Note that there are no "thinking machines" in any of the original Dune novels by Frank Herbert. His son has worked with Brian Sanderson to create several prequels which detail the original Butlerian Jihad (the war against the machines), and a sequel series that is supposed to be based on Frank Herbert's notes, but seems to quite clearly veer off (and that one recontexualizes some mysterious characters in from the last two novels as machines).
Apple also lets you do this.
Very happy to read that it uses the same form factor and connections as CM4 did. I was hoping we wouldn't even up with yet another socket.

I've just worked on personal projects, not always even releasing them (because they tend not to be small projects), and put it as freelance development work in my resume for any gaps (it's true, I did work on those things). I don't think I've been asked about that once. Never been an issue as far as I know (maybe it pre-screened me out from a few places).

Your idea is interesting but might be more elaborate than you even need.

Hi, PL-funded founder here.

This was one of the things that made IPFS a non-starter for us. We ended up grafting Hashicorp Vault into kubo (the go-ipfs implementation) so that we could use IPFS and have things like detetes and access revocation that actually work.
It's the same for Great Britain. We plundered the wealth of countless countries.
> 'Immediate mode UI' is only an API design philosophy, it says nothing about what happens under the hood.

Well, if you have a traditional immediate mode API like:

if (button("Start"))
start();

Then it's not just about the API philosophy: at the very least, it ties the event handling to the drawing.

DDG uses bing search behind the scenes. In terms of the quality of the results, those two should be the same. Bing has more "related" links sprinkled in with its results, but the main results are the same between the two.
I get what you're saying, but why hasn't a better search engine emerged yet?

Bing's AI shows some promise, but I can't find anything better than Google. DuckDuckGo is shit. Classic Bing is shit. Brave Search showed promise, but it's also full of spam and with a smaller index. Marginalia showed some promise for smaller websites, but it's small, too.

All of them are unusable for local searches, except for Google, which is where I need search most. That and searching for obscure programming-related error messages.

Kagi doesn't even use it's own index, you're basically paying for a UI making API calls to Bing and Google. How well does changing the ranking work anyway, if you don't have your own index?

I want to believe that if Google were more aligned with users, search would be better. But where is that better search engine to showcase it?

Do a poll on HN. I bet that the vast majority of users here still use Google's search, and you can't blame HN users of not knowing of alternatives.

If Google really keeps its market share due to their monopoly, where is that better option that's being ignored? Tell me and I'll jump on it.

Long-term stats are tricky because of how much of the landscape has changed. There's the desktop/mobile split, developing countries increasing their internet use, heavier use of apps, growth and decline of results getting indexed, and change in what we search for.

That’s the key line.

Not dismissing the massive (promised) investment.

In the long term, we'll expand out from that. It will be industry by industry, since the contracts you need for eg manufacturing or catering are going to be very different than software.

Some of our agreements, like the NDA, are already used in other industries since they are more industry agnostic
Just now I was searching for flares,and after 5 attempts with different keywords I could not even get the Wikipedia page, just ads and blog spam for boating flares. Went to ddg and got informative links and the wiki entry first try.

Google is garbage, has been for quite some time.
86-DOS was modeled after CP/M, with separate BIOS (hardware drivers) and BDOS (filesystem) modules. What was translated from Z80 is likely the BIOS code, since SCP already had written that before the 8086 CPU card existed.

And all versions supported both CALL 5 and INT 21h for system calls (not 5, which was reserved by Intel, though IBM didn't care about that when they designed the PC and used it for "print screen"). That doesn't mean the implementation was based on leaked CP/M code, let alone literally translated.
Well, maybe a balance between a stoic parrot and a "thinking machine" might be the best approach.

You're missing the fact that they can't. At least that's the claim. Could Apple have built the iPhone without Steve Jobs? Enough engineers were certainly there to build it, but it took him to make it happen. While Musk's bonafides are subject to debate, the fact is he's the person most central to this story, regardless of if he's personally the one holding the calipers and entering things into Solidworks.

Is the person who builds a house only just the carpenter that physically puts up the structure, or is it the person organizing and funding the whole effort?
> How should that work?

By the users of the software I publish noticing the license that states that while I hope this software is useful to them, it is provided with `"NO WARRANTY, NOT EVEN FOR FITNESS OF PURPOSE" and planning accordingly.

If you're an entity that wants to ensure that software you use from a source that you have approximately zero power over (and has explicitly provided NO warranty for that software) is and continues to be fit for purpose, you're going to have to inspect that software at a point in time, determine if it is fit for your purposes, and carefully inspect every future version of that software that you're considering using.

There really are no shortcuts. Requiring one to drink a Confirmation Can to log in doesn't change the math here.
I wouldn't go as far as to say business executives have good social skills. They are often ruthless, cunning, and deceiving, which makes them successful.
If by good social skills you mean the ability to convince (read deceive) a lot of people, then sure they have good social skills.
But who wants to have a beer with their CEO, VP of Sales, or other top exec? They are often depicted as wolves or sharks for a reason.
It is true that they are good at networking with other people like them, but not really good at empathizing, helping, or caring for others.
I'm not sure how much of it is space, as I remember even 20-30 years ago the model railroad magazines always had a "how to fit a layout in the space you have" - up to and including elaborate folding layouts that would fit in something not much bigger than a briefcase.

If people really want to do something, they make space/time available for it, even if it involves clubs, etc.

The number of people who want to build models in general is down, I suspect, given that we have so many other things to do with "free time".
LeftoverLocals: Listening to LLM responses through leaked GPU local memory
I think you could follow a carrot and stick approach to reduce the largest harms of homelessness. Get caught using drugs or alcohol in public, or harassing people? Jail, with deferment into a mental health program (which is also available to all homeless folks). Stay in the mental health program, and you get housed, for free at first, and then a small percent of your income once you get a job.
Thank you. I was unaware of that. It still seems like there may be creative options that costs less than $86 billion.
I visited a small country in my last vacation. I ended up bringing a bit of money back because I was in a hurry I thought it would be easy to exchange back at home, even at worse rates. I live in a big city after all. Of course, I was very wrong.

I spent an afternoon Googling every possible incantation only to get useless AI generated text, travel agency sites or simply unrelated content.

I was about to accept my loss when I tried Kagi. The first page showed an exchange that accepted the currency. Very far from me and with terrible rates, but still.

Anecdata and all, but the fact is that I'm using Kagi more and more and it's winning my trust and good will fast.
Not to mention that pretty much all ad sales are managed not by engineers, but by that third business exec group.
Definitely I think the way we use the internet has changed profoundly. There are a lot of apps that provide useful information but they may not be made indexable by search engines. Much less useful information is simply out there on the open web, and much of it are locked behind logins. There were previous deals like Twitter sending a completely copy of all new tweets to Google, but these are basically dying.

It's especially interesting since you mentioned normalizing searches by the number of internet users. The country with the largest number of internet users is China, with more than 1 billion of them. And they don't have access to Google. And their local copycat, Baidu, is years behind Google in terms of technological sophistication and simultaneously years ahead of Google in terms of user hostility. So what do Internet users in China do in a post-search world? They simply open various apps and use the full text search feature of different apps. For general knowledge they might open ZhiHu and search there; for something resembling the old-time personal blogs by individual users they might open XiaoHongShu and search there; for short videos they might open Douyin and for long ones Bilibili. For reaching an organization be it a store or a museum or a hospital or a government department they might open WeChat and search there for an official account or mini program (a mini program is a website that uses WeChat APIs and can only be opened in WeChat).

I made these observations on a recent trip to China and it's clear to me what a post-search world looks like because China is already there.
You get what you pay for. I've yet to be involved in an off shore project that went well and I've been close to them for 10 years.
I just opened a ticket with notion on mobile and plan on switching because I can’t use it for simple notes. This is the amount of steps it takes to login and you have to do it all the time:

* unlock your phone
* tap notion
* you're logged out - avoid the big login with x sso buttons, scan for and click the little text that's black on black labeled "login here with email"
* type my email out (no autofill)
* tap submit
* exit app, open mail
* find the notion email, usually it's right there other times, you must refresh constantly, sometimes it takes whole minutes because it's email
* highlight as much of the password as you are able but not all of it because you can't due to the dashes
* adjust highlighted text while holding down long enough to pop up the copy context window or memorize a cute phrase with dashes and type it out without making a mistake, 3 taps a dash (x4) because mobile keyboard layering
* hit copy, exit app, open notion
* press and hold in the textbox for the paste window or type it out
* finally hit paste and submit
* remember what you were trying to do quickly

Now add slow or glitchy(5g+) internet and it doesn’t work.

Even if you wanted to tie yourself permanently to an sso provider, a lot of the time, they too require re auth. If you have 2fa on (as you should) that's as many steps. The push for sso is also incredibly annoying. I’ve nearly deplatformed very intentionally.

Notion does a lot of funky things like refuse to build and offline mode which exacerbates this.

One other thing I don’t like about “passwordless” is biometric as a security feature instead of it as a convenience. 1Password removed passcode unlock on mobile in favor of faceid. Which if you don’t use it results in entering your full long password every time you use it, even if you just used it. Apparently I wasn’t the only one that complained because they restored the feature shortly after removing it. I unlock my friends phones while they are driving with faceid all the time. Too easy, not secure enough for the app that has most of my secrets.

Use 2fa, local passcodes that require reauth occasionally, and assume you are running on a locked device, if logging in from a new place maybe 3fa like Coinbase.
If that's true, then it's just a plot to let Tesla's shareholders pay for his Twitter shenanigans?
I disagree, I feel like the applications are limited.
Your question implies that Outline is opensource. It's not. I reread your question as "What are good opensource alternatives?" and it makes sense.
When I am back in Australia (from the US) friends/family tell me "you haven't lost your accent" which I interpret as them telling me "I watch a lot of American television".

Losing that accent was deliberate, if sad, but IME Americans aren't really tolerant of non-US accents, even when they find them cute. And the speech recognition systems are definitely intolerant.
If I had a lot more free time, I've been noodling with some designs for a text editor with modes. It would start up by default in the equivalent of vim's insert mode where all the normal CUA keybindings (e.g. ctrl-c for copy) worked. But with many more. Then, if you go to the equivalent of normal mode you can just press X to do the same thing ctrl-X does in insert mode.

Genuinely could be the same setup with a 8GB Pi 4 or 5, slap it into a network cabinet with power and ethernet and just let it rip. Maybe with an additional IMU and brightness sensor, then it can detect it's been picked up and discovered so it can commit sudoku before it's unplugged and analysed.

Note: After reading the paper, there are serious methodology issues. ChatGPT without any human involvement (simply reading the task as instructions and producing an answer) produced a better "quality" result than any human involvement in many tasks.

My read: ChatGPT produces what we pre-view as "correct".

They even kind of state this: "when human subjects use ChatGPT there is a reduction in the variation in the eventual ideas they produce. This result is perhaps surprising one would assume that ChatGPT, with its expansive knowledge base, would instead be able to produce many very distinct ideas, compared to human subjects alone."

My read: The humans converge towards what is already viewed as "correct". Its like being in a business and your boss already knows exactly what your boss actually wants, and any variation you produce is automatically "bad" anyways.

There is also a drastic difference in the treatment of the in/out/on "frontier" subject. Lots of talk about how great adding AI is to "inside frontier" tasks, no similar graphs/charts for "outside frontier" tasks. Finally, if these people are consultants and business profs, they produce some crazily bad charts. Figure 3 in the appendix is so difficult to read.

Only if you want Push. Pull / Fetch is initiated from the device.

But the Push is initiated from a server. So the server must get a notification of a new email. IMAP-PUSH / Outlook has support for that on a desktop, but not on a mobile device.

So if you get push from a 3rd party email, they listen for new emails in your name. Whether via the technologies mentioned above, or some other APIs, it's done on a server, and the server triggers the Push to your phone.
I mean when you look at all the raised and pinned domains it's almost entirely programming related topics so "programmers dislike sites that have terrible browser experiences for unauth'd users" is like the least surprising thing.
I manage the site in Git, and Hugo generates a static site, so in theory there would be no live site issues as builds could be cleared before deployment.

But for actually tracking down problems with the build, Hugo is pretty clear on syntax problems, bailing the build (and local preview site-serving) as soon as it hits one.

For multiple authors, I think Hugo could support a taxonomy as the way to track & display an author. It'd be up to the file management (Git in this case) as far as individual permissions are concerned.

First of all, no need to call somebody miserable when they were polite in their comment to begin with.

I agree they might not be a weak link, but if a company needs to cut costs and the data shows they're not performing, it makes sense for them to be cut. It's not anything personal -- we're in a tough economic environment and living in a capitalistic society means that this can happen.
There's a lot of great advice here already on improving your résumé - I agree with pretty much all of it.

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet though is the typo quite close to the start - 'impariments'. That'd be a red flag for me regarding attention to detail.

In this highly competitive market, résumé optimisation matters more than ever. Mine's certainly not perfect.

I don't know if the overall search quality has degraded or not, but SEO has been become definitely a much more severe issue than ever before. Google is the main target for this attack for obvious reasons but no other search engines are really immune to this. I'm skeptical if this can be tackled by any technical solutions; the problem is not just a specific type of SEO spamming but the structure where the enemies are constantly optimizing against your fundamental goal.

If you don't want to read the full thing, Mollick's substack has more accessible summary of this paper:

https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/centaurs-and-cyborgs-on-the...

There are two sides to this thing. The first author of this paper has also written another paper titles "Falling Asleep at the Wheel: Human/AI Collaboration in a Field Experiment". Abstract:

"As AI quality increases, humans have fewer incentives to exert effort and remain attentive, allowing the AI to substitute, rather than augment their performance... I found that subjects with higher quality AI were less accurate in their assessments of job applications than subjects with lower quality AI. On average, recruiters receiving lower quality AI exerted more effort and spent more time evaluating the resumes, and were less likely to automatically select the AI-recommended candidate. The recruiters collaborating with low-quality AI learned to interact better with their assigned AI and improved their performance. Crucially, these effects were driven by more experienced recruiters. Overall, the results show that maximizing human/AI performance may require lower quality AI, depending on the effort, learning, and skillset of the humans involved."

Notice how were 3 layers deep in a conversation about "AI safety" without anyone actually giving an opinion I support of safety.

If I were a betting man I'd say the fact that the most public "AI safety" orgs/people/articles don't address the actual concerns people have is intended. It's much easier to argue against an opinion you've already positioned as ridiculous.

A 15” MacBook Pro was 0.61” in 2019, the same as the 14” is now. The 16” model is 0.05” thicker. I am skeptical that any noticeable group of users finds that significant, or that it has any measurable impact on thermal characteristics.

This is also missing the larger point: Apple does not run the PC industry. They’re popular but if they were pushing something unpopular, one of their competitors would have seen better sales for thicker models. Since even the gamers aren’t willing to buy larger laptops, I think they’re pretty clued in for what the buying public values.
