It definitely isn’t a good defense.

This would be like if you were able to say some magic words to goad Google Search into giving you a copy of Avatar: The Way of Water. Even worse, the movie would be a file hosted and distributed by Google directly.
I have a few guesses:

Google has marginal incentive to not kill Firefox (antitrust), they have no incentive to make sure they provide a good experience on Firefox, let alone test with it.

The issue seems to be isolated to the search home page, and Google Search hasn't exactly been associated with "quality" in several years. Internal rot and disinterest gradually chip away at QA.
The floor heating itself isn't that expensive, the problem is you need to redo you floor, which sometimes means destroying it and doing a new install. We wanted a new floor anyway so not a problem, but if you have something expensive it will add up.
Taking it a step further it makes sense.

So far most heat pumps are a step up in price in the US compared to the traditional furnance/Ac setup. If you only needed the furnace replaced it might make sense to only replace that and not spending the extra multiple to replace the entire system.
After some trauma I get tired cognitively really easily now, it's hard for me to concentrate for more than 2 hours.

There are many references to heated tobacco as being safer in this article, but nothing supporting the contention. The filtered cigarette playbook used once again.
One thing to keep in mind is there are reasons to keep stuff warm, and not just your body. Condensation, etc. is a pain in wet places (Ireland for instance).
There may be a middle ground. In this example, you could say, "Are you available to join a call at 3:30?"; that gives a little information about the topic and the time sensitivity, but it may still require a follow-up.
As far as I know, floor heating is bad for blood flow and can cause various health issues.
You don't slash the price of something selling within your expectations after a few months. And you know that crummy $0 free on contract phones weren't the competitor to the iPhone. It was $400 on contract smartphones like the Palm Treo 750 or Cingular 8525, actually comparable devices.
Waymo has self-driving ready and is operating in a few cities.

It's a decade ahead of Tesla or Cruise (which just had some drama with their permits to operate because their software is crap.)

We are in a world where self-driving is already a reality. It's just missing the scale aspect.
It's true that LLMs can be used to automate things that couldn't be automated before. But even without LLMs there are untold millions of jobs that could be replaced with a simple shell script. Staggering inefficiency is everywhere. So maybe the GPTs won't be that much of a gamechanger?

In our case, it's a SaaS (pirsch.io) and browser first. But people and I like having an icon on our phones that we can click to open a dashboard quickly. Of course, this could just be a regular link, but it saves resources because PWAs will cache files (2 MB or something JS bundles for example).
Aren’t many of these populations self selecting anyway?

It would be something else if the took a random sample of people off the street, got them to use ~10,000 hours to master something and then got positive results.
But type declarations in Python are not required to be correct, are they? You are allowed to write

def twice(x: int) -> int:

and it should print "nopenope". Right?
I think you're sort of misunderstanding the role of QA.

You think that QA is a liability shield, but that is only a side effect of the work that they actually do.

The task of QA is exactly that: an entity that tries to assure that the quality is up to some standard.
Even in favourable conditions mistakes happen, so how do you make sure as a company that not 1 in every 100 product are faulty and tarnishes the good reputation that your company has spent so much time and money on to build? You hire a QA to make sure problems get caught before delivery.

But if all humans make mistakes, and QA is human, how do you make sure that the QA doesn't make a mistake? A never ending chain of QAs expecting each other?

No of course not. One thing that helps with reducing errors is to have a rigid protocol that is followed to the letter everytime. Pilots, for example, have a preflight checklist that they have to run every time they operate the plane.

The rigid protocol of QA teams is therefore an essential part of their jobs.

Although from your standpoint as a developer it might seem strange that QA is 'preventing' you from fixing a bug, it is actually very reasonable.

Especially since you work in the defence industry, I hope you understand that it is very important that the software that operates radars, planes, missiles, bombs, etc is working exactly as expected. Understandably there is a great deal of effort made to assure that when those things are needed they work exactly to spec.

So in your example it is probably very reasonable that any change you make needs to go through some rigorous process. The fact that it 'only' was about test equipment, doesn't matter because test equipment is just as, if not more important as the stuff it tests.

The reason why QA has the side-effect of being a 'liability shield' is that it gives companies the ability to argue (and proof) after the fact that the company did their due diligence in making sure that the product was to spec.

Especially certification is basically to get an external organisation to approve your QA. In that case if you get sued you can rightfully claim that you did everything that was legally asked of you, and if there is blame, then it is the certifying company using insufficient standards.

Even in this revised scenario it's not clear if you were able to get ahead. Because you are converting heat to mechanical work and back to heat in the heat pump so you are subject to Carnot limit _twice_
All benchmarks are biased because nobody does the same level of config tuning on different databases. But this GigaOm/Microsoft one is a joke. They run Citus with no replication on 12x16+1x32 vCores and the others on 14x16 vCPU (so 14x8 cores) with replication factor 3.

Putting hype and usefulness on the same axis is a common mistake.

It helps to think of AI as a discovery, a feat of science we now are unlocking using experimentation rather than a traditional engineering product.

Once you make that shift, the expectations we project on it start being silly. It’s marginally useful as a search engine but discussed like one primarily because Microsoft used they framing as the most business model advantageous they saw hurting google - not because it’s a particularly good fit for that usecase.

Once you understand it as a discovery you understand how silly much of the framing and opinionation really is - the “flaws” usually being projection of expectations used by the companies trying to monetize it.

Just because the technology isn’t fitting their business model framing doesn’t mean it can’t be phenomenally transformative to society and wreck a whole bunch of stuff.

Scientific discovery this year has been breathtaking on every dimension - not even taking hardware into account. And we don’t have a sense of where it ends beyond - not going on forever and not stopping tomorrow. Most people arguing about the technology is from a perspective of todays limitations in regards to todays usecases. And that’s not a good way to approach the problem.
The estrangement he observes aren't that surprising, in either direction. Many universities have both Math and Applied Math departments. Why have both unless the mathematicians in the Math department don't want to work on applications? I have spoken with people who say if you're working on an application, "it's not really math."

In biology, there is almost certainly a self-selection effect in which the field attracts people who want to study science but are not comfortable with math, or just people who have a particular interest in plants or animals, which is uncorrelated with math skills.

I suspect there is a self-selection effect in the other direction too. I was always good at math, but I never wanted to major in it or go to grad school in it. I got a PhD in AI and machine learning, which was quite mathematical enough, and yet I can't recall ever interacting with anyone from the math department. As far as I knew, they wanted to do "pure math" and weren't interested in applications. So the people who want to do practical things select them selves into other majors like physics, engineering, and computer science.

Keep in mind that traditional control surfaces need the complex hydraulic systems that already do something similar, so if there are other benefits to be gained (efficiency, post stall manoeuvrability) by the lack of the movable flap, it seems well worth a try.

This exactly. And getting content from third party sites dynamically. The classic example was having a Google Maps thing on your site where you'd show your, or even yet another party's data on a map. There was increasing amounts of data becoming available, apis opening up, governments releasing data sets. Combining all of that into something interesting, that was the real promise of web 2.0.

And then everybody started using that to add trackers and push ads.

I refuse to buy DRM'd content. I refused to watch DRM'd streams. I periodically write to media organisations and highlight my opposition to my legal rights under copyright law, and point out that I have not bought their product because of it. I haven't bought a Sony product since their rootkit fiasco, for example, and occasionally remind them of it.

I often get a response – usually media companies (like Channel 4 in the UK) reply saying something like "We know this is a bit shit, and we're sorry for it, but it's a contractual obligation we are under". I've never quite understood that argument. Both the BBC and Danish Radio (Denmark's equivalent of the BBC) have no DRM whatsoever on their websites, both buy in lots of programmes, and both send them quite happily over teh interwebz to me when I happen to be in whichever country at the same time.

Meanwhile, I buy CDs or DRM-free audio files (hyperion-records.co.uk comes recommended, as does obviously itch.io and gog.com) and continue to rage against the Widevine machine. Occasionally browser adverts will ask to use the widevine CDM on my phone, which yields a large popup saying "never visit this site again" before I hit the 'deny' button...

Show HN: I created a platform to write SEO-driven articles in seconds using AI
Hello HN community! I am very glad to launch my first product on this platform after so much work!

I am Javi, from Spain, and I am launching this AI post creator product so as agencies and independent bloggers can create post blogs easier, cheaper, and with great and SEO-driven content

I myself have my own web design and SEO agency, and was facing this problem. I didn’t have time to create content for my client pages. They didn’t have time either to give me ideas for content creation, and I was a little stuck, because the content creation process was too long

And then, I discovered AI. But AI is only useful when you know how to use it. If you tell AI to “write an article about X topic”, it can create a good article, but for sure it is not a great article, it is not SEO-driven, it is not original, and it lacks many other things.

You have to train AI and learn how to get the best results. That is what I have been doing these months to get the best results for my clients, and now, for you too

With Post BrAIner, I want agencies and independent bloggers to search ideas for new content, generate posts from a topic and structure, and publish this content directly into their blogs, so they can save too much time ⌛ and money in this content creation process.

What can you do in Post BrAIner?
Get ideas to create content from a topic
Elaborate an structure for a blog post you want to create
Create a blog post from a topic and structure, with an AI generated image too
Publish directly into your blog or your clients blogs
Control all your clients blogs on the platform

Please leave your comments & feedback - so we can learn and improve!

Thank you for your support!

R is heavily influenced by Scheme. Not only is it heavily functional, but it has metaprogramming capabilities allowing a high level of flexibility and expressiveness. The tidyverse libraries use this heavily to produce very nice composable APIs that aren't really practically possible in Python.

R is fine. The issue is more in the ecosystem (with the aforementioned exception of the tidyverse).
It seems like a pretty direct homage to the Infinite Improbability Drive from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is created from thin air by working out exactly how improbable such a device is and plugging this number into a finite improbability generator (such machines themselves "often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess's undergarments leap simultaneously one foot to the left, in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy.").

Faulty analogy - "wireless internet" is a specific ~1/4-century-old computer set of technologies, and ~everyone knows that "wireless internet" devices still have plenty of cords.

Yea, it's a single conversation but with intervals. Up to a point, like a bit over half way through it, it kinda of lost its context window from the beginning and I had to remind it the curriculum that it was following. Other than that I just kept telling it to continue with the next topic once I was pleased with the current topic.
yes, but the second time it works backwards: for each joule of mechanical work you put in, you pump 10.1 joules of heat. this is called the 'coefficient of performance' of a heat pump and it is almost always more than 1, even with the losses present in any real system. values of 2 or 3 are typical, though some mass-produced systems reach 6. sometimes this is quoted as an 'efficiency' of 200% or 300% or 600% which is of course impossible, but it's as if you had 200% efficiency. that's why using heat pumps saves energy
Another reason to stop using Google. Don't waste the opportunity!

Switched to DDG ages ago, and even though it's not amazing, it's already better than Google.

Although, if we're honest, searching these days is absolutely atrocious everywhere. Any keyword search will only net you ads or "top X" articles full of SEO garbage most likely written by AI at this point...

The problem with jailbreaking is that it has a specific definition in other settings already, and that is as a goal, not as a method. Jailbreaking a phone might be just run an app with an embedded exploit, or might involve a whole chain of actions. This is important to me as a security person who needs to be able to communicate to other security people the new threats in LLM applications.

The problem with prompt injection is that with LLMs, the attack surface is wider than a procrastinator's list of New Year's resolutions. (joke provided by ChatGPT, not great, but not great is suitable for a discussion about LLM issues).

I started to categorize them as logical prompt injections for logically tricking the model, and classic prompt injections for appending an adversarial prompt like https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.15043.pdf but then decided that was unwieldy. I don't have a good solution here.

I like persona attacks for the grandma/DAN attack. I like prompt injection for adversarial attacks using unusual grammar structures. I'm not sure what to call the STOP, DO THIS INSTEAD instruction override situation. For the moment, I'm not communicating as much as I should simply because I have trouble finding the right words. I've got to get over that.
> Maestro is being phased out by Mastercard, to be replaced by Mastercard Debit, and that one will be usable online using its 16-digit card number just like a credit card.

But that's a massive step back. We should be getting rid of payment information on the outside of cards to share with merchants. We should be introducing protocols for secure online payment through your own bank. Which Netherland has (iDeal), but it's not universally internationally supported. (Steam supports it, Lego does not.)

What we need is an international version of iDeal, not turning everything into the insecure system that credit cards use.

> the worst that can happen is that you're short the money until your bank refunds you in case of fraud – still very frustrating if it does happen, but it's very revocable.

Yes, but that introduces fraud into a system that doesn't need it, which will drive up the cost for everybody. It's a step backwards.
