I bookmark things in pinboard that I may wish to find again, at some other point in time... I am helping my future self, and I appreciate that by paying pinboard to ensure a backup of the page is saved. I search the bookmarks every week or two, and I frequently search back years to "I recall a passage, but now want to read the full article again or share it with someone"... this works even when the site has long-ceased to exist because of the backup scraped at the time. I have bookmarks going back to the mid-1990s, and I do periodically (every year or two) look at which still work and which have fallen by the wayside for which I have no saved page — and I delete those.

Additionally I have this page https://david.kitchen/bookmarks/ which is my browser home page in all browsers, and is another form of a bookmark collection, and this is how I mostly interact... where pinboard is long-term storage of bookmarks, anything I interact with regularly enough is on this page. I update this whenever I find myself returning to the same thing for more than a few weeks.

I don't feel like I carry any baggage, the opposite in fact... I feel like this clears the mind of the responsibility to remember as this is mostly long-term memory and short-term convenience.

I also keep my browsers in permanent incognito mode with NoScript... so tab-city is not a thing I've ever done, every session is a blank session. I view bookmarks like data on a computer... it should be extremely portable across devices and OSs, and so bookmarks should transcend the device, a specific browser, and be available everywhere.
Envoy is not by Ambassador Labs, they just ship it. I am not sure if that is where the naming of both of them (independently) comes from but may be.
For security (and general bug fixing). If a security issue is found you want to only fix it in one place. The container alternative is searching down how all the containers were built, which might be very varied and some not even reproducible, and fixing them all.
As a longtime owner of large dogs: Don't live with pitbulls or pitbull mixes. In their case it's not the owner, it's the breed; and they're all undetonated ordinance.

https://youtu.be/k9ZGEvUwSMg?feature=shared

They are notoriously sweet, clingy and loyal, but they have a 'hair trigger' other breeds do not have. Once they get into their aggressive state, they are simply unconscious of any loyalty or sweetness they may normally have. If you own a pitbull you endanger yourself and everyone around you.
Ask HN: Do you know any good coding platform for education?
Hi,

I want to teach a basic programming course (like, simple coding problems in Python).
Do you know of any platform that’d allow me to create some challenges with some boilerplate code and then have students connect to from their browsers and solve them?
I’m thinking about something like vscode.dev, but for the problem I described.
I know about Replit’s “Teams for Education”, but I’ve seen some people complaining about it on HN [1], is it better now? Or is there something else?

Thanks!

That sounds like the human prediction function would also have a high enough dimensionality to consider all of those things, and more, then.
No, why? It is very often not necessary to make this accessible to JavaScript, except you are working with refresh tokens. But this is mostly not necessary and overused.
While humans are still browsing (instead of agents), there is definitely a need to manage our collections better.

I worked on something in 2007 for bookmarking, too.

One problem he doesn't mention is with the libraries / dependencies themselves. They should offer stable APIs and ABIs so that you don't have to have software that needs to depend on specific versions in the first place. Poor software development practices in certain ecosystems encourage this churn.
I have spent a ton of time refining use of sockets and test automation these past years in personal projects. These are winning me employment in areas that are far less opinionated.

Having used models that were actually trained with porn I highly assume that the popular/base models likely mostly avoided nudity already. However nudity is normal in many contexts and sexy poses exist with clothes together we get what we have now.
it's possibly even less evil, may be to remove flashing the bios at all for support simplicity. I flashed a 7800gt to a gtx for use in sli with a gtx I bought much later. weirdly I expected to flash the gtx down to the older GT but that wouldn't boot.

Probably because very few people have idetic memory to store 6GB of data in their brains with the utmost fidelity and unless you can also install a printer to your brain, it would take you a long time to reproduce 6GB of data by hand from your brain.

Transport method it is because it means there's hard proof and a paper trail of the IP theft that you can prove in court. Memorizing something has no paper trail and also leads to a clean room deisgn. That's why companies want to hire people or entire teams, to do clean room deign, without any of the original data.

If I go watch a movie and then tell people what I saw it's fine. If I record the movie with a camera and show it on screen that's the IP theft.
imho. you have to look at those statements from the eyes of the early 1990ties: back then it was clear, that microkernels are the future*) ... but: just not yet ;))

why? because cpus in microcomputers where still pretty slow and the performance-penalty for using a "full blown" microkernel a la [cmu|gnu] mach was not justifiable ... again: at least at this point in time.

which imho. had 3 outcomes during the 90ties etc.:

1. the development of more lightweight microkernels - idk. for example L4 from i think the technical university of dresden/germany is the first which comes to my mind

2. the development of "hybrids" to mitigate the performance-penalty - a la darwin/the base of mac os x: a combination of cmu mach and freebsd hardware-support ... why the older cmu mach? to avoid the GNU licence ;)

3. the persistence of somewhat modularized monolithic kernels a la linux (and *BSD)

*) afaik even early versions of windows nt, which was developed during that time, tried to incorporate some aspects of microkernels, which where removed over later generations :))
Iranian law makes every child of an Iranian man an Iranian citizen irrespective of where he was born, so technically he probably is an Iranian citizen by birth. This isn't uncommon - e.g. my son is a Norwegian citizen as well as British because he was born in the UK but I'm Norwegian.

That said, I think it'd be immensely cruel not to recognize him as a US citizen, and he may well be right it might be unsafe for him to claim Iranian citizenship.
Well if you can't cope then you should probably be looking for a new job ;)
The difference between Game (engine) dev and modern microservice development is pretty staggering. It actually cuts both ways. As a webdev when I dabbled with some OpenGL programming it actually felt amazing how much stuff you can cram into 1/60th of a second when it's all in-process or at worse has to be shuffled between CPU and GPU. When you are used to anything useful taking 10-100 seconds due to network hops and/or having to access a RDBMS it's very reassuring to know that actually, computers are really fast.
It's finetuned on [0] OpenHermes-2-Mistral-7B

One would hope that there would be consequences for the directors/owners of The Blockchain Group.

In many countries, this would put a flag against the individuals and/or have implications for other companies they are connected to.
Another author who explores stealth in space combat is Greg Bear in 'Anvil of Stars' (the successor to 'Forge of God'). This is nothing like The Expanse, instead the galaxy is a hostile jungle full of predators just waiting for a young techno civilisation (like humanity) to naïvely broadcast its presence.
Light robotankers are definitely needed for a war in the Pacific eh. Smaller, relatively "disposable" tanker units to gas up one or two manned aircraft and then zip back to base (or back to a mothertanker safely far from the theater) for another round of quick-fuel-up-and-go. With good luck and good engineering, get high rendezvous+transfer reliability and a very high duty cycle.
I went from firefox to shaarli back to firefox now that sync is fairly reliable, tagged and optimized, better search is the reason I might check this out.
GPT-4 can write html from a messy napkin sketch. These models won’t need formal requirements. “I’m having a problem with A, B and C” will likely be all the model needs from you.

Your argument was very common and quite persuasive two years ago. Not so much today.
The problem is when I suddenly remember something I saw a month ago that is now relevant and I can't find it anymore. That's why I preemptively bookmark interesting stuff
> There's a stark difference between coming up with an an hypothesis and just roll with it and scrutinising a hypothesis by conducting experiments and tests.

Like the difference between LLM hallucinations and truth. At pure language level we can come up with any explanation (LLMs can generate any hallucination), it is validation in the real world that makes it true. Neither brains or LLMs can skip the validation step, we are not THAT smart.
What makes you positively confident that a network cannot be dangerous?
Just so everyone's aware: the author receives a commission for each book sold through their Amazon link, so take that into account when reading their review.
Yes. I think we may have enough for "full finetuning" and erasing to a large extent the previous knowledge. But that's still very far off for pretraining.

"RomeGPT" is next on my list of Monad successors and to give you a general idea, we have on the order of tens of millions of words in classical Latin (and biggest source will… Augustine). There was a BERT Latin project that was able to collect roughly 500 million words in all with mostly early modern and modern Latin.

In comparison I'm currently part of a project to pretrain a French model and we need… 140 billion words.
Coping mechanisms always astonish me. No, it is not normal to lose function (passengers/square feet) over uncivil behavior.
Food security != food choice. If there’s zero avocado’s worldwide people can still cheaply eat a healthy diet. However, what normally happens is prices rise in one food and people then substitute something else.

There’s also huge food stockpiles worldwide simply because crops like North American corn get harvested in the fall and then supplied over the next year. At which point we can cut biofuel production should an actual shortage occur.
I used to do things like this. Then my DNS host was bought by another company (after 18 years with them) and their new system started detecting my youtube iframe rickrolls for blindly copying/embeding whois http sites as "hacking attempts". I had to remove them or else I couldn't change my records.
The videogames effectively went there, doing all the whip-exploits that the movies didn't.
Indeed we can easily say we’re living in a different world, different planet from what it was 100-150 years ago. Our world is nothing like the world of 16th century. Question is wether we’re going to sustain this new brave world or would tumble back to superstition and chaos.
I found two very interesting things in the original D-K paper [1] that challenge your otherwise reasonable point. The first is that the graph everybody associates with D-K, the one showing the beautifully perfect linear result, is one of 4. The other 3 graphs are far messier, and indeed the paper discusses the fact that the correlations tend to be weaker and in some cases nonexistent.

The second thing is that that beautiful perfectly linear graph everybody references, was measuring 'humor'!!! Humor is going to be something that's all but guaranteed to create near complete noise between self evaluation and 'expert' (professional comedians in this case) evaluation. And if everybody is essentially randomly guessing on their performance, then it will always show an extremely strong D-K effect with the top performers underestimating themselves, and the bottom performers overestimating themselves.

The experiment that most simply and directly measured 'intelligence', without complicating matters in a potentially confounding fashion, is #2. It was based on logic problems from the LSAT. And the resultant graph is just all over the place. Quoting the paper's evaluation of this study:

---

"Participants did not, however, overestimate how many questions they answered correctly, M = 13.3 (perceived) vs. 12.9 (actual), t < 1. As in Study 1, perceptions of
ability were positively related to actual ability, although in this case, not to a significant degree."

---

This is really looking like another Zimbardo.

The Chinese have nearly doubled the metros built in both number and mileage in the last two decades. And pretty much none of those are rubber tired either.

Rubber tired metros are also a niche in new metros.
Tanker should provide all consumables - fuel, lubricants, etc.

On a 4-engined aircraft, one engine could be powered down at a time for maintenance.

But if perpetual flying became a real need, indirect cycle nuclear aero engines would quickly be developed.
It's good to consider this but... Plenty of sites expose user ID as a regular integer. In some cases you might want to avoid this (leaking user count to competitors etc), but I have never heard about anyone calling this a vulnerability.

If data quality is good, one can reach results with much less data:

Indeed, containers suck for this: Not just do you have to look into each container separately, there is also no requirement all containers use the same structure at all, as you said.

Yet this is exactly what happens in practice if the one-version-for-all paradigm is impractical for developers.

So it would be in the interest of distros to give some way in that regard: Keep the centralised dependency dogma in place, but allow multiple independent versions and configurations be stored.

Then bug fixing might be slightly harder than with a single version, because you might have to fix 3 versions instead of one, but still much easier than monkey-patching half a dozen containers.

(It would still be good to "nudge" developers towards a canonical version, i.e. by sending them reminders when the software uses a lower version or a different configuration - or if you want even a warning that everything below a certain minimum version will be rejected)
Why not to become a maintainer and solve this problem for us? It looks like you have the vision.

> If you use GitHub, you feed OpenAI with your code as training data already, with GitLab you do the same for Google.

Do you have some evidence that github trained copilot on private repositories? They've been pretty clear about claiming they only used public repos.

Also, gitlab is not owned by Google AFAICT but is instead a publicly traded company.
Snow? Snap?
Is the compiler written in Flix?
If there's a chain of dependencies (libraries depending on other libraries), a single process might end up with different versions of the same library in it's memory.
That's not going to work, since the interface/API of the library is typically not versioned.
They do ban with a 14 day warning. But I guess it's not easy

Not feasible to go with pretraining only.

What is possible is to use a larger learning rate but this will be a hard trade-off with conversational capacities. Fine tuning is currently based on original texts with a synthetic prompt. The issues that people have noticed (repetitions, not remembering what was in the prompt) will be more significant if the learning rate is higher.

Maybe a solution will be to provide two different variant of the same model, one less immersive and more workable, and the other more immersive and buggy.
I've used Elasticsearch and Pinecone before but never locally. Easy to scale, relatively low latency but can get pricey.
> In a shrinking world without software innovation, most software suppliers will not be able to count on increasing customer revenue to fund routinely rewriting their software from scratch when it rots

The author doesn't seem to understand that software rots because of software and hardware innovation.

The entire point of RHEL and CentOS is that they have extremely limited changes so you can optimise for a very specific and stable situation.

If everything ossifies then software won't magically start failing other than inherent bugs (like the 2038 date problem)

I stopped reading movie reviews after they completely ruined Jurassic Park for me. If I'm interested in an upcoming movie I try to avoid even trailers.

I had a few "oh that was really nice" moments through the years, but I think the best surprise was Clerks: went in expecting a slow, realistic indie movie, and left the cinema in tears of laughter.
True, but shouldn't this issue already show up when a developer builds/tests the application on their own machine?
This is all just assumptions, but:

ChatGPT can now switch between different models on its own (dall-e, data analysis, ...).

For me it felt like it can also switch to 3.5 (to save on resources) and it sometimes misjudges the questions.
"Are you really sure?" seemed to have triggered a ChatGPT4 response, but seeded with that wrong knowledge of ChatGPT3.5.

The GPTs also don't seem to run on 4.0, but on 3.5 with greater context or something in-between?
One of my OS class assignments was writing an allocator. It was scored by running some artificial workloads and measuring the memory overhead.

The results from past years were public and included the test case names like "PowersOfTwo" or "Primes". So instead of a generic allocator some of us optimized for the test suite :)

I managed to get one of the all time high scores by implementing a variable length integer encoding scheme that could fit powers of two, primes and other "interesting" numbers up to some size into one or two bytes.
If html rendering is really a big bottleneck, a bytearray could be even faster, provided you accept the compromise of manipulating encoded strings. And a rope for even more perfs.

But yes, benchmarks are very much necessary.
Looking at the GitHub repo, it’s written in Scala.
Why did browsers fail when it comes to bookmark management? I mean seriously, it is arguably one of the most important features for organising your digital life and the best that a browser vendor can do is “folders”? This has always baffled me.

Who enjoys opening their bookmarks and seeing 500 links in an unordered list? Metadata has been a thing for how long now, and yet no browser that I know of has gone ahead and implemented a proper bookmark management workflow.
Have you tried the arc browser? It embraces having lots of open tabs and organize them as you wish (or not) https://arc.net/
I remembered that I had enjoyed its text based quest in prison (and maybe somewhere else as well, cannot recall that).
After delicious and pinboard I am done with bookmarks. You know why? Because I never access them ever again and if I do, and that is ridiculously rare, finding them elsewhere in is actually easier and faster. I am all for cute little services and one app for one need, but bookmarks for me are not a need at all. Whatever little need it has are squarely served by the browser’s bookmark service and I think all of them have one these days. They’re not the easiest but it’s fine.
The GDPR protects personal data, i.e. information "related to an identified or identifiable natural person." https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/personal-data/

Unless the comment itself identifies you in some way, removing the connection to your user profile renders it no longer personal data.

The reason other platforms may decide to simply delete everything when you ask are: 1. they don't care about your old stuff; 2. they don't want to spend time checking individual cases. So they pick the cheapest option.
I’m not making any claims about the danger or lack of danger. Anyway, in the absence of specifics, this is a boring conversation.

Um, no.

Useful points of building constraints are things like so a mentally unstable person cannot use it as a weapon.
I take the MIT license and excise the credit clause for publishing my least important personal projects. I feel it gives me just enough cover (no warranty etc.) and avoids requiring people to stick my name into whichever unaffiliated project.

For work, I’ve definitely had to bury the fineprint MIT credits on some random help screen. It’s easy enough to do.

Re TFA: it’s kind of nice doing a bit of open source work on the job when you can reference or use random utility code later. There’s only so many times I want to write code for walking a dictionary in JavaScript or whatever.

As with anything, there are shades of gray and certainly more or less scrupulous ways to behave. Stealing GB’s of code is a bit much.

Ok, you can pay the healthy premium and streamline the process by removing all of the bits that you’ve deemed necessary but aren’t.

If I asked you to buy a certain vehicle today and gave you MSRP+20%, I’m sure you’d drive off the lot today, with plenty of time to do other things.

I’ve watched someone walk onto a showroom floor and buy a car from the lot like that. It wasn’t too complicated. You’re complicating it if you’re actually willing to pay the premium.
