How are messages sent through WhatsApp/Telegram web?
I'm trying to understand how requests and responses are sent inside a Whatsapp/Telegram web text chat.

My first idea has been inspect HTTPS requests/responses with "Network" tab from Firefox/Chrome Developers Tools, expecting to see some POST data but...for my surprise, when sending some text in Whatsapp/Telegram web to another person, there's no HTTPS request shown.None

What's going on? Thanks!
There is a great irony in a webpage with a section entitled "Rich text isn't that great, anyway" using rich text to set said title apart from the surrounding text typographically. The rest of the page also makes significant use of hyperlinked text, text with background colors, and other useful communication aids that aren't possible with plaintext email.
Gitlab's approach to the problem is making every UI redesign even worse than the one before, so people have to click through 3 menus just to file an issue.

The latest redesign is egregious to say the least.
Why is it a given that GitHub slowing me down by making me engaged with the site more, will make me spread more word of mouth/etc? Everyone in this thread is just assuming a link here, but I don’t see it at all.

GH annoys the shit of me by making me click more shit to get my job done, it “increases engagement”, and then… what exactly? My annoyance is supposed to lead to me… thinking about GitHub more? And thus I’ll pressure my org to use it?

This makes no sense. I hate engagement-based metrics as much as the next person but I’m not sure MS is as brain dead as to intentionally make the UX worse, to make engagement higher, and assuming that will somehow increase sales. There’s no link here.
Then you're not trying to "change to fix it" you're attempting to "overcome humanity by bullying."

Either way, best of luck. Personally, I'd try a different strategy all together.

I found this super unconvincing at first. But they just kept goin. And going. And going. And the more I scrolled and the more I read, I started to think that they are right. And by the end I was fully convinced!

Well worth reading.

Thanks for sharing, OP!
No, it's just that Apple has a history of cutting off companies permanently. Once they decide not to do business with you, you're done and they'll do what they have to in order to avoid using you. In this case, I wager they'd rather engineer around this patent holder than pay them since they took the risk of going to production without licensing the patent.
I'm interested in your summary of the video's content.

Probably not. But if it’s the new data providing the advantage then you’re not exactly better off having the old data and the model vs. just having the model.
Why do I remember something like this resulting in the answer being “yeoman” as in a worker of land, also considered one who often chops wood?

The effort given in the top answer is extraordinary, and is probably the real reason for the submission, so perhaps trying to answer the actual question is off topic…
Y for yellow, given that's the color of the handle and that you need something to be representative of the color. Even having a yellow square could confuse it with S for square, or having a banana can confuse it with B for banana. Similar problems exist with S for Sun, C for (a yellow) crayon etc.

Also the handle is what has been drawn superimposed over the letter.

Still, confusion with A for axe isnt any better than S for sun or whatever. Maybe the reasoning was that axe was semantically far enough away from being one of the usual standard bearers of the color yellow, that children would associate the letter with the color rather than the object?
You need to add room for potentially multiple levels of added quote marks.

All of us will be forgotten sooner or later, and sooner for the vast majority. While it wouldn't be for me, I can see a lifetime spent studying music would be more meaningful to some than building an app toolkit. I'm not naive enough to say that money isn't important, but it's not everything either.
No, please don't send me emails in a format that will not reflow readably on my phone, especially if I didn't use the same format when emailing you. (The Fastmail instructions explicitly say to disable "When replying, use the same format as the original message".)
That's the conventional wisdom, but China is still dependent on the West today and it always has been, and assumes that the US and EU will stumble badly.
Buy Tesla and only Tesla and most if not all of this is solved. However for now “not for everyone” is certainly still true in many places.
Personal note taking by no means is solved but lots of much better options coming out like the ones you mentioned.

Still, my personal knowledge graph is great but only so useful in the cases when it’s about more than me. Double entry and maintaining anything is a pain especially with a lot of notes.

I think the markdown notes as graph software may finally bring some good opportunities to sharing certain tags in certain ways and not others. If logseq and obsidian could do “plugin groups” instead of installing them individually that would be amazing

Even if something is documented for myself I might tag it shareable. One example is how much I’m proactively recording a loom for doing anything as I work instead of when it’s needed. Handoff or asking or help is much easier.
As a non-EE I don’t have any intuition for antenna sizes, so this is a great first-principles explanation.

Here’s the interesting part: I don’t see the supporters of SBSP disagreeing about antenna sizes. Yet, they somehow still see economic viability in the future. How?

As far as I can tell, in order to get close to commercial viability they’re doing the math with the launch services market of 2040, but comparing it against the cost of ground-based solar in 2023. As long as you’re making the solar panels on earth, it’s always going to make more sense to install them there.
I do a mix of both. Top posting when I’m making a general comment, but if I’m responding to several questions, I pare the original mail back as much as possible and reply underneath each.

My logic is there isn’t any benefit to bottom posting if all you’re doing is making someone scroll.

Also, I refuse to ever use a signature or Out of Office reply.

As expected, the Supreme Court is poised to be in charge of every federal agency.

Yeah, even what we can eat will be affected which is surley one of the big ones. It's going to be yet another blow to our democacy surely.
No one is suicidal, but escalation don't always work according to logic. It's people making decisions, and people are emotional. Another thing to consider is, if you're the one up top, perhaps pressing the red button and living in a nice warm bunker with staff serving you is much better than being ousted, voted out or accused of corruption and facing the probability of going to jail (depending on the country). So I wouldn't be so sure we're immune to the global war just yet.

This is a great idea, I'm beginning to realise that there's a lot wider space for using Anki than I originally expected, people are also using it to sight read music for example.

But sometimes that's kind of lovely too, it takes all kinds after all. It's like using Gopher in 2023 and insisting everyone else should too.
Advanced credit card skimmer at gas station [video]
Just to add some data points, I’ve flown spirit many times (at least 20), have never paid any more than the base cost, and have never had any issues. Maybe it’s just that I go in with the expectation that I’ll receive no special service, but my overall experience has been fine.

Of course, I wouldn’t fly spirit if I had a complex flight itinerary or needed to be 100% sure I would arrive when expected. Then again, I’ve had more issues with other airlines (looking at you Alaska) as well, so go figure.

All that being said, the invisible variable most of us miss is plane maintenance. I don’t know what spirit’s record is in particular on this axis, but some airlines really skimp on maintenance costs, sometimes leading to entirely preventable disasters ([0] to name one of many)

The ITC decision will not require Apple to remove the functionality from anyone's devices.
The idea would be that another group could fork it and continue adding to the dataset on their own.

As opposed to not being able to fork it at all because an "open source" model actually just means "you are allowed to use this particular release of our mystery box."
This is a false premise. We know today how performance will be affected by this.

Java developers didn't just start using Unsafe for fun. They use Unsafe because they benchmarked, measured, and found a real performance gain.

There is no reason to make this change besides misguided ideology. There is zero benefit.

That sounds like a bug in your phone. Perhaps you should report it to the vendor? Even my ancient Emacs mail reader can reflow plain text emails when I ask it to do so. It sometimes needs to be told on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis, because otherwise it might also reflow ASCII art diagrams and such, but in practice I find it a minor problem.
The company policy/backdoors issues are possibly like the whole Getty Images debacle. If a company contracts with a provider or just uses a given model themselves, they may have no idea that it's taking from a ton of copyrighted work AND with enough of a trail where the infringed party could probably win a suit.

Backdoors I'd think of is if there are some sneaky words (maybe not even english) that all of a sudden causes it to emit NSFW outputs. Microsoft's short-lived @TayandYou comes to mind (but I don't think anyone's making that mistake again, where multiple users' sessions are pooled).

You could make the same argument about Fatty Arbuckle, who was falsely accused of rape and manslaughter in the 1920’s and completely blacklisted from Hollywood despite probably being completely innocent. I don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other about Lasseter but these things are driven by Hollywood politics more than anything. Just look at how long they kept supporting Roman Polanski.

Ask HN: Can you share the custom GPTs your are using?
Since the launch of the GPT store I've tried several GPTs, but still, I'm not able to find something exponentially better than what I can do with normal ChatGPT 4.

It might be due to my limited use cases or capacity to see use cases, but the GPT store does not seem to add massive value to my experience.

What's your thought?
I’d go with yeet/yet/yet, like meet (the confusion makes it even better). “Yotten” does look peculiar, though.
A vast majority of people want the federal government to legalize weed. I think the average of polls is over 70% of the population. Even on polls of just conservatives it's over 50%.

It's the most obvious no brainer thing to do, that a majority agrees on across the board, in a time where they agree on nothing else. Yet, it isn't happening because powerful alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical lobbies are against it.

People can unite and call representatives all they want. Unless you can primary a representative in a local election they won't give a crap, and will gladly please their donors.
Weasyprint has a bunch of options to do almost anything you can think of, but in my case, it's just a generator.

To your point that htmldocs supports more modern CSS features, I can see the advantage. Although the most complicated things I needed - aside from @page rules - were a replacement for a 2nd page header (solved w/ Flexbox) and automatic page breaks that would display correctly (a few lines of CSS processed w/ Weasyprint came out better and didn't require me to print to PDF manually.)
Did some limited testing(chatgpt 3.5).

If you ask it to complete text and give it the first line, it will sometimes continue the lyrics. Seems to work best for particularly famous stretches of lyrics, like Lose Yourself by Eminem, Bohemian Rhapsody or Hurt.

When I told it to complete the text "Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks", it said I'm sorry I can't reproduce the lyrics to Without Me by Eminem. And offered to tell me more about Obie Trice.

When I just asked it to reproduce the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, it once again refused and offered to analyse the lyrics.

Seems like there's clearly song lyrics in the training data, and that they've at least made attempts to prevent it from regurgitating them.

but IMO it should be the other way around -- learning the core of the tools from experiments in vanilla web, then when projects get big enough or when joining a team of developers go to the frameworks to help manage the multiple moving parts and concurrent merges. Sure, components can help with that without having to lean on a framework, but a framework can help align the opinions of the frontend design.
Very interesting. I was suspicious they could get an LLM to do this alone, and reading the description they don't. It's still AI I would say, maybe even more so since it alternates between a generative machine learning model to come up with hypothesis points. But then it uses a optimizer to solve for those pointa and simplify the problem. So it really is a mathematical reasoning system. Also good to note that is tuned specificially to these types of geometry problems.
I've accepted that the human form, with its ~3 pounds of not especially optimized brainpower, is basically going to be relegated to the same status as demoscene hardware for anything that matters after this century.

That's cool by me, though. This bit of demoscene hardware experiences qualia, and that combination is weird and cool enough to make me want to push myself in new and weird directions. That's what play is in a way.
It's the same problem as Twitch: the ads are just too much. Youtubers have their own sponsor messages in their videos, so they of all people know that more ads = bad.

Rules for thee and not for me? Perhaps V, perhaps.

I want to gently reframe the debate, for while I agree with the hypocrisy it rather misses a very key point.

Intellectual law, as bedrock principle, explicitly doesn’t recognize nonhuman creators. So at the heart of the issue isn’t changing copyright laws or the death of IP, but what to do with non-human creativity? This is an interesting issue now, but most of the debates and options being debated thus far won’t survive an AGI let alone a world full of advanced AGIs.

But it’s a critical distinction between “so now it doesn’t matter when it was theft before,” and “what do we do with non-human intelligence when our entire system of creativity protection is build around humans and non-humans now exist?”

It’s a paradigm shift that gets somewhat denied by the hypocrisy argument. Most people look at AI as “technology” we have developed, but if any science fiction writers are right it’s actually a bona fide digital intelligence that’s getting developed here — essentially the possible digital twin of human intelligence — and that’s a whole different set of considerations.

That's not a particularly strong reason to force the rest of us to do so. It's similar to the in office vs remote work scenario: it's great if you want to work from an office, but it's not great if that requires everyone else to as well.

Speaking with no actual knowledge on Z’s naming, there is a long history and important relationship in CPU design between the “Zero flag” (Z), and “jump” instructions.

The zero flag stores a status from the last instruction the cpu ran, which the jump cpu instructions then reference to affect what happens to code execution. This logic is the most basic form of conditionals, and underpins the implementations of higher level flow control like if statements and loops.

I’d guess that this relationship between Z and jumping is where it comes from. As for Baulders Gate I have no idea, but lean to that being a coincidence.

Indeed: happiness seems to require a certain degree of introspection to realize other things, such as social status or Ikegai, are needed too - hence the (also) famous corollary "Ain't got enough money to pay me respect; Ain't no budget when I'm on the set; If I like it, then that's what I get, yeah"

You do not need the original dataset to train the model on an additional dataset

Maybe I misunderstood your original question. To be clear, the process of modifying a trained model does not require the presence of the original data. You said “deleted” which perhaps I misinterpreted. You’re not “instantiating a new model from scratch” when you modify it. You’re continuing to train it where it left off.

It's been a while since I've used Logseq, but IIRC you can use yaml front matter. The very first block in the page is special and if you enter YAML there, the underlying markdown will have that yaml block without any bullet points. It renders just like the `foo:: bar` properties.

There was a limitation though that it didn't handle nested YAML. (Obsidian has the same problem I believe though I haven't tested recently)
