You can do this today with the VS Code extension. There’s a context menu for copilot to do things like “explain this code”. I asked it to make my current class more DRY and it refactored validation and parsing for a dozen or so arguments. It had one minor misunderstanding of my intent which I fixed by hand.
I think that should read "Most of your devices, assuming you only own Apple devices".
Is there a rash of theft amongst those? Law is as much about being pragmatic as anything else.
>All it's doing is noticing that makes no sense and saying so. How could it not recognize it?

you say that like it's the simplest thing in the world. it really amazes me how quickly people acclimate to this mind-blowing tech.

I just watched this Tiago Forte video [1] on the new Google tool called NotebookLM. In the video he basically aswers the "what" of your question. Lots one can do with a boatload of notes you've kept locally, and your own sources that aren't scraped by a LLM.

This is the actual point of AI right?

The point of AI, to tune and refine everything to be objectively better than humans in every possible respect, basically just to see what that looks like, and then potentially reap the economic benefits of this betterment ?

I saw someone on here being excited about when robots can beat humans at soccer, I know we can do this, and I know this will happen, and I guess that's the point, we just want to see what happens. But I personally don't really understand the appeal. People play soccer to win, sure, but they also play for fun.

Being funny is like this too, it's fun. Asking ChatGPT to write a joke for you doesn't seem fun.
> but I don't see the majority of webhooks used like this.

Can you give some examples of webhooks that are used solely for this "integration and extensibility" reason, because essentially all of my uses of webhooks have been to handle event notifications, but perhaps I'm just misunderstanding how you're making this distinction. For example, I work in fintech, and the main thing I use webhooks for is to get notified of a whole host of things that happen "in the real world" outside of my app (e.g. when a bank card is swiped, when an ACH is processed, when an account application is approved or denied, etc.)

> And even if they are, there's inevitably a bunch of cross-talk over the Internet to handle the event, make a follow-on request to the SaaS API, handle its response, rinse and repeat

I don't even understand why that would be considered a problem. So what, I make an API call to get some additional data so I can do something with it in my infrastructure? I mean, I'm going to need to write something to get the code to do what I want. There is literally 0 downside, from a business perspective, to "a bunch of cross-talk over the Internet" - why should I even worry about this?

I just generally feel that perhaps this article and what you are referring to have something very specific in mind when you talk about webhooks and what they're used for. I'd just argue that there is a much broader set of use cases out there for webhooks, so I think a better approach is to lay down how you think this kind of "plugin architecture" would be an improvement and highlight some examples where you think webhooks would be a bad fit.

It hurts actual attempts at solving real racism and discrimination, it gives people ammo to attack the entire left because political groups nowadays are represented by their worst sides. It seems patronizing to me, though I can’t really speak as I’m not in one of these minorities. But I do know it causes people to follow and become actual bigots, because radical indoctrination starts with reasonable-sounding claims, and calling this wrong is a more-than-reasonable-sounding, it’s 100% fact.

I simply am not going to have my entire life filmed by an form of technology, I don't care what the advantages are. There's a limit to the level of dystopian dependent uses of these technologies I'm going to put up with. I sincerely hope the majority of the human race feels the same way.
It's fine. We have laws against blowing people up.

Racism is fine as well. I won't date out of my race and if you think there should be a law that I must that's not really freedom. As for hiring or not based upon race there's already a law against that.

The cure is often worse than navigating uneasy waters. Every time you pass a law you give a gun to a bureaucrat.
In the same vein as "agents watching your screen" - what about "agents watching your posture"? Pages like [0] and [1] exist because people experience great benefits from becoming (even slightly) more aware of the way they are holding their bodies. Imagine this idea taken to the extreme, with a local agent intelligently reminding you to tighten your core, square your shoulders, relax your tongue, or warning of potential incoming RSI?

This highlights the need for open-source models and transparency in proprietary guardrails.

This doesn't seem all that impressive when you compare it to earlier work like 'g.pt' https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.12892 Peebles et al 2022. They cite it in passing, but do no comparison or discussion, and to my eyes, g.pt is a lot more interesting (for example, you can prompt it for a variety of network properties like low vs high score, whereas this just generates unconditionally) and more thoroughly evaluated. The autoencoder here doesn't seem like it adds much.
Been using atuin for a couple months now on Windows in bash. Its a very nice tool however I've been experiencing a huge lag sometimes after typing just one character.

But can OP please share their settings.yml? Vim plus plugins I've been using for over a decade are still faster for me than what I've been able to get setup in VS Code, it has been frustrating. Some of the promising plugins have failed to update hot-key setups, etc.

I'm not saying data isn't important or even that it's not the most important thing.

I'm making a statement of the current economics. Most of the cost of building a LLM comes from compute. The changes we make to the data while meaningful are dwarfed in cost by the compute required to train.

I think that despite previous claims of planning an IPO over the years, it appears more likely now, not due to optimal conditions but rather a potential lack of investor interest in further funding rounds (Series G), presenting an IPO as the only viable option to recover investments.

GlassDoor reviews depicting internal turmoil, an ongoing trial likely heading to appeal, and their US trademark facing possible cancellation are not painting the prettiest of pictures.

This combination of factors contributes to the peculiar timing of the IPO announcement and the lack of marketing around it.

The way the investor jumped on the board and announced the IPO feels like he was commandeering a sinking ship trying to save it.

I may be completely wrong - only a few people really know what is going on.
A few weeks ago, I couldn't get Bing to generate Abraham Lincoln by name. I had to describe him instead. Bing seems to really dislike having anyone's name in the prompt, or at least names it recognizes.
This would actually work well, but you'd have to be Steven Wright.
Here's a theory...

Although illegal now, San Francisco used to have a widespread practice of "key money"--a bribe you paid the landlord to choose you to rent the apartment that due to rent control or other factor was priced below market demand.

Because the landlord was capturing the extra value directly, a cultural practice of high broker fees never developed there, while it did in the east, where bribes were less common. Thus someone other than the landlord captured the excess value.

It's also entirely possible that the broker's fee is being illegally passed as "key money" to the landlord in a way that's harder to detect/litigate in NYC because it's not direct from the tenant.
That sounds a bit silly. Why can't funny be "faked?" Plenty of successful comedians practiced and had to learn to be funny. So there's clearly a method to it.
While I agree no one is rewriting history, it is potentially a big deal because it speaks to the biases present when training/RLHF-ing. Considering this will be used by millions (if not tens of millions), calling it a “silly toy” feels off.

Bias in the model can lead to bad outcomes in certain situations (hint: we have an election coming up)

Yes this is innocuous, but it does hint at the possibility of more damaging bias being a possibility.
> It’s too bad China is still hard to get to by plane (Russian airspace being closed really hurts).

Assuming you're flying from eastern US, taking the pacific route to bypass RU airspace instead of the polar route doesn't add that much distance to get to coastal China.

And Chinese airlines can still overfly RU.
Comedians practice and code review their art with each other. And in review, they critique and improve their performances. the performance is probably the last 10% that takes another 90% of the time to master. So I get why most folks wouldn't want to spend the time.
How does that line up? OpenAI said they had a bug in certain GPU configurations that caused the token numbers to be wrong which made normal output look like garbage. This post is guessing they set the frequency and presence penalties too high.
ChatGPT was able to be funny in a politically incorrect way at the beggining:

1. It's not his name. It's a similar name.

2. He doesn't get a monopoly on the first name "Ted" or the last name "Gioia" or even the name "Ted Gioia" since names for humans are not globally unique. If the book had a bio which was specific enough to only be him (like the Twitter account) that would be impersonation, the page doesn't say.

So basically what we have here is an "author"[0] who published a book under two fake names. Which is not a new thing.

> it's illegal to report on the war in Ukraine

Why do you say that? Many journalists, Ukrainian and from elsewhere, are in Ukraine reporting on the war. Many report from the front lines, with the cooperation of the Ukrainian military. The OP describes them going to the front lines.

> Russian journalists are less restricted on the topic than Western ones.

Many Russian journalists have been jailed, killed, or exiled for reporting.
Oh, I can agree with that for sure.

My objection is with the particulars of how the author is handling his students' first drafts, and I guess I enumerated my objections elsewhere. I agree that it's better than not doing drafts at all.
not hard at all. where is CPS? obviously someone isn't giving an 11 year-old appropriate supervision at all if they are driving, let alone stealing a car. there absolutely should be consequences for both the parents and the child in this situation. i'm not saying one mistake, send the kid to prison, take away parental rights. but it should be severe enough to matter, including several thousand dollars restitution.

As a user that recently moved from iTerm to Warp, I’m just now settling in (and loving it). I can see this being interesting when I’m on my iOS devices - then again if Warp made their terminal available as an SSH client like Prompt. I’d probably just go with warp because of the AI help which has just become so useful to me.

Well it also paid dividends the entire time too which doesn’t get factored into the price. So maybe it matched up with inflation. I don’t know either way. You’d have to compare the total return with the total inflation.
SimpleDB is over 15 years old. I guess it's the only service still using "normalized" pricing. Newer services like RDS tell you exactly which processor you're getting and how many cores.

ChatGPT prompt: Play the role of someone with ADHD who is easily distracted and loses interest in tasks. I will ask you to do a task, and then we will have a dialog....Can you please put the dishes into the dishwasher.

It's a pretty frustrating experience haha.

EDIT: God...it does it so unbelievably well. I can even ask it about its inner emotional state that led it to being distracted.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by appearance in the first sentence?

Also cognition. Is this the same as understanding or is thinking a better synonym?

Can you think of any examples from before say 2010 where there would be any reason for a human to wonder whether another party engaged in a coherent conversation has any reason to assume they were not engaged with another hunan?
I don't think this is one of those kinds of things, is it?

If I want to learn web fundamentals I SHOULD learn web fundamentals, not through an API that makes it seem like magic, because it's not transferable to other frameworks/platforms. This creates problems for new developers as well, who in this day and age learn frameworks instead of the underlying tech, and then bring that mindset to other domains.

I've had so many React devs being unable to work with say a Svelte or a vanilla HTML/TS applications because their web development skills are actually React skills.

For ex this line here

"When you learn how to handle requests and send responses in Remix, you're actually learning the Web Fetch API that's in the browser already."

I'd rather just use fetch so I know explicitly what I am doing.

Thank you for this, I certainly misunderstood it. But this just means my comment was correct: they're basically just highlighting that the downsides of webhooks are that the customer needs to run their own infrastructure, but here they are (essentially) arguing that it's better to build a plugin system on their platform.

And that may all make sense! But framing it as "Webhooks suck" is such a bizarre choice to me, primarily because they have an extremely limited view of what webhooks are used for in the first place.
Anyone can insert "jokes" into an email, and they will fall completely flat.

The human thing is to judge the other person, yourself, your relationship, the context of the email, and what you want to achieve with it.

Are you trying to disarm? Flirt? Entertain? Validate? Suck up? Impress? Make someone groan?

And if it backfires, ouch.

The hard part now isn't the joke part. It's the right type of joke in the right place at the right time. And AI doesn't know enough about each of your relationships or what exactly you're trying to achieve with each interaction...

> My key complaint, you'll note, is that you aren't providing any details of the full situation and those that you are providing are uncharitable takes.

You're replying to a post where I just provided more details! Regardless, everything everyone posts here is their opinion, and I'm entitled to mine. You don't have to take my word for it, you can be skeptical, you can think I'm an asshole and a blowhard... that's all fine, and is your prerogative.

> I mean, you're being nasty to the dude and your complaint seems to be he isn't a senior dev. Fair enough.

Seems like it's not "fair enough", since you seem to take such exception with my point of view. I don't think he's not a senior dev -- or rather, I think he's a fairly senior programmer, but isn't so senior in the sense of how he works with other developers. That's a skillset that unfortunately some people don't learn as quickly as they learn to code.

> Don't go with public shaming as a strategy; HN is a big forum forum, the dude isn't here and he's presumably working under his real name.

I don't have a "strategy" here; I'm merely responding to the topic in the thread at hand. If you don't find my point of view valuable, fine, downvote it (or flag it, if you think it's particularly egregious), and move on. If you think it's crass of me to air my opinion of someone else on HN, that's fine too, but I'm still permitted to share that opinion if I feel like it.

> If you want to be mean because he's done something go ahead. But unless you're going to say he's actually done something bad, I'm going to note you're being mean without a complaint and that is poor form.

I don't really see myself as being mean; you claim I haven't said what he's done, and yet you've just replied to a post where I've given more detail into what I believe he did wrong. If you're going to choose to ignore it, or decide it's not "enough" based on whatever rubric you've chosen, then I'm not really sure what to tell you.

> > And when someone disagreed with his approach, he'd get testy and push his point of view harder.

> I can't pass that by without noting some irony, given the comment it is in context of.

> Software devs are known for this.

Hah! Fair point. I think the difference here is that he was an outsider, poking into an established project, trying to push his views on others, when those views were not agreed with. And then continued to push them after being told they weren't agreed with.

that's exactly right. i was somewhat surprised that insurance was outright dropping people instead of simply increasing rates. and by the way, you can get a discount if you add x/y/z security alarm/immobilizer. the public outcry already has forced the issue with kia anyhow.
Show HN: Sapling is a business-ready TypeScript, Express.js, React boilerplate
Development of real applications can and should be simpler. Existing solutions focus on the problems that are the most fun to work and that give the appearance of creating a working app quickly but don't deal with the real issues that arise when building a business quality application. Worse, many of these problems have known solutions which are never applied.

Sapling propels you, the developer, forward by generously applying known solutions and innovative ideas, allowing you to tackle problems that should be simple with unprecedented facility and tackle hard problems rapidly and without distraction. It's a MERN boilerplate that lets you soar.
