If you ever see a car hit a light pole with a crosswalk sign, you can also ask the city if you can take it home; they have very similar stuff inside, including a double seven-digit display.

It's not really "programmable", though - the only thing you can set is the duration of the walk/stop cycle, and how long the warning countdown lasts, and iirc it's powered by some pretty high voltages. But nothing is stopping you from connecting to the LEDs directly, via some pins that you can use a ribbon cable to connect to.
I had to add to the instructions for it to search the knowledge files 2000 characters at a time, and to search for keywords and not exact phrases, which is really the only thing I could find online about developing one. It also needs to have the code interpreter enabled afaik and it seems to have issues with zip files as well but can extract and search them sometimes, though it seems to vary the technique and sometimes fail. I can confirm that it can search multiple files as I uploaded a mailing list archive and it would return results from multiple files in it.

I've moved to combining all my data into single files, but sometimes it also seems to have issues with them as well even if they are under the upload size limit, I assume that is due to how many characters are in them, and it will just brick the whole GPT until the offending file is removed.

The part I have issues with is having it actually use the data, it will quote/summarize data it found in the knowledge base and return where it found it if it can, but I can never make it do more than that. Ideally I want it to contextualize the data it finds in the knowledge files and prompt itself or factor it into a response, but anytime it accesses the knowledge base I get nothing more than a paraphrased response of what it found and why it may be applicable to my prompt.
What does being Jewish have to do with any of this and why was it brought up in the article?

Being Jewish isn’t some sort of shield that gives you special rights over anyone else.
Isn't it the reverse though? If a not notable person tweeted this stuff, it would have blown over and no one would have cared. But since he is notable it becomes a story

I think that was the point of the parents "public figures" comment
>The PageRank algorithm came out of the literature on ranking academic papers by citation

I never made this connection, but it makes so much sense.
This article is emblematic of everything wrong with "journalism" today. Regardless of what Garry wrote on Twitter (which I'm not defending), he didn't send the letters in question, which are the core of the incident. So some lunatic prints out a tweet and mails it to politicians at their home addresses, and the "journalist" spends a couple thousand words focusing on the tweet, and how the guy who wrote the tweet is rich.

Also, featuring the price of his liquor bottles (prominent in the first article about this by the same writer) is indicative of the level of pettiness involved. Maybe there's an actual story here, but this isn't it, and it's not clear that the story is more than "someone said something regrettable on Twitter".
I was happy to see the story caught that it was Tupac song lyrics, which I see also was picked up in the previous HN discussion. While it's not really laudable behavior, quoting some lyrics that in almost 30 years hindsight are pretty silly is not quite as threatening as people make out. Probably better to stay off social media when drinking all the same.
This exact story was already flagged by the community. The HN groupthink is way more powerful than the moderator.
Things can be seriously over valued without a crime being committed. Market euphoria, hucksters who don't exactly lie. Not always a crime but something to be aware of. Valuation is not liquidity.
jackdh, I like your suggestion, I will implement it :)

First day on the internet?
The explanation of the IBM Great Oaks is questionable. Most called that campus the Cottle road site. I would not be surprised if the assembly/electronics of the hard drive went to Mexico/China but the sputtering of the disks themselves was San Jose, Germany, Ireland and Singapore. I was doing sputtering for a few years out of college. We ran the last batch of the 14" disks. This was the time that the little 2 1/2" glass disks for laptops were becoming hot. The old Ulvac was being decommissioned and they did a final run of the disks as the only use at the time was for Navy submarines. After the final run, they made a plaque for head engineer for that disk program by putting a really thick layer of carbon so the disk was a beautiful dark purple. The production leads were PISSED. It took a full day to clean out the Ulvac of all the extra carbon before it could run production again. When they finally took the Ulvac out, they had stacks and stacks of the 14" disks out in the parking lot. I took a few home and gave one to a friend who added to his drum kit for a different sounding symbol.

The Ulvac was cool. It had big roughing pumps to get most the air out, then turbo pumps to get down to an almost pure vacuum then finally the cryopumps to do the rest. They were basically a large chamber with a sponge like material at the bottom that was cooled to 20 kelvin. The remaining gas molecules would eventually bounce in to the cryopumps and be less trapped but slowed down by the cold sponge...

When I was there building 50 was a ghost town. I would walk through during lunch and only occasionally would you see a room lit up and drives being assembled.
This post isn't going to get flagged (or at least not as quickly) because it mentions YC itself, and YC is kid-gloves about moderating posts about YC.

But this is a deeply stupid story with a lede that basically says "I'm unfamiliar with even the most most famous 90s hip-hop". Tan, like many, many, many Internet commenters before him, was quoting Tupac's Hit 'Em Up, which, unless you think Tupac was literally calling out hits on Chino XL, was not intended to be a true threat at the time, and certainly couldn't reasonably be taken as one today.

People come up with all sorts of cringey rationalizations for how this is anything more than someone on Twitter faceplanting a dad joke (sorry, but 2Pac is now dad music, I don't make the rules). That's because the rationalizations are more narratively interesting, which is a pretentious way of saying "fun", and fun beats reason every single time.

EFfective local politics? Definitely not. But then, if you oppose what Tan is about in SF, that's a good thing, not a bad thing.

This is an off-topic dupe story and by rights it shouldn't be on the front page, but, whatever.
Seems like whenever tech people get rich enough they become completely obsessed with politics.

Did you read TFA?

In the US, inciting violence requires actually inciting violence. What was said doesn't meet that threshold.
"Something, something, Jones Act" has become a bit of a punchline among a friend group with little in common other than they all realized they hated the Jones Act the same night.

I forget what set it off, but it was seemingly ridiculous: the vape shop or the burger stand blaming the Jones Act for something like being out of napkins or not having a flavor in stock. It's surprisingly far-reaching.

Kinda like finding out that the rules to prevent exporting missiles mean that some people get a different version of Microsoft Word. Who knew.
Tan's tweet was reprehensible, but I doubt it rises to the level of criminality. With respect to his inebriiation, as my elementary school teacher used to say, " While it explains, it does not excuse."

But I think a sincere mea culpa should end the incident.
The sentence immediately preceding your quote are things that a "rock-solid businessman" would never do according to Rind. So it sounds like he is saying that theoretical person has a higher code of ethics for whatever reason.
I also thought the article had interesting information, and the brisk "I'm just being honest about how things are in the world" tone was initially fun but was darkened by the hints of callous bias that bled through:

> Compassion gets burned out of the owner and burned out of the clerk in basically the same ways that it gets burned out of everyone else in the neighborhood.

This reflects a false belief that people who live in poor neighborhoods are less compassionate. In fact research suggests that people living in poverty tend to be more compassionate towards each other than rich people are toward the impoverished. It's comforting for wealthier people to hold this belief, because it makes us feel less bad about our own lack of compassion.

And the point of the below paragraph seems to be that it's difficult or unpleasant to think about systemic injustice, so let's avoid it?

> And, not to put too fine a point on it, it’s really hard to expressively, passionately hate this business and not hate the young lady working in it, the decisions and life challenges of its customers, and similar. And if you hate one particular building in a poor neighborhood, and then start rigorously thinking about the liquor store, or the police station, or the supermarket, or the church, or the public school, or the home in the poor neighborhood, I think your mind will start going to some pretty dark places.
Many CEOs are regular people who happen to be overtly charismatic to a fault. It just so happens that overtly charismatic people tend to be rewarded greatly by our social structures

These CEOs aren't doing anything different in these situations - they're being themselves and doing what they did to get their position. Other people generally don't call them out on their BS because it's an uphill battle fighting overtly charismatic people, and it's much easier to accept their flaws for the benefit of riding their coattails to the top

This is why they can't differentiate between upsides/downsides - people let them get away with things that other people can't, and to them it is all the same
It’s implied the letter sender is a Garry Tan supporter when it very well may be a prog supporter trying to extend a pointless news cycle. Remember this is the town where Die Techie Scum was graffitied on sidewalks by a city grantee featured in a local art museum. None of the involved parties seemed too concerned about that.
> favoring moderate causes and candidates and targeting progressives

for us non-americans, can someone please explain what general political aims the 'moderate' and 'progressive' parties represent? And where are they on the republican democrat spectrum?
> There are actually many such failures for higher-order combinations which is strictly not infinite

I suspect a service error, either the service/LLM not responding fast enough sometimes when a combination isn't already known, or the LLM not giving a usable result.

I mean, there aren't infinite emojis or words so it isn't gonna be infinite but I think some of the errors I've seen have been more transient.

I didn't link to it for any of those, just to show the problem existed.

> between making roadways slower and climate goals

No tradeoff there for two reasons.

1. cars use more fuel when they go faster, whereas idling cars can be optimized by turning the engine off.

2. making driving worse and more expensive is an important part of shifting travel to other modes like ebikes/mass transit. Although people don't like when you put it that way.

Surprised to see JSON here. I recall discussing JWT with tptacek a few years ago, and one of the concerns was the {a: x, a: y} ambiguity in JSON parsers. Was that a concern with this design?

My other reaction was that this sounds scary:

> a token with no caveats restricts nothing. It’s a god-mode token. Don’t honor it.

I guess it's technically "fail closed" but seems kind of brittle
How do your losses in an online ed startup be $1B when the revenue is $0.6B? WTF are you spending that much money on? Offshore retirement accounts for friends and family?

Edit: did some very superficial digging and it looks like they went on a very aggressive acquisition spree. Bought a bunch of other startups for hundreds of millions. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/indian-edtech-startup-...
It's their battlecry, not necessarily in tune with reality.

The non-wealthy regularly pay for books, music, movies, video games, etc. Hollywood is a $40B/year industry. All these industries follow a model of "make a work of art, then sell infinite copies"; this makes it possible to sell the copies at reasonable prices. These prices are appropriate, and the non-wealthy pay them.

The "high art" world, on the other hand, fetishizes the original physical work of art. If an expert painter spends weeks on a painting, then they must sell it for enough money to cover "weeks of an expert's income"; so of course only wealthy people will be able to afford it. How is this price more "appropriate" than the prices that non-wealthy people pay?

Federally, health insurers cannot use this data under GINA[0] and SB41[1] in California requires explicit permission be granted by the customer in order for the data to be shared with 3rd parties. In general, however, insurance companies are going to be reluctant to trust this information as it’s not established that it has real medical value outside the handful of markers we’ve clearly identified.

It's the new spin on "I want the President to be someone I can have a beer with."

Quoting 2Pac lyrics is just comical. Even more out of touch than Ben Horowitz (of Andreessen Horowitz) starting every chapter of his ultra-corporate startup book with Jay-Z lyrics.
I linked the 3.1 page just because it had some graphics that showed the UI features in action. The 4.x pages lacked that. If you wanted to actually start learning these for development purposes though, then yes use the 4.x pages!
I've been telling people this for awhile, the biggest issue I have with the available VR headsets is the limited FoV. It causes unneccesary neck strain having to move your head as much as you do to look at things.

Counterproductive, and makes Garry Tan look like a real asshole. Now people will have sympathy for the Supervisors whereas a thoughtful criticism could have put real problems with their leadership on display.
Can anyone explain how this works? I made this app that converts video to emojis (https://gifmoji.github.io/) and would love to know if I could somehow do a similar thing over ssh (so with emojis rather than ascii art)
I love the AY-3-8910, can't wait to see how this turns out.

I really don't understand why chip resellers re-mark chips like this. It's always obvious and it gives me the idea that they have something to hide. I've paid more for obviously used chips that I can tell are genuine than "new"/"refurbished" examples like the ones in this article.
Frankly I want to watch an animation of all the combinations as they are discovered/created over time from their backend. Seeing a growing 'tech tree' from the exploration and imaginations of users would be delightful.
Clearly this was reprehensible behavior by Tan, but this article is a mess. It's conflating unrelated white supremacist threats and Tan's comments, and doesn't really go into why Tan doesn't like Preston, leaving the reader to conclude "maybe it's something to do with racism? Or maybe because he's a socialist and it's discrimination?"

(Hint: Dean Preston is notorious for blocking new housing, while being nominally progressive)

This doesn't excuse Tan's comments in any way, but it seemed like the author just threw the kitchen sink into the article

But once Neuralink arrives, we're lost.
The argument relies on a couple of assumptions which are not obviously true (they're not obviously false either). That's where most of the criticism of it is aimed.
For the record, I _do_ think that the whole field of nutrition should be discounted.

In the popular imagination we to tend blame journalism for the "one minute x causes cancer, the next minute x cures cancer" style flip-flopping, and I don't doubt some blame is due. However, the underlying science is hopelessly confounded and generates spurious small effects that are probably artefacts of the data than real effects. If this wasn't the case, how do you explain the constant self-contradiction and almost complete equivocality on every issue on these matters.

What is the causal connection you are talking about? I hope not the saturated fat, clogs the arteries, etc, etc. Everyone believed that 50 years ago, no one will in another 100 years. But persuade me; show me the unequivocal science and I'll change my mind. My understanding is that the efforts to show this effect have not worked.
The article headline is inaccurate. It’s about the EU ruling and nothing specific to Vision Pro itself.
>There can never be "proof" that "return to office" is "pointless."

Setting aside a possible uninteresting conversation about the semantics of the word proof and discussions of the nature of falsifiable hypotheses that were last interesting when we were in junior high, zero average change in stock price or negative average change in stock price would be a strong signal that return to office is pointless. If the statistical significance of the result were strong enough, I would absolutely consider such a result "proof" that "return to office" is "pointless." This research may or may not clear that bar (it's hard to tell from the linked summary).
If the universe has existed for an infinite amount of time it means there has to be some process reversing entropy, events reversing entropy are about as magical as an event creating the universe from nothing so not easily believable either.

It smells like someone that hates Gary Tan who is sorta savvy want to reverse uno his arse by doing this, can tell by being so obvious by even going lengths to picture the tweet.

Yep. But conversely, the pay also tends to be lower, and there is a chance operations can get offshored (eg. Cummins or JPMC's internal systems)
I think it becomes more obvious later in the post that the Python code here is for illustrative purposes only. We don't use JSON. Our actual tokens are strictly typed. But also: it doesn't matter that much, because all of the predicates in a Macaroon are evaluated independently. There's no opportunity to confuse a previous caveat with a subsequent one. That's one of the strengths of having a rigidly coherent design like Macaroons, rather than just a bag of keys and values like JWTs do.

I can't imagine anyone false flagging a generic / anonymous "Garry Tan supporter" ... that doesn't make any sense at any level.

The tweet itself is the most apparent and damning action. The letter even seems to try to tamp down on the threat, if you were falsifying this whole thing / trying to make a supporter look bad you wouldn't do that.

I can't imagine anyone has a lot of interest in making some arbitrary concept of a "supporter" look bad when the tweet exists.
part of it is common sense: fly ssh console == ssh, and then you run env to print the environment variables in your current session (which may not be the exact set of envs your app sees).
Downvote be cause it is an unsubstantiated claim, speaks to a state of mind (which implies the ability to mind read, short of that ot is casting a stereotype/assumption), finally, the criticism is "what-about-ism"

From a Seattle perspective, the "seattle is dying narrative" has been going on for a decade, despite the city having thr most cranes on its skyline and being a boom city for that time. Which is to say, confirmation bias is a bitch.
>Harder communication with coworkers, less trust, more conflicts, some people find it hard to work at home and need to be in the office ( ie they do nothing at home ), harder onboarding for new joiners, people misunderstanding the rules ( no you can’t work from vacation site x in country y for tax/insurance reasons ), not feeling part of something and therefore losing interest, etc

I grant that some people might experience those things, but I reject that we should expect all, most, or even many people to experience these things. I know it can't possibly be all, because I personally experience none of them. Moreover, it's easy to see counterarguments or mitigation strategies for every one of these.

Remote comes with benefits. Naturally, it also comes with costs. The same is true for onsite and hybrid as well, of course. For me, the questions are:

- What is the cost benefit comparison for these models?

- Can the costs be mitigated?

In my view, the cost benefit ratio is far more advantageous for remote and the costs can all be mitigated.
Actually, it is database icons that look like the Oracle building.
I don't think Apple will back down in order to appease developers. Their strategy is pretty clear: make their platform so popular people pay to play by Apple's rules. Apple could charge 50% or 70% on their app store and developers would still line up. The bigger issue in the relationship is when they started building competing apps with the developers. Why would anyone want to help Apple build a platform that they will then use to undercut you? This is also after they already took a huge cut of your revenue.

sorry what?

you think given the context between Biggie and Tupac, where both artists were later violently murdered, Hit'em up, which was one of the rap beef songs of all time, did not include any genuine threats of violence?

I'm not saying that Garry Tan was threatening to, as in the original song, shoot up the supes with AKs, or shoot them in the back with the Mac, or cut their young ass up, leave them in pieces, or snatch their ugly ass off the streets, or get their caps peeled, but I think it would be very strange to rationalize that particular Tupac song as one that was not threatening murder
Is that required? If you're prominent and write something like this, you shouldn't be surprised when people who hate the same people will weaponize it with glee and use it to feel justified in their actions, even if they didn't follow you before.
