I offered something similar here [1] and it is used by many companies including Philip Morris, and the Argentinian tax agency for the same purposes.

The technique I used (I should publish it as open source) is using a Feistel cipher [2] with a key. The Feistel network could be adjusted to almost any size and the key used in every round is an expansion of a general key using a key derivation function [3] (KDF3 if I remember well).

Basically it is a symmetric cipher of arbitrary size.

I don’t think this is using local storage. There’s a web sockets based server that is sending clients the location of the other boxes as they are moving

Well, as sad as it is to see an architecture go, like with Itanium, I'm not shocked that the overlap of the sets "people who want to run 7+ year old CPUs" and "people who need the newest software" is too small to be viable.
Houston, Austin, DFW, San Antonio metro areas is like 20/29 million. If 20 out of 29 isn't a majority I don't know what to say.

Keep proving to me you don't understand what you're talking about if you want. I'm probably done after having to say 20/29 is greater than 50% and point out El Paso isn't in ERCOT.
AMD has open source drivers so it's basically just NVIDIA that doesn't.

Unless you already want to count intel, not sure if they count as actual products or are still in early access.

> Is there some type of underlying assumption that goes like this: "more people ==> more people participating in the market ==> more consumers for your product"?

No, the theory (promoted by Oded Galor, now becoming mainstream) is:-

More people ==> more ideas ==> more new technologies that dramatically improve productivity, and therefore the material wellbeing of families, such as electricity or the Germ Theory of disease. Or maybe digital packet radio (wi-fi, cellphones, bluetooth), or computer vision + lithium batteries + ambulatory robots.

There are pros and cons to every statistic. Percent of GDP accounts for the fact that the economy is growing, which means more to tax. I used it primarily because the article does. I think percent of receipts makes more sense as receipts are essentially the agency’s product.

Excellent! Here is my first attempt:

Me: How can I write a good essay?

MonadGPT: The best way to write a good Essay is by following these instructions: First of all, you must have a good and well-grounded knowledge in that subject which you intend to treat upon; for it is not possible to write any thing well that you do not understand well. Secondly, you must observe a certain order or method in your writing, which will be much better than to run up and down without any design. Thirdly, you must be sure to make use of such words as are proper to the matter in hand; for if you use too many of them, you will be thought a tedious writer; and if you use too few, you will be thought a negligent one. Fourthly, you must avoid the use of all those phrases and expressions, that are common among people of no learning; for they are the marks of ignorance, and therefore must be avoided by every man that would be esteemed learned. Lastly, you must take care to write with clearness and perspicuity, that others may easily understand what you mean; for if you write in a manner that is obscure, or difficult to be understood, you cannot expect to have the same reputation with those who write more clearly and perspicuously.

I ran the same question by GPT-4, Claude 2.1, and Bard. Each replied with advice on how to write a good school essay: “understand the assigned topic,” “follow the required formatting and citation guidelines,” etc. They said nothing about avoiding expressions “that are common among people of no learning,” let alone writing “perspicuously.”
Certainly. In fact I see we already follow each other on Twitter :D

And yes totally. The other massive impact could be in source analysis. I have started using Mistral-Hermes for text annotation and it is both impressive and very fast.

While there was a split with more educated voting remain and working class voting leave, I don't think it was down to "cognitive ability in processing and discounting misinformation."

More things like well off graduates benefiting from hiring cheap Polish plumbers, while British plumbers etc suffered from that.
maybe you went on different lines that the ones I'm using, but I never found the most of the stations clean. Or it's just still better than what you're used to (I don't have much experience with subway in other cities)

Intel’s Linux drivers are also open source IIRC.
At various times, from the mid-1980s until now, I have regularly bought: Electronics Australia, Electronics Today International, Sonics, Your Computer, Australian Personal Computer, Byte, Doctor Dobbs Journal, Rolling Stone, Wired, Planet, Mondo 2000, The New Yorker, Foreign Affairs, The Diplomat, The Economist, and Quarterly Essay.

I've never subscribed: I liked the process of going to the news agent and collecting the latest issue.

I haven't bought a paper magazine now for years. After I stopped buying regularly, I still used to buy a few to take on vacation, but I don't even bother to do that anymore.

It's a dead medium.
It's good enough and only going to get better. The postgres community only has to improve a vector index extension. These vector databases have to improve everything else (all of the really hard stuff) about a database. My money is on postgres.

EDIT>> Plus pgvector is enabled by default on AWS RDS databases. Huge bonus.
I’m not sure exactly what DuckTales game you’re referring to, but this game very likely predated it.
I am not the parent but the comment does have some merit (and I say this as a Canadian). For a lot of things we simply gloat that we’re better than the US and then end up thinking that our work is done.

Classic case is health care (‘look, we spend less than the US and have free healthcare’) where instead of looking up to countries with better healthcare outcomes than us, we look down on America and act smug. Other cases include our climate record, and post secondary education.
Singapore has a venerable public ID system also, SingPass. Its been around since 2003 in some form. I cannot comment on its verified security, but appears to be reasonably ok. Banks use their own authn systems though.

Would it be possibly to have whole fleets of constantly flying planes assuming the fuel burden wasn't too much, I can think of a few high value areas where it might be worth the deterrent capability of always having a fair few planes constantly scrambled...

I wonder if this would become more common with things like ChatGPT.

Let's say you've been working in place A, you show your code to an LLM service (like the dozen or so Copilot-like services) and tell them to refactor. And for the sake of argument, let's say the LLM uses your code and questions for its next training dataset.

A few years pass, then you go to work at Place B, and ask a question that happens to be related to the problem that Place A's code solved, and they give you Place A's code as is.

What do people think of “Magic Links” or emailing a one time authentication session starter

I havent really seen it discussed from a security perspective, but see it more and more. On phones its an alright UX because the push notification shows you the email. On desktop experience I find it arduous.
Think about it this way: you essentially have two different “problems” you’re trying to solve simultaneously, flying the tanker and flying the plane being refueled.
As other comments have pointed out, the plane being refueled has much higher control authority and responsiveness, compared to the generally larger tanker. Also, given the two aircraft are flying in near identical environmental conditions because of their close proximity.
The “easier” of the two aircraft to fly is the plane, not the tanker. So your control algorithm (or pilot) flies the tanker and the plane just matches its control inputs plus a position offset.

Yeaaahhh... I'm not going to argue about this. It's basically "Religion and politics," in this crowd, and discussions don't end well.

Holy crap! I used to play this video game 40 years ago! Playing it awakened decades-dormant memories of tricks I used to do like flying upside down while dropping a bomb! I just sent this to my buddy who I used to play this with all the time on his original IBM PC!

Thank you for this!
I go cashless for one simple reason, going to the bank to withdraw money and making sure I carry the right change is inconvenient.

I think to get the purported freedom cash entails you'd also have to not have a bank account (which governments can freeze) or large illiquid assets which governments can confiscate.

I don't think having mediums like money is the solution to government overreach. I think the only possible solution is having a popular distrust of the government - which on a positive note is something that is slowly growing around the world
Quite a bit of surprise as I knew here and there a bit but this seems to join them together

- Occam (Algol 60 and Bcpl)

- Parallel processing (share nothing?) and channel

- design language and compiler (see who we are talking) first and then design cpu, instead of assembler priority but higher language use

- microcode (used a lot in s/360 … and hence by 1984 not new concept)

- stack based system

- multiple interconnect and

- grid and

- switch

- 1987 for ieee floating point and add this as well

- provable implementation… not like intel

- Bristol of uk

- Edinburgh u with 400 processor 1990s

- though no memory or normal io … (host system) and no normal os … need host computer like a channel io computer of ibm, gpu …

- state own against Margaret Thatcher

- thorn of uk

- Atari … Amiga … Helios …

Anyway all is part of history. Or really just history?

Show HN: AIWP – Context-aware DALL·E 3 wallpapers for Android
Hey all! This is a lightweight Android app to auto-change your wallpaper using AI generated images, implemented via the recently introduced DALL·E 3 API.

I wanted something no-frills that isn't a bloated commercial option, so this is that. Open source, but also on the Play Store for convenience:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minosapps....

It (optionally) injects the current time, current location (city and country name only, using coarse location access) and current weather into the prompt, so you can easily get a night scene with rain in the evening, and blue skies at noon.

API access is handled via Bring-Your-Own-Key, so no subscription option or anything. Just copy in your own API key.

There are some presets to get you started, but best experience is using your own prompts.
> You’re making a false equivalent.

Not at all.

You: taking Vitamin A in a pill is unnatural. You should get it naturally, by eating organ meat (at the potential cost of getting sick from Vitamin A overdose, which is something that actually happens).

Me: taking an ACE inhibitor in a pill is unnatural. You should get it naturally, by allowing a snake to bite you (at the potential cost of dying from the snake bite).

There's no "false equivalent" here. The statements are exactly analogous.
Stare into space as long as you can without blinking, internally, count the interval until when you're forced to blink. Modulo by 2 to get a zero or one. Repeat as necessary.
Hah, that explains why I couldn't find an example blog that this would work on! I was trying it against https://blogger.googleblog.com/

I get it that companies want to distance themselves for bad stuff those LLMs output. But what baffles me is the way they deal with this issue.

Nowadays if you share or reproduce anything controversial, is as if you are endorsing such content. LLM's outputs are user generated content for what is worth it, both from inferece and from training. That line of thinking that the host would be responsible for everything it says, even if the users force it to, is ludicrous to me but it seems like how the world nowadays has become.

Take the headlines from when BingAI was acting-up, the level of anthromorphization of those applications were insane. I suppose they do it for the headlines, but people also falls on that and play along. If ChatGPT says something bad, is as if the CEO of OpenAI was saying it verbatin, period, and it blows back directly at the company. Take a look at the subreddit of ChatGPT and see how people act when it outputs something weird.

It saddens me that people lack common sense in such a way, and that's why we can't have nice things in the end. The companies also assumed the roles of babysitting the users, like a bunch of no-brainers. As long as online culture follow this, it will get worse.
Adding agency to LLMs is not that hard and people are already doing it.

"You will not be able to give money to your kids" is a point I commonly see these conspiracy theorists go on about, and it's complete nonsense.

I absolutely hate having cash on me, everyone at work just transfers each other for lunch etc. Cash is very very inconvenient because I have to drive to the next town over to deposit it and make it useful.

It is, however, what is known in copyright as a "derived work", meaning that it is under the same copyright with the same owner as the original work.

It's Nintendo's code. Distributing it without permission is violating copyright.
Do you trust your email server? Do you trust your email client? Do you trust that you signed up with the right email address? If the answer to any of those is no, then it's not a good solution for you.
The worst outdated password practice is putting the burden on users to create and remember so-called "strong passwords".

All the things that led to getting rid of flash player have been pretty great. CSS is pretty incredible compared to what it used to be. JavaScript is still a train wreck but web assembly holds some promise there. WebGL is also pretty great.
The answer to those questions are all yes if you allow password resets to that email address. If you don’t trust email, username and secure authenticator are your last resort.

(Magic links are a good shim until passkeys are provided as a secure authenticator. Avoids needing to store a password, prevents credential stuffing. Not a substitute for MFA/2FA imho.)
Most numbers can be used as letters or phonemes.

I could give a fuck about avoiding swear words, but if you want to avoid slurs and eyebleach-inducing ideas and still have any sort of compact representation, I suspect we have to look not at problematic letters but problematic groups of letters. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the letter E. Not with G, I, N, or R, but you can sure get a lot of attention you don't want by arranging them in the wrong order. K and Y aren't bad either, unless you're hating on Jewish people.

So maybe there's a 5:4 or a 5:3 encoding out there where you avoid making syllables.
For Nvidia, the most likely reason they've strongly avoided Open Sourcing their drivers isn't anything like that.

It's simply a function of their history. They used to have professional level graphics cards ("Nvidia Quadro") using exactly the same chips as their consumer graphics cards.

The BIOS of the cards was different, enabling different features. So people wanting those features cheaply would buy the consumer graphics cards and flash the matching Quadro BIOS to them. Worked perfectly fine.

Nvidia naturally wasn't happy about those "lost sales", so began a game of whack-a-mole to stop BIOS flashing from working. They did stuff like adding resistors to the boards to tell the card whether it was a Geforce or Quadro card, and when that was promptly reverse engineered they started getting creative in other ways.

Meanwhile, they couldn't really Open Source their drivers because then people could see what the "Geforce vs Quadro" software checks were. That would open up software countermeasures being developed.

---

In the most recent few years the professional cards and gaming cards now use different chips. So the BIOS tricks are no longer relevant.

Which means Nvidia can "safely" Open Source their drivers now, and they've begun doing so.

>Absolutely it does. The number of new companies launching on Oracle rounds to near zero though.

I'm not sure how correct that is either, but it's incorrect to call it a legacy skillset on an unpopular technology. A good number of those new companies, if successful, get acquired and are forced to integrate if not convert to Oracle.

The world is way bigger than SV.
> oh, and we managed to get trapped at the Versailles station, because we had no idea that the ticket we bought for Zone1-4 was "dans" Paris.

Weird, because any of the 5 train stations in Versailles should be in zone 4 and you shouldn't had any issue to leave the station... Though honestly, I feel like there's a bunch of things that aren't clear with the RATP system, especially for people who aren't local.

I wasn’t aware of that. But it’s even more baffling: how did they qualify for a patent on the design of a basic sliding latch?
I do not agree with an approach of a book that starts with bash.

Realistically, starting with the POSIX shell, most commonly seen as Debian dash, is the best introduction. Knowing this standard (and what is not in it) will let you write highly portable scripts.

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V...

From here, moving to a text on the 1988 version of the Korn shell is a conservative approach to extended shell syntax (as ksh88 predates the POSIX shell). Korn's own first edition is not a bad place to start.

https://www.amazon.com/KornShell-Command-Programming-Languag...

The ksh88 syntax also addresses mksh directly, the Android system shell.

Taking this route to bash will be more fruitful than unlearning what these other branches of the shell do not support.
