I don't agree - modern NVME drives have secure erasure mechanisms. All data is by default encrypted on-the-fly within the flash memory, and when requesting a secure erase, the controller throws away the key and generates a new one.

yeah...also has a single country/group of countries have had such a big market, so many dependencies the rest of the world relies on and the some of the only major population growth rates? Would a collapse of this kind of a system even be possible? I guess anything is possible.
I pay for ChatGPT to get the option to avoid the promt history and training on my promts. If there is a way to do this for free, I'd love to know about it. The article does not seem to take it into account.
This particular chip is very slow, so definitely not. However Sophgo are going to switch the cores to using SiFive P670 in the next iteration (SG2380) and those cores have much faster single thread performance.
I agree in principle, but I don't think industries should be looking at current-day Boeing's engineering practices except for an example of how a proud company's culture can rot from the inside out with fatal consequences.

Is there any open source implementation of VBA one can add to some application with limited effort? I'm thinking about adding macro-like functionality to one of my business applications and VBA would be the best, considering my users and Excel users intersect pretty well.

It's not safe at all. In my country there are many people who have destroyed their brains using it. I would say even drugs like cocaine are safer.
That's RELU, which clearly belongs to the realm of AI. Dangerous stuff.
Hmm I don't recall any game where the object was to to break into a safe... There was Quadralien, where you control robots to repair the central solar system reactor "Astra", which has begun to break down. You have to repair circuits and clean up the radiation leaks before the station blows.

The next closest I could think of is Infestation (one of Psygnosis' lesser known games), where you are sent to investigate a space colony that has been wiped out by an alien life form. Even getting into the station itself before running out of oxygen is a challenge.

I'm not sure you could find twenty clones of humans.
> Once you factor in inflation, wages have hardly risen in comparison to productivity.

Which stands to reason. We have continually increased overall productivity by adding more workers (notably robots), not by individually becoming more productive. If you double productivity by doubling the workforce, when you divide up the fruits each worker still ends up with the same amount.

We saw wage growth during the transition away from our primarily agrarian economy, but that's because wages were largely not a thing in said agrarian economy. People sold things (crops, livestock, etc.), not their time. As people started to leave the farm to work in the factory, wages, which were previously zero, had nowhere else to go but up.

But now that most everyone sells their time, we've achieve peak wage. As you point out, any apparent wage growth going forward will simply be in alignment with inflation.

> The reality is that the wage level is the intersection what an employee thinks they can get and what the employer thinks they can get away with

While that is definitely true, given enough time and negotiation (of which we have had plenty for most jobs) wages will converge on the productivity the worker is providing. So while you can most definitely cherry-pick individuals who have wages below their productivity and individuals who have wages above their productivity, the overall market ultimately settles where wages and productivity meet.
Your problem is thiotimoline sounds too much like thalidomide, the thing that made the FDA proud of their excessively strict medication regulations.
Ever since (custom) GPTs got released last month, GPT-4 has become pretty much unusable around 2/3 of the time, performance-wise. Tons of network errors.

So, no, it's no longer worth it. At least not until they free up resources for paying customers by moving those useless, resource-consuming toys somewhere else.
The other thing to look at is the affiliations. All these people work for https://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/ i.e. they are working for a HPC facility attached to a university.
>> The safety issues and staffing levels have been an issue since Reagan fired the PATCO ATC workers.

This seems to be you shoehorning in political beliefs. You can't analyze a situation by taking a list things done by politicians you don't like and picking out the ones with the same keywords.

It's not reasonable to blame a recent 65% year over year increase in safety events to an event that happened 42 years ago. Federal Air Traffic Control was created 45 years before Reagan's firings, so they've had as much time to recover from Reagan that as they had to get to wherever they were when Reagan came along.
I could understand Microsoft and OpenAI may have special contract. However, developers who use open sourced model are excluded to this special contract, and should follow the Term of Use. So this models work like the trap for violation.
I'd like you to elaborate on what you expect to happen if Israel continues its military campaign. 20k Palestinians have already been killed, and most people in Gaza have been rendered homeless. Everyone there is struggling to obtain the basic necessities of life, such as food, water and shelter. If Israel continues its campaign, how many more Palestinians will be killed, and how much more destruction will be done to Gaza? Will any building in Gaza be left standing? What do you think Israel plans to do to the millions of refugees it has created in Gaza over the last two months?

Looking further ahead, what do you think the consequences of continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories (East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza) will be? Can you justify keeping millions of people under continued military occupation, without any rights and under constant harassment? Can you justify the continuation of the dual legal regime in the occupied territories, under which Jewish settlers have full citizenship rights, while Palestinians have no rights (this is what many now characterize as Apartheid)?

I didn't use Bing much but in my experience, it's a lot harder to achieve what I want. For example, it almost always search the web for an answer which is a hit or miss for me.

If you want to use GPTs or to generate images with Dall-E then ChatGPT Plus is a no brainer I guess.

But if your focus is on GPT-4 then I highly recommend to use an API instead.

There are multiple pros of using an API Key:

- You pay for your usages. I've been using API Key exclusively and most of the time, it cost me around $5-$10 a month

- Your data is not used for training. This is important for a privacy-minded user like me. Though you can disable this in ChatGPT (but you will lose chat history)

- No message limit. Though there are rate limits to prevent abuse but generally, you do not have the message limit like the ChatGPT

- You can choose previous GPT models. In my experience, `gpt-4-0314` was the peak gpt-4 model.

Depends on the applications, you can also get these:

- Access to multiple AI services: OpenAI, Azure or OpenRouter

- Build custom AI workflows

- Voice search & text-to-speech etc.

- Deeper integrations with other apps & services

There are also a few cons:

- No GPTs support yet

- If you use Dall E a lot then ChatGPT plus is more affordable. Generating images using Dall E API can be quite expensive

Edit: Some tips when using an API Key:

- You pay for tokens used (basically how long your question & AI's answers). The price per chat message is not expensive, but usually you will need to send the whole conversation to OpenAI, which makes it expensive. Make sure to pick an app that allows you to limit the chat context.

- Don't use GPT-4 for tasks that doesn't require deeper reasoning capabilities. I find that GPT-3.5 turbo is still very good at simple tasks like: grammar fixes, improve your writing, translations ...

- Use different system prompts for different tasks: for example, I have a special prompt for coding tasks, and a different system prompt for writing tasks. It usually give a much better result.

Torvalds liked to code on planes back when you couldn't use the internet and that's just about the only use-case I've ever heard where I agree distributed makes sense.

Kids these days can't even code at all without chat-GPT, there's a central server hosting the git repo anyway, the whole architecture feels like it was designed for dial-up.

I can't think of anything that was doable 30 years ago compute and bandwidth-wise, that we can't do today due to performance reasons, except client-server source control...
>There is no such entity as ‘mild cardio injury’ and I suggest you stop spreading nonsense. Pilots already have strict medical guidance for health and unexplained syncope is not something that is hand-waved away.

A PR interval greater than 0.2 is considered "First-Degree Atrioventricular Block" (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/...), which "occurs as a consequence of disease in the AV node and is common in older patients." How does something indicating disease in the atrioventricular node not constitute mild cardiac injury? According to that page: "Recent data from the Framingham cohort suggest that in the long term, patients with first-degree AV block have a significantly higher risk of requiring pacemaker implantation and have a higher mortality rate." Would not this increased risk of severe events also constitute an increased risk of mild events like temporarily fainting?

>Pilots already have strict medical guidance for health and unexplained syncope is not something that is hand-waved away.

Those strict guidelines were made less strict in 2022 by increasing the cutoff for PR interval, and the following year we're seeing an increase in flight incidents.
The custom GPTs are convenient. Instead of digging through my collection of prompts for different tasks, I just click one of my custom GPTs that has been preinstructed.

I used to work as a teacher in a kind of bootcamp. Over the years my my view on teaching has changed massively. I think there are only two generic things and the rest is situation dependent.

- There is just no way around the struggle. The students have to struggle. Your job is not to take the struggle away but to show them why it is worth struggling and instil the belief that they can do it.

- The most important teaching skill is to level with them. Talk about how difficult it was for you to understand it, what helped you. Never put yourself above them. I honestly believe this is where most people fundamentally fail. Respect them. Don’t treat them like babies. Forced attendance is imo the worst symptom of this.
Fruits and veggies are fresh[0]. We don't cook meat & fish ourselves. Refrigerated stuff comes in a special cold bag with ice; frozen stuff comes in a special box with insulation and dry ice.

We're old, so discovery is not a big issue — we explore other things; weekly shopping is much more about exploitation[1]. (being able to start from last week's baseline online is a big win over manual shopping, and to some degree we get exploration anyway, as the store always adds in freebies of items they'd like us to try)

Finally, we're not in an anglophone country, so delivery (and removal of the special containers afterwards) is done by a combination of (a) the postal service, (b) transport companies, and (c) employees of the store. All covered by at least union-negotiated baselines; all with insurance and much more than 2 weeks paid vacation; all paid decently[2]. No "independent contractors".

[0] if we cared more, we'd get them at the Friday farmers' market.

[1] we are eating to live, not living to eat

[2] just looked it up: transport employees are USD ~60k/yr, postal carriers ~67k/yr, so the store is probably in that range.

The author writes about himself:

> Hi! I'm a PhD student studying computer science at Rice University.

This means that we are on the same career path (I am currently an assistant professor in theoretical CS in Europe). I wish you of course best of luck!

Here is the harshest truth about teaching I learned during my PhD:

If you are focusing on teaching too much, you are setting yourself up for failure.

This sounds cruel, and in fact I am much like you, I love teaching and I love self-improvement and it is quite easy for me to invest time into my teaching prep, presentation, and more and see measurable results in class quality and usually also student feedback.

However, at least in my neck of the woods (i.e. Europe), almost all gates and gatekeepers for you as a PhD student, and later postdoc, are checking your research. At some places they really do expect you to have K publications in the top 3 CS conferences or you will not be considered at all -- and it seems these thresholds are only getting higher. Here I mean for example invitation-only workshops, postdoc positions with top advisors, and later also permanent positions.

On the other hand, if you are a talented scientist, they usually only care that your teaching skills are at the bare minimum -- have you taught something? Yes? Great.

Now orator/presentation skills are critical and presenting a coherent lecture plan might be useful for a final presentation at an interview for a permanent position. But even there, it is more about you knowing what you want to teach and how it complements the department than about your past achievements (i.e., how much you have put in a course previously).

My PhD advisor usually said that he likes to dig into teaching when research is not going well. I agree with that -- teaching really is fulfilling to me and I love to improve my class and see people happy with it, and research is all about global ranking (which is tough on anyone's psyche) and generating progress which is the fun part but sometimes takes a long time. However, at your stage of your career, the research really can't go slow.

---

PS: If the author reads this, since it is a self-post, your class sounds really nice and it is actually one I would have loved to attend. My research is in online algorithms -- a field which you can rephrase as seeing some theoretical problems as two player games between a solver and an adversary -- and among other things I would like to consider utilizing all the techniques of chess solvers (which cannot evaluate the game fully, but "almost") and transfer it to other areas of online algorithms.
Show HN: Scheduling with a Late Fee
Hey everyone, I wanted to share something I've been working on: BuddyOk.

At it's core it's a event scheduling app. What makes BuddyOk different is that it introduces a little skin in the game to keep everyone on their toes. We're talking a small (or big, you decide) monetary stake to keep things on schedule, because let's face it, we all know someone who could use that extra nudge to show up on time.

You set the late fees how you see fit: a base charge plus any additional fees you want to pile on for every few more minutes someone is running behind. And if you're organizing, you can choose whether those fees apply just to guests or to you as well.

To add a feel-good angle, a slice of those tardy penalties goes straight to charity. A small way to turn those "Oops, I'm late again" moments into something positive for the community.

That's BuddyOk — schedule events with a monetary stake to encourage (or gently prod) everyone to be on time.

Whether it's gym buddies, or home service providers, contractors ensuring vendors show up on time, friends who find humor and motivation in friendly stakes. The list goes on.

You feedback is encouraged and welcome! More features to come assuming interest.

https://buddyok.app

Thanks for reading :)

PS. I guess this is my spin on Pieter Levels' https://gofuckingdoit.com/

Full disclaimer: The percentage that goes to charity and which charity is still undecided. Your feedback here would be greatly appreciated but bear in mind, I have to eat lol. Also I've been kind disoriented off by this whole anti-effective-altruism, pro-e/acc thing that happened as I was finishing off this app.
You havent understood my point.

> Nothing compares to the secrecy of password.

Because they are soley internal to you.

Yes, you can generate passkeys at will ... and then you give them away to a usb dongle or HSM, from which some day you might not be able to export them, because vendors love their locked in customers.

I am talking about control and yes, my concerns are speculation but reasonable to me, when you look at pretty much all the recent development. From not-WEI over DRM, to right to repair and on and on.
It’s designed so that you can pair two together, or one with a controller; I think they talked about this motivation back when they announced it.

Transitivity of trust is controversial, so I am sceptical of systems
that aim to unburden most participants from having to manage
individual trust relations and emerging a set of leader/deciders and a
larger passive group of followers. Not sure how Appleseed or the
proposed TrustNet overlay solves this.

Also I don't think there's much hope for one-size-fits-all solutions
to trust tracking. Some applications are slow and iterative, like the
evolution of reputation in communities, and they must allow for
redemption. Others are critical, where even a single, brief defection
would be a disaster. I guess this one is aimed at social media chat.

The lack of automation is causing ATC work to be stressful. People orchestrating complex procedures over a shared vhf radio channel is inherently hard and error prone. Which is why it involves people endlessly confirming and double checking known bits of information.

Automation could simplify that a lot and remove a lot of the uncertainty. Making communications easier might save some lives. A lot of accidents are caused by human pilots and typically that involves them making mistakes in stressful situations. Dealing with ATC is very stressful for pilots. Task saturation is something they all fight throughout their career. IFR pilots have to train and fly a lot to stay current; the ability to keep up with the radio communication and fly procedures safely is quickly lost when they don't. That's how hard it is. A pilot that is not current is not a safe pilot. That's why the rules are so strict for this.

If you look at this space from a distance, it's kind of obvious that more automation is going to be inevitable. Airspaces are busy now and they are going to get a lot more busy in the next decades. At least part of the traffic is going to be autonomous. Those planes will likely be communicating with ATC via networked protocols that have yet to be proposed and standardized. There is no reason why those protocols could not work with other planes. And it would free up ATC staff and pilots to do more urgent things. The way ATC is currently done is not scalable or future proof.
kudos for perpetual license. app looks neat. non-techy question: how do you ensure users their keys are safe?
