> I can do a rough inventory of my IPv4 home network (120 devices) by looking at hostnames for DHCPv4 leases, no such thing exists for IPv6.

You mean, you can do a rough inventory of IPv4 devices that are well-behaved and want to be found.

Unless you have enterprise-y network gear, which can do port isolation and preferably 802.1x auth, it's trivial for a host to poison your switch's ARP tables to check whether the address it wants to use it free, and then simply use that address without requesting it from the DHCP server[1].

The DHCP server will check that no hosts are using that address (usually via ICMP) before assigning any leases to it, but won't (at least for any common DHCP servers) register a lease for any host it discovers, so the rogue device doesn't even need to worry about changing addresses when a new host joins the network. At best, you might discover the presence of such a device by checking your DHCP server's logs.

Since no common consumer-grade NAT implementations check whether the internal host has a valid lease before establishing NAT state, the rogue internal device is free to communicate with any external host. Even better, the rogue device can send packets with a from-address of other devices on your network, allowing it to punch arbitrary holes in your NAT.

As other commenters mentioned, you can get a similar level network surveillance for IPv6 using mDNS, but at least IPv6 isn't lulling you into a false sense that you can see all the devices on your network in the lease table.

[1] Actually, it doesn't even need to do that... it can simply start using an address and then change to another address if connectivity seems to be a problem.
Since Melania Trump was a reasonably successful model, it's actually not difficult for her since she could probably easily satisfy 3 of the following —

Evidence of published material about you in professional or major trade publications or other major media

Evidence that you have been asked to judge the work of others, either individually or on a panel

Evidence that your work has been displayed at artistic exhibitions or showcases

Evidence of your performance of a leading or critical role in distinguished organizations

Evidence that you command a high salary or other significantly high remuneration in relation to others in the field

Evidence of your commercial successes in the performing arts

Any language or framework that lets the caller specify if a parameter may be a string or an array of strings should probably be avoided, IMO. The cost of this one error likely outweighs the total value realized by use of the feature.

Keep in mind that Twitter might ban you for doing that. They really don't like anything that could be considered scraping (unless you pay them a lot of money).

Abstract

"Unlike routine tasks where consistency is prized, in creativity and innovation the goal is to
create a diverse set of ideas. This paper delves into the burgeoning interest in employing
Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the productivity and quality of the idea generation process.
While previous studies have found that the average quality of AI ideas is quite high, prior
research also has pointed to the inability of AI-based brainstorming to create sufficient
dispersion of ideas, which limits novelty and the quality of the overall best idea. Our research
investigates methods to increase the dispersion in AI-generated ideas. Using GPT-4, we explore
the effect of different prompting methods on Cosine Similarity, the number of unique ideas, and
the speed with which the idea space gets exhausted. We do this in the domain of developing a
new product development for college students, priced under $50. In this context, we find that (1)
pools of ideas generated by GPT-4 with various plausible prompts are less diverse than ideas
generated by groups of human subjects (2) the diversity of AI generated ideas can be
substantially improved using prompt engineering (3) Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting leads to
the highest diversity of ideas of all prompts we evaluated and was able to come close to what is
achieved by groups of human subjects. It also was capable of generating the highest number of
unique ideas of any prompt we studied."

Keywords: innovation, idea generation, creativity, creative problem solving, LLM, large-scale language models, AI, artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, idea space, prompt engineering

Yep exactly, that too!
I have not been to Reddit after they effectively shut down RiF.
Bringing up any celebrity to prove a point that something is worth spending absurd amounts of money to study seems silly. Is that the lie we sell now? Get into debt to become a movie star?
That's a net positive then
Obviously there's variance between models but comparing the Hummer EV to the H3 it's nearly double the weight, nearly two tons heavier.

This seems like a cool quality of life tool! I loved when Arc added a similar feature for re-naming downloaded files appropriately.

I don't think I'd ever want the "chat with your screenshots" feature though - the renaming applying to other areas of my digital life would be more useful. iOS photos (IMG_1234.HEIC) on export seems like a similar use case. I hate converting and renaming those!

Freelancing. To your specific questions:

Optimizing work-life: When you can decide what kind of work you want to do, whom you work for, how much time you spend working, and how much you charge you can make whatever balance you want. You probably can't optimize all of those but you can optimize a lot better than when under the constraints of a regular job, or the stress of trying to launch a startup.

Stable income: Freelancing can provide a solid stable income if you cultivate long-term relationships, establish trust, negotiate retainer agreements, and charge enough so you don't have to work all the time.

Remote work: Free of the legal/cultural issues and expectations of regular employment you can contract with customers, then focus on solving their business problems. Customers usually don't care where you do that from as long as you communicate and deliver.

Recommended resources: I don't have any, sorry. The successful freelancers I know got out of the f/t job grind after years of experience in traditional jobs. You need marketable skills, good communication, domain expertise, and enough business sense to find your niche and negotiate fairly. You also need the instincts to avoid time-wasting, cheap, and toxic customers. I don't know of any shortcuts.

Key skills for freelancers: Really listen to the customer so you're solving their problems, not incidental technical problems. Reputation and referrals should become your main way to get work over time. Cultivate relationships, not just LinkedIn-style networking. You don't have to know everything or become the top expert, just more effective than average. Customers (and employers) very often aren't looking for the 10x person, they just want a 1X person because so many employees and contractors deliver close to 0x.
This was the dream of RSS, but it went against the long-term business interests of the corporations hosting content, so it has since largely faded away
Exactly. Even the reddit blackouts etc did nothing really - sure a few people left in a huff and all that jazz, but Reddit is still trucking along happily.
The only time I've seen the "eff it, we're leaving!" thing actually work was with Digg v4.
This could happen when the owner of a domain loses or drops it, and a bad actor picks it up.

All they have to do is set up a SMTP server and wait for junk mails, thereby learning about the e-mail addresses. Say Walmart sends some flyer. Poof, they have that user's e-mail, and the fact they are registered with Walmart.
This is unfortunate but not unexpected. The whole non-Apple ecosystem is a cluster. I can tell you though I have been very happy with Withings.

I loved my Fitbits and they went south post-Google. I was not into charging a watch every day with my Samsung Galaxy watches. Then, enter Withings. I can actually go many days without running for a charger. Notifications are fine. I still get steps and pulse ox and EKG.
One of my dogs is white with black spots over her body, with very curious facial features. Her right eye is surrounded by a big black spot, her right ear is heavily spotted but still quite white. Her left ear has a black spot centered on its base that covers the whole ear, her right eye has white all around.

I've not managed to make Dall-E to draw her.

I wanted it to draw 2 people with certain characteristics with two generic dogs with certain colours (nothing complex on the dog side). Up to the two people and a dog it more or less managed. Adding the last dog and the location made it mangle everything.

All through the chat interface.

For me it's still lacking on some things.
It's created a reverse eternal September. The masses stay confined to one place. Other places can flourish with the old school smaller community kind of feel and quality. Let twitter live in its current state if it means other places won't be taken over by influencers and other bullshit.
Reddit the non-profit frontends are still working (redreader for android is good).

Twitter, instagram etc. there's nothing even this reasonable.

Begs the question what will the future open web forum/discussion place be? Lemmy doesn't seem to have really hit the simplicity to attract users
X/Twitter is a gross network. It’s like posting links to 4chan.
Yeah. It's similar to the Gettier problem.

You know, people often belittle philosophy as a useless field, and for some fields and subjects they are very right in that (witness all the arguments over finitism or existential inertia), but I think there are a few fields of philosophy that are actually really important. Not because they give answers, but because they give you a larger, richer, and consequently more nuanced tool set with which to approach certain categories of problems that are otherwise difficult to think about, or even notice as problems in the first place, by giving you access to a whole history of thought. In this respect I think philosophy of mind, epistemology, language, semiotics, and to a lesser extent ethics have crucial bearing on the things we see happening nowadays, including the advent of large language models. It's frustrating as someone who's really interested in philosophy to see people discuss these things where long history of philosophical thought is relevant without any real respect for or experience in those fields. It leaves their arguments often reductionist and/or bereft of strong argument and clear reasoning, full of implicit assumptions and ignored details, even when they're right.
Yep exactly. I’m also a big formula 1 fan and it’s the only place where I can get insight from engineers who are involved in the day to day of building race cars for ex.

Reddit’s f1 subreddit has really degraded in quality unfortunately (just people posting clickbait articles).

It’s the same for investing, politics, cars, poker and everything else I enjoy.
Of the top of my head, cadmium and lead, low level radioactive waste from associated lithium extraction from spodumene concentrates, pools of acids as a result of rare earth processing, etc.

Solar, wind, batteries etc are growing but as yet are only a small percentage of the energy produced by coal - as coal is phased out and replaced the waste from renewables will grow.

To be absolutely clear, I am not anti renewable energy .. but there are some serious waste issues associated with all forms of rare earth and other concentrate pocessing. Pretending there isn't would be just head in the sand greenwashing of recycling issues.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) did a 100 page report 8 years ago on the need to harvest solar panels to recover materials to form a closed cycle. To date we're still dominated by end-of-life e-waste going to landfill to be recoved "later".

https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication...

That's one form of waste. The associated and often overlooked other form of waste is the byproducts from first creation, the processing of mined concentrates into useful materials comes with a slew of nasty by products that have yet to be comprehensibly dealt with.

These are material forms of renewable debt.

My kids definitely form stronger and fonder memories from vacations than from more mundane days together.

I think the break from routine and generally more pleasant setting alone is a big factor, so even just taking them to a national park or the beach probably covers a lot of ground vs helicopter rides.

That said, I did a helicopter ride in my 20s and it was pretty amazing and I have vivid recollection even 20 years later
> API restrictions effectively killed alternative frontends, so I simply don't look at Reddit posts anymore.

They recently did a poll to users, asking which UI you use most. I put old reddit because it is. I cannot understand how in what? 6+ years they developed new reddit and still don't have true feature parity? This tells me they don't have their priorities in line, and they want to IPO to boot.

Personally I think some websites don't really have any need to become publicly traded companies, I rather they become profitable and not controllable by the whims of tech illiterate investors.

Most people ride Michelin Commanders on these bikes (Kawasaki Voyager XII) but even the stock tires had sidewalls which cause low speed wobbles and unexpected handlebar locking right as you start to put your foot down. The front tire just doesn't have enough strength for the weight of the bike lol
This makes me think of the Oberlin College judgment. The jury awarded more than the law allowed to Gibson's bakery, so the $44 million dollar judgment was cut by the judge to $25.

Obviously, both Monsanto and Purdue are in a whole different class and scale of harm, but the law can and does cap damages. I don't know why the limits weren't made plain to the jurors, as it just drug out the procedure.

Oh, that's cool! Sounds like it should suffice for my usage also, which is extraordinarily light since they shut down reddit-is-fun. I've mostly replaced that with mastodon, not the same concept but serves a similar "let's scroll and see what's new" function.

After doing some analysis (a while ago) on reddit comment/submission rates before and after the boycott and new rate limits, it seems either only a tiny tiny fraction actually left reddit and/or reddit benefited from the negative publicity as much as or more than they lost. Since nothing has changed since then, I suppose there's no point in me staying off the platform anymore, especially if I'm not contributing with OC submissions or comments. Libreddit sounds like a good way to do that, thanks :)
Not trying to steal anyone's thunder here, but I was so taken with this little program when I saw it earlier today on Twitter that I thought it might be fun to make it somewhat interactive, so that the players could actually influence the path of the balls using the keyboard, and also activate a "speedup" (mode but at the expense of their ability to influence the path). I also added some charts to track the state over time. You can "play" it here:

I give full credit to the original author of this post FWIW.

Kawasaki Voyager XII, as someone commented to you it's a Goldwing sized touring bike with an inline 4 cylinder 1200cc engine. It shares a lot of blood with the Ninja so it's quite a fun bike even for its size, very maneuverable.
What is the motivation behind avoiding no-code? Are you trying to avoid any cost or is it something else?
From what I can see from a quick glance at the code, you have the causality backwards. Each bounce adds a small random variation to each ball's velocity, and if one of them randomly ends up moving faster, then it will tend to gain more territory.
You called it pretty close, it's a Goldwing competitor, the Kawasaki Voyager XII - 1200cc inline 4 cylinder. Half the engine that's in my Jeep Renegade lmao
The speed of the balls are changed by a small random amount when they hit a tile, so it's not deterministic.
An interesting paper, and also a direction worth examining further. I am actually surprised that both a group of humans and GPT-4 output rather diverse ideas. Regarding the latter, however, I do wonder not only the feasibility aspect they discuss but also the radicality of ideas outputted, i.e. whether it can yield true novelty, which I still doubt.
Is it the only article saying this? I'm happy to keep Googling for you guys, but seem to be intentionally ignoring my point.

This is the sweet spot for coding AI - scaffolding when building out greenfield on well-known existing frameworks, and novice-level API usage and procedures.

Nothing wrong with that, we're all novices when picking up something new. I think there's substantial utility here.

I've found the quality of code is often poor though, lacking in safe input handling and error cases. It's basically like Stack Overflow answer code (typically happy path focused), or GitHub projects where someone has uploaded their equivalent of Hello World in a new framework. You can get into a trap, where you try to adjust prompts for more improvement, which may be less efficient than just hacking the code into shape - but you want to try one more prompt, because you might just hit the jackpot.

Other times, the early exchanges strongly bias the rest of the conversation, so sometimes you need to restart to get onto a different track. Auto-regression and context window starts working against you, and the early exchanges look just like few-shot examples to the LLM.

When you have a concrete issue with e.g. a library, and you're trying to achieve something specific enough not to have an example on the internet, you start seeing either hallucinations - convenient methods being invented - or vague suggestions that X or Y can help solve the problem (LLMs love positive language) but the specifics don't work. You've wandered out of the training data distribution and the AI starts looking really limited.

I still use it for learning, seeding initial code for scripts or boilerplate, etc. but I'm not too bullish on AI being able to substantially help the job of a maintenance programmer, not in its current form and interaction style.
Having to make an account to read a website sounds idiotic.

Why should twitter be special in that regard?

It's not so you're essentially promoting the idea that we should have to make an account to read any website, which is idiotic.

Tweeting screenshots of text demonstrates how poor a platform Twitter is, IMO. A core feature -- sharing text -- must sometimes be done in the least efficient way possible, as an image or a series of tweets (that can only be viewed while signed in).

This is a bit surprising to hear. Current Jetpack 6 is Ubuntu 22.04 - this is the current Ubuntu LTS release. There's nothing ancient about it, no? I'm pretty sure, if I go and check versions of CUDA, PyTorch, Tensorflow - it'd be also relatively recent.

I'd suggest checking what examples are available, see what community is doing, see if what you need had already been tried - https://www.jetson-ai-lab.com

From what I've seen, mainstream LLM libraries like VLLM, llamacpp that use CUDA under the hood tend to work out-of-the-box. And there are tutorials available: https://www.jetson-ai-lab.com/tutorial_text-generation.html. I think that TensorFlow/Pytorch are also well maintained, although I've not checked recently.

I'm guessing

1) HN readers don't like Elon Musk (I don't like him either) so they don't like Twitter

2) I implied HN readers are doing something wrong (as any other human being, they don't like being told that)

3) I (slightly) insulted the intelligence of HN readers by saying they didn't know how to use Twitter and they really don't like that

I've just gotten downvotes and no one's responded with any actual rebuttals so I don't think what I've posted is wrong.
Thanks, my thoughts exactly.

They've made it embeddedable on Android, but not on the desktop where most of their users are.

They get most of their income from their deal with Google which gets most of its income from Chrome, so why should they jeopardize that by creating an alternative to Chrome?
