I also thought that using current environment vars you have set/changed in the terminal is an extra benefit, but that's not listed, so it's not?
If that's the behavior desired, experienced Elixir devs would use the match operator since it's more conventional, requires fewer characters, and eliminates multiple unnecessary function calls. The thread was about monadic transformation operations similar to `and_then` on Result and Option in Rust or Promise#then in JavaScript.

Is it not weird that there is no Wikipedia page on this family? It's just too odd to fly under the radar for so long. Perhaps a documentary - something to pull this altogether. I've got $50US for a gofundme if someone is game (I'm very lazy, but also very curious, and apparently have a spare $50 - typical North American scum I suppose).
Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta are all building or using their in-house chips already and are working hard to replace Nvidia as much as they can, especially on the inferential side. OpenAI is basically doing similar things, nothing magic other than Altman wants to use his own chip design.

Further, on the hardware side, you have Nvidia, AMD, Intel that are competing fiercely.

OpenAI is already under attack from Meta and Google and who know how many LLM companies, while it's the first runner for now, that might change fast.

In the worst scenario, its LLM will become just one of a few in 2024, and its chip design will be a few years away if anything and might just turns out to be nothing, just look at Musk's Dojo AI chip, which started years ago and still he is buying Nvidia.

Keep acing at your LLM, and leverage Azure's platform for now, then also use some AWS to be safer. Forget about making your chip, it's too far away, and it's too crowded there and too late, you don't need to do everything to be successful, at least, no rush for that now.
Ok I guess the team with the largest LLM workload in the world and billions in funding won't understand how to optimise a chip for the exact workload they have and near future ones.

Competitors don't have access to the process node. You'll get competitors, but they won't be as fast or able to run the latest models. That means they'll compete with older versions of NVIDIA's chips.

We don't need to ban DRM, we just need to force content providers to choose between technical and legal means of copyright protection.

They should not be permitted to use both, because DRM amounts in practice to theft from the (eventual) public domain.

I am not sure. I pretty much stopped using aider, to switch to chatting with GPT-4 directly. I don’t yet have a great meta-framework for coding this way, but I think it’s more agentic than interactive.

If I had to describe my current process, it would be to 1) brainstorm approaches 2) create a toy implementation 3) integrate solution into project. Each of these steps is interactive. For brainstorming, I’ll usually have it create the simplest implementation, check it by eye only, and if it’s on the right track I will begin adding constraints to make it more realistic. If it isn’t, throw away the conversation and start from a new prompt (don’t bother trying to get it to recognize its mistakes if they are categorical) Finally, if I’m feeling lazy, I will ask it to integrate this snippet into the real project (typically this is the first point GOT sees my actual code, and it’s just doing the mechanical transformation between the snippets).

To automate the workflow that I’m talking about does require a more agentic approach than just a chat interface provides. I guess the answer is probably in the middle somewhere.
You may be allowed, but how would such a device get keys from DCP, and how do they avoid all of those keys being immediately blacklisted from being used for HDCP downgrades? HDCP 2.2 isn't the latest version either.
I think there was a Discovery snafu as well? Like if you bought titles from the Discovery Channel on PSN, you don’t have access to those anymore. But I do think Sony should get a pass here. Or you have to blanket ban all digital goods but that seems detrimental. I understand the feeling though, as I too don’t buy anything digital outside of Steam.

For context in WWII, industrial defense production reached 10% of GDP in the US.

World GDP is now $100T.

If the $5T is spent over 5 years, that's 1% of GDP — incredibly high, but within the realm of possibility if we become singularly focused on building out AI.

Car thefts have increased by a significant amount outside of their normal fluctuations, but they are still much much lower than they were before 2010. To call it a crisis is hyperbole. Canada's car thefts are the approximately the same rates as the US.

Flipper zero is a casualty of poor security practices, and the insurance companies need to be going after the car manufacturers for making it so easy. I would even say if it's so easy to bypass, then buttonless start should never have even been legal.

You can ban the flipper zero, but it does not seem that difficult to get them into the country nor does it seem difficult for criminals to make their own.

FWIW, my take back in 2010-2015 when I was at Moz wasn’t quite that cynical. I’m sure that was at least some of it, at least after Chrome started really gaining users, but Mozilla and Google had a good relationship for a long time before Chrome was popular.

Mozilla used to actually have their offices on Google campus (even though I started after the HQ had moved out, I was still given a Google badge for their cafeteria) and I believe the early Chrome team already had ex-Moz people on it. Goals around standards, etc, were relatively aligned, at least early on.

When Mozilla decided to go rapid release, Google was the one who walked them through how to do it (then Mozilla bungled it by diving into a very accelerated schedule and not considering how it affected add-ons, but that’s another story). It was all pretty friendly.

I’m also pretty sure Bing offered similar incentives for referrals, just without the flat-fee contract Moz had with Google, and they didn’t have the same antitrust issue in that particular space. Referrals and default search provider status have always been part of the financial model between browsers and search engines. Dealing that value back to themselves is one of the reasons search providers publish browsers.

I was pretty surprised when there was such a huge backlash against Apple for that recently since it had been SOP in the business for a long time.

To your point though, given the current market share of Firefox, $500M has to be about more than that if that’s an accurate number.

Ask HN: How has your experience been with preliminary video auditions?
It's an extremely scarce market, at least in Canada and maybe the U.S at the moment, and during the last year of looking for work I've seen an increased proliferation of companies demanding some sort of 5-10 min video recording. Have you done one, and has it paid off? Are you responsible for vetting/asking for this at your company?

There's also been at least one case of having applied directly to a company who's then given my email to a third-party automated technical testing company with no prior call or communication, who's then asked I give them access to my camera during the 1 hour automated screen for the purpose of taking period screenshots, not that I went through with it.
Apple never comments on beta versions. Whether it be a bug, a removed function or an introduced function.

As far as Apple is concerned a beta is a beta and all beta are off. Only once it gets a stable release will they start commenting.

Yeah, I agree with that, and was going to add an edit to that effect but I guess I forgot.

The way things are currently, the legal protections are stronger than the technical protections. I think it's much more realistic for legislation to be updated to allow copying for personal use, than it is for DRM to be banned outright.
I doubt we'll ever see numbers like this for water heaters even with the 30% tax credit until manufacturers catch up to seemingly the only company that figured out how to make them not suck https://www.intellihot.com. Like it's so simple it's infuriating they basically don't exist.

All it is is a regular air heat pump but instead of heating a tank of water it heats a tank of water/glycol mix which can store a lot more energy. The heat is then transferred to the water in your pipes via a heat exchanger. It's not technically infinite hot water like electric/gas tankless but it seems really hard to run out.

Azure started under Ballmer’s tenure as CEO, years before Nadella became CEO, and now is the second biggest cloud company in the world. I wish I could mostly miss something like that.

Not to say Nadella doesn’t deserve most of the credit but it speaks well of Ballmer that an internally promoted employee like Nadella who replaced him did so well.

Again I can nitpick but he grew revenue and did not fatally injure MSFT. He was mediocre but not terrible is all I’m saying.
Yes, whenever I see the word 'trillions' I instinctively know that it's some kind of scheme. Nothing and no industry on this planet requires a trillion dollars to build or will ever be worth a trillion dollars due to competition and the value that competition brings.

It's clearly a plot to put more control of world finances into the hands of the US. Nations should not expose themselves to such risks.

Fair enough. I certainly understand Taylor series. 40+ years ago I experimented with series approximations using the programmable HP calculators of the day to see how my functions compared to the builtins. I intended to say that I would struggle to write something worth using. Poor wording to say the least.

I had no idea FORTH could invoke libraries from C. I got the impression it would be used on systems where space is at a premium precluding the installation of other higher-level languages.
Sure, but the question is would OpenAI be around to see the investment bear fruit after such a spend? In the 90's infrastructure companies (you know, the 'rock solid' infra companies who were going to be around forever) spent billions to lay a lot of dark fiber that was to be the future of the Internet, went bankrupt during the dotcom bust and then Google and other Internet companies gobbled up said fiber at fire sale prices. Of course it was the future of the Internet... just not for them.

On second thought... go for it, Sam! I'm looking for some powerful AI hardware at great prices...
They don't get blacklisted because what they're doing is explicitly allowed, and very widespread. Yes, HDCP 2.3 is the latest version but HDCP 2.2 is all you need in practice. I can't talk from experience on 2.3, but I can on 2.2, so that's what I referenced.

If you don't believe me but also don't want to buy any hardware to test for yourself, search for "HDCP 2.2 splitter" on amazon and read the reviews (but beware of confused customers who aren't aware of the difference between HDCP 2.2 and 1.4).

Politicians know the electoral vote is what matters, so they adjust their campaign strategy to optimize for it.

> How can you use a Flipper Zero to steal a car?

A lot of vehicles - my wife’s 2015 Kia included - have a very flawed implementation of rolling key encryption. Basically, you need to capture three consecutive keys. The receiver is programmed to allow any future key (in case the fob was pressed away from the car), and will happily reset to past keys when you send three consecutive keys in sequence.

Ostensibly this is to avoid people’s fobs from becoming “unpaired” somehow if the car receives a future key. You just hit the button a few times and it works. In practice, it’s trivially easy to exploit.
That's nice, thank you for sharing.

I agree with OP, it's bad that its being used to try and take down phones on flights and also if it's being used to steal cars.

Well, I visited page, because IBM mentioned. Nothing new found.

It is known very long time, that IBM hardware is reliable and you must buy it to run their software (to be honest in this case I'm not sure what IBM software I could run on this hardware, but ok). And it is also known, IBM software and services are really good, but expensive, so cost of IBM hardware is not much important if you really need their services.

Thank you for read this.

All of the music used in that game is used so perfectly. The game opens to its title screen with an American flag being flown upside down, with Jimi Hendrix shredding out a scratchy, distorted, echo-y, far-off rendition of The Star Spangled Banner on his electric guitar.

Honestly, they should've licensed more music. Could've used Free Bird too.

02. Mogwai - R U Still in 2 It

07. Deep Purple - Hush

09. The Black Angels - Bad Vibrations

10. The Black Angels - The First Vietnamese War

14. Giuseppe Verdi - Dies irae

24. Mogwai - Glasgow Mega-Snake

25. Inner Circle - Bad Boys

26. Black Mountain - Stormy High

27. Martha And The Vandellas - Nowhere to Run

30. Björk - Storm

36. Jimi Hendrix - 1983 ... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)

37. Groove Addicts - Shellshock

38. Methodic Doubt Music - Half The Man

39. Alice In Chains - Rooster

This really is the Silicon Valley definition of “meditation”. Not what it’s meant to be.

True meditation seems to fit the definition of “niksen” perfectly. “Calming oneself down” is a side-effect of it, not the primary goal. As Alan Watts said (I paraphrase) - meditation has no purpose. You just do it because you’re grooving with the eternal now.
It doesn't turn up here, maybe I'm on the wrong website? https://winget.run/search?query=python%203.12. For that matter 7zip doesn't show up in that search either.

I was able to find the 7zip page by googling for it: https://winget.run/pkg/7zip/7zip

But as with Python the default suggestion is `winget install -e --id 7zip.7zip`. If I can just do `winget install 7zip`, why can't they show that command? Why is the complicated way the default and the simple, intuitive method optional and not easily discoverable?

There's lots of room for improvement.

The real bitch is you also need to replicate both the software and convince some large projects (eg, pytorch) to use and support your implementation, and it’s just all rough, very complicated, very fine-grained stuff. The hurdles here are very high.

And if you fuck that part up in any one of a dozen places, no one will use it, because the adoption cost is too high, or your implementation was 20% slower and so everything costs 20% more to use and no one uses it.

This is why you see things like TPUs never really damage NVIDIA, but why basically everyone is focused on open standards and open software. Basically the entire tech industry is using this approach as a way to slowly peel away the layers of this software until enough has been removed that NVIDIA can no longer use it as a moat.
Everytime I'm tempted to think software is easy compared to hardware, I just remember that AMD is leaving about a trillion dollars worth of market cap on the table, because they haven't figured out a good alternative to CUDA.
