Probably related to whatever reason the site was moved in the first place, but regardless an internal Google deadline is unlikely to be met with anything other than "so what, fix RSS first" in this thread.

The majority of corporate deadlines are fictional in the sense that there is not a regulatory or legislative component to them, so it's easy to hand-wave them away and say that $THING should be a higher priority than the deadline. But that doesn't make them any less real for the people who have that deadline imposed by their boss (or more realistically, their boss's boss's boss's boss).

I'd be very interested in someone pointing the TOS to see if this is explicitly blocked.

IMO: If Hacker News doesn't want this kind of thing, it should be explicitly called out in the TOS. Otherwise, they don't have much of a leg to stand on. (Except by blocking these kinds of things server-side.)

Just a Pydantic model to define an extraction schema + a simple prompt works reasonably well.
It would still make sense to give a number or a range.
That's true, but I see my friend who's an ML researcher, and his grasp of LLMs is an order of magnitude better than mine. Granted, when it comes to making a product out of it, I'm in a much better position, but for specific knowledge about how they work, their capabilities, etc, there's no contest.
Toxic air divides Delhi between poverty and privilege
Everything you said might well be true, and indeed as far as I know it is, but aircraft should not have fail-deadly systems which require lightning reflexes and up-to-the-second training to diagnose and disable fast enough before they crash the freaking plane in the first place. Yes, the pilots of the affected flights might have been able to save the aircraft if their training had been just that little bit better. We'll never know. But the real blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Boeing for shipping such a ticking time bomb in the first place.

Which is why the entire worldwide MAX fleet was grounded for more than a year, and the regulators didn't just mandate a bit of extra training.

Coming up with this narrative about how it's the crew's fault because they failed to disable Boeing's quietly introduced little self-destruct system fast enough to save their own lives was a particularly despicable move from their PR department and I lost a lot of respect for them over that.
Best of 2023 in MuratBuffalo Distributed/Database Systems Blog
Most authors of published work fall over themselves to provide links or sources to their material.

I suspect you are either not proud of your published work, or providing a link or examples would diminish rather than strengthen your position in this debate. It's easy to argue about morals and social contracts if you've published a literary work; less so if, for example, it winds up being a fan DnD extension module on DriveThruRPG.

Someone is querying your credentials to learn about you, where you're coming from, what perspective you have, what skin you have, so to speak, in the game. Dodging behind some notion of having to "earn" your credentials when you have taken a very strong and contrarian position is disingenuous.
Attacking journalists as terrorists
I suspect that the emphasis is an artifact when the Dragon Book was written - getting a decent parser was rather more of a challenge, and heavily optimising compilers a lot less common.

Tis one of those things, I guess.
Friendly reminder that in 2023 ~90% of consumer internet traffic is done on a mobile device. Us power users and people pretending to work in their cubicles use desktops a ton (though both groups also use their smartphones extensively). Best practice is to design for mobile-first, especially if you're trying to optimize for search. Google now indexes with mobile usability priority, too.

ETA: That said, it works pretty well on mobile for me. Not sure if you made any changes in the last 3 hours (:

Rust is doing something even more subtle here than just making the hash function a container property. There are two inter-related Rust traits, Hash is a trait which types implement to explain abstractly how to hash that type, but it's written in terms of a Hasher trait so you can drop in a different function with the same API. The Rust standard library provides a derive macro for Hash, so most people can just gesture vaguely at their custom type and have it hashed correctly for any hash functions they need. The naïve approach here easily ends up doing a bad job either colliding hashes for correlated objects in a surprising way or emitting different hashes for equivalent objects because people who make a user defined type probably aren't hashing experts.
`valueOf` and `toString` are indeed fairly complex (and it's fun to consider when both are implemented ;-), but less of concern for tracing JIT engines because you can have efficient type-specialized implementations for most cases. Type specialization in Python is not that huge win...

Good for you - it means that your thesis is one of these that get referred to.

I did not need that because most of what I was writing about was hardly documented (neural networks and genetic algorithms in the '90s) but I can imagine (having done my thesis at CERN) that having all accelerator and detector information in one place is useful.
Hugo's speed is largely from Go.

My problem with Hugo is how the templating becomes very confusing and the flow convoluted. The projects required places for various things becomes a maze, especially if you are not familiar with the site and theme you are working on.

I definitely prefer JSX to Hugo, but this project might be a nice middle ground.

Wow … I figured out a great trick to compress the custom instructions!!!

The potential benefit of this new approach is that (a) it causes ChatGPT to only load the instructions once per chat, instead of prepending them to every message, which can save token space, and (b) the length of the custom instructions is not limited by the 1500 character limit - it can be as long as the instructions on the target page.

Instead of adding my custom instructions just add this text below as your Custom Instruction:

“If you did not already do this yet in this chat session before this, then you must first use web browser to read https://tinyurl.com/app and then print “Custom Instructions loaded” and learn the instructions and use them to interpret any //N commands in this chat.”

UPDATE - it seems that ChatGPT has some policies in place that limit it from using more than 90 words from a web page it fetches. I am investigating this to see if I can find a way around it....

There was clearly someone in Google management who decided that RSS could be broken.

I think you should be able to do it out of the box if you just keep sending the tokens, and after that ask the GPT "is there a mistake? Respond with just "yes" or "no". Why does there have to be something like a "null" token?

However it might seem expensive yes, but at least it only has to respond with one token.
Depends on if they know how to use it. A lot of people still think it's just a google and wikipedia replacement. It doesn't really do anything super useful in that case.
Opening a draft email takes me a minimum of 3 clicks and this takes no more than 1. I had never bothered to optimize this myself, but I love it.
ELO takes a while to establish. It does not sound likely that the newer GPT3.5 is that much worse than the old one that has a clear gap to all the non proprietary models. In the immediate test, GPT-3.5 clearly outshines these models.
Scaling Services with Virtual Threads
I have been torn between wearing mechanical watches and smart watches. I don't need/want/like notifications on my wrist, but I really enjoy the activity and heart rate tracking of the Apple Watch.

I have been reluctantly wearing a Samsung Withings watch that looks mechanical but is actually smart, but a mediocre compromise (you need to wear it higher up the wrist than I usually do, and I don't believe it gives accurate heart rate and activity measurements). 30 day battery life is pretty cool though.

I may just start going back to my Vostok and Seiko watches full time at this point. (I don't like spending a lot of money on watches, anyone who is curious on getting into them should check out both brands as economical starters - the Vostok Amphibia has a storied history!)

Components, development cost, a small market, and profiteering.

You’re talking about a hardened appliance meant to store encryption keys, sign transactions with those keys, and resist disclosure of the keys even if an attacker physically steals the device and, for instance, tries to retrieve the keys from something like an xray analysis of the chip.

At the time i wrote that, I did not understand that was behind the "learn more" button. However, if their data retention policy is accurate, even clicking "disagree to all" means they will retain data that individually identifies their users and they exchange this data with other brokers. This is strictly against the letter and spirit of the GDPR, opening them up to the possibility of massive fines.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, right? Texas has been that way for decades, and yet it’s a major destination for people leaving “more liberal states.” California was never as Christian, but it was solidly red through the 1980s, and was a major destination at that time as well. Same thing for Virginia, through the 1990s.

When my parents came to this country, they chose to live in a Virginia county that was so red a Democrat wouldn’t even run for the Congressional seat in some cycles. They could’ve moved next door to liberal Maryland, but they didn’t. I’ve never gotten a satisfactory explanation for that.
> Google Reader is often cited as the best RSS Reader but was killed

1. Google Reader was not necessarily the best reader. The anger and frustration with the handling of Google Reader lies in the fact that Google Reader was the first reader from a major tech company. That essentially killed all the other innovation in this space and then Google Reader was itself killed in such a short span that there wasn’t an opportunity to have a smooth transition for the entire industry with it.

2. The one spade that did see a lot of competition growth and innovation were off-web RSS clients (precisely because Google Reader wasn’t a player in this space). But even these were completely handicapped by the elimination of Google Reader because Google Reader has become the de facto syncing solution for your RSS list and read states, etc. Again, the short time between announcement and end of life meant many of the popular clients couldn’t find a smooth transition for their users.

3. Google Reader had a social network effect component where someone could publish RSS articles they were reading and others could subscribe to their feed. In this sense it almost acted as an alternative to Twitter. The Twitter implosion has shown exactly how hard it is for alternatives to a social network to arise (because you invariably get many alternatives and it’s hard to get everyone onto one).

And the RSS reader social network space was nascent so the fragmentation as a result of the destruction of Google Reader meant a lot of people migrated to Twitter instead (Google had hoped they would migrate to Google+ instead but Google+ was awful so that didn’t happen).

How Relational Algebra powers Klaro Cards
This is very similar to what I was coming to post. There is very little mathematics taught in k-12 in the US. There are almost no proofs taught, there is a lack of mathematical thinking taught. My classes personally were done as a series of rote memorization steps to perform before putting it into the calculator. The mathematical logic, proof, rigor, and how to create a model is what is needed and that is missing. The specific courses taught don't matter as much if they aren't taught correctly.

We can't, the technical capability ensures it will be used.

Does anyone really think the world mostly stop fossil fuel extraction? The political pain required in the short term is too high; the incentives to continue extraction are too high. Sure, there will be some gains, in terms of transitioning to more renewable energy, but that will just mean more overall economic growth (more energy in the economy), as opposed to less extraction overall.

In the U.S., for example, the upcoming election will be based on "inflation" more than anything else. In other words, short term economic gain is a primary determinant of policy.

Maybe all of us should be pessimistic. Maybe more people should be rioting. Or at least, demanding real change.
I think it fits right in. It can go along with the Crypto hypers, the AI evangelists. Maybe sub-prime securities. In fact for that matter big consultancy can go in there too.
All of the SMSes that iPhone users send and receive are backed up nightly automatically via iCloud Backup, which is NOT end to end encrypted, and is completely readable by Apple. They provide it to the US government without a warrant frequently, something like data on over 70,000 users each year (per their own annual transparency report). The number is even bigger if you include the times they turn it over with warrants.

The iCloud Backup also includes the “Messages in iCloud” cross-device synchronization keys, so it is indeed true that Apple can read all of the iMessages. It’s not end to end encryption if the endpoint devices sync their endpoint keys to the middle transit service.

Apple’s own knowledge base article HT202303 is very clear on these points.

Note also that enabling e2ee for iCloud (currently opt in, and very buggy) does not protect you, as everyone else you iMessage with is escrowing their keys to Apple in their backups, so Apple can still read all of your iMessages from the other end of the conversations even if you enable e2ee on your backup.

Mistral-Medium, the one announced here which beats GPT-3.5 on every benchmark, isn't even available yet. Those opinions are referencing Mistral-Tiny (aka Mistral-7B).

However, Mistral-Tiny beats the latest GPT-3.5 in human ratings on the chatbot-arena-leaderboard, in the form of OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B.

Mixtral 8x7B aka (Mistral-Small) was released a couple of days ago and will likely come close to GPT-4, and well above GPT-3.5, on the leaderboards once it has gone through some finetuning.

I remember that during the pandemic, a village in India woke up one morning stunned to see Mt. Everest from their homes. With decreased activity during the lock down, the air quality had improved considerably. I was optimistic that such a visual display of what better air quality could be, that it would have had a profound effect on nations that had such problems.

I don't see that as a disadvantage because (a) if you're planning to write a compiler, 'new programming language' is probably not something you're troubled by, and (b) having a simple+clean 'toy' language probably makes for better pedagogy.

I'm -slightly- surprised it isn't using a C-like syntax rather than ALGOL-like but that's probably my own biases, and mentally mapping 'DO' and 'END' to '{' and '}' isn't much of a hardship.
