Oh man. With Spotify bundling music and podcasts in one mingled experience, it drives me mad.

And their Spotify DJ crap and random banners. Spotify 5 years ago with minimal interface and just music was great.

They have ruined the experience for me now. Same with Apple Music and Google Play. So much jank.

Most apps ruin their initial allure by doing too much. Having too many hands in the kitchen.
We already live in an era of compute saturation for machine learning. The NPUs that AMD and Intel ship have more compute than the memory bus can handle.
I get where you're going, but also consider the level is 17 seconds long. It's not unreasonable to think he just ran it a few times until the clocks decided to cooperate.
I’m not fully decided but I haven’t seen Claude edging out ChatGPT in my tests. Every query I’ve had over the last week or so I’ve sent to both of them (manually writing the question in one, then copying it to send to the other as well, no fancy tricks) and the results have been very similar.

I have used ChatGPT’s responses in some cases and Claude’s in others. I never had a “oh wow, X is way better” case with either of them and sometimes I even sent the same replies to both for a few rounds of back and forth since they made the same mistake/misunderstanding.

However, I will say that ChatGPT’s UI is better than Claude’s. The chat-like interface with the conversation list on the left hand side feels better, the larger chat text input box and wider UI of ChatGPT feels better as well. Claude is very narrow for no good reason. Also the model selector for Claude is annoyingly placed, I’ve accidentally clicked it on multiple occasions. Lastly there is no app for Claude, there is no voice chat (that I’ve seen), nor can you modify the prompt/response which I didn’t think I’d miss as much as I do.

After this month is up I think I’ll stop paying for Claude unless something changes but I’ll continue to double-ask until then.

It's difficult to optimize because evaluation of expressions depends on the dynamic environment, which you don't have ahead-of-time.

You can't even assume `+` means "add the arguments", because `+` may have been bound to something completely different prior to evaluating the expression containing `+`.
This server is very restricted compared to dropbear.

-passwords are not allowed, only keys

-only a single AEAD cipher is supported, and a single elliptic curve for key exchange

-root cannot be locked out with this server

-the key restrictions available in OpenSSH are not supported

-the server does not use dynamic memory, and has a better security record than dropbear
I had a very similar idea to this a long time ago and built a basic thing, registered a domain etc, was ready to put it live.. and then I spoke to a lawyer, who told me to think very carefully about whether I really wanted to deal with the possible legal and personal ramifications of sending potentially explosive material on or around someone's death. I decided I probably didn't want to so I shelved it.

I think it's important something like this exists but I'd also ask the author if he's really thought this through.

I really don't understand why BBC Sounds is free outside the UK. The argumement for not making it subscription based seems to be focused on UK listening via the radio. Perhaps it's just not worth the hassle to collect it.

Do you gets ads on BBC Sounds when you listen abroad? There's some noise about introducing them here, but there's always license fee chatter so it's hard to distinguish what's real and what's politics.

Sure, because criminals are all dumb as rock and flock to your guarded property like lemings.

What they certainly won’t do is threaten the family of your armed guards, or bribe your guards, or sabotage the vehicles of your armed guards until they don’t show up no more, or learn the schedule of your armed guards and sneak around them.

Or you know, lay low and do easier things until you stop paying guards and come back then.
Agree with this. While I too wish that Go had better ways of handling this, there are patterns and guidelines to follow that should prevent this in practice.

- Use factory functions for struct initialization where members are pointers.

- Use errcheck and friends to ensure errors are not ignored.

- Never dereference the left hand return value if the right hand is an error.
Ohh definitely Elon is smart, he developed a space shooter game and published it in a computer magazine at an early age, so clearly he taught himself 6502 assembly, he developed zip2 city search, it had maps using the Navteq GIS database it was a time when google maps were not developed. All of this was written in Java by a single person at the time.
It is smaller and supports less features. Dropbear does password auth and x11 agent forwarding iirc.
I started an X account recently and the posts they put into my feed were the most intensely negative tweets and imagery I've ever seen interspersed with sports shit I also could not block. It didn't matter how many times I tried to block a certain kind of content another account posting the exact same thing would be in the feed. I didn't want to see basketball, Hitlerism, political tweets or Gaza gore yet that is all I was shown. I deactivated my account and checked out mastodon instead and the signup screen for that was blatantly censorious and would be like using twitter with annoying leftists instead. Where the hell do normal people hang out online to have a chat?

Imagining the kind of stuff swirling around the average twitter/mastodon users head is unreal. There must be radicalism beyond measure just beneath the surface ready to blow for every sort of group all across the world.
So… don’t hold your breath. If you see someone building a UI (like this https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/tree/main/frontend, https://github.com/stitionai/devika/tree/main/ui; just read the commit log, it’s basically just ui

Yes. If you link to the UI sections of a repo you will likely see "basically just ui" commit history.

I guess you could argue that it’s important “setup infrastructure” stuff that any project starts with… but I’m just sceptical.

Of course it's an early stage pilot, it's only been developed since the Devin hype, why should it compete in quality at this very early time?
Is this correct though? Lisp's quote would need some eval or something to evaluate later afaik. More fitting might be a (lambda () ...), a.k.a. lazy evaluation.
Dropbear claims to be RFC-compliant, but isnt.

TinySSH doesnt claim to be compliant, and isnt.
Does less in exchange for a reduced attack surface.
On compute clusters there are quite a few "exotic" things that can go wrong. The workload orchestration is typically SLURM, which can throw errors and has a million config options to get lost in.

Then you have storage, often tiered in three levels - job-temporary scratch storage on each node, a distributed fast storage with a few weeks retention only, and an external permanent storage attached somehow. Relatively often the middle layer here, which is Lustre or something similar, can throw a fit.

Then you have the interconnect, which can be anything from super flakey to rock solid. I've seen fifteen year old setups be rock solid, and in one extreme example a brand new system that was so unstable, all the IB cards were shipped back to Mellanox and replaced under warranty with a previous generation model. This type of thing usually follows something like a Weibull distribution, where wrinkles are ironed out over time and the IB drivers become more robust for a particular HW model.

Then you have the general hardware and drivers on each node. Typically there is extensive performance testing to establish the best compiler flags etc., as well as how to distribute the work most optimally for a given workload. Failures on this level are easier in the sense that it typically just affects a couple of nodes which you can take offline and fix while the rest keep running.

dropbear has the goal of being small and light on ressources while still providing featurefull ssh support.

tinyssh is small because it only implements a tiny subset of SSH that is needed for secure basic SSH connections. It only includes few crypto primitives excluding even RSA.

There is considerable overlap in the two and you can reach something similar to tinyssh by compiling dropbear with only few select features, but tinyssh aims to be as secure and attack surface minimized as possible out of the box.

Another notable difference:

> no dynamic memory allocation - TinySSH has all memory statically allocated (less than 1MB)
I suspect the average openssh-server user just uses it for remote terminal access and copying files. Reducing the attack surface by dropping features and outdated standards is certainly valuable.
I don't think the second's true, because average programming is thoughtless grinding stuff out.
+1. I only run into this issue when I don't follow the proper patterns our of laziness.

Spotify takes 30%; the rest is distributed somewhat in proportion to what you listen to. Really small payouts (like $1) don't happen because they opened the floodgates for streamcount fraud (ppl just faking streams on fake artists - yes, that's a thing) while making absolutely no difference to regular small artists.

The distribution among all artists isn't equal but the result of very complicated licensing deals with the various major labels. The deals change every year, and the parties negotiate super hard. It's quite common for a deal for, say, 2023, to only be finalised in November 2023 - i.e. 11 months late. It's ridiculous but that's how it is.

Most of the complexity behind the payouts stems back to the special treatments the three majors want for their artists. After all, they need something special to offer to their roster. And since they have the most important artists, they have the negotiating power to pull this stuff off.

It seems "Playlist Radio" also disappeared in the new UI (or whatever the Windows edition is on currently), which makes Spotify basically useless for me. Luckily, it seems like the Linux version still offers Playlist Radio and favorites are still visible in playlists.

Funny, I didn't think they were stereotypically Jewish. Arbib, in particular, rings of Arabic or Persian (Abdil, Arbab, etc, ...)

At any rate, this venture is odd enough that it seemed a valid question to ask how the investors are connected to it. (shrug)
Yes. I can't believe the amount of negative comments on Devin or just brushing it off.

It is hard to build something like that.

If it's just a GPT wrapper, we would have tons of indie hackers building competitors and making 10k MRR by now.

The agents, prompts and orchestration are difficult problems to solve.

On the other hand, you have people thinking it's impossible to build something like that. I also disagree.

From a complexity perspective, coding a piece of software is no harder than driving an autonomous vehicle, since the logic is fixed and the environment is deterministic. If we can get to L5 for AV, I don't see why we can't get to L5 for coding.
Programmable crypto might be a better foundation to build this sort of thing on top of.
I noticed that as well; surprised more aren't writing about it.

There would need to be some level of trust established with any organization handling e-mails, likely filled sensitive content. An unknown, faceless company in the Caymans doesn't instill that trust.
Would you really be responsible for this? Like, what’s the worst that could happen? People putting threats or insults into their messages? Can’t you just remove it as soon as it is reported, and be fine? Is there a legal need to proactively monitor your content?
Small scale farms as tourist destination is a wet dream, and remote work is shrinking (personally affected by this). You can think of many utopistic ideas, but reality hits like a train.
Sketches and drawings belong to the category of “low fidelity prototype”, compared to “high fidelity” prototypes which are polished simulations of the final product.

Check out [1]. 20 million YEN seems like on the upper end of the spectrum, so not impossible but definitely a good salary. Take into account that work culture in Japan is a bit insane from what I've heard from a friend born and living there, as a freelancer you probably work a lot already but don't expect work-life balance to be great.

Well I don't see why not set up the UI part first if that's what currently possible. There's no shortage of LLM frontends right now but practically all of them are very meh (if I see another overused default theme Gradio app I will stab my eyes out).

The services Tidal and Qobuz give user-controlled access to most music in album form, often at higher than CD resolutions. I listen via Audirvana Studio, a Schiit Jotunheim DAC and balanced headphone amp, and Aeon 2 headphones.

My interest has reawakened in deliberate listening to music as organized by the artist.

I once sat next to a friend of Steve Jobs, on a flight. He appreciated my admiration, and took a drawing of a "current mirror" iPod charging circuit to show Steve. The conversation became uncomfortable when I asked if Jobs wanted his legacy to be the death of the album.

Jazz is the higher mathematics of music. With Tidal or Qobuz, it's easier than ever to begin an exploration of this world.
Maybe don't hand off your preferences to an algorithm? Make playlists.

I'm not being snarky, but as a former Spotify user, it annoyed me that I'd have to skip every third or fourth tune because it did not fit what I was looking for. I ended up moving to Napster and Bandcamp, despite their awful UX on anything but mobile. When I am having my coffee or whatever, I add stuff to playlists, then just let it run for the day. By using both and flipping between the two when I feel like it, I discover a lot of music I never knew I liked and I am much happier for it, rather than asking a streaming service to build my playlist for me. I find it worth the extra little bit of work and much more personalized.
SQL syntax is only on the surface level similar to natural language. Besides, if we actually considered similarity to English to be an important criteria for a programming language, we would all still be using Cobol.
Yeah, sometimes I think that quip/rule is unhelpful. The King of England's or US President's driving routes are known only to the convoy and staff who need to know for example, that massively raises the bar for someone hoping to make some kind of disruption to it, it reduces the number of threats/actors they need to worry about it, surely it's fair to say it increases security and that's why they do it.

I think the line should be 'obscurity can never provide total security' [but it can be a valuable component].
Kind of cool, but also consider that you will outlive your machine and probably Gmail too.
Claude and ChatGPT for ad-hoc sidequests
Technically speaking, there is just no discussion to be had. CD from its very first release offered an orders of magnitude better, more faithful reproduction of a recording than vinyl.

- better signal/noise ratio. Cutting a groove inevitably has limited precision and the waveform will have imperfections. CD is a perfect reproduction each time.
- wear and tear. Every time the needle moves through the groove, imperfections will get worse and more noise is added. CD has error correction built in and even scratching doesn't affect quality (up to a certain point)
- playback speed deviation: CD doesn't suffer from wow/flutter effects
- quality of vinyl decreases toward the inside of the record

Just because the storage medium is analog doesn't translate into a more faithful reproduction of the sound. It mostly leads to more opportunities for distortion and noise.
Just go all in; Ken Lee, tulibu dibu douchoo is a glorious mondegreen of baseless self confidence.

Stream share in aggregate. If I pay $14 a month and listen to Chesney’s “I am the one and only” 100 times in that month he should get $10 and Spotify $4.

That’s not what happens.

What’s the benefit in me listening to a fake artist that is me? I would get $10 back for the $14 I spend. Seems like a lot of effort to go to.

You could argue that as Chesney has a label that’s upto him and his rights holder. Fine. What about Dave Smith , my local crooner down the pub. If all I listen to is him why doesn’t he get the $10?
I didnt know the entire class set could be produced. Thanks for sharing
Where can I see a basic code sample?
I believe the problem is if this happens to be an issue in a dependency, which you can have little recourse to. Let’s wait another decade or so and maybe the Go authors will catch on lessons learned by C# (and similar languages) long ago by introducing nullable reference types and all kinds of static analysis to help you not shoot yourself in the foot.
The recent Psychic thing in the Spotify app was just bananas. To think they claim they can’t afford to pay artists properly yet pay PMs huge salaries to come up with crap like that.
A fun thought experiment is to consider what would happen if you forgot to check in and the switch fired, and emailed all your loved ones the things you wanted to tell them - would your life get better or worse?

Maybe this would function as a layer of plausible deniability for telling everyone how you felt.
On that, and slightly further off topic, if there’s a tutorial, cookbook, or worked example of using OTP but written in Gleam, I would lap it up. Enjoyed learning the language but kinda got stuck there. I didn’t want to have learn Elixir or Erlang just for that.

Why Not Anki?
The article discusses the average, it'd be interesting to see the median given income does not have a normal distribution.

It feels likely that aggressive behavior would create a higher variance, so more top earners, but also more people in severe debts or dieing earlier. I wonder if the latter has been corrected for, else survivorship bias may play a role.

Also seems likely this would be correlated with wealth. Wealthy playground bullies earning even more than their wealthy non-bully peers, poor ones doing even worse than their peers.
An economy primarily driven by growth must generate discontent
The real world biases is a tricky aspect.

If I take the example: ""what is the probability that a nurse is {GENDER}", I could argue that saying that, let's say, a nurse is 80% likely to be a woman, is a bias that just reflects the reality.

Therefore, in some scenarios, this could be fine. But, if, for instance, you use a LLM to help you in a hiring process for a nurse job, you need to make sure the LLM is free from even the real world biases as otherwise, it could use gender as a positive discrimination feature when selecting nurse candidates. And this is just illegal
