For the last week I was working on open source iOS App (similar to ChatGPT) that can be used with self hosted models using Ollama.

I think the future is for many people to have private, unfiltered LLM and this app gives you nice UI to communicate with it. App requires to run ollama model before you can use the app.

I have many features planned like image input, but looking forward to hear some feedback to guide the development.

The communication bands (X- and S-band, which are the microwave range) are pretty well regulated, so they aren't that noisy, relative to other bands.

And on the receiving end, we have decent arrays of antennas to pick up the signals.

Here's a nifty document detailing the coms of Voyager: https://voyager.gsfc.nasa.gov/Library/DeepCommo_Chapter3--14...

Fig 3-4 on page 46 (page 10 in the document) shows the signal flow.
IIRC that is the original goal of beeper, to act as a universal messenger front end
You can make things a bit better immediately by installing on outbound firewall like Little Snitch or Open Snitch.

And then if you install a malicious package that phones home, you might get an alert.

Of course this doesn't guarantee anything, as the package might activate the malicious behavior only under some specific circumstances. But it also doesn't cost anything. So it's a small win in my book.

Here's how it works in practice:

It's just another bloated web framework application sucking up all your memory.
The difference is that in the cases you mention, the government is protecting kids from bad actions that parents might take.

Requiring age verification won't stop a parent from giving a kid access to porn. And, frankly, if a parent wants to show a teen porn as a way to educate them about what can be bad about it and what the dangers are, that's a private matter between the parent and the teen.
Fun! It runs into a bit of a problem that a lot of of these comments are in threads where they feel the need to disclose who the are so the comment starts "Cruise CEO here" and the answers list only has one option for someone from Cruise.
This transition to Wayland made me appreciate the old saying "it's all over bar the screaming".

It's definitely over. No one is working on X server any more. As hardware evolves, Xorg going to break more and more. No distro (RedHat included) could avoid Wayland and expect to remain relevant. (The X client side will work for decades to come of course because of XWayland.)

Despite the inevitability of it, the screams of pain are just getting louder at time point. Every HN thread is swamped with them.

It seems to be mainly an open source affliction. Every time Firefox makes a a minor change you see the same thing, but Chrome has to do something major break UBlock Origin to get similar levels of screaming.
Seems somewhat analogous to draw by repetition in Chess
Fun story, my first market model (2003) was a simple feed-forward network trained using an evolutionary algorithm. This led me to LSTM and backprop, which required calculus, and pushed me to go back to college.

I've been thinking about building something again, based in P/E ratio and some portfolio mgmt strats I used for a college paper. Got the best returns for the semester but only a C grade because the prof didn't like my mechanical approach. I'm all about removing the fear and greed from the decision making.
How do you think ad targeting works? First google and friends build a model of your digital habits and then they figure out the best ways to intervene in the digital space with ads that you will click on. Same with Facebook. These companies make billions every day and that's because they are very effective at using AI (linear regression) to modify user behavior on a mass scale and increase revenue for the advertisers.
"Tepidfix" if I were on the team. But that's probably why I'm not on the team...
You might've gotten a lucky roll haha, I'm currently adding more prominent community members (thanks, dang!) that should make it harder to guess. Thanks for playing though :)
Communication is exchange of information.

The sun is not communicating with us, and we know its "radio" is still working.

It's a pedantic, and incorrect, argument against the headline. The guidelines actually say not to do this, even when you're right.

PS. Not joking.
Several forms of immune system cancer treatment involve nuking the immune system and getting a bone marrow transplant from a healthy donor.

Leukemia for sure, and I think also a few kinds (or at least stages) of lymphoma.
It's not less confusing in any way. "Core Ultra 9", "Core Ultra 7", etc. is no better than "Core i9", "Core i7", etc. And that's not even taking into account the not yet launched "Core 7", "Core 5", etc.

They did simplify the nomenclature slightly by unifying the H series and P series mobile product families (which were the same silicon at different power levels), but now you have to read the fine print for each laptop to know whether it's targeting the 64W or 115W maximum CPU turbo limit.

A "Core Ultra 7 155H" is a drastically different and more powerful processor than a "Core Ultra 7 155U".
Perhaps the phrase "I don't hate it, but I don't love it" doesn’t fully encapsulate the nuanced spectrum of emotional response. Might I suggest employing "I harbor a moderate degree of equivocation regarding this matter"? It articulates a position of neither fervent advocacy nor staunch opposition, akin to balancing on the fulcrum of a metaphorical teeter-totter, oscillating gently between the poles of approval and disapproval.

Tokenization is not the problem in this case.

You see the difference?
Yay the next round of intergenerational conflict has begun! Here are some of the well-worn rhetorical tools we will be handing down to you:

- Shit is the most expensive it has ever been. Fixate entirely on the absolute cost of things, and ignore other factors such as inflation or technological advances. Remember, the 1970s were the same as today if you just ignore the availability of computers, medicine, and many modern conveniences!

- Precisely until this generation, all that was needed to get a job was a face and a resume. Feel free to go off on a tangent about race and gender, and make some sort of case that discrimination is worse now than it’s ever been.

- College didn’t prepare you for the work force and student loan debt has bankrupted you. This is uniquely true today - previous generation had less absolute debt to the point that it can be ignored (see point 1 about ignoring inflation)

- If you encounter writer’s block, just repeat: Real wages have flatlined since 1970. Real wages have flatlined since 1970. Real wages have flatlined since 1970. Repeat ad nauseum and ignore all evidence to the contrary

- Houses - fuhgeddaboutit! A house in Manhattan costs 5 gazillion dollars, which is unaffordable for the average minimum wage employee. Ignore entire swaths of the country where housing IS affordable - because every young person has a right to a single bedroom apartment, in a quiet, comfortable, safe, fun neighborhood, near all friends and good jobs - just like every generation before was awarded!

====

Instead, here’s some real advice: recognize that previous generations went through many of the same problems you did. Ask for their advice on how to get through it. We really do want to help you - everyone struggles in their 20s, it’s really a natural progression. You’ll make it through and be stronger for it
> because ultimately they complete fewer story points than others that don't do it?

Solution: don't measure story points
Thanks for everything! I can't wait to see what you'll do next!

You and Armon have truly shaped the world of infrastructure with your tools and ideas.
Although we never met in person (I only had the pleasure to meet Armon so far) - we've interacted a couple of times through some PRs and I really like you as an engineer. It's incredible the value that you created over these 11 years - not only on the product side of things (Terraform and Vault are incredible!), but also with all of your Go packages. The amount of time your name pops up in my go.mod files is just impressive :)

You and Armon are incredible engineers and I'm so happy you built something as cool as Hashicorp!
All the best with the next chapter of your life!
Maybe you only worked at sexist places. If you work in a place that prioritizes hiring women you get the opposite effect. I've seen both.
Hahaha yes for sure, but you can count those as free points for now. If people end up loving this project I'll think about adding obfuscation
Slightly larger antennas, too.
You just described my Vampire deck, using Vito and Exquisite Blood.

Personal favorite is Squirrel's Nest + Earthcraft. Coat of Arms is optional fun lol
This is a delight to play with; thanks for sharing!

One slight UX suggestion: Consider a "start" button before making the camera request. Permission prompts are blocking modals on Safari (unlike Chrome where they're a pop-over from the toolbar), so the user doesn't necessarily have context if it's on page load!

It's the most distant transmitter we're receiving anything from. Just the signal itself is useful and communicates that the probe is still powered.

Well, I was not. I keep thinking there has got to be a way to dissolve the black, caked on oil resins, and so far I haven't found a solvent that works. I tried the relatively harmless stuff found around a household; the more aggressive being the lye solution, brake cleaner, acetone, citric acid, muriatic acid (i.e. HCl but relatively weak). Sibling has a good point to try more heat, which should be easy to try since the object is stainless steel.
Pretty small still at 500gb. It only stores hot data right now and a subset of what's important. Most of our data is in S3.
Might be intentional. Unreliable service is probably worse as a user. Never know if the system is down or if it’s just you. Plus probably harder for beeper to work out how/why they are getting blocked.
Is this the language in question? https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/main/flow/README....
It would be cool if we eventually develop the technology to send out a probe to go out there and fetch the Voyager probes, so that we can put them in a museum.

(Presumably with one of the siblings of the fetching probe going further and faster than the Voyager probes ever managed)
Thank you. Didn't want to tap a CNN link for anything involving science

P.s. I also wouldn't go to Fox, before you think this is left/right bias. My bias is against regular media reporting on anything scientific. It's either rendered alarmist, so simplified it's wrong, or some combination of the two
Maybe our simulation has not been implemented so robustly at that distance...
Testing is continuous multilayered multistaged process.

Testing should start before first developer wrote first line of code for the project. Architecture blueprints, set of requirements should be tested as early as possible. But that is not happening in real life, only in books. In real life pm will bring cheap contractor from India one month before the target release date.
Oof, and that's a crime with strict liability.

Are these regions AWS regions? Does that mean you don't pay egress fees between your EC2 instance (or whatever) and the database? Does it mean that the latency is very low?
Ask HN: Do You Personally Know a Transcendental Genius?
Let's say the transcendental genius group is the kind of intellect that is one in 1,000,000 among the population, so there's 7,000 of them alive today.

If so:
What is their field?
What are they working on?
What are their achievements?
What is holding them back?

Alternatively (if you have more time):
Can you share their story?
Yes, ack on both. We already do point-in-time-restore your database with 1-minute granularity. And the docs are thin currently; we will add more to them.

We're using the same core control plane approach that still powers multiple PostgreSQL services like Heroku Postgres, Citus/Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL and Crunchy Bridge. Ubicloud is being built by core members of the same teams that built those products, improved with learnings. We are yet in preview and not as feature complete, but we will continue adding more features, building them in the open.

I wouldn’t want to power home out of ordinary lithium - e-scooter explosions are already disastrous. There’s LiFePO4 but it’s more expensive.
The extensions worked just fine on Android before an update a few years ago broke them. I can finally use extensions that I've been missing for years.

Apologies for misleading title of my question, I was curious about "improving" our phone usage habits not using it for the purpose of getting more attention. Something like reducing screen time.
Looks great. It would be useful to have a wiki page about the Elastic V2 license. e.g https://www.elastic.co/licensing/elastic-license/faq

This. It's crazy how primitive the GPU development process still is in the year 2023. Yeah it's gotten better, but there's still a massive gap with traditional development.
My idea of the pendulum swinging back is 'you build it you run it', personally. Don't like the oncall pager? don't make it ring.
> If whatever you're trying to do involves any sort of interpersonal interaction, you're gonna make the 2% up and then some.

No, your attractive colleagues are gonna make up that 2% and then some, not you. All these attractive fund managers got more funding, more promotions, better salaries etc according to the study, but they did a way worse jobs.

Their super power is that they make others pay for their success, they don't create the success themselves. The unattractive people however do help make other successful, that is what the 2% extra return per annum shows.

If you need people to do sales, then yeah hire an attractive person and give them commission, that way it works for you. But for most other jobs their success comes from manipulating you, and then their attractiveness works against you more than it helps.
But don't forget: It's Sharepoint all the way down.
A tall person would likely have to lean over more, and on average, will tend to have bigger hands. A small, geeky-looking person, on the other hand, is likely to have smaller hands.

Why we wouldn't be using a robot for such a delicate surgery, I have no clue. Personally speaking, though, if I get brain cancer, I will not optimize for a tall surgeon.
That's changed for some of them recently. The linuxserver.io container for 'unifi-controller' was deprecated in favor of 'unifi-network-application' [1] so they could quit bundling MongoDB. There's not much value there anymore IMO because it's no simpler than running standalone in a VM at that point.

At least with a VM I can shut it down, snapshot it, block incoming network access for everything but a canary deployment, update it, wait for my canary to come up properly, and then let everything else hit it. That gives the option of a rollback which is much harder with Docker.

I say that as someone using 'linuxserver.io/unifi-controller' which was a mistake I guess.

> But FWIW the incumbent adopts it and dominates anyway. (Though you now are technically "untethered.")

That's assuming the incumbent's advantage isn't rooted in the lock-in.

If ML was suddenly untethered from CUDA, now you're competing on hardware. Intel would still have mediocre GPUs, but AMD's are competitive, and Intel's could be in the near future if they execute competently.

The open standard doesn't automatically give you the win, but it puts you in the ring.

And either of them have the potential to gain an advantage over Nvidia by integrating GPUs with their x86_64 CPUs, e.g. so the CPU and GPU can share memory, avoiding copying over PCIe and giving the CPU direct access to HBM. They could even put a cut down but compatible version of the technology in every commodity PC by default, giving them a huge installed base of hardware that encourages developers to target it.
You're halfway to a point, but none of those words are used correctly. Something like -

"React is built to appeal to young developers. By being complicated, internally consistent, and "selling itself", it keeps them working long hours on boring business tasks. Practically, it's not the right tool, but it keeps 'em happy and grinding away."

Words misused (all of them):

- liminal = transitional, "between worlds", arguable, but more "flow"

- ballmer peak = coding capability stemming from mild inebriation, not from an old man sense of duty

- NP-hard = difficulty comes from combinatorial explosion, not from the impossibility of making people love spreadsheets

As a used-to-be baby dev, I'd argue the appeal of web frameworks is 2-fold. Structured ways to do complicated stuff, and internal consistency.
Most companies don't have network effect with lock-in, and especially those we depend to live our everyday lives: I can send money to my buddy who uses a different bank, I can send emails to gmail users from my yahoo account , I can also refuel my car at any station and not be tied to one brand. Imagine being locked in to any of those.

There are of course a lot of companies with lock-in out there, but none with such big network effect deeply intertwined with peoples' communication and personal lives (in the US).
This says nothing at all.

The story is exactly the opposite of the one that you're telling!

We first found out that GPA and GRE scores mean nothing. Neither GPA nor GRE scores are predictive of grad school performance!

Same with LSAT. It has no predictive validity for your quality as a lawyer. Just about 0.5% of your abilities as a lawyer are related to your LAST score. (not 50%, less than 1%) https://www.alanet.org/legal-management/2023/february/column...

MCAT scores are a bit more predictive, but only in the stupidest way. Very low MCAT scores are very predictive that you will be terrible and fail out. MCAT is only predictive at the bottom, above the lowest 25% of scores, all MCAT scores are the same.

We don't have a good way of scoring people to get them into these positions. So instead of blindly following a score that we know is meaningless, we try to have some equity of opportunity in society. And, we try to make sure that people have doctors, scientists, etc. that they feel comfortable with and that represent their communities too.
Depressing to see how low we've gotten. It's not that people want an office (with a door) to minimize interruptions, you now need to advocate for your own fucking desk?
Distantly related, but I have always found the USPS change of address database as a product they sell to companies to be extremely uncomfortable. Last I heard, they only sell the "permanent" address changes and not the "temporary" ones, so I always do 6 month temporary ones to virtualpostmail and just go through everything and update my addresses one by one.

Yeah the irony is he used to get a lot of hate from the right (because of environmentalism and EVs being left-coded) while the left loved him, but it's flip-flopped. I think partly because the media is directly threatened by twitter - there's a conflict of interest, but also because the progressive left has gotten worse (though I think the 'hate the rich' bit is part of it).

The same types of people (inaccurately) labeling Musk an antisemite are often simultaneously pushing/defending DEI offices and ideology at universities that cause actual direct threats against Jewish students.
You're just making shit up. I was with the Mozilla project for 25 years, with Netscape and then the Mozilla companies for 23 years. I was involved in reviews of the very first Google and Mozilla contract in the fall of 2004. Google has no say in the Mozilla product experience. None. There are some things Mozilla is disallowed from doing to Google Search results that Firefox displays, but that's basically it. That you want to imagine nefarious backroom deals that never existed and use those imaginings to shit on Mozilla is deeply insulting, and you should know that you and people like you have done more to dispirit and demoralize Mozilla than any competition ever did.

Wow, thanks for sharing. I just installed Firefox Nightly (v122.0a1) from the Play Store and sideloading does work again. After tapping the Nightly logo several times, an "Install add-on from file" option shows up in the settings. I can even install an unsigned add-on with "xpinstall.signatures.required" set to "false" in about:config. For the longest time, Nightly allowed users to set up the "Custom Add-on collections" workaround to install add-ons from addons.mozilla.org but not sideload add-ons directly, so this is a major improvement.

Edit: Nightly gained the ability to sideload add-ons 2 weeks ago from the pull request at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/pull/4568. Also, a Mozilla employee has confirmed that sideloading is going to make it to the release channel of Firefox for Android!* Firefox is having an incredible month. It took time, but I'm extremely glad Mozilla is taking user feedback seriously.
