For code generation, GPT4 is getting beat by the small prompt library LATS wrapped around GPT3.5. Given the recent release of MagicCoder / Instruct-OSS, that means a small prompt library + a small 7B model you can self-host beats the much fancier GPT4.

Similar to when simple NNs destroyed a decade of Bayesian modeling theses & research programs, it's frustrating for folks going other paths. But it doesn't make the work 'wrong'.
Spamming advertising in chat is a bannable offense. Chat is a space free of ads, because there is no way to opt out without closing chat, and if I do that, I have literally no reason to watch the streamer on Twitch, since I can probably catch their VOD on YouTube the next day. If I want to watch the streamer on Twitch ad free, I subscribe, which kicks 50% or 30% over to Twitch to pay to keep the lights on. The comments by this bot announcing this campaign probably got it flagged to Twitch by thousands of viewers and banned in thousands of channels, because it's the same behavior seen by other bots trying to entice you with "free gaming gear" or "hot singles in your area".

The AI scanning as part of this campaign is happening whether someone opts in or not. And what the streamer opts into is nothing more than being used as an advertising vessel for bad sugar water for free.

Pepsico is free to issue Twitch bounties for certain things or buy normal ad slots for pre-rolls or mid-stream ads if they want to remind everyone that their neon green slop exists.
And if Beeper keeps it up they’re likely running afoul of the CFAA in the US.

The EU doesn’t rule the world. They haven’t forced iMessage open yet, and Apple is clearly trying to avoid it with their announced RCS support.

I don’t think things are as far along as you do.
I'm not calling into doubt the above poster's work estimates, there are people that work those hours, but I have found that it is extremely, extremely rare.

Across all of the teams I have worked with I have found that if you ask someone how many hours a week they work they will typically say 40+, usually closer to 50. If you ask someone how much they worked the previous week, every week, they will usually say 30-35, or even lower.

I also don't think the majority of them were lying or trying to cover up their work habits, I think they work 50 hours a week the same way someone might see themselves as smart, funny, a good person, or any other nebulous concept. They are a 50, 60, 70 hour per week person.

Also, all but one person who worked extended hours as the above poster claims has been of the "super chicken" type. Typically working for visibility and not to advance their team. I see they posted about their individual accolades and accomplishments but I have no way of knowing if their teams goals were met, if they lifted the performance of the rest of their team or anything else. Many an extreme outlier in performance can be found who has never shipped. Again, not specifically talking about the above poster.
You could make a fantastic fork if you simply stop pretending that credentials can not be validated. It then follows that 5 angry narcissist anons do not equal in value a professor.

Then you can further simplify if you employ expert moderators who have the final say in everything. The infinite size discussions back stage serve no purpose.

I bet people had tons of ideas for other improvements. (think: A distributed system with fancy api's for the robot overlords.)
Come up with their own privacy-focused computer and mobile OS, and mobile devices, really. I don’t think that browsers can survive as standalone software anymore. We’ve come to a point where default browsers are so tightly integrated with smartphone or computer OSes that a browser by itself offers too little value without integration. It’s going to be expensive, but they can compete with Linux distros that try to do the same but which all cannot gain any traction, polish, and long-term support.
What is it about this topic that drives people absolutely crazy? Far less than 1% of people ID as trans yet it's just the most important cultural shibboleth and just mentioned / argued about constantly... why do you care at all how Wikipedia phrases the opening paragraph on their page about Trans women?
> and carries advertisements for local businesses.

Which makes it a business interest; they are beholden to businesses for survival, and businesses are generally backers of the state. Being beholden to those forces and the need to make money limits the range of interesting things a traditional station can engage in.

I would agree with OP, though. The utility I get from broadcasters is so low that I would support rolling the commercial wavelengths into the non-commercial one just to see if someone can do something more interesting with it. The current approach to the spectrum seems to have run its course.

I will certainly acknowledge that I don't consume any radio which colors that view, though that's not a weird situation these days. I hate radio enough that I'd rather actually pay for cell data to play my own stuff than listen to radio for free.

> There are plenty of other, open broadcast mechanisms to use out there.

Not with the qualities of radio. It's geographically scoped, every car has a built-in receiver for it, it's free listening is communal/simultaneous, and it's difficult to censor (relative to something centrally managed like YouTube).

Various combinations of those properties give interesting possibilities that are much harder to replicate via Twitch or YouTube or IceCast.
It's not a fringe assertion on the left.
I guess it shows who's really in power. Which shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone, but keeps tripping people up.

Same way that people keep forgetting youtube videos aren't free or public, or that social media have no obligation to be impartial or protect freedom of spreech.
Spamming applications doesn't work. You usually need some sort of connection to the company even if its tenuous.
This model gets implemented, and then the comments section is littered with "I prefer when I didn't need to pay for software upgrades and backward compatibility!"
as is excit.ing :)
I don't think I've ever posted any articles on Lobsters, but there are a bunch of users there that use the "report" feature any time that they see a post that doesn't support their own personal opinion. That aspect of the site does get old, fast.

But most of the users there are cool. Unfortunately, it only takes a few bad users to make the experience of posting uncomfortable.
I generally agree with you. I would appreciate it if the youtubers that do these would just add the list to the text box they write in anyway. That would help a great deal, since all of it would be right there.

Visuals can be useful. I had to look at one just this morning tearing down an old HP Elitebook 8470p. Here I was removing all kinds of screws, when it's just a battery release sliders move, then the entire panel just slides off. doh.

But, most of the time, I just need the list. I don't need a video of someone stepping through some arcane, obscure and rarely needed AD repair. Just gimme the steps and I'll take it from there. :)
Even being evil requires a certain level of competence. It's how we actually catch any of them.
It was wrong. Only charlatans pretend that shouting about something that wasn't going to happen stopped the thing from happening.
This is not true. iMessage hasn't been declared a core service by the EU. This takes seconds to Google.
The other thing is that many forecasts have a large range. So it might be that the left third of the forecast area has like a 99.9% chance of zero precipitation, the right third has a 99.9% chance of some precipitation, and there is some uncertainly about where the border will be, (and near the border might have less precipitation than the edge).

The result is that I will be told ~50% chance of precipitation, but the places I care about might well be in the essentially 0% or essentially 100% parts.

The single forecast for a decent size city problem impacts other parts like forecasted highs/low. Even without a front, in some cities that have incorporated much of their suburbs, it is not uncommon for the eastmost part and westmost part to differ by 5-6 degrees, and that is ignoring the inherent temperature differences found in the downtown areas.
>Sounds like an absolute treasure trove for a life insurance company. Or, would you disagree?

Disagree. Life insurance companies already requir blood tests and urine tests before insuring a consumer. They already have this data

...and they would still display as green bubbles, I presume having trained iPhone users that they're bad and to be avoided.
it's possible to get <1us with Optane PMem (the dimms) in fio, you just need to use the memory-specific engines so that it avoids the fs/block layer.

This lame google registry page just reminds me how pissed I am at them for selling Google domains.
I think the target personas is different. While they might have the same capabilities, but the job-to-be-done is different.

openllmetry is focus on engineers, who wants to use this as more of a piping solution and it sits on top of opentelemtry. While opentelemetry is a popular solution. It is just applying a solution to a new problem.

OpenLayers to me is thinking from the ML/AI problems from ground up and while serving the data scientists and probably prompt engineers.
This sounds very much like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The Mozilla board might be largely incompetent and/or corrupt, but they aren't actively trying to steal your data to profit from, and Firefox is still genuinely a less user-hostile product than Chrome.
Yeah. It's simply too juicy to pursue policies that artificially make cost of using petroleum lower. Many elections have been won and lost based on when fuel prices increased or decreased. This means incentives will never be what they should be to be efficient with use of gasoline.

> SMS access is used to send an SMS text message from your number to Apple’s “Gateway” service. The gateway sends a response via SMS, and the contents from that SMS response are sent to Apple to register your phone number as a blue bubble. Your SMS chat history is also used to determine if any of your recent SMS chats were with people who have iPhones. If so, these chats are shown in the inbox.

Does this mean that Apple is sent the phone number of every person you have ever sent or received an SMS with?

Very cool program, by the way. It’s refreshing to see a company take privacy seriously.
Some explanation from Stripe Press about the free, online version being made available...

"But with the news of Charlie’s death at the age of 99 last Tuesday, November 28, this work has taken on a new significance for all of us. ... Charlie's words are immortal, and they deserve to be shared far and wide. So we’re especially excited to share a free, online version of the book. It includes archival images from Charlie’s life, audio narration, and some other surprises. We hope that you enjoy it—and that it helps you, to quote Charlie, "be a little wiser than you were when you woke up.”"
>Otherwise any random social media influencer could be included if they publish their content in various formats.

I have yet to hear a compelling reason why this would be a bad thing. Are you able to expand on why?
They are still at +10% over 1 month and +25% over 3 months.

Might work, might not. If someone keeps their cell phone silenced in their pocket, unless you're strip searching you won't know it's there. Does the customer have some app on it listening to the environment and using some kind of voice identification to figure out who's there. Do you have smart TVs up on the walls at this place, because hell, they're probably monitoring you too.

And that's only for cell phones. We are coming to the age where there is no such thing as an inanimate object. Anything could end up being a spying device feeding data back to some corporation.
All BMW, Mercedes, et. al. are doing is creating a market for someone to come in and eat their lunch.

The way things are going BYD will be able to come in next year and make a killing.
Give it time. As Wikipedia has become more and more obsessed with being "encyclopedic", I've noticed that they are increasingly ending up with articles that are stripped of any useful information.
It's a fine social or political stance, but it's purely those.
Clicking the first link, woman :
A trans woman (short for transgender woman) is a woman ->
Woman : A woman is an adult female human. ->
Female : An organism's sex is female (symbol: ) if it produces the ovum (egg cell).
As far as I know that's not the case.
Well, we do have the GRE, MCAT, LSAT, GMAT...

There were also originally more than a dozen GRE subject tests, but with the discontinuation of the chemistry subject test this year only three remain (math, physics, psychology.)
In my experience they make sure a ton more in industry than in academia.
You Do Not Need a Vector Database (For RAG): Benchmarking IR Methods
The document retrieval problem for RAG is basically a case for information retrieval
and there are simpler solutions to do so. Vector embeddings are still useful,
but they should be used in a later stage of the IR pipeline and not as the
first stage retrieval, for which there are simpler and more performant solutions.

"E2E" is a joke when Apple holds the encryption keys to the vast majority of all messages, and uses them to respond to law enforcement requests. (It's how iCloud backup works by default and we know people don't change defaults. This is documented by Apple, not a conspiracy theory.)
It works for train vandalism - why wouldn't it work on industrial scale?

For example, someone stole active train parts: https://orzeczenia.gdansk-poludnie.sr.gov.pl/content/$N/1510...
I can't answer for Beeper, but why would they be unnecessarily antagonistic to Apple? It's not related to their product or mission. Beeper offers interoperability. Antagonism is an undesired byproduct of any of this work, and it's immature to be antagonistic for no reason.

Will it be a cat-and-mouse game? Maybe. Will users stay? Probably. In many cases, Beeper users already WERE iMessage users. Beeper users ARE Discord users. They are users of the upstream service and explicitly want a unified and interoperable chat system, for one reason or another. Maybe it's more practicality than ideals, but it's all the same in the end.

That said, it's not like Beeper is new, and it doesn't seem like antagonism is a primary driver of operational issues yet, so it's not clear it's about to start any time soon, either. Perhaps one of the most annoying tech company strategies is to try to establish a horrid status quo before regulators and law enforcement have time to catch up with you, making it much harder to actually do anything about. I see Beeper as one of a small number of companies that are basically on the opposite end; if they gain a large enough mass of users, it's going to be harder and harder to antagonize Beeper without antagonizing their own userbase, especially when you consider that the value of IM networks is largely in the connections between users. So, the clock is ticking.
Apple's walled garden has a lot of visitors, and everyone on iOS is forced to use Safari.
I could make this in a weekend.

Also, yeah, when something isn’t perfect and someone latches onto the how and why it’s such an awful design or decision, how incompetent, I wouldn’t trust my business to someone who operates like this, etc.

It can be brutal. I still prefer HN to many other places on the internet, but sometimes critique here is excessively negative and not constructive at all. Even so, it’s not all bad. I wouldn’t post my personal projects here, though.
Ahem... Boeing 737 MAX, which was literal murder.
Here's the thing: working hard doesn't just benefit your employer. It also benefits you because you'll learn new skills rapidly.

If your employer doesn't recognize the value you're adding, don't just sit around hoping for a raise someday. Use your new skills to find one who will. At least in my experience (as an engineer in the US), this is relatively easy and is considered a normal thing to do in one's career.
Could they just require the client to send over the Apple logo, which is trademarked, like Nintendo did with the GameBoy?
Ah, it’s a langchain competitor, possibly with better DB support.

One of the nice things about langchain is the code examples, making it easy to get simple services up and running. And because it’s a toolkit I can take what I need and leave the rest.

However, the ecosystem around langchain is really exploding, is there some way you can retool what you have to extend langchain with better DB support, rather than build your own thing?
A talent was a weight. Assuming it was of silver, a talent of silver would be worth about $19,500 today.
No, but most SMS-based 2fa is linked to my voip number, which then requires 2fa stored in a password manager.
Watch a soap opera from Latin America. The actors' faces are lit from every direction to remove shadows. And they are backlit to make them "pop". In other words, to make them stand out from the background.

To my eye, interpolation does the exact same thing. It's like they used too many lights and it makes the layers of depth in the shot "separate" from each other and look flat. It makes the whole shot look completely fake to my eye.
I believe that’s accounted for in these numbers, no? Wheel to wheel efficiency I believe is all losses between source and moving the car, although it’s unclear if WTW includes transportation costs for fuels (id imagine yes based on the name but would require further reading)
I don't see how that is the divide here.

You could have a command economy work people into the ground and you can have a market economy work people into the ground. The same holds true for limiting working hours.
> On an unrelated note, I've always thought the big problem is their market is too narrow. These companies should deliver literally anything that can fit in a passenger car. One example I know of is that auto shops do not keep parts for every car in the shop all the time. They contract out to parts warehouses. Those warehouses have employees which deliver your new carburetor to the auto shop that's installing it. There's no reason your Uber driver can't pick up pasta and a carburetor.

Looking at the Uber app, under Delivery > Services it actually looks like they do purport to offer delivery for basically anything. Groceries, Alcohol, Pharmacy, Flowers etc. I have never once tried it or met anyone who has. Maybe I'll give it a shot tho.
i get the feeling that we agree in principle but not in effect, i can live with that.
I think part of this is how society consumes information.
In the 80s, you mostly had books. Sure, there were some video courses, but a majority of the learning was through books.

Now, people consume most of their information in video formats. Think about the rise of Vine, Youtube, TikTok, and the 100s of others out there just like them.

They are growing like weeds, because that's apparently how the public now likes to consume media, info, etc.
Since you're in the weeds with traceroute you might appreciate this one (if you haven't seen it already):

I started to look into hosting my own Lemmy instance to have full control over my data and not have to worry about a server shutting down, but after seeing it takes 2-3 docker instances, I decided not to worry about it and let someone else do it.
From bitter experience: if you have well established subject matter expertise on a topic, you should almost certainly not be writing Wikipedia articles about it. In Wikipedia's framing, you are a generator of primary and secondary sources. Wikipedia is a tertiary source: it is exclusively a roadmap to other, more authoritative sources. Instead of writing Wikipedia articles, write the articles Wikipedia will end up drawing from.

It's quite painful to directly edit Wikipedia articles on your own areas of expertise. You have context lay readers don't have, and you'll often leave things implicit or skip steps, because you know that laying those steps out and citing every detail of them isn't helpful for learning & understanding. But the encyclopedia doesn't work that way: the community there can't tell the difference between sensible elisions done in the spirit of efficient explanation, and original research that simply takes an opinion you hold idiosyncratically or fractiously and mints an encyclopedia article out of them.

It's also going to be deeply suspicious, for very good reasons that don't apply to you but do apply to like 70% of all other cases, any time you write something and cite yourself.

It is also just the case that not everyone should commit themselves to writing whole Wikipedia articles. I found the process pretty unhealthy; it sucked me in, to be sure, but it also filled my time with rules lawyering and squabbles. It'd be easy to criticize Wikipedia for having that culture, except that the project is so spectacularly successful.

As the quote in the original article doesn't mention CSAM but rather child pornography, I think it is relevant to talk about the difference between these terms.

The term of CSAM (Child sexual abuse material) was introduced to (IMHO reasonably) intentionally change the focus from pornography - linking it with legal forms of pornography - towards the key issue that this material is provided through horrific criminal abuse of children.

However, if we're talking about AI generated images then they indicate a difference. They could be properly described as child pornography, as they are pornographic images involving children, but they aren't really CSAM, as no actual sexual abuse was involved - so perhaps it's time to start treating those as separate terms, separate classes of material which share some similarities (and in some aspects should be treated the same) but have meaningful differences, and in some aspects should be treated differently.

The self-promotion on lobsters is rampant, and not surprisingly, most of the self-promotion is very low quality crap.

However, I have seen a few self-promotion links that were brilliant, so I have some mixed feelings on the topic.

I don't have any answers, but I definitely can spot the problems.
Search engines (before themselves ironically succumbing to the vampire octopus) solved this issue of visibility by making a pull-based model rather than the push-down-your-throat-based model of advertising. I'm with the parents on this one, I see all advertising is spam because it's trying to insert itself into my life.

Sounds like you stayed to long with one company. Learn new role, work for few months and jump to another company to the new role, new level and new salary.
