Sure, it is public, but the price is going down, not up, as the IPO was just the exit strategy for all the investors who funded a site that never made a profit. And the overall vibe of the contents is bots and memes, not substantial content. There are exceptions to that, but that is exactly what they are - exceptions.

I'm not saying it'll be dead next week or anything... on the contrary, it probably will find a groove to survive in. But "substantial brain drain" sounds like a perfect description of what it really is.
What do you mean by that? I don’t understand.

Exactly, that's what happened with the second industrial revolution: in Europe and USA, it take form as the bloom of tertiary work being the first employer. But we are facing the limits (or consequences as we prefer to call it) of such growth: limits in energy, materials, environment. We'll face the same limits for AI.
I believe that with technologies like IRMA/Yivi (https://irma.app/docs/what-is-irma/) this could be done securely and privately, though I wish the app wasn't so centralised in its token exchange. For this use case (with the government playing a role in the authentication already), that wouldn't be an issue, though.

Permitted services could request minimal data tokens, verified by one or more instances of choice, and the user would see the data being exchanged and with what party the data is being exchanged exactly.

In my opinion, this beats a lot of current implementations, which redirect to either a plain government login or bank login, where the backend does all the data exchange.

I have to admit that I haven't done anything with this tech myself because I can't be bothered filing a request for access for such a system. Still, I can see the potential here.

Nostalgia files: steal this 8-bit look
Er, vaping is 100% NOT smoking.

There is no fire/combustion involved when vaping. Vaping is when a liquid is heated up enough to turn it into a vapour. The same process as heating water enough turns it into steam. That's it. The liquid will have flavourings and nicotine added to it, meaning the vapour produced will deliver said flavourings and nicotine to the person inhaling it. The exhalation will contain remnants of that vapour along with just water vapour - most of the flavourings and nicotine will be absorbed by the person who inhaled it.

I always get puzzled as to why people say they are /disgusted/ by vaping, or why they equate combustion based smoking with the non-combustion based conversion of a liquid into a vapour. Help me understand you. What part disgusts you about vaping? That you can see a cloud of water vapour being exhaled? Have you ever been out somewhere where a fog machine is being used? Congratulations, because the liquid used for the fog machines is mostly the same as used in vapes and also asthma inhalers.

You might as well get "disgusted" by the fact that if you are in a room with another person, you'll inevitably be inhaling part of that other person's exhalation! I guess that's okay though, because their exhalation products aren't visible to you?

Not really, and it shows that LLMs just like prior attempts at generalized AI are gonna hit a wall, they're trying to brute force the issue which in my opinion won't work.
For me personally, it's death by a thousand cuts. It works fine, when it works, but the number of small annoyances & quirks is very high. I personally don't hate Teams, but I wouldn't call it a joy to use or anything.
Slack is ok. Its latest redesign added bugs and made the interface quite annoying. It could be much better with a few trivial tweaks, but it's not terrible either.

Also, I don't know if teams handles it any better, but slack has absolutely no offline capabilities / cache on the desktop. And electron sucks for electron reasons.
Why do you mention capitalism and not economy in general ? Any resource allocation exercise is "complex" and "hard". Probably there is a better way but I expect any progress to be slow. The open source movement started in the 80's and it took a long time to become (a bit more) mainstream.
I just don't see it.

Show HN: Use simple text queries to analyze Excel data
Hello HN!
I developed an app for data analysis in chatGPT manner. Upload your table data file and ask a question in plain english. (As a result, you get readable explanation of quantative values and plots.)

This idea came to me a few month ago when my girlfriend was preparing for business analyst role. Even though she is good in understanding business processes, marketing and similar things, she was refused several times for the lack of coding skills. (They required her either python or SQL to collect data and analyze it). This upset her, then me and I started to work!

This app is created for all sorts of business-related roles, which need to make data-driven desicions. It requires no special training and is as simple to use as chatGPT.

The app engine is built on a bunch of API agents which concurrently handle prompts to generate Python code. The difference from direct prompting is that this app can generate relatively long pieces of code, execute them, and also fix errors if they occur. I don't use third-party LLM libraries, such as langchain, for their complexity and low readability.

Currently, the app supports on CSV format, with plans to operte with databases and other format such as PDF. Also, it may break sometimes, mainly due to parsing error. It is not a commercial version, I give 3 free requests to assess the validity of the idea.

What are your thoughts? Feel free to ask questions!

I would more just say autogenerated artifacts should just be autogenerated by the build. Committing them doesn't really solve the problem. This is pretty much just a historical hangover in autotools where it targeted building on platforms where autotools wasn't installed, but it's not really a particularly relevant use-case anymore. (I do agree in general that autotools is bad. Especially on projects where a simple makefile is almost always sufficient and much more debuggable if autotools fails).

I don't think libsystemd is a particular problem. Or at least it being linked in only made the job of writing the exploit slightly easier: there's enough services running as root that will pull in a dependency like this that the compromise still exists, it just requires a few more hoops to jump through. And systemd has in fact deliberately made the notification process simple specifically so people can avoid the dependency (if not for security, then simply for ease of building in a way which supports systemd notification but doesn't need anything else).

Dependencies are a liability, for sure, but I think a lot of the reaction there is not entirely helpful. At least, the size of the dependency tree in a package manager is only about as good a proxy for the risk as number of lines of code is for software project progress. Dependencies need to be considered, but not just minimised out of hand. There are plenty of risks on the reimplement-it-yourself side. The main thing to consider is how many people and who you are depending on, and who's keeping an eye on them. The latter part is something which is really lacking: the most obvious thing about these OSS vulnerabilites is that basically no-one is really auditing code at all, and if people are, they are not sharing the results. It should in principle be possible to apply the advantages of open-source to that as well, but it's real hard to set up the incentives to do it (anyone starting needs to do a lot to make it worthwhile).
Sounds like you don't use teams.

You get invited to meetings by those that do.
I think you mixed envelope (RFC5321) and headers (RFC5322) in your text.

The domain name in the From: field in the email envelop header is inspected and aligned with other domains authenticated by either SPF or DKIM:

The envelope does not have any header, the headers are in the content/body of the email. Also your screenshot of the "Here’s an example email envelop from an organization that passes all of the email security guidelines:" are the mail headers and not the envelope information.

regarding AMD zen4 with avx512:

"Here we see that, despite only being twice the price, the 7995WX x86 ISA offers 7x more raw compute power than the M2 Ultra ARM ISA, and nearly the same token generation speed, which is likely thanks to its 384mb L3 cache. When I bought this chip, I had to expand support in llama.cpp for bfloat16 and AVX512 before I could fully test its capabilities. My work means you can now run LLaMA 2.8x faster on Zen4 than you could before."
To note*

I'm talking about the portal where you can do stuff, the verification/identity is a system called "SPID".

Intelli framework orchestrates multi-model collaboration as a graph
Mini AGI can be created in two ways: one large model with a breakthrough that can take the current transformer to the next level. Or multi-models with different abilities that work to achieve user tasks and break into multiple steps.

The second option is more achievable in the short term, for this, I create a framework that uses graph theory to navigate the AI models as multiple tasks and handle the relations between different models.

This example shows how to create a data science teaching assistant using open-source Gemma and stable diffusion:

It’s more likely that it wouldn’t even start. The first step to any development was figuring out nitric acid as the cure to the petrification. Good luck getting any LLM to figure that out. Even if it did, good luck getting any of the other characters to know what to do with that information that early on.
There were a lot of similar strikes then. Against Rockefeller mines e.g. Usually the industrialists just hired guns to shoot the strikers, but in some bigger cases they hired the army or national guards to shoot the strikers. The Texas railroad commission war e.g.

Nowadays they can still hire guns, the army (eg the Banana war) or the CIA (foreign policy of secret wars). But buying the press is usually enough. The Detroit major mass-murder still runs free e.g. That's what we call anarchy.

And never ever was anyone prosecuted. I mean the only fascist who went to prison was the John du Pont for being extraordinary stupid.

I have some degree of Aphantasia. One of the definitive property for me is that when visualizing an object, it will only have properties explicitly defined. e.g. if visualizing ball on table, the concept is visualized but ball won't have any color until it is defined.
The interest in OSS-Fuzz was because it was used to monitor libxz, and so one of the necessary subgoals was to trick its maintainers into exempting libxz from a check that may have caught the backdoor, or at least drawn attention to it for unrelated reasons: https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/10667
McDonald's serves up a master class in how not to explain a system outage
> 4. Libsystemd is a problem for the ecosystem. People get dismissed as systemd haters for pointing this out but it's big, complicated, has a lot of dependencies and most programs use a tiny fraction of it. Encouraging every service to depend on it for initialization notifications is insane.

I couldn't agree more. Coming from the BSD world, systemd is a shock to the system; it's monstrous and has tendrils everywhere.
I guess it depends on the city, but I live within walking distance of Misawa airport, and in our case the airplane ticket is a bit cheaper than the Shinkansen. We only get three flights a day though.
Here in the US that likely means a state ID, such as a driver’s license, and a Social Security Number (SSN). None of which anyone would reasonably consider secure. I’m sure any national intelligence agency could probably manage stealing an SSN and forging a driver’s license to go with it, at least to the degree necessary to fool an employer for a little while.
Unrelated to the core teaching of the article, but German is a reasonably easy gateway language to Europe. If you know German and English, it will be easy to pick up Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish. Also Luxembourgish and Afrikaans. It’s easy because it’s quite regular, as far as European languages go.

Russian is another great gateway language because it unlocks the Cyrillic and Slavic worlds.

Italian then completes the picture, as it has many similarities with Spanish, French, and rare Latin-roots languages like Lithuanian.

I used to travel around Europe with my university friends. One knew Italian, another one Russian, I knew German. It’s quite interesting how you can get around most places in Europe with these languages, and consume a lot of culture.

Of course, everyone speaks English these days. But it’s a richer experience to travel when you understand what the people say and can read the signs, etc.

I recommend trying German and I can’t imagine how most people would still apologize about their Deutsch skills 10 years in — the language is really easy. Of course, the article author mentions perfectionism, which is a separate topic.
It would have been possible to, as a special case, type check the formatting, C compilers began doing that in the 1990s IIRC.
We are bound to repeat the errors of our ancestors when we forget the lessons they paid for with blood, sweat and tears. Hence why I am afraid of the passing of those who lived through the 1930/40s. I seems we are quickly forgetting lots of what humanity learned during those years.
The “dot” for “dop” mistakes were curious, not because they existed, but that the transcription engine got it right a few times.
A similar thing could easily be done with other approaches: a typo of a feature name would have the same effect. The main issue is autoconf is such a mess of layered bad scripting languages it's impossible to really get a good idea of what is actually going on.

In general I think feature detection is probably not necessary for most cases (especially the cases that a huge number of autoconf scripts do: the number of linux-only projects which have feature detection for a feature which is certainly present is ridiculous). It's much more reasonable to just try to build with all features, and provide manual flags to disable unwanted or unavailable ones. These at least mean the user/maintainer can decide more explicitly if that feature should be present or not.

I think he's complaining that when you write things in support of the GOP's racist and bigoted policies, you get flagged, but he hasn't made the connection that it's the racism and bigotry and misogyny that gets you flagged, not the fact that it's the GOP that supports those policies. If he has a problem with the GOP's brand getting tarnished by their association with racism and bigotry, then he should take it up with the GOP themselves, not people who don't tolerate racism and bigotry and misogyny.

>"Stand where he tells you to stand": Why the GOP is doubling down on misogyny in 2024. Republicans placate an evangelical base that's getting nastier with sexism — even if costs the party women's votes.

>[...] It's not just the assault on abortion rights, which they can't seem to hold back from, despite the resounding unpopularity of the anti-choice stance. It's that the MAGA base is getting ever more vitriolic with its misogyny. Part of that is due to the more secular dirtbags of the Joe Rogan/Elon Musk variety, who have become such a loud part of the Republican coalition under Trump. But this escalation of boldly misogynist rhetoric is also coming from the evangelicals. Republicans can't win without keeping those people happy, since the Christian right is where the GOP's organizing power still mainly resides.
Only if we also insist on wasting as much as we do. You'd just not always be able to purchase any cut of any animal any time of the year. You'd be limited to cuts and species available with seasonable components. Wasteful excess is what the current modus operandi supports, not availability full stop. There is plenty of evidence that suggests this would offer health benefits as well, since if we cannot always eat our favorite cut, we eat more diverse portions of animals, which in turn means more diverse nutrition intake, as nature intended I guess.

Today's video is an important one, as it sheds light on a concerning issue in the world of affiliate marketing. If you're wondering how some people try to lure others into fake opportunities during live Facebook streams, then this video is for you.

The secret? There are affiliate programs out there that have no real value or substance. Their sole purpose is to recruit new members, without offering any actual coaching or training to help people succeed online. It's what I like to call the shiny object syndrome, and it's a big problem in the industry.

In this video, we dive deep into this issue and discuss how scammers leverage trending affiliate programs to make quick money. They create blogs or market on Facebook, using keywords and SEO tactics to attract people searching for the latest opportunities. But in reality, these programs lack any real support or value.

As a digital content creator, I've come across countless affiliate programs, and it's essential to do your research before jumping into any opportunity. I've done the research for you, and I can assure you that there are legitimate programs out there that offer valuable training and support.

It is important to know that success in affiliate marketing takes determination and perseverance. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme. However, there's a wealth of knowledge and resources available to help you succeed. Learning from my journey and the experiences of others can be invaluable.

So why am I sharing this? Because I want to help you avoid falling for fake opportunities and guide you towards genuine programs that can help you grow your online business. This video might help you determine if an opportunity is worth pursuing.

Here are my key takeaways from this discussion:

1. Don't fall for shiny objects or trending affiliate programs without doing proper research.
2. Affiliate programs without substance or support are not worth your time.
3. Genuine programs provide valuable training and coaching to help you succeed.
4. There are hurdles in affiliate marketing, but with determination, you can overcome them.
5. It's crucial to be transparent and genuine when recommending affiliate programs to others.

Remember, there are countless ways to earn money online, but not all of them are legitimate or sustainable. I've personally benefited from joining legitimate programs like Legendary Marketer, which has provided me with the knowledge and support to grow my online business.

So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and get ready to discover the ins and outs of affiliate marketing and how to avoid falling for fake opportunities. If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed, don't worry. I've got your back.

Check out my free video training in digital marketing, where I share some of the best gold nuggets I've learned from Legendary Marketer. The link is in the description below.

Thank you for watching, and until next time, stay awesome, take care, and I'll see you in my next video. Bye-bye!
Does this work for companies as well? I've only ever encountered this kind of verification as part of the Digid login process, which is only usable for government and semi-government websites. I don't think you can use Digid to prove to an online web store that you're allowed to order alcohol, for instance.

With the way Digid works, I'm not too sure if I'd trust the system that much either, to be honest. Allowing the government to track what citizens visit what websites when seems like a massive privacy infraction. There are technologies that can fix these shortcomings, but I don't think the government cares about them.
