I see all these articles about the cost of running all these AI tools. I find it odd they'd do it here, for every result. It seems very expensive, while having very little pay off.

If you read the article, it looks like he got punished pretty lightly - had to pay back some of the gains, got to keep others, and had no further repercussions.
I was thinking the same thing. Recently, a file I've never seen before named "bingchatinstaller.exe" has been trying to connect to the internet on my machine. I am blocking it.

It shows up as unsigned. Is this really from Microsoft? An unsigned binary shows up out of nowhere and wants internet access?

That screams malware to me.
If you try to build "Simple, Lovable, Complete" then you're likely taking too long to ship.

Success with MVP looks like this: "Frank in accounting says he hates it, and thinks it's ugly, but says he'll use it because it saves him ten minutes every day. And he wants to talk with you today about why it sucks so much right now."
Famous climate deniers wondering why a solution to climate change didn't become more popular?

That's almost as ironic as libertarians wondering why an energy source that requires massive levels of government intervention isn't as popular these days.

Wow, seems like this is one of those "if you point a finger at someone, three fingers are pointing back at you" situiations.

> “MVPs are too M and rarely V. Customers see that, and hate it. It might be great for the product team, but it’s bad for customers. And ultimately, what’s bad for customers is bad for the company.”

I think the author agrees with you in part— MVP’s are objectively better for product teams to get feedback faster.

I agree with you that the idea of an MVP can’t be dismissed in all scenarios. Get it “viable” enough that it feels complete. Get feedback and move from there.
> if the US is spending 8x as much it's a losing proposition for the US eventually is it not?

If you assume that the only effect of the war is spending and that the spending has no productive value (the second might be approximately true the first is... not, even approximately), then... sure, that seems true by definition.

If you drop the first assumption, then the other effects of the war (and more specifically, the delta between with the spending and without) is important to determining if the spending is a net win or a net loss.

> It just doesn't seem to have caught on as the standard exception handling idiom.

Not only that, but there is heaps of code which is correct in the presence of errors (after all, Go developers tend to obsess a lot about them), but leaks resources in the presence of panics. Those just fly under the radar of most Go programmers.

Good thing Go introduced defer. Because the panic-safe era (similar to the exception-safe era of C++) seems to be an era yet to come for the Go ecosystem.
That's one of the situations for std::launder(). (However, in most cases where the new object has exactly the same type, C++20 has made laundering unnecessary with its 'transparently replaceable' criterion.)

Yet the other situation is precisely this one [0] [1]. The byte array does provide storage for the T, but a pointer to the byte array is not a pointer to the T. You need to launder the pointer to get from the former to the latter. Such are the rules when you're bound as strictly to type-based aliasing as standard C++ is.

(Not that any real compiler is nearly as strict about byte arrays in practice: if they were, then many Unix networking APIs would be practically unusable. Indeed, people care about it so little that Linux is happily adding new syscalls that write data into variable-length buffers and expect the user to arbitrarily cast them back into structs.)

Semicolons seems an odd metric since complexity is often introduced by if-else branches, while loops, and function declarations. Each of those doesn't involve semicolons.
That is not strictly true and entirely depends upon the machines in question.
That article seems entirely centered around the dangerous around cuts and bacteria, with no indication it's bad for muscle or bone.

While some fundamentalists might go completely barefoot, I've always heard people talk about that book in terms of using light sole shoes instead of heavy shoes, not ditching protective footwear entirely. Even the subject of that book often wear thin moccasins during long distance runs.
Yes.

You don't even need containers. Write your program as one Go executable and drive it from fcgi. Go is fast enough that you can get a lot of work done on a minimal server. Fgci provides "orchestration" of multiple processes, plus crash and restart handling.

Also, there's much less attack surface. If your minimal Go program can only respond to specific requests, there's not the problem of an attacker targeting some unused feature of the site. Go has subscript checking, so you don't have buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
It depends.

Where I live, the city is legally bound to seize and then auction off houses for unpaid property tax.

There are even interesting things, such a legally mandated grace periods, and the original owner can buy back up to one year after auction.

And this sure sounds like a place where property taxes might default.

Current project I work on sees:

* everything running in docker containers, but you aren't supposed to run that locally, only local dev\test is through unit and component tests.

* all k8s is maintained by a separate group pulling in those images through a seemingly very over engineered solution

* when it is all combined in a deployment, things break, or more scary, they don't and you need to manually test and hope it's working.

Issues take too long to track down and resolve and the reasons are very obvious to everyone but technical leadership who are constantly high fiving each other over their amazing creation that is already collapsing under it's own weight.
> Whether this is fraud or not basically hinges on whether you were being intentionally dishonest, right?

No.

Do you mean legally? or morally?

Legally the offenses include things beyond what might strictly be "fraud" (see "fraud or deceit" as one example, but there are more [1]). IANAL, but failing to mention that your posts are with the hope of raising the price because you have a vested interest in that... seems like a material omission, if nothing else.

Morally (and I'd expect legally based on the text, but IANAL) what matters is what he expected to happen as a result of his posts on the message board. If he knew people would likely buy the stock in response to his posts, and he intended to take advantage of that influence to make money off those sales, that's the end of the story. Whether he sincerely believed the stock would actually rise regardless is beside the point.

> But now how do you distinguish between malice and stupidity?

I'll assume you mean good faith because stupidity isn't in the picture here. Someone who's genuinely predicting the stock market correctly isn't stupid.

Do you sincerely believe this person didn't expect his messages to raise the stock price, or that he didn't intend to take advantage of such a rise to make money off the stock sales? I sure don't.

It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It
From my female friend to your female friends:

Having a bidet is the ideal, but without it, wipes (I recommend ultra-sensitive non-scented baby wipes) carried in your purse combined with regular changing of a pad or insert (depending on flow rates) will mostly keep the job done anywhere you need to go. In unusually dire situations, I'll grab a paper towel and wet it in the sink, but that's rare.
The problem with devops replacing the old title “sysadmin” was that the dev part dragged in the worst thing about developer culture: the love of complexity and the tendency to build massive towers of it.

Sysadmins usually avoided complexity because their attitude toward it was more sensible: it’s expensive, fragile, and tends to actually multiply failure modes.

I also blame cloud marketing. This stuff is a gigantic money printer for cloud companies. It’s in their interest to encourage as much over engineering as possible, especially if it locks you into things like Kubernetes that are hard to run and thus usually used as services.
Taxing wealth will make people not seek it. Why try so hard if it can evaporate in a couple of years anyway? Of course illiquid assets are also a major problem with the idea. But the main problem is that taxing wealth for no particular reason disincentivizes production.
That for sure is not "idealistic devops", but someone missing fixing RBAC to let devs have access to logs of their workload.
I've seen that exact argument made and put into practice, though. i.e. the unironically promoted approach of "add a button for a feature you think users will want, and then show an error message when they click it after collecting metrics"

Some people have a really delusional definition of "viable"
Approx. 100 litres. for 100 sheets. How many you need would depend on your diet and technique. It was a genuine question, not a gotcha.
I'll take a look. I think there were a couple of features that required 17.0+, but I may be able to solve with an earlier version.
The problem with updates. For me at least. Is that I'm never sure if I really hate them because they're worse, or if I hate them because I've gotten used to how things are.

Windows XP was peak os for me, but I think it's better now overall, I just preferred/learned XP.

I’m working on doing a total replacement of an existing system that’s been in use for a decade.

Right now I’m focusing on the logic and internals and have no UI work done.

I’ll release a MVP without the UI because the users are very adapt at backend query and would much rather get off the current system than delay waiting for me to do a total front end.

That’s our MVP and I’ve total buyin from the business

Nothing wrong with MVP when everyone is aware of what that means.
Wow what a whirlwind that comment was.

Circling back to the main point, it seems like her recall has some manner of fractal association to it, by how she describes remembering things.

I think you have missed a key detail in the story. None of the video content is in any way criminal.

It’s an attempt to unmask someone the police are investigating for completely unrelated criminal activity (money laundering with cryptocurrencies). The video was apparently something completely innocuous about drone surveying.
Even if it was officially MS it would still be malware.

This is the core problem with MVP in many cases.... engineers end up having to put an engine, seats and doors on a skateboard rather than clean slate at every step.
The classic “big reveal” style of communication - hiding the important thing until half way through. Don’t bury the lede! It confuses and distracts the reader who is looking for how to frame and read everything else.

There's also the iVANKY’s FusionDock Max 1, which has quad displays attached via two separate usb-c ports. Expensive, but for those with serious pixel pushing needs this seems like perhaps the way to go. https://ivanky.com/products/ivanky-docking-station-fusiondoc...
Yeah, this happened to us too a couple of times. Once, we asked for a clarification and he took it as a sensible requirement, made the changes and took it to master in just over an evening.

The next day we just had to update our package to the latest version and marvel at his response time.
Found the answer. The OTCA metapixel is the invention from 2006 that allows Life pixels to be represented by nested Life structures.

So the answer is yes the whole structure depends on those border regions (which overlap neighbiring metapixel by one pixel.
After every Windows update I tend to open Everything search, look for certain "msedge.exe", "bing", "teams", "onedrive", and "outlook" files that may have creeped into my computer. I've learned which to delete, and which files I should leave alone. I use "EMCO UnLock IT" to get rid of the locked files.

Rarely I also hunt down garbage in the registry, and that also took experience to learn what to leave alone.
I don't know what system and user prompt you are testing with, but as one anecdote, Claude 3 Opus (and only Opus) consistently gives me better coding answers than GPT-4.

The Texas ruling doesn’t (as far as the coverage I’ve read) require that level of separation. Rather just selling to “the market” is enough to insulate you from fraud charges.
That last point about it feeling nicer mentally rings true for sure. I much prefer to walk over uneven terrain such as through a field rather than the super flat (former railway line) path to the side of it.

Every so often I do hit a wonky patch that I'm surprised didn't cause an injury or sprain but so far so good. That's mostly on me for combining the enjoyment of uneven terrain with an enjoyment of nighttime walks haha, but does happen during the day too now and then.

Good to hear it might be a little bit beneficial too! Yay for eccentric walking!

The cheap ($50 or so IIRC) bidet I have gets cold water from the toilet and hot water from the sink. No power hook-up. Has none of that other fancy stuff you mentioned.

Not exactly sure what you mean by "bidet seat" vs "handheld bidet" based on context, but mine goes under a regular seat (seat isn't replaced) with controls jutting out the side. I have also used what I'd call a handheld bidet during an extended water outage. It was a squeezy rubbery thing from Amazon, a bit like a cycling water bottle, and I'd fill it up with water from a jug or sink depending on where I was (was not "attached to the cold water line"), then it squirts out water from an angled plastic tip. I found I had to be a lot more efficient with that to get the job done on one fill, but it was certainly better than nothing.

Thinking on it more, maybe your handheld was like a pressure washer, totally separate from the toilet, and what I had in mind would be called "portable".
The cynic in me thinks this isn't necessarily good for consumers so much as it is just different criminals who get keys to your back door.

Maybe I'm just too negative?
Current Chinese CPUs have half the performance of current Intel/AMD ones.

That's pretty good, especially for office work.
I think people are confusing the sort of bidet you may see in a European hotel/home with a Japanese Toto washlet sort of thing--even though the bidet term is also sometimes used for the latter. (And, yes, for the latter in my experience you still use some TP.)
I agree we need more keen punishments, and am annoyed by market value being some coarse indicator for economic health. It's been more morally pleasing to me to see criminal companies and "currencies" collapse in the past few years than it has for me to have seen the general market go up, as long term health depends on excising fraud.

Show HN: Chatclient – Reduce customer support costs by 90%
Hi Everyone,
I am thrilled to share with you the latest project I've been working on – ChatClient.ai.

ChatClient.ai is the smartest customer support agent you ever need. It is designed to be used across any website. The fundamental idea is simple yet powerful: automatically generate a personalized chatbot for any website by training it on the site's existing content.

Here's how it works: users log in, input their website URL, and click a button to initiate the training process. As the magic unfolds, a chatbot is born and seamlessly trained on the entirety of the website's content. The result? A chatbot that possesses an in-depth understanding of the website, ready to answer any user queries related to that specific site.

To showcase the capabilities of ChatClient.ai, we've implemented a demo chatbot at the bottom right of the ChatClient.ai website. This chatbot is uniquely trained on the content of ChatClient.ai itself, demonstrating its prowess in answering questions related to its own domain.

I invite you all to explore ChatClient.ai, try out the demo, and share your valuable feedback. Whether you're a blogger, business owner, or tech enthusiast, ChatClient.ai aims to democratize the integration of AI-driven chatbots into websites of all kinds.

Feel free to ask any technical questions or provide suggestions – I'm here to engage in discussions and improve ChatClient.ai based on your input.
This game just looks so good today. I know lots of folks already knew that games don't have to look AAA to be excellent, and the success of Minecraft really drove that idea home to the masses, but this game really stands out to me. It almost looks better and better to me as the years march on.
> It's the worst, I don't even get to see my server logs because "that would mean giving you access to the entire thing". I'm not a k8s person but surely that has to be missing something.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to configure access to logs, not to the entire thing (whatever that means). He's probably lazy and does not want to bother.

Besides, you should have centralized logging using loki or something similar. Kubernetes logging is not enough for any reasonable use-case.
and why might that be? because your normal day to day person that pays their dues, goes to work, gets paid is a boring story. there's no news there. there's no there there. union member gets caught committing a crime while using their position in the union or with the protection of the union is news and plenty of people find that interesting. nobody cares about some start up, but tell the story of how the startup became a rocketship to the moon because their founder created a bro culture that rewarded shady practices of using the information they collect on their users to try to make those reporting on the shady practices look bad, then you have a much more interesting story. There's never been a biopic made about the founders of Lyft, like for Uber. Never was a biopic made about Tom and MySpace like there was about the Zuck.
GPT-4 cost like $100m so I don't think this is surprising?
No it's not insane. Unrealized gains are purely hypothetical and subject to manipulation. Imagine figuring out the value of an income-producing asset, such as a chicken, then taxing the eggs and the chicken itself. That's what people like you are essentially proposing.
What I was meaning was that ChatGPT is not a foundation model since it's been fine-tuned. Although the definition in the link is sufficiently broad you could choose to include it.

I can't tell from the OpenAI docs whether it's possible to access GPT-4 without the ChatGPT fine-tuning. If so, that'd make this result more meaningful. Otherwise, I just don't think you can draw any great conclusions from this.
Good question. No, that’s an area where I don’t get stubble. I assume that’s due to hair growth there being less dense.

(I’m not sure why I’m “downvoted” for discussing body grooming in a thread about body grooming.)
Exactly. Apparently OP didn't know Mew exists and has been fanfictioned in a million different sex acts (fanfucktion?).
>I am kind of appalled that the article and a lot of people in the comments seem to take the Bidet as an _alternative_ to toilet paper.

It's such a weird quirk of online discourse: any worthwhile alternative has to be a 100% drop-in replacement with no costs or trade-offs. The same thing happens in discussions of biking/transit/car balance.

You can use a bidet (or bidet attachment) with toilet paper. You'll feel much cleaner, get clean quicker, and use way less paper in the process vs. using paper only.
