I would say it's like when looking at something in real life, I can focus deeply on one thing but not on everything in the "field of view": it's easy to imagine a detailed textured closeup of an elephant's head "in lush cinematic glory" but applying that detail to an entire elephant feels impossible because I can't just focus on every detail on an entire elephant at once. Mind's eye sounds accurate as it really kind of feels like looking at something.

It's also impossible to say whether it's accurate or not. It feels accurate enough without a direct comparison but it's not concrete or static enough to really say much more than that. When I imagine something and then try to recreate it in a real medium (drawing etc) it can come out differently, though then again I really suck at drawing so who knows.
It's probably a technical term for models "we don't like".
I'm a fan of old Flight Simulators but couldn't get into DCS. Too complicated, feels like work. Because of the technical limitations, the older Flight Simulators had just the right amount of complexity, making them a lot more fun.
The MI300 chiplets don't use solder! Crazy stuff. Direct copper-to-copper bonding.
I have to go with "something else". I can "visualize" the elephant's head, but I don't "see" it. That is, I can perceive a visual image of sorts, but its clarity is on par with seeing something at night by the faintest moonlight. It's a little worse than that, even, because I'm also actually seeing with my eyes at the same time, even if they are closed. There is some color and detail, but again very minimal.

One analogy would be hearing a conversation in a crowded room where music is playing. I can focus on the conversation, even while still hearing the music, and tell you some details of the conversation, such as who is speaking and tone of voice, but not actually understand the words.
For some background on why compilers do this, read this gist by ryg. A big issue is we write 32 bit code that runs on 64 bit architectures.

You could simulate which penalty they have to pay for leaving an apartment vacant to get any desired lower vacancy rate.
Why not just one-up it and seize the means of production, i mean seize unused private property? Of course they'd have to label it as market regulation.

(Coming from a country where options for private property and private means of production were once pretty limited)
So you are saying this is not true? You mean they got Google to react to a made up vulnerability? Did you even read the text?
Passkeys take the passwords out of the user's hand. That's good for some users but bad for all, especially at the moment with missing migration possibilities between iOS and Android.

Like all the rest of the computer stuff, it stops being yours and becomes theirs and you are only allowed to use it.
I guess in this case it was the other way around: building the cloud architecture specific to the needs of the app.
Empty apartments are also the supply needed by anyone moving into the city, so it's important to have some. My city recently went through a housing shortage and I heard of cases of about 50 people trying to rent one house.
Related to Dickens and Collins: anyone who's read works by Dickens (who hasn't) and Collins (usually The Moonstone or The Woman in White) and would enjoy a fictional exploration of their relationship in a somewhat darker, rather macabre setting with Wilkie Collins as an unreliable (opium addicted) narrator might consider reading Dan Simmons' Drood (2009). I had the pleasure of reading it earlier this year.

While the premise is odd, Simmons succeeded in creating a work where it is easy to forget that he is not (by far) a contemporary of Dickens and Collins; his style and narrative in Drood are eerily close to how Collins (and his contemporaries) wrote.

Most readers will know Simmons from his lauded Hyperion Cantos. Drood though, is something else entirely, but impressive nonetheless.
It is trivial to detect a spider from human traffic based on requests alone. Lying about the UA would just be bad press for them.
I am the same, 35 years. I use GPT 4 every day now. It sure is handy. It speeds up some things. It is a time saver but it does not seem to be better than me. It is like an OK assistant.

I would agree, not a fundamental or radical improvement yet.

Will it be? I hope so.
You could still run your own Kafka cluster just using their VMs, right? Or is EventHubs cheaper?
Well the approach we use (and has been used at MS research before gpt was a thing) is to ask the llm to provide guesses for instructions to get to a (sub) solution and then let ips (in prolog in our case) do the rest. It seems to work for what we are doing.

Disclaimer: did my dissertation on ips (with genetic programming), but in the 90s when we basically had no computer power. The results were horrible outside trivialities, now they aren't anymore.
No AAC is also absurd.
Given how much of the total weight of a rocket is required for fuel, 5% is massive.
This looks interesting but I'm clearly missing something. Could someone explain what does this terminal do for containers and flatpaks? Even reading the linked blog post didn't help me, probably because I only use containers a little and no flatpaks at all so I have no experience with what would make using them more confortable (if that is indeed the point?).

Thanks!

EDIT: Ah, looking at the screenshots on the project's page I see that it has a menu listing running containers which allows to directly open a terminal tab with a shell running inside the selected container. Is that it or is there more to it?

What about flatpaks? Do flatpaks actually work like containers?

Of course you can, just like the homesteaders. Nobody is going to stop you; they'll just leave you behind.
Silly, they should have hooked it to a different model that gives harmful training data instead :D
Everything’s benefits and tradeoffs. With this model there’s a clear ownership model. I’m not suggesting it’s right for everyone but it is a trend we’ve noticed with a number of clients over the last 2-3 years.
> The world has moved on, and your traditional cellular phone and SMS system is only slightly more useful than the telegraph (especially outside of the USA).

I don't find that. I broke down and got an Android phone some years back because I needed it for work, and I've since gotten a newer one. It's nice but it doesn't do anything that I consider important other than phone calls and SMS. I use it for road navigation, but previously used a standalone Garmin GPS that was superior in many ways. I occasionally check email or look at web sites while outside the house, but it's usually not that important. And I use the camera and clock, but I had a digicam and wristwatch before that, so again not that big a deal.

I know some people are glued to their phones night and day but it doesn't exicte me that much. I'm as much of an internet zombie as most people here, but primarily at home, where I mostly use a laptop rather than a phone. The phone isn't a good substitute since it has a tiny screen, no keyboard, and too much of a GUI-driven OS. I prefer a traditional CLI environment with gcc and emacs and so on.
> It's going to be really hard to differentiate.

True but that’s from a tech angle, right?

I mean - it all depends how big you want to build (what if you do a single feature very good) + you tailor your operation for a niche group of customers based on your first wave of initial POCs/pilots. You can run a great solo business with 10-20 customers.

Walk down the street and knock on local businesses doors. Ask for tech problems. Each one has a few. Ask if they would pay for it. Define for yourself if that income would justify your time/ambition/purpose. AI is hyper-hype but none of BigTech knows how to sell it and purely focus on large enterprises w a mix of fomo/experimentation.

> and no one knows where they will find applications with an ROI

This. Whoever doesn’t respond to OP’s outreach - the problem defined is not big enough or not known yet.
Every time someone uses 'the good' to justify their cause, I know that they are lying and are not who they are generally thought to be. And I'm furious and tired that it's always the 'intelligent' people who are guilty of this. I find this hypocrisy very difficult to deal with.
Yup, I too receive spam just fine. Greylisting and SPF alone doesn't stop it now. If I want to send e-mail to someone on gmail or office365 it usually ends up in spam.
Somewhat high vacancy rates are good if they're 'organic' -- if they're simply the result of there being more supply than demand. When that's the case, tenants and prospective tenants have more leverage, and landlords compete for their attention. Conversely, if supply is too low, it's tenants who compete for landlord attention.
I'm pretty sure its snowflake that went after BigQuery.
I am particularly interested in a comparaison between this new one from Supabase/Fly and the one from Neon.
Took all of 30 seconds to verify it's in NixOS[1]. Another 30 seconds to see it was patched a week ago, at "Dec 8, 2023, 8:23 AM GMT+13", a day after the article was published (Dec 7, 2023, 10:18 AM GMT+13). :shrug:

Also, what do they even mean, if the distro announcement says to simply upgrade to fix it[2]? Do they mean that even after the upgrade you need to manually change a setting? Because the NixOS fix seems to be simply to flip the default setting. If they mean that users which have explicitly set ClassicBondedOnly=false need to change it, that could've been a lot clearer.

My main concern for having a dedicated GPS logging device is the battery drain of the tracking apps on my phone. Used to have a Transystem 747ProS [1] which uses a Nokia BL-5C battery and would last a few days. However, that device was quite dated even then and its accuracy often lacking.

Now I am carrying a dedicated Android phone with me (a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G) on which I have PhoneTrack [2] installed. The app starts tracking as soon as the phone is moving and saves all the data on device. I used to have an instance of Owntracks [3] running, but now I just run a simple Flask app which pipes the GPS points to a PostGIS database on my local network when I am home. To visualize the tracks, I import them into QGIS. As the phone is solely used for tracking and only when I take it with me, the battery lasts about three days.

I don’t know about other countries, but in Poland FedEx is disastrous when it comes to delivering packages. And it’s not so much their last mile couriers, but anything related to the delivery process itself - as if they had extremely broken IT infrastructure, systems and processes.

I remember getting five packages through them from US in a short timespan and every single time something else was broken in their support. One time they even forgot to take duties payment from me and asked only when I was getting the next package.

My theory was that FedEx prioritises comfort/pricing fir shipping companies which are unaware of how bad is it for the receivers.

If anyone ships to Poland (Europe?), I beg you - use literally anything else. My friends’ experience has been similar
That's weird. He was very famously fired for sexual misconduct, which is why Larry Ellison hired him to Oracle.

Larry Ellison is also famous for his "can I buy you a car?" line for attractive women. ;)
Ironically, it’s very easy to literally overtake a phone zombie, whether on foot or by car.
Hi arjinium, at the moment we're not no longer hiring for this position, sorry! If the role opens again I'll leave a comment here.
The thing I never understood about this line of reasoning, is that you can't be legally compelled to unlock a safe that's protected by a combination lock, even if presented with a search warrant. The police can of course attempt to break into the safe.

I'm not sure if that bit relies on the 5th amendment, or something else. But how is a passcode for a phone any different than a combination for a safe?
They're baguettes. It would be super weird to have a hotdog in a cafe like that.
But still no pull to refresh...
I can trace a cartoony outline of an elephant’s head, but it’s not in the same buffer/canvas on which my vision appears. It’s a separate scratch pad for imagination and distinct from vision.

This separate canvas is extremely limited compared to my actual vision. I can only focus on very small parts of it at a time, it’s about as accurate as drawing in the sand with a finger.
> Pulling up the ladder behind you is classic self-interested, antisocial behavior.

Not the case. That would be the case if OpenAI prevented them from using the same resources, which ChatGPT is not.
Why would you pay $8 month per user for this when you can just get Google Workspace for the same price with Google Chat, GB of storage, Google Calendar, GMail, Google Drive, Google Meet etc.?

About the "as complex as you need": RLS can get slow very quickly for aggregate queries, and is hard to debug (since query planner doesn't work smoothly with RLS).

We have a dashboard that displays aggregated stats for our admin users, and we hit serious performance issues with ~600 users with our first implementation. This repo helped us: https://github.com/GaryAustin1/RLS-Performance
I would have assumed someone would build an alternative in the style of openssl alternatives. Log4j does some very complex things and has huge attack surface area. Does the 400k lines of code reflect actual, inherent complexity?
This is a bad idea, and maybe if you think about it a few minutes you could come up with the reasons why, yourself.

For starters, enabling things can as easily introduce vulnerabilities as keeping them disabled. So you won nothing, created more pressure and have everyone working on top of a system that can change under their feet — a recipe for a disaster.
> Once chatGPT came out, many sites changed their terms

Which is not openAI “pulling up the ladder behind them”
EDIT: maybe I get it now, the linked article seems to come from a webpage that doesn't like woke (?). I don't much either but to extrapolate and say the presentation, or at least the bits I read, is extremely racist, is maybe OTT. It's probably well intentioned at least.

---

Where exactly are the racist bits? The whole thing is IMHO weird and dripping with the kind of self-flagellating patronizing wokeness which, to me, has nothing to do with fighting racism, but it's fairly mainstream.

But I gave up on reading this about half-way through, on the slide defining "whiteness" as some kind of toxic cocktail of ignorance and aggression. Oh and it spelled it as "WHITENE\nSS", maybe that was a clever pun?

What is wrong with being nice to people, not being presumptuous about it, and being sympathetic to their life circumstances, whatever category they fit into?
Aside from copyright, this raises anti-trust issues.

Courts generally uphold provisions against reverse-engineering (as protecting internal, proprietary knowledge) but are more welcoming to copying interfaces (as encouraging market substitutes). So one question would be whether OpenAI can restrict use of the output of their tool in this manner, since the output itself is manifestly open (to the customer). That seems novel. The only analogy I know of is database licensing that prevents customers from publishing comparisons, which seems anti-competitive.

Anti-trust policy is motivated mainly in mature markets, where one player has fairly (by hypothesis) grown to dominate. The law and courts apply special scrutiny to identify ordinarily-acceptable market practices that extend the market power of the dominant player.

But is it the same analysis in a growing market? It seems like even if OpenAI (or especially, OpenAI+Microsoft) is dominant, if the market is growing quickly, the concern might be relaxed since the dominance is uncertain. Conversely, if the market is particularly susceptible to capture, early leaders might warrant heightened scrutiny.

But aside from monopoly's first-order effect on reducing competition, the second-order effect is to reduce investments in competitors, which has anti-competitive effects. That concern could be highest in the early stages of a market.

Are there any good lawyer blogs on point?
Notice the difference in color when you do that. As the other comment pointed out, it only disconnects devices. Apple makes it hard for their users to disable bluetooth (or gps) so features like airtag work well.

You are sacrificing your battery life (and I guess privacy and security) for the ecosystem to work.
This product is by far the biggest, most useful, hole in my privacy stance.

I'd never have an internet-connected camera in my home for example but I get genuine use and joy out of Google keeping 10 years' record of everywhere I've been, including the night I first hooked up with my wife and we fell into a taxi at 1am. Neither of us can properly remember it, but Google does.
One time I lost a slip of paper with a girl's phone number on it. I looked everywhere for two weeks. So frustrating - I could picture it right in front of me but I couldn't find it. I eventually read the number off my visual memory of the note, even though I had never memorized the number. Another time someone spoke to me in a loud bar and I couldn't hear a word. A week later I zoomed in on the memory and was able to lip-read what they said. Ironically I can't remember faces.
For scripting I've yet to see general purpose (with the exception of Lua) languages shine where domain specifically cannot, instead usually from my experience the general purpose language adds complexity when you don't have certain built in features or structures.
Main thing I want to know: which of the managed Postgres services allow for logical replication.

I love Heroku, render and neon is promising - but non allow access to the WAL.
Oh I've used this!

I bought some socks and a hat. It ended up duplicating items and not applying the 2-for-1 special, even though I started over a couple of times.

I had to take my stuff to a human counter.

It's understandable for software systems to error-out if things go wrong, but it's really bad when the system happily charges you the wrong price.
This week in KDE: un-flashy important stability work
If I recall right, before ChatGPT launched Google already had LaMDA which an employee believed to be sentient and was subsequently fired. The foundation model was definitely done, but to launch Bard, Google needed a kick in the ass in additional RLHF, safety and groundedness work.

Ultimately though, it's futile to argue which model got done first, as long as the models were behind closed doors. But ChatGPT launched before Bard did and that's the pertinent part that gave OpenAI the first-mover advantage.
To have tight control over performance, usability and privacy. To make purpose-built websites instead of adapting what I can find. To host it all on very little hardware.
LLM's don't have self awareness either.
Meta is a horrible company for how is weaponizing data and manipulating consumers to make more money. I remember seeing papers published by them on how to foster “micro-depressions” on young consumers to make them more pervasive to ads. Nothing against them on engineering from me, just consider them immoral and cancerigenous.

Microsoft under Ballmer was the evil of EEE. Now under Nadella is slowly doing this but more subtly and elegantly. Let’s see the marriage with OpenAI involve. Their engineering mentality was quite nice until recently, let’s keep tabs on GitHub to see them evolve.

Google is trying to be evil, but their own internal struggle from going to Internet God to 80s Corporation (with greed and politics overshadowing the real business) makes them go around in circles.

Long story short: happy FB adopted ActivityPub, not going to touch them anyhow as I consider them immoral. Afraid they will try to influence the standard in the future to cripple it.
Interesting. I am the polar opposite of this. New things invigorate me, and I can often slam through a project to 90% but it takes me days or sometimes weeks to motivate myself to do the last 10%.

Once I can convince myself and start just doing it, I can usually get that done quick too, but there's a mental barrier of high difficulty to overcome first, and I'm compelled to be doing something new instead.
What do you use mistral for?
No, it is them spoiling the pitch.

There is literally no way for them to avoid looking like assholes once they take enact barriers that they themselves did not have to overcome.
I actually liked that they're always visible and not occluded by my thumb on mobile.
Aww, the makers of that plagiarizing machine are upset that they're being plagiarized.
Ask Sam, HN's darling.
I have so little trust in Google that I didn’t even bother reading about it. Few companies have so thoroughly erased my trust in anything they build.
They’re not talking about this. They’re talking about the NameDrop feature added in iOS 17. The one with multiple confirmation steps, while the facebook memes talk like hackers can steal your info from long range with no intervention.

If LLMs could hallucinate Zuck executing someone they would be infinitely funnier.
I was a juror on a trial where this was tried.
The prosecution showed logs from the mobile phone companies’ towers showing where it have been seen, including overnights, and calls from it to the guys friends. Also didn’t help him that it was on a loan application in his name.

This helped convict them of aggravated burglary.

(Incidentally, one of the others failed to provide his passcode but we found it implausible that he could have forgotten it, unlike the USA in England this is absolutely something you can be done for here and he was. I don’t want to get in to the pros/ cons of this law but the basic idea is that its seen as a key, albeit intangible, to a locked container which investigators can require you to open)
I believe it's because they just didn't bother trying this on Windows (yet)
I think you read parent-comment wrong. My interpretation: unlock your phone normally at least every 12h. Only if you fail to do that, then the phone locks harder and you need to unlock with the non-memorizable password. Imagine the PIN/PUK system on SIM cards but with a timed lock-out as well. I agree that it sounds inconvenient though.

I'm not that familiar with the US law system, but wouldn't a written down password be worse? With a memorized password it's at least possible to claim you have forgotten.

Some encryption schemes allow two keys for unlocking, but they would show different content depending on the key. I think I remember trying that on TrueCrypt many years ago.
If they want to increase power is the RPM of the detonation wave increased?
I don't see any problem here. Their TOS to access the service is their right. Unless they used bot to accept TOS of some other site, scraping is completely legal.

Also breaking OpenAI's TOS is likely completely legal and everyone I know is collecting data to their own model. Worst they could do is ban the account.
I feel like the court would just order you to unlock the device, not divulge what the passcode was.
Is this possible to pair a keyboard device to Android without confirmation?
Can confirm that even at I work, a state government department in Australia, which would be considered a medium size enterprise in most aspects, our standard price is a discount of just over 50% off the published price. When I want to calculate the price of a solution, I use their calculator, and then basically divide it in half.

I assume if you're bigger, you probably get an even larger discount.
