On some occasions I’ve been unable to do a thing easily and my manager has been receptive to “I can’t do this thing so I will either have to not do it or find a slower and clumsier way”. It doesn’t always get fixed, but I feel it’s understood.

My employer pays me so while
I’m on the clock in the office I will use the OS and software they tell me to (not) use. It’s on them if my productivity is reduced because of informed decisions they make. I get paid whether or not I have to open a ticket and wait because I’m blocked on IT.

Ultimately, my direct line of management is much more important than any OS decision because good management will listen and understand the effects their decisions have and they won’t blame me for the effects of their decisions.

If my managers instruct me to develop containerised Java 6 SOAP microservices to run on Windows Kubernetes clusters in IBM cloud while using a Hannah Montana Linux dev environment over VNC from a SunOS workstation with an AZERTY keyboard and the monitor rotated 180 degrees then I will do it on company time. I’ll tell them what I think of it, though.
>negative intent

I think clickbaiting children in to a less-than-savory theme so you can get their ad revenue is probably enough negative intent to make me grossed out by them.
So how's it doing right now? The big story right now is that someone tried to use a car to ram the immigration checkpoint into Canada at the Rainbow Bridge near Niagara Falls. The car blew up. Two people in the car dead, no other casualties.

Press coverage is terrible. The clickbait headline systems are producing fact-free headlines, such as "FBI investigating explosion at US-Canadian border". There is, inevitably, surveillance camera imagery. But it's not linked on CNN. Just talking heads and useless pictures of cops milling around the aftermath. Fox at least has "NY vehicle explosion at Rainbow Bridge border crossing, two dead." NBC News is paywalled. The New York Daily News, which is historically good at violent crime coverage, has a decent story.

The US anti-terrorism people are freaking out over this, closing border crossings, cancelling flights, and similar security theater.

So what does Meta Threads have to say?
They are mostly incompatible.

Primary OS is a dealbreaker for me, companies should trust their employees to pick out the tools that are best from them.
One of the comments got me intrigued, and wow:

"OptiNAND uses a large non-volatile memory on the drive. It optimizes write performance by using DRAM as a cache. So, when the drive is powered up, performance is on par with WCE, well it is WCE technically as DRAM caching is enabled.

In the event of an emergency power off (EPO), the contents of DRAM are written to non-volatile memory (NVM) using the power of the spinning disk, so the data is protected. Since NVM can hold the data for a very long time without needing power , as soon as the drive is powered up again , the data can be transferred from NVM to the drive."

Yes it's too slow for HFT, but anything would be too slow for HFT unless it's custom built. You likely want a streaming engine or even hand-optimize all your event handlers to shave-off any nanoseconds.

For coding and "reasoning" tasks, there isn't any that can match GPT4. You can try Bing but it is slightly nerfed in my experience.

For general writing, simple discussion, basic knowledge etc, Claude is pretty good. In fact, I find Claude's writing a lot better than GPT. It sounds more "normal".

For vision and API calls and developing apps and such, unfortunately, GPT is king and anything else pales in comparison.
A JS tag is easier to deploy than an agent on a server. I run GoatCounter on my Netlify static site (and I don't even have access to server logs).
Ah I think this year marks two decades since the Coast Guard's Patrol Forces Southwest Asia (PATFORSWA) started operating in the Persian Gulf. Interesting to see it on a fleet tracker, as it's basically a permanent fixture at this point. They even have been replacing the old Island Class patrol boats with a brand new class. I'm not sure if I'm misremembering but I seem to recall hearing a plan of the Coast Guard getting out of there within about a year of my time ('09).
The diagnostic tools are apparently mostly written in Perl, so they come with source code in the ISO. So, there is at least some source code.
What advantage would traditional processing have over this approach?
Defense Production Act, something something.
This has been my experience as well with ChatGPT. Sure you can tell it to write like some other random persona or something but realistically it's always felt pretty obvious that something was written by ChatGPT. The more I interact with it the less excited I am about its writing capabilities because they always feel like they're written by spam blogs or something.
It sadly clobbers your working tree. Not calling that checkout doesn't make it any better. Nothing other than checkout ought to change the working tree -- is that too much to ask?

Didn't Sun have Gatekeepers carefully controlling what commits were made to any given gate, thereby ensuring that the actual source control would never be the limiting factor in scaling things out? (Don't get me wrong, I love mercurial, I just don't think this particular example demonstrates much because it always sounded like they'd sidestepped the issue.)
Where do you typically have the 'safe search' setting when you web search? Personally I have it 'off' ('moderate' when I worked in an office I think) even though I'm not looking for anything that ought to be filtered by it.

I'm not using models censored or otherwise, but I imagine I'd feel the same way there - I won't be offended, so don't try to be too clever, just give me the unfiltered results and let me decide what's correct.

(Bing AI actually banned me for trying to generate images a rough likeness of myself by combining traits of minor celebrities - in combination it shouldn't have looked like those people either, so I don't think should violate ToS, certainly it didn't in intention (I wanted myself, but it doesn't know what I look like and I couldn't provide a photo at the time, idk if you can now (banned!)) so it does happen, 'false positive censoring' if you like.)
Because there are already more Enrons and no one's paying the price for it.
Not really, but my efficiency varies significantly between operating systems, and I have never held back my feedback to management, that if we were given right tools then we can deliver more.

And I never was afraid to push for it =)

I used to work in a big old insurance enterprise (with AS/400 mainframes as a backend) and when I joined 100% of engineers were given locked in Windows machines without admin access. Over time me and other engineers were able to influence the company to first give us ability to run linux on desktops and then even expanded to buying Macbooks to developers who wanted.
you can always run compiled programs from bash as binaries (but yeah it's not as great as an experience than being able to run interpreted languages directly).
LlamaIndex is pretty awesome.

There are a couple areas where we think we are driving some differentiation.

1. The management of metadata as a first class citizen. This includes capturing metadata at every stage of the pipeline.

2. Be infra ready. We are still evolving this point, but we want to add abstractions that can help developers apply this type of framework to a large scale distributed architecture.

3. Enable different types of data synchronization natively. So far we enable both full and delta syncs, but have work in the pipeline to bring in abstractions for real-time syncing.
3.
I wonder what the motivation for this is. I can’t imagine this would be a priority for a company currently going through hell with their new model. Are the dropping some servicing support?
Disagree, constraints on respec are consequences for in game choices, which raise the stakes for each move and can greatly increase immersion. Like putting money down on a horse race. That doesn't mean that all RPGs should be perma-death, but that it's a complex artistic choice.
I thought cheap flash devices are only usable products because of error correction. USB flash drives and memory cards use reject tier NAND and compensate by pre-marking bad sectors and heavy ECC. Your files exist as a probabilistic approximation.
You missed my unless part of the sentence.
What is this comment even trying to say?
It may not be the clerverness of the obfuscation that beats the spammer's bot. If you go to such lengths to obfuscate your email, then you may simply not be a bad target for my bot: response rates tiny. No good ROI for the spammer.

Does not matter, it works then!! But not because of technical cleverness.

No idea if what I am saying is true.

Currently on macos because the servers we deploy to are linux. Used to work on windows and it was ok, as everything was done from the command line and the application was deployed from the CVS. Realistically I was not really using windows in any meaningful way. Just something to launch a shell from

It would be annoying to unlearn the macos keystrokes at this point though
