Not joking, I think those are the current defacto strategies being employed.
Is there a modern open-source solution for bridging a traditional stateless web application to real-time notifications - one that's implemented all the best practices from the OP? Something like pusher.com but on self-hosted infrastructure/k8s, where messages from clients are turned into webhooks to an arbitrary server, and the server can HTTP POST to a public/private channel that clients can subscribe to if they know the channel secret.

I've come across https://github.com/soketi/soketi and https://centrifugal.dev/ but not sure if there are more battle-tested solutions.
Something similar happened with Dark Souls a while ago, someone found a client-to-client RCE in the P2P netcode and wasn't able to get the developers attention, so they launched a benign "attack" on some streamers which just played messages through text-to-speech on their machines. That resulted in enough noise that the developers had to address it.

It's honestly a miracle that these sorts of exploits in games haven't been used maliciously on any large scale.
So you making good pay by enabling a scammer makes it totally okay for the scammer to operate? By extension of that logic, hitmen should no longer be persecuted provided they make good pay from it.
Maybe substantive due process links the two cases in the most nebulous and abstract way, but fundamentally Roe v Wade is about a person's right to control their own body (e.g., nobody can force me to donate a kidney even if I'm a perfect match), whereas Dred Scott was about the exact opposite.

Edit: I also disagree that looking at where judicial philosophies lead is a bad idea. At the end of the day, the judicial system exists for two main purposes: 1) enforce contract law and 2) enforce the moral zeitgeist in the most fair way possible. If an inflexible judicial philosophy is unable to keep up with the morals of the times, we should consider revising the judicial philosophy. I believe this is considered fairly mainstream legal philosophy, and a big reason "originalism" is considered basically a sham by the legal profession.

It sounds like it could also be used to take down a video someone thinks is fake. Proving it may be easy in some cases, but in other's it may be quite difficult.
Yes, but that "livestock" can vote with their feet. If people cared about this, it would be a good opportunity for new entrants to take market share from incumbents by not using tracking cookies and thus not needing to have the cookie banners. But (to the parent comment's point) that isn't happening because this is not a compelling feature to offer, because people do not care about this, no matter how much we want them to.

I used to think this was just an education issue, that people just didn't understand the implications of privacy concerns on the web. But I no longer think this is the case. I think people do mostly understand, and just do not consider this a priority.
I 100% believe you, but I don't recall ever having this particular problem as a father (my kid was last in a diaper 2 years ago). The worst situation I recall coming across was the changing table mounted to the wall in the entrance space - which was frankly viewable from the outside of the restroom. I understand why they did it. This was at the Minnesota fairgrounds and there was literally no room in that bathroom any other place. I'm glad I never came across a men's room that wasn't accommodating.

If you're not there yet, the next terror is desperately searching for a bathroom for your kid. It's especially hard in city centers where every place has put code locks on their restrooms "for customers only"... It's fine, I'll buy something, but my kid needs a bathroom right now!

It shouldn't classify the example you explained as AI generated, but we are looking at expanding some functionality for similar use cases to that. W.r.t AI-upscaling, the current model isn't looking for it specifically, since many AI generated images may have been upscaled at some point without us necessarily being able to denote it as such when labeling the data.
Paper and plastic packaging are marvelously complex. The paper is light weight, but sturdy, often in the form of corrugated cardboard, which needs a good glue to function - already we have multiple ingenious engineering feats that need factory scale production. To print things we need inks and printing mechanisms which is a whole other branch of technology. And then we often add plastic coatings or wrappers to that, giving it some weatherproofing or additional solidity.

When you look at what's happened to fashion, what we've done lately - you know, since the 40's or so, when the tech really started to get going - is mostly to come up with fancy plastic bags to wear over ourselves. But those are building on millennia of textiles and weaving, even so.
This presumes the majority of your use case is server-client, but otherwise yes.
Well, one used maybe tens or hundreds of megawatt hours over the course of a year, while the other uses tens or hundreds of terawatt hours per year.

One was a launching platform for dozens of scientific and other large scale volunteer computing projects, and the other's value is entirely based in speculation.

Too(?) much of the same. I've seen enough of the word "masculine" as if it was an insult and conversely speaking of femininity like a virtue per se that I can't resist a double take when I see such a piece.

Show HN: Next-Gen AI Training: LLM-RLHF-Tuning with PPO and DPO
Introducing LLM-RLHF-Tuning, a cutting-edge project implementing Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) with an emphasis on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Deterministic Policy Optimization (DPO) algorithms. Designed to fine-tune and train the Alpaca, LLaMA, and LLaMA2 models more effectively, our project supports various configurations, including LoRA adapters for accelerated and deepspeed training. Ideal for AI researchers and developers seeking to push the boundaries of machine learning models.
How much AI is enough to warrant it though. Like is human motion-capture based content AI or human? How about automatic touchup makeup? At what point does touch-up become face swap?

From the report button on a youtube video: Misinformation - Content that is misleading or deceptive with serious risk of egregious harm.

That sounds like a quagmire of subjectivity to enforce. You can argue whether generated content was created to mislead or whether it would cause _egregious_ harm.

Now there's no more arguing. Is it generated or is it real - and is it marked if generated? I still fail to see the downside here.
Almost all professional mechanics are wearing coveralls. That's PPE.

I've certainly seen a lot that wear gloves. That's PPE.

Goggles or safety glasses are common but not ubiquitous in the shops I've seen. That's PPE.

Ignoring masks that seem responsive to COVID, I haven't seen a lot of masks or respirators outside of shops where they're doing paint work, but I also don't get to see all the shop space and masks are intrusive, so probably if mechanics wear them, it's only when they perceive an accute risk. You don't usually keep your welding mask on all day, unless there's a lot of welding.
Playing devil's advocate, between compilers and tests, is it really less predictable than some junior developer writing the code?

Am I the only one who is bothered by calling this phenomenon "hallucinating"?

It's marketing-speak and corporate buzzwords to cover for the fact that their LLMs often produced wrong information because they aren't capable of understanding your request, nuance, or the training data it used is wrong, or the model just plain sucks.

Would we tolerate such doublespeak it were anything else? "Well, you ordered a side of fries with your burger but because our wait staff made a mistake...sorry, hallucinated, they brought you a peanut butter sandwich that's growing mold instead."

It gets more concerning when the stakes are raised. When LLMs (inevitably) start getting used in more important contexts, like healthcare. "I know your file says you're allergic to penicillin and you repeated when talking to our ai-doctor but it hallucinated that you weren't."
Also, I thrived and had to deal with way less low level racism. I've heard also less sexism from women who work remote. Being a voice is a better experience for me and levels the playing field.

You missed the analogy, so I'll spell it out: before we had cars[1], we couldn't go fast on roads, and there were no speed limit signs. Before we had AI, we couldn't deceive people with easy fakes, and so there was no need to regulate it. Now we do, and there is, and YouTube did.

Trying to characterize this as not related to AI just isn't adding to the discussion. Clearly it is a response to the emergence of AI fakes.

We could do a lot of things to save the earth. Action is much harder than hand waiving though. How do "we" go back to glass? Who is we? Who makes this order? How is it enforced? We can say OK we need to shut down all the gas plants and convert to nuclear starting this Wednesday, but that doesn't mean anything because good ideas don't just happen in this world. Business cases happen, and if the idea is a good one its a happy accident. We need to develop a framework where it is more profitable to turn to green choices than alternatives before we can expect the world to wake up and change overnight. And setting up such a system is impossible when indirect action and chaos theory has created the system we currently have today, one too big for anyone to fully understand or shift with a few lever pulls to no other consequence.

I'm not sure if it's sad or not, but reading your comment made me realize I learned the same lesson by ordering from AliExpress.
The theory is that the companies would do it for the +14% growth from users with disabilities, the reality is that they'll spend the effort on other things instead, and that disabled users would suffer through it because they needed to use the website.
Notably, none of this matters if you aren't an entitled jerk and make accessibility features an option!!

There's been a new trend in modern videogames to show you a screen with a few accessibility options before the game even finishes starting. I am not disabled, and yet often feel like I benefit from some options or others.

Stop pretending you know better than your customers/users/visitors. Let them make the choices that make your product best for their usages. Stop treating users like children and we stop having these kinds of problems.
> I’d like to see rustc get sccache integration that works at the MIR level too so that changing something that doesn’t change the code gen meaningfully still gets a cached response (e.g. changing some comments/whitespace, moving functions around, etc).

That's a fair point - I was thinking of how many times I've been able to crawl under my desk to get a thing I dropped, or plugged in a cable. But I hadn't thought of it in terms of being limited to crawling.

DuckDB targets analytical workloads. Your question sounds like your workload is transactional to me, so I'd recommend sticking with SQLite.
This is a different use case - DuckDB is large queries over your entire dataset; Arroyo is continuous queries executing over a live data stream.

So if you have a stream of sensor data from a bunch of IoT devices, you might use Arroyo to run “live” queries over the flowing data, and you might use DuckDB to do analytical queries over archive data

Although they are both hammers to whack nails with I guess, so a lot of use cases likely work well to solve with both systems

> Ok so you couldn’t list a better laptop

I did. You just didn't want to listen.

> Speakers bad in a MacBook? Come on man at least try to be objective.

Mac users that list the laptop speakers as good are really digging in. It is marginally better than regular shitty laptop speakers, but it is still very shitty. Any cheap proper speakers are much better, to the point that listing it as a positive is misleading.

And I can use my boring Dell with my windows open on a sunny day without issues. MacBook requires me to close the blinds.
Still waiting on this one. Anyone find someone on twitter who can run it?
> That PFAS are very unreactive is meaningless. They still occupy volume and therefore affect kinematic rates and occupy reaction sites.

They're surfactants so they can interfere with basic processes in the intracellular matrix like cells sticking to each other and forming tissue. The long term epidemiological effects and in vitro studies are just getting started understanding the effects.
Silo is really good, too.
Who reviews and tests the code?

And how do they build the knowledge and skill needed to review and test without being practiced?
Samsung devices, for example, will add detail to what it thinks is the Moon.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/13/23637401/samsung-fake-moo...

> The test of Samsung’s phones conducted by Reddit user u/ibreakphotos was ingenious in its simplicity. They created an intentionally blurry photo of the Moon, displayed it on a computer screen, and then photographed this image using a Samsung S23 Ultra. As you can see below, the first image on the screen showed no detail at all, but the resulting picture showed a crisp and clear “photograph” of the Moon. The S23 Ultra added details that simply weren’t present before. There was no upscaling of blurry pixels and no retrieval of seemingly lost data. There was just a new Moon — a fake one.

> They didn't do this before the regulation

Yes, because they just tracked you and you didn't have a choice and didn't even know that they were tracking you probably.

You don't seem to understand what GDPR does. Very simply, it says: "Hey, if you run a website and want to store cookies in your visitors browsers that helps you track them, you need to ask them first if that's ok".

There are multiple paths websites could take:

1) Don't set tracking cookies -> No need to ask the visitor for consent

2) Honor "do not track" headers sent by browsers -> Only need to ask visitor for consent if the browser didn't set "do not track" header

3) Ask the visitors, but do it in a nice way that doesn't disrupt the whole browsing experience -> some examples are given in the blog post

There are a lot of browser extension that hide or click reject cookies for you, so you don't need to see 99% of all cookie banners. Have you tried using some of them?

We can play whack a mole getting every source of particulate out of the garage (can we even do that? consider sanding, grinding, painting, etc, not just the brakes are making this), or we can use our existing workplace safety enforcement mechanisms to enforce ppe in this industry like they've enforced ppe in many other industries.
People clearly prefer slow silent mass death (and messing up world for good for grandchildren) over few-per-century bigger accidents (when literally everybody in the world takes notes and massively improves).

Similar to car massive amount of death (not even going into secondary and tertiary effects) and nobody bats an eye, even if they know personally somebody who died like that. Yet every single plane crash and tons of folks are getting panic attacks.

Human psychology fascinates me, but at the same time makes me outright sad. So much potential often wasted on utter stupidities, and even worse - its trivial for skilled people to manipulate masses into literally shooting off their own feet with 12 gauge shotgun buckshot, just play the fear tune well enough for long enough.

You're assuming that AI-based code is even that minimally good.

Here's a nice litmus test: Can your AI take your code and make it comply with accessibility guidelines?

That's a task that has relatively straightforward subtasks (make sure that labels are consistent on your widgets) yet is still painful (going through all of them to make sure they are correct is a nightmare). A great job to throw at an AI.

And, yet, throwing any of the current "AI" bots at that task would simply be laughable.
> sliding into irrelevance on the global stage

There’s the rest of the world out there, where these guys are nowhere near irrelevant.
Perhaps because they’re approaching the matter with flippant dismissals that it’s “made up” and invoking the Cold War with shallow accusations that it’s anti communist propaganda — rather than anything that resembles discourse on why we ought believe this to be the case.

(Postscript) In contrast, the one which raises the possibility of hypochondria and burnout is still at the top in my browser; it seems adequately skeptical, but doesn’t appear to be radically downvoted like the others, presumably because there’s more content to it.
Yep you can, but there's still an astronomical amount of crap you have to do that has nothing to do with pure compute. OpenCL has none of these problems, and is IMO just the perfect compute API.

Holy cow, I never realized that Professor Glass Klein Bottles wrote hacking books 40 years ago. Noice, I should check that one out then.
Yet, we still have programmers writing assembly code and hand-optimizing it. I believe that for most software engineers, this will be the future. However, experts and hobbyists will still experiment with different ways of doing things, just like people experiment with different ways of creating chairs.

An AI can only do what it is taught to do. Sure, it can offer unique insights from time to time, but I doubt it will get to the point where it can craft entirely new paradigms and ways of building software.
How is this an argument to them not needing to wear PPE? Asbestos isn't the only particulate risk they face. PPE on the other hand would solve the others. You can say you don't see mechanics wearing PPE but thats because its not presently regulated. How many kitchens today lack a handwashing sink? Zero, if they have passed a health inspection.

It is really hard making something complex seem simple.

A lot of what we take for granted has had plenty thought put into their design.

The book the Design of Everyday Things goes into this in more detail.
Long polling is more amenable than SSE for most HTTP tools out of the box, eg curl. The SSE message body is notably different from plain HTTP responses.

To the OP, you can still build APIs with long polling. They are uncommon because push patterns are difficult to design well, regardless of protocol (whether long-polling, SSE, websockets, etc).

Whiteboarding a push API is a good exercise. There is a lot of nuance that gets overlooked in discussions whenever these patterns come up.
