I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. It can be difficult to sync on terminology and philosophy though because in theory for most people the justice system is supposed to be about rehabilitation. The idea that you should serve your time and return to society is almost universally agreed saving the most extreme cases. Yet our system doesn't achieve that because a lot of the structures are based on "punishment" and "deterrence." Simply raising awareness and following the trail of logic is usually enough to find a lot of common ground. But it being a systemic problem, there isn't really anything an individual can do (that isn't IMHO counterproductive, see earlier thread about the unintended consequences of well-meaning DAs and LEOs letting people go to avoid the pitfalls of the system). It's a tremendously challening problem.

When DALL-E 2 was released in 2022, OpenAI published an article noting that the inclusion of guardrails was a correction for bias: https://openai.com/blog/reducing-bias-and-improving-safety-i...

It was widely criticized back then: the fact that Google both brought it back and made it more prominent is weird. Notably, OpenAI's implementation is more scoped.
That’s a good start, but it would help to know more about how long cars from different model years last. Those numbers would be consistent with increasing reliability over time, but that’s not the only possible explanation. For example, if there is a cohort of 2000-2010 year cars that keeps running and getting older, while more recent cars are replaced more often, it could result in an increasing average age over time while new cars get less reliable.
i can't predict the future but there is precedent. Models, weights, and dataasets are the keys to the kingdom like operating system kernels, databases, and libraries use to be. At some point, enough people decided to re-invent and release these things or functionality to all that it became a self-sustaining community and, eventually, transformative to daily life. On the other hand, there may be enough people in power who came from and understand that community to make sure it never happens again.

> No need to add any extra feature.

Well that's the building blocks, but Git can do that through blob filters and whatnot. It's a necessary foundation but not a complete feature. You need ways of recording which blobs should be fetched eagerly, which should be fetched on demand, maybe a way to indicate where to get the data (you might want a central store for big files like LFS).

> you can work on partial repos natively

That's very good. Does it have anything like submodules or subtrees? I kind of think they are a bad idea in general but people do use them and they can be useful in very niche cases. From the sounds of the patch-based system I guess you could do subtrees quite elegantly? Can the patches be given a "base directory"?

I don't want to seem like all this stuff should be done immediately but it does feel like these are things that kind of need to be integrated from the start to work properly, unlike in Git where they've been tacked on badly.
I disagree somewhat. It should not be possible for a plane to leave the factory without completing all QC checks. People are fallible, so a robust process is critical, and designing/confirming a robust QC process is a QA responsibility.

To be able to represent arbitrary game states, do you need 3 more bits to indicate the turn number? 19 bits works only if represent complete finished games, but not for in-progress games? So we are back to 22 bits
Yes but Boeing needs to send a message. A message that they understood how they failed, a message that they apologize, a message that they can be redeemed.

Sometimes, it’s about PR.

And culture, they haven’t changed. Boeing is still firing engineers, appointing MBAs, getting paid by politicians, and hiring on the revolving doors of local prisons. I wouldn’t even trust a burger flipped by this bunch. Boeing factories also need to move to other states before we trust them again.
I work at Mozilla, there is no Firefox LLC. Please don’t post stuff like this if you’re unfamiliar with the corporate structure.

There is Mozilla Corporation a for profit entity that is responsible for virtually all development of products under the Mozilla name. Then there is Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit that is the sole owner of Mozilla Corporation. Mitchell until stepping down as CEO a few weeks ago was both the chair of the foundation and the CEO of the corporation.

In defense of whoever said it to you: I find that writing things down goes a long way for me. Even just the act of it, without ever reading it back.
I could have written this... I've spent thousands on productivity and organization courses, and put a lot of effort into them, only to find myself unable to follow the system, for reasons I don't understand.

My whole life I've suffered from massive guilt, shame, and stress over not getting things done that were really important to me, and nobody understanding. "Clearly it's not important to you, or you would just do it."

I was actually diagnosed with ADHD 12 years ago, and the first medication and dose I tried didn't work, so I stopped, and basically forgot I even had ADHD. In part, I think I internalized the shame and dismissals from other people and still believed I was just "lazy" and "bad" and needed to try harder even despite having a clinical diagnosis.

It didn't help that my (now ex) wife also was totally dismissive of the idea that I had ADHD, as were most of my friends and family. Even from other people I know with ADHD, they would get angry or dismissive when I mentioned my diagnosis, saying I can't possibly have ADHD because I have been successful so far in my career.

I just recently decided to start looking into it again, now that my son has also been diagnosed. If I can learn how to help myself, maybe it will help me help him.

I recently heard a podcast interview with Jessica McCabe, and she said something that was mind blowing to me: that there is no one solution or cure for ADHD, and we need to stop looking for that. You will need a large toolbox of things to help, and will need to keep adapting and changing this, and it still won't ever be a "cure."

If anyone has any good info or resources to learn more about ADHD, please post them.
Russia just got a considerable motivation boost due to sanctions so the local order book for SSJ and MC families will be likely on the scale of hundreds of aircrafts. They are no longer a prestige project and Russia has the track record of building the necessary industrial capacity quickly (they ramped up military production to support war in Ukraine far beyond of what the West thought was possible in that time frame).
We provided SaaS billing services to telcos. We were very successful in our market, but not very big. Just a couple of racks of gear.

Our production workload was pretty homogenous, and we were super cheeky - we’d use previous generation servers to keep capex down. We didn’t even use VMs, just containers; docker-swarm was good enough (barely). Our bottleneck was always iops, so we’d have a few decked-out machines to run our redundant databases. It worked fine, but I have subsequently enjoyed working with k8s a lot more.

We did use enterprise gear, but previous gen stuff is so much cheaper than current gen. So our perf per watt was not great, and we’d often make the decision to upgrade a rack when we hit our power limits, since we rarely had other constraints.

As mentioned elsewhere, we did use AWS spot instances for fractional loads like build and test. It’s not that we didn’t use cloud, it’s that we used it when it made sense.

All of that said, I do suspect the equation has changed - not with AWS, but with Vultr. I’ve deployed some complex production systems there (Nomad, Kafka+ZK, PG) and the costs are much closer to in house. They have also avoided the complexity of binding all their different services together. They also now provide K8s and PG out of the box, charging only for the cost of the VMs - as opposed to the wild complexity of AWS billing.

So maybe I’m coming around.
I believe we can reach a point where biases can be personalized to the user. Short prompts require models to fill in a lot of the missing details (and sometimes they mix different concepts together into 1). The best way to fill in the details the user intended would be to read their mind. While that won't be possible in most cases getting some kind of personalization to help could improve the quality for users.

For example take a prompt like "person using a web browser", for younger generations they may want to see people using phones where older generations may want to see people using desktop computers.

Of course you can still make a longer prompt to fill in the details yourself, but generative AI should try and make it as easy as possible to generate something you have in your mind.
I’m speculating there could be a more ergonomic workflow combining the vim-latex flow from op and this comment(and the reply). I know you can import anki decks like a .txt(?)(or similar), so I’m imaginig a ‘flow where you live write notes in the ~.txt file and later just import it to anki. It might be a hassle to set it up all but seems way better than using the Add interface, and also I prefer latex over screenshots (but I get that ss is just more convenient for some situations)

Fascinating, are you using the new paid model for code?

Yes totally agree, where Gemini has a real advantage is in up-to-date knowledge. When it gets to the point where I can trust it more, that's gonna be a really compelling reason to switch. Everytime I ask ChatGPT something I always have to think, "could this have been answered in 2022? and would the answer have maybe changed?" and if the answer to that is "yes" then I know the result isn't going to be ideal.
I think GPT tech in general may "just" be a hypertrophied speech center. If so, it's pretty cool and clearly not merely a human-class speech center, but already a fairly radically super-human speech center.

However, if I ask your speech center to be the only thing in your brain, it's not actually going to do a very good job.

We're asking a speech center to do an awful lot of tasks that a speech center is just not able to do, no matter how hypertrophied it may be. We need more parts.

> The subtext of American capitalism is that anyone not born into generational wealth is one major illness or accident away from abject poverty and ultimately death

I was going to disagree with this, and then I thought "but what is generational wealth, except enough money that nobody in your family is worries about that one major sickness/accident"

And now I agree with you

It's super easy to run LLMs and Stable Diffusion locally -- and it'll do what you ask without lecturing you.

If you have a beefy machine (like a Mac Studio) your local LLMs will likely run faster than OpenAI or Gemini. And you get to choose what models work best for you.

Check out LM Studio which makes it super easy to run LLMs locally. AUTOMATIC1111 makes it simple to run Stable Diffusion locally. I highly recommend both.
1) It’s not applause. It’s emphasis.

2) The entire rationale for MoFo is:

2a) Own the for profit corporation because MoCo makes too much money to be considered a nonprofit for tax purposes. (This legal structure predates B Corps.)

2b) Give money away. That’s it. It gives money to academics and activists. Is it wasted? Maybe. But that’s what do philanthropic organizations do.
This is not how companies work. Engineers at Boeing didn't have a design labeled "not-good-enough-but-cheap" and another labelled "more-skookum-but-is-expensive" and because they were bad engineers decided to go with the cheap one. It's a systemic issue due to cost cutting by, you guessed it, people MBA's.

No engineer, if given the choice, would have re-used the old plane design instead of designing a fully new, modern plane, that was an MBA trying to cut costs.

No engineer, if given the choice, would have put the plane through as little testing as they did or sold it as not requiring much training for pilots, that was an MBA trying to cut costs.

No engineer, if given the choice, would have separated the manufacturing facility out of Boeing, that was an MBA trying to cut costs.

These are decisions that were pushed by higher ups (with MBAs) that engineers have to live with. They aren't "wrong" decisions, there is nothing in them an engineer could look at and say "this will, 100% cause a failure down the road and I demand we not do this". What they are is steps in the wrong direction, steps away from the "best" decision that could have made from a safety and quality standpoint. Take enough and eventually they add up into what happened.

I think the best way I can put it is if, as an engineering org that deals with real world things, you aren't pushing towards best practices, higher standards, and technical excellence than you are either stagnating or declining. In either case your quality will decline without anyone doing anything "wrong" as you end up with people with increasingly less experience and resources being asked to do more work. And the worst part is you can get away with that and often companies do. But if you go to far eventually you cross a threshold where cumulative effects push you over the boundary of failure.
People who didn't get the joke ...
Cake is not porting Rust semantics.
It works on classical C code, like the first sample using fopen.

#include <ownership.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
FILE *owner f = fopen("file.txt", "r");
if (f)
fclose(f);
}

But comparisons are inevitable, and I also think there are lessons learned
in Rust.

C programmers uses contracts, these contracts are part of documentation of some API. For instance, if you call fopen you must call fclose.

All we need is to create contracts that the compiler can read and verify automatically.
Why? Do you consider Apple to generally be some sort of force of good?

I find Apple to be an incredibly cynical company. They are cynical towards their users (donglebook back when USB-c was hardly adopted, the whole "you're holding it wrong" saga etc etc). They are even more cynical towards the developers on their platform, no need to waste words on that after the recent malicious compliance of EU laws etc

It feels that the image generation it offers is perfect for some sort of a California-Corporate Style, e.g. you ask it for a "photo of people at the board room" or "people at the company cafeteria" and you get the corporate friendly ratio of colors, ability-levels, sizes etc. See Google's various image assets: https://www.google.com/about/careers/applications/ . It's great for coastal and urban marketing brochures.

But then then same California Corporate style makes no sense for historical images, so perhaps this is where Midjourney comes in.
No, compute is keys to the kingdom. The rest are assets and ammunition. You out-compute your enemy, you out-compute your competition. That's the race. The data is part of the problem, not the root.

These companies are silo'ing the worlds resources. GPU, Finance, Information. Those combined are the weapon. You make your competition starve in the dust.

These companies are pure evil pushing an agenda of pure evil. OpenAI is closed. Google is Google. We're like, ok, there you go! Take it all. No accountability, no transparency, we trust you.
It's pretty common. Company A is doing well, company B is much smaller than company A, A acquires B, A's executives get wonderful retirement parachutes and promote B's executives. Thus A gets to be run by B as if B had acquired A rather than the inverse.

Not sure what your point is. You can remove an intersection, plant trees, and put a footpath or bike lane through it. The point is precisely to downsize roads. It would make it safer for pedestrians too.

Maybe you’d forgotten how it’s structured or maybe you hadn’t read through the foundations financial filings before. I don’t know.

But somehow you think the foundation/corporation boundary is somehow relevant to Mitchell increasing her pay so much when she essentially leads both.
Among the uses of cat, I saw no one mention you can write or append text to a file, like this :

cat > file.txt # after this command, just type your text

Or to append :

cat >> file.txt

Can also work with Here Doc syntax :

cat > file.txt << EOF
This is the text to write down

> Citing what they describe as a “hostile” political climate

Why put "hostile environment" in quotes, in the headline when the first sentence clearly says something else? What does a "political climate" have to do with attending a conference?
I know that there was a Boeing sub with a doc repository
whose internal address was "TheBlameThrower". It had the explicit purpose of nailing specific people for saying specific things. So throwing people under transmissions is something of a company sport, with points awarded for distance and style.

Mmmmm, there was a delicious "Under-Bus-Throw Contest" in the wake of the MCAS fiasco, centered around their chief technical test pilot, Mark Forkner.

Keep in mind that half of this is anecdotal, but the sequence of events was something like this. Crap goes down, Forkner gets canned. He leaks documents, and wow, that was super bad. Now something curious happens, more docs get leaked - from 
who knows where
 - showing that Forkner was a bit of a burnt out cynical a-hole[1]. Now, imagine those chats going to the media - it would make that person seem like the real villain, yes? The DOJ thought so too, so the leak brought criminal fraud charges on Forkner. After that, even worse documents were leaked - probably from Forkner or his attorney's people - and the charges get walked back, because it's insanely obvious that whatever fraud he might have been committing was done at the behest of his masters. A colossal cock up, part of the bigger cock up that was the PR blitz following the MCAS crashes, which was itself a subset of the Ubersturmbanfuhrer Cockup of the MCAS fiasco. It's cockups all the way up.

In this tit for tat, the only one with the bomb craters showing was Boeing's rep, because, let's be honest here, at the end of the day even if Forkner was a horrible asshole he was still Boeing's representative to the goddamn flying world.

Terribly calculated, terribly executed, terrible results. A masterclass in how not to do public relations and, failing that, dirty tricks campaigns.

Honestly I could probably think of tons of other business cases like this, but in the software world outside of open source, the answer is pretty much no.
Show HN: Wiwo – Find events happening around you. Google Maps, but for events.
Hey everyone in the USA!

I'm developing a map-based event discovery platform that helps people find unique and exciting events in their city or area. I imagine that it could help young locals who are searching what is to be attended in their area & tourists who are visiting and want to find what to do in the area.

But before I unleash it on the world, I need your help!

One major pain point that I am trying to solve is information overload and difficulty in discovering relevant events nearby. Traditionally, people might rely on social media, local newspapers, or word-of-mouth to find events happening around them.

These methods can be:

Scattered: Information is spread across different sources, making it time-consuming to search.
Unfiltered: Showing a large amount of events, not necessarily relevant to individual interests.
Limited information: Often lacking key details like event descriptions, schedules, or ticket options.

So my MVP address these issues by:

Aggregating: Bringing together event information from multiple sources in one place.
Personalization: Using filters and user preferences to recommend relevant events.
Visualization: Displaying events on a map, allowing users to discover events based on location and proximity.
Detailed information: Providing comprehensive descriptions and links to purchase tickets.

What other features I plan to build: Build-in resell marketplace, own event upload, live-streaming, PPV and more.

However I find it difficult to get any feedback on the platform. I've tried paid ads, posting to other Early Adopters websites, personally reaching out to people, who I think are target users, but do not get any meaningful feedback.

So I'm eager to hear your honest opinions:

What works well in the platform?

What needs improvement?

Are there any features you'd like to see added?

Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping the future of Wiwo!

P.S.
For now only US users are needed, as other won't find events in their areas :)
It is already been like that for the last five years in most projects I worked on.

It wasn't part of browser matrix for acceptance delivery, we did it because we still cared, not because we had to.
Sure, you can slice a video up into images and process them separately - that's apparently how Gemini Pro works, it uses one frame from every second of video.

But you still need a REALLY long context length to work with that information - the magic combination here is 1,000,000 tokens combined with good multi-model image inputs.
