Well for one thing a database of biometric records gives you an immutable way to impersonate those people on any other platform that relies on the same biometrics.

But that's kind of beside the point. I wouldn't be at all confident that you or I thinking about this problem for a few minutes are going to uncover every possible abuse vector that a motivated nefarious actor will in the future.

Collecting this kind of private data for no clear benefit looks sketchy as hell.

>> Hasn't it been shown that facts don't change people's mind, but (generally) makes them hold tighter to their view?

> Yeah, I think part of the reason that true facts may cause people to double down on their incorrect priors is because the presentation of the true facts is inadequate.

I think the reason is all about emotions and interpersonal dynamics. It has little to nothing to do about information or its presentation.

When someone tries to change someone's mind with "facts," I think they often come off as conceited and disdainful of the person they're trying to correct. There's often very little true empathy for the person or why they may think "incorrectly." It's like the high-and-mighty out-group person trying to put you in your place as an inferior who must follow. But would you actually follow someone like that or resist them?
Show HN: Filter and Monitor Hacker News Based on Your Interests
HN is one of my main sources of information for various topics, but I sometimes miss really interesting posts if I'm not regularly checking the front page. That's why I built an automated HN news monitoring service that delivers relvant news straight to my inbox or RSS feed.

It uses LLMs to extract, summarize, and classify the front page articles and analyzes the different perspectives in the comments.

Things to fix:

- adjustable timeframe

- update comment perspectives more often

I don't think that there is a way to do this without an unacceptable level of sacrifice in terms of privacy/security. I hope my opinion is very wrong, but so far I haven't seen any sign that it is.

Then we're at an impasse because that sort of black-and-white position is clearly untenable and leads to ridiculous policy decisions that are unhelpful to society.

Chocolate bars or cocoa in general are shown to have anti-oxidant properties. If I get something with lots of cocoa %, it likely has substantially less sugar than a Twinkie, notwithstanding the difference in hyper-palatability between a Twinkie and a chocolate bar.

Sugar is just sugar. It's not evil outright. It's certainly not bad for humans in any amount.

There are more racing leagues in the world besides F1. I personally enjoy SCCA, rally, and off road more than anything.

The barriers to these sports are becoming higher and higher, just like there are high barrier costs associated with karting/racing.
Steve hated industry standards.

The only time he ever said anything else was when every web site in the world ran on flash and iphone couldn't do flash.

Every iphone user was reminded daily about how kneecapped it is when they can't pull up the web site for the restaursnt to check hours or call up for a reservation. That kind of life experience was his entire focus and his showpiece product failed utterly at it.

And so he said flash is bad and html5 and pwa is the better way to do what flash does.

Since then they only say anything even slightly similar only as a defense against monopoly charges about native apps "what? you can use pwas" but only on Safari and castrated functionality.

If Steve could have sold a product that didn't even use the same tcp/ip and html as everyone else, he would have. The only time he allowed the tiniest shred of interoperability is when there is no way to sell the product without it.

Hello Austin,

I would like to inquire about the accessibility of the code and weights for the Gemma Model. Is this information publicly available?
Look, if you are already in business with Oracle then you have my condolences. But if you aren't in business with them then there is absolutely no world where you should ever under any circumstances consider getting into business with them.

Nothing their database does can't be done with a different database. Even paying for a proprietary database can be done with a different party than Oracle. Do not, I repeat, do not do business with Oracle under any circumstances.

If you are already an Oracle customer and you have the opportunity to drop them from your stack. Do not hesitate, Do not pause, Immediately take that opportunity. There is no downside only upside in not doing business with Oracle.
This does surface the fact that its another await/async red/green function language though.

If they're already making it gradually typed and not low-level, I don't understand why they don't throw away the C ABI-ness of it and make it more like Ruby with fibers/coroutines that don't need async/await.

I'd like parametric polymorphism and dynamic dispatch and more reflection as well if we're going to be making a non-low-level rust that doesn't have to be as fast as humanly possible.

(And honestly I'd probably like to keep it statically typed with those escape hatches given first-class citizen status instead of the bolted on hacks they often wind up being)

[Ed: also rather than go back to object oriented, I'd rather see really easy composition, delegation and dependency injection without boilerplate code and with strongly typed interfaces]
I'm curious about the editorial process that led to it being published and then pulled. In a traditional journalism outfit at least two editors would have worked on this story and approved it over days or weeks. Maybe that process is streamlined for the Internet era but I don't think of Road & Track being a clickbait publish anything outfit. Who approved the article, then pulled it without even leaving a comment?
> “As a result of the changes in systems, flights under different numbering systems could have the same number with one having a letter appended, e.g. flight STS-51 (a mission carried out by Discovery in 1993) was many years after STS-51-A (Discovery's second flight in 1984).[6] It wasn't until STS-127 in 2009 where the flight numbering system returned to a standard and consistent order.”

Ouch, shortly after they get standardized and consistent flight numbers, the shuttle program gets cancelled. I guess computer science doesn’t have a monopoly over the difficulty of naming things.

Let's say you're going through an Oracle audit.

Short of imagining some long ongoing legal action, is there really any incentive for Oracle to be truthful about anything?

It seems like this entire auditing system is just a wildcard as far as time / money sunk into the auditing process and Oracle can deploy it at will...
The problem as stated does not have a unique solution in general, as you’ve found. One Julia program for this is

`sort(split(p)[count.(r"[aeiou]", split(p)) .< 3]; by=r -> length(r))[end]`

which also returns "grasp".

But this one appeals to me more, because it doesn’t split twice:

`sort(filter(w -> count(r"[aeiou]", w) < 3, split(p)); by=r -> length(r))[end]`
I've learned the same lesson, and why things like ping checks aren't enough. Even just a WGET of the front page isn't enough. You need the monitor to login and replicate at least part of the user experience if you have a complex setup. It's very embarrassing when someone tells a user "shows it's up from my side." and they're relying on a naïve monitor.
Looks like a lot of great improvements, but wanted to put in one vote in favor of keeping the capability of having a JavaScript-forward configuration/usage approach, rather than requiring a CSS-forward approach.

For us, one big benefit of using Tailwind has been that we can avoid spending a lot of time thinking about CSS and CSS tooling, and being able to configure everything via JS has helped in that regard.
Maybe we should start to treat this like the yearly hardware releases? Buy one generation, skip the next, buy the next...

So if you're on the vue-wagon, skip svelte and wait until the next "The way God intended". If you're on svelte now, skip the next "The way God intended" and then after that, jump on the new wagon.

In my personal experience, most of them do so precisely to be affirmed, not to have their minds changed. Because what are upvotes, if not affirmation? Even better if you manage to convince the other person, but that's entirely optional.

RAG.

Large context windows can cause the LLMs to get confused or use part of the window. I think googles new 1M context window is promising for its recall but needs more testing to be certain.

Other llms have shown they reduce performance on larger contexts.

Additionally, the LLM might discard instructions and hallucinate.

Also, if you are concatenating user input, you are opening yourself up to prompt injection.

The larger the context, the larger the prompt injection can be.

There is also the cost. Why load up 1M tokens and pay for a massive request when you can load a fraction that is actually relevant?

So regardless if google’s 1M context is perfect and others can match it, I would steer away from just throwing it into the massive context.

To me, it’s easier to mentally think of this as SQL query performance. Is a full table scan better or worse than using an index? Even if you can do a full table scan in a reasonable amount of time, why bother? Just do things the right way…
additionally trees have fewer, often computably optimal parameters, whereas DNN often require extensive hyperparameter tuning and even neural architecture search(how many rows, what activations, what optimization method...). Furthermore, trees are generally more interpretable. There have been some recent interesting papers relating random forest trees to adaptive smoothers, that tries to understand why they beat dnns on tabular data.
Good chance most of the phones are virtualized as well to test across OS builds and that the actual deploy to real phones aren't tested nearly as well.

C did not say 0 was the sentinel address. Most implementations had it as 0, but it could be any address, and K&R (first edition - highly recommended) had a table of what NULL was on various platforms - most were 0, but not all. In C++98 0 was the sentinel address, resulting in the compiler having to guess if you really meant 0 or whatever NULL really was when you have 0 in the code if NULL wasn't 0. C++11 introduced nullptr which is implementation defined.
Yeah, and it's not just the drivers. It's that everything is about money first and foremost in the sport. That seems to be what happens with any sport once it grows big enough.

The drivers, incredibly skilled as they are, will also frequently do things like go on the radio during races and complain about their car to their team, i.e. the persons responsible for said car. Not offer any constructive input, just... complain. Often. On the other hand, that's one of the few times they actually show any emotions or say what they think, with all the media training and endless PR events and making sure the sponsor logo on their hat is clearly in view in interview after interview after interview... Yeah, I'm ranting. But it's all just so incredibly blatantly commercial. Again, like any sport once it grows big enough.

(Another commenter wrote about the interesting technical side of the sport: I agree that there would be so many more interesting stories to tell there: about car development, strategy, manufacturing... but whenever these things are touched upon, it's done in a very shallow way, to prevent people quitting their subscription in horror at having to digest some actual information. Instead we get things like PR events with drivers having to pretend they enjoy whatever ridiculous competition they're put in against their teammate as part of their contractual obligations. It seems there could be so much more there... but perhaps this way is more profitable.)

I'm running it on my optimus laptop now. There have been some funky bugs with mixed GPU systems but things are mostly working these days if you have a new enough kernel.
A lot of times you cat offload stuff to systemd. For example, a server might need privileged operations to open low port and set up logging. But with systemd, you use socket activation, so low port is opened for you, and logging is centralized, you just write to stdout. If this is not enough, you can have "ExecStartPre" command in unconfined mode. Great if you need to fix up permissions for example.

And if that does not work either, you can do privilege dropping twice. For example, systemd isolates filesystem, sets capabilities and NoNewPrivileges bit, but still runs daemon with root access. Daemon does whatever init it needs to do, and then drop the remaining privileges.

I wonder if this would be a good alternative to minimizing JavaScript and having separate sourcemaps?
I am not a front end developer, but I do maintain a few websites and I have used Tailwind for all of them.

My general take of the overall quality is that the maintainers of Tailwind have really good intuition in terms of what to prioritize, as well as excellent design taste. Tailwind is one of those tools where it only makes sense once you start to use it, but each version they've announced brings a continuously more polished product.

If you don't like Tailwind or you don't understand it or if anything I'm saying makes you mad, try first building something big with it. It's pretty maintainable, easy to read and write, and, most of all, is very portable. (I mean that in the sense that something you write in one place can be copy and pasted somewhere else and it will more than likely work exactly the same.)

As far as this version is concerned, it looks like not a whole lot has changed from a compatibility perspective, but I think when version 4 becomes official it might have more breaking changes. In any case, the prospect of a new engine is very cool, as faster builds are always welcome.

Congratulations to the team! I may not be a front end engineer, but with Tailwind I don't really have to be to make what I want.

Maybe the word he used wasn't "industry standards", I couldn't find the video now. The idea of the speech was that you can't do everything by yourself because you have just this much capacity and if you stretch yourself too much you end up with overall worse experience even if you do some things better. I think he was explaining why he is abandoning some internal Apple projects in favour of the established ones made by others.

I was heavily into full-stack SSR frameworks + jQuery, then Angular and React came along and I was like "oh heaven, is this were we headed?", ignored both of those for years and finally found peace in the sacred words of Evan You.
Oracle doesn’t provide LTS updates. Each Oracle OpenJDK version is only supported for six months and doesn’t receive any further updates afterwards.
I'm glad the US does not adopt EU policies. Else we might see the dearth of progress in consumer technology that the EU has experienced over the past 20 years.

Someone actually has to incentivize building things and getting shit done, and the EU is clearly not it, as the last two decades show.

(There is probably a middle ground between the US and the EU but I'd rather err on the side of not shutting down consumer technology progress nearly completely like the EU has. Regulations take years to undo when you go too far.)

One difference between the two projects is that pg_vectorize does not run the embedding or chat models on the same host as postgres, rather they are always separate. The extension makes http requests to those models, and provides background workers that help with that orchestration. Last I checked, PostgresML extension interoperates with a python runtime on same host as postgres.

PostgresML has a bunch of features for supervised machine learning and ML Ops...and pg_vectorize does not do any of that. e.g. you cannot train an XGboost model on pg_vectorize, but PostgresML does a great job with that. PGML is a great extension, there is some overlap but architecturally very different projects.

It sounds like it might have been an interesting article for someone outside the fandom - but that's not the kind of article Road and Track would write.

People would be absolutely boggled by how much money is involved in so many aspects of life, and what that entails.

If you make $100k a year, you might pick up a dollar you see on the ground but might ignore a penny - you won't really care about that dollar or spending it.

At Red Bull's $181 million, that dollar is about $1k or more. Just not even considered.
