If GTA5 Online on PC is still going to be a thing, the smartest move is probably to open source the code and let the community report and fix vulnerabilities.

With almost every AI story I read on here (granted, I don't read that many, I find them quite boring), the top comment seems to be something like "you can do the same on your machine, see ollama". Case in point, your comment was the first one listed for me. So the interest for running LLMs on here seems quite high. Don't know why your post didn't catch anyone.
You could map them to a v4 UUID that isn’t a PK (or even indexed), and expose that instead.
I've known plenty of women with male or gender neutral clothing, "boy cut" hair and no interest in jewelry. They weren't men. Assuming that a woman is transgender because she isn't "girly" is idiotic.

The number of people, particularly women, who don't adhere to gendered fashion greatly exceeds the number of transgender people.
Sounds good. I'll put something together.
Haven't had the time to watch that talk yet... but what's your motivation to create a new language? Any drawbacks in D that you're trying to fix (besides the GC being replaced with RC - which many consider to also be GC by the way)?
oh shit yeah lol you're right, thank you
You do understand that conventional gas pumps are legacy devices on which the UI dates back to the days when the gas was literally pumped by hand?

That they don't remotely approach maximum practical flow rate that can be produced by a pump, even a small one?

That there are quick connectors that can vastly exceed the flow rate of the current hand-held nozzle shoved into a hole?
Well this had to happen once. You can't increase home sizes indefinitely and expect them to stay affordable. I'm sure that a lot more families could afford 900 sqft homes/apartments.
This. That customer of mine started a project a few years before hiring me. They used inheritance and each model is scattered around a number of tables. No external tool can sensibly access that database, except that very Django app and its manage.py commands. Add a similarly enthusiastic use of apps under the same main directory and the database is a mess of long named tables with a tangle of relationships between them.

We started another project later on and we planned the database first. We wrote one model per table, no inheritance, only a few cleanly delimited apps. We still use makemigrations and migrate but if we want we can write a piece of software on any language to access that database.
Compare and contrast Assange and Prigozhin and Nacchio. Or Kadyrov, for that matter.

I’d rather be alive and unimprisoned. It’s not brave to get murdered or jailed. You can’t do the work from jail, Solzhenitsyn notwithstanding.

I can’t believe Navalny went back to Russia, given the situation. They’d already poisoned him in Russia. Sure, maybe the FSB hits him with novichok in Germany anyway, but flying straight back into the lion’s mouth makes no sense.

I think it was a strategic error, not bravery.
In this case, complaining made me aware of the issue. I've known about patent trolling but not this particular kind. So complaining is a form of raising awareness which could be a good first step if system reform is needed.

You can use embedchain[1] to connect various data sources and then get a RAG application running on your local and production very easily. Embedchain is an open source RAG framework and It follows a conventional but configurable approach.

The conventional approach is suitable for software engineer where they may not be less familiar with AI. The configurable approach is suitable for ML engineer where they have sophisticated uses and would want to configure chunking, indexing and retrieval strategies.

Nope, it’s called “negotiation”. Here’s the money I want to pay for your service. You don’t want it? Fine, I’ll leave it here in case you change your mind.

What is this UX? What am I looking at? Why do I care? The main page has one blurb in the center which, as noted by others, is filled with buzzwords, and says "learn about it below...!"

Ok so the only thing on the page is a centered text box and a footer (feels like a strange choice) with "Log In" and "Get Started" button. When I see that I think "well, I'm not signing up to find out what this is" and get ready to leave. However first I try to scroll to see if there's anything "below" the fold, and surprise, there's nothing else. Why say below if there's nothing below?

But there's that Footer. This must be navigation, right? Introduction is highlighted, so presumably this control works like the footer in iOS? The fact that all four links are on the footer and one is highlighted leads me to believe that yes, this is a static footer that allows navigation across pages. I click the Features link, expecting the page to slide over and load a page with some discussion on what this actually is and what it's meant to accomplish, with Features highlighted on the footer. This is not what happened. The footer disappeared, and became a sidebar, which is also somehow my dashboard according to the text on page... MY dashboard? I haven't created any account. How am I meant to navigate back to the introduction page to get to the Updates or Community links? I click back in my browser. I go to the Updates page. It's a direct link to x.com, a site I don't want to touch with a ten foot pole. I was expecting a project blog for some reason, not fascist infested social media.

I came straight here to make this comment. In typing up this comment and interacting more with your site, I see there IS a way back to the Introduction page with the footer from the Features page, and it's called "Learn More" and leads back to the emptiest page on the site. What more am I learning on that page? Or from x.com (besides what a fusk Musk is)? I never made it to your Community page. I don't see a point when I still have no idea what this is yet. From mousing over it, I can tell that it's going to force my browser to send an xdg signal to open Discord. That's great. That's nice. I like when users aren't warned by the page where they're going. This is good design. Call it Discord for the sake of all.

This is what the introduction to the Features is:

> To query RONIN, start by creating a new App (such as “Website”) in the “Apps” section of your space on the dashboard (left sidebar), which will provide you with a token.

This is the first thing on the page and really doesn't tell me what this is or is meant to accomplish in plain language. This does not introduce me to the features, it tells me to interact with a UI element that does not exist because I have not made an account because I don't want to create one for a product that I don't understand. And I'm certainly not installing this through npm before I even know what this software is capable or accomplishes.

Respectfully, I have no idea what this is or what I'm supposed to take away from it other than bad ideas not to emulate.

The experiments are straight forward if someone wants to run them. But your fantasy is backed up by as much evidence as mine, we are arguing about whose anecdote is better until someone does the experiment.
There's something about calling some overseas phone number but that was fun! The kids enjoyed it too.
Picking a Purpose
Have a look at Bunnie Huang’s Precursor project, but it’s much more expensive.
That's the whole point of a TKey as a security device: the secret available to an application depends on both the device it's running on and the application, and can't be extracted, so you can do things like "sign a blob only if it follows these rules" and enforce it in hardware. If the device wasn't locked, you could just... change the rules.

How is that not a legitimate form of security?
This generation is just lazy, don't you know? (/s)
I've literally never been about only healthcare for the cities or 100% medicare for all, I literally said it ought to be a baseline on which to build something better. It's much like how we can't even agree as a nation that coal sucks and replace it with renewables/nuclear/natural gas on the way to something better.

So here we are, paralyzed indefinitely, throwing more money at a broken system annually. But also, so many in tech build things from strong opinions about very complicated things, and they are inadequate, but at least they're not doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

I will say this though. I have yet to see private equity do anything besides make an existing problematic situation worse. And if that's what you mean by a difference between America and Hong Kong, yep, I agree.

>asking a hardware encoder to encode

Also the case for software encoders. Hardware encoders do it faster with the caveat of only encoding in pre-determined ways, but whether hardware or software what happens and what you get are fundamentally the same.
Why is that? Why cannot dwellings become higher value and decrease in cost?
Follows modern principles of disruption somewhat closely.
If a bunch of butchers got together and lobbied to prevent any new butchers from opening up in the neighbourhood, we'd call it anti-competitive collusion. Yet it's apparently fine for a bunch of home-owners to get together and lobby to prevent any new home building in the neighbourhood. People with a vested interest in limiting housing supply (in order to increase the value of their own properties) should not be allowed any significant input into decisions regarding the construction of new housing.
Petrov/Petroff is a
(a very common) surname/lastname in Russian, but never a firstname.

-ko is a suffix denoting a lastname of Ukrainian origin though those were spread around even in Russian Empire.

There are a lot of people with Zayilenko surname in Russia now and Zalenko and Zelenko is still one in Ukraine now.

Given the Wikipedia article on him there is a chance it's just a corruption and he was called Petro Zelenko

Why would I run it myself when I can run GPT-4 for less than the electricity cost? Running these yourself is not free. OpenAI is heavily subsidized.
This is probably the most likely source of interest; modders might get some benefit from knowing the actual source but the decompiles are usually just as good (except variable names, perhaps, see Minecraft SRG, etc).

But speedrunners might be able to realize new exploits to reduce time that aren't apparent from the decomp.
If developers became tainted by knowledge of proprietary/secret code, wouldn't you be bound for life to your first employer? And wouldn't reading GPL code like Linux also taint your mind for life?
What if a coworker or some random FOSS author read the code and later used a technique they saw, and then you see it and your mind is now tainted too? Sounds like a nonsense "risk".
Nice. I've been looking for something like this to self-host, to avoid my partner uploading sensitive documents to random PDF manipulation websites.

Any better alternatives I should be considering?
They're not affordable for FANG employees. According to levels.fyi an L5 at Google makes $349,163, of that they'll keep 60% after taxes so 209k. It sounds like a lot (and it is in comparison to people making less) but a 1bd apartment costs > $1 million almost anywhere near one of those jobs. You need to pay rent until you've saved $200k-$400k which will take 5-6yrs and then you buy a 1bed apartment and pay $7000-$9000 a month (apartment + hoa) (seen HOAs as much as $3k a month!).

AFAICT the only way they can do it is as a couple or down payments from family.

If you wonder why traffic is so bad, it's because the only places affordable are 90 minute commute

> You seem to have reading comprehension issues.

You seem to have a particular obsession with drawing equivalences between the safety ratings of industrial chemicals and their ingestion.

Of course I wouldn't drink 111-trichloroethane, I wouldn't drink bitumen either.

Neither is intended for human consumption, so these safety ratings need to be considered in the context of their intended uses.

The CDC source you cited notes that it was phased out due to damage to the ozone layer, which is orthogonal to any human safety concerns.
Really enjoyed this book! He's a little braggy, but I guess deserves to be. I think about this philosophy a lot (quote from https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/10/the-road-to-civilizat...):

> Meier said Firaxis has adopted a "rule of thirds" for new Civilization entries: "one-third traditional gameplay, one-third is improved from the last version, and one-third is brand new." But the team also has to be careful with everything they add. "We're now at the point where for every new feature we put in we have to take something out, because it's very easy to overwhelm the player with complexity or detail or things like that."
> and chose to fabricate it instead

In large companies usually there are even simpler mundane explanations. Most likely in this case there was no previous company policy, and some local department was running an experiment.

Then it got discovered, policy was established, and article was deleted. Nothing really malicious, nothing really interesting.
Also curious.

I'm a sample of 1 and also relatively inexperienced. But I felt I quickly reached the limits of what was possible when I tried doing sentence classification with OSS sentence embedding models. The issue was with negation. I'd attributed too much magic to embedding models - they don't really understand language.

Not to say there isn't very capable tech out there. Just to add a datapoint that "sentiment analysis"-like approaches in blogs don't always scale to your particular use-case.

Edit: conscious I've drifted from the topic of chatbot type models, but felt relevant somehow.
You beat me to it! Such a fun game
Is the risk any different than that if a programmer who used to work for Rockstar games?

Aren't former employees allowed to learn from their experience working on GTA V and develop products based on that knowledge, just as Rockstar programmers have used prior knowledge to develop GTA V?
It’s interesting they note the association of paleness with beauty, which has been lost a bit in European culture over time but is vibrant in Asia where dark complexion is considered low, with associations of poverty, low class, and ignorance. Women in Asia go to elaborate means to lighten their skin, from hiding from the sun to wearing sunscreen, all the way to questionably safe skin lightening treatments with various chemicals and procedures at often exorbitant rates.

Flipping to the other side of the world, Europeans are sunbathing, using tanning chemicals, and other means to get the exact opposite effect. (My pet theory is this is because tanning is a product of a life of leisure, which is increasingly harder to get and sun exposure isn’t as associated with poverty and manual labor as people moved indoors to work in the west).

I got married 23 years ago, and was along for the ride with the cultural norms of feminine beauty. In fact the lengths women went to intrigued me, partially because it was a sort of subjugation for my pleasure. As I grew older I saw that as disgusting, and learned that my wife is my companion and that is where the beauty of the sexes truly lies. As I had a daughter I saw things yet again as telling girls to never feel truly comfortable in any context, to always be wrong in who they are, to only be acceptable if they make themselves different than their natural self. As a man that’s a shocking way to live, we are taught to belch and fart and dress the way we feel comfortable. Don’t shave for a few days? Handsome.

Why have we done this to our friends, lovers, companions, daughters, sisters, mothers? Yeah I get it women do it to themselves as well, when I say “we,” I mean all of us humans. It’s a sad thing that half of us can structurally never be comfortable in themselves.

That "mature startup" I was working at had no Scrum and 6 people, including the two founders.

The lack of some sort of formal structure very much was a problem.

Granted, some people are so self-disciplined and enlightened/experienced that they are fully capable of self-organizing and don't need the support of any formal work structure. But those are rare like hen teeth. It doesn't have to be Scrum but Scrum works, so why reinvent the wheel?

This is especially true at early stage startups when there are millions of things to take care of besides the coding. The structure/being organized is super important or things start falling through the cracks.

If it is a feature request that didn't make it that is annoying but likely no big deal. But if it is e.g. a tax declaration for the company or maybe some government paperwork that had to be done, or following up a major investment/sales lead - that could literally destroy your company overnight.

So having a structure in place to make sure everyone is constantly on the same page, everyone knows what needs to be done - and mainly who is going to do it - is super important.

The problem is that most people I have met didn't realize this. Esp. when the founders have never worked in a structured team themselves, never saw how to manage a team or had a mentor to show them the ropes. So you end up with poorly reinvented management "wheels" that don't work and the company is wasting precious capital because suddenly the founder becomes an over-stressed and overloaded bottleneck trying to juggle coding, finances, sales, filing taxes and what not. Or, worse, makes the company fail because something that had to be done wasn't.

This isn't stuff that is taught in universities or that people are somehow born with. One has to learn it with experience - and ideally see how to do it from someone more experienced.

Obviously, if your entire company is one person, you don't need Scrum. However, the moment you hire your first developer you better put some structure in place because sooner or later you will outgrow the informal "system". Only so much can be done with a single person.

And once you have more than 1 developer (or any team member - it can be graphic designer, web designer, sales, whatever) you will have problems if you keep things totally free form. It becomes super inefficient.
Sure, but who can afford them? We're building a house right now... My god it is expensive.
1. Why treat software as special products of deteriorating quality? Other classes of products are also getting worse eg food

2. Start by blaming yourself, then blame others. Can you proove to your manager why spending a week on performance tuning is the best use of your time? If you can, they will let you do it. If you cannot, it is your fault or even maybe your mistake for thinking optimising your app's performance is a good idea.

3. A very good chunk of developers dont even know how to measure performance, let alone tune.

4. If technical debt is becoming a problem it is your responsibility to fix it as part of your next boud of code. Did your manager ask for feature X? Tell them it takes Y amount of time and bake in a slight refactor around X that will.make your software better. Dont even ask them, or let them know. Every feature will come with some slight tech debt resolution.

5. The economic issue of software is not a problem of what people percieve being worth paying for. The economic problem is software's inherent incompatibility with the capitalist market functionality. The history of software's monetization is the history of buisnesses desperately trying to hack around this core incompatibility - which we haven't fully realized yet.

Which year/trim of a truck are we talking about here specifically? I’d be interested in not refuelling for months of city driving.

Assuming we’re just talking about driving around for errands and not things you use a truck for, this would still be impressive.
