Usually they do, either as some other company's acquisition or as a company that acquires others (like facebook/meta).

Little actually is entirely gone, someone snatches it when the price gets low enough.

Whether they grow themselves to the point they buy others or are bought is a distinction without a difference in this case. Their DNA exists in myriad ways, and even if they survived and weren't bought few few online companies are the same a decade later.
You can take this idea further by trying to find computational analogues of more complex algebra structures and operations. For example, the derivative of a type function gives the type of ‘one-hole contexts’ of that type[0], which gives rise to the work on zippers for context-preserving transformation in functional data structures, things like Rust's `Entry` API for maps.

Amr Sabry has been doing work on extending this kind of ‘type algebra’ to negatives and fractions, with applications to reversible programming à la Kanren and quantum programming languages where breaking reversibility is an important effect, and I'm always kind of captivated by it when I see it. His original paper on it[1] is from 2012; he's produced a new paper[2] more recently that is more sophisticated but perhaps a bit harder to follow without a category-theory background.

More than 90% of dating advice is overfitting. It’s high stakes and there is plenty of signal to glean, but once you know the basics of the situation the rest is up to chance. Which means if you’re being picky (and I think to should be if you can) success can take a while. In the meantime you could end up desperately pulling apart facts like a conspiracy theorist. The best advice, at least for people that aren’t super lucky, is to stop trying, do the obvious things (be healthy, happy, financially comfortable) and live a life that puts you in contact with women.

You can still do anything you want with just Python lambdas technically speaking right? Like, Python lambdas can express any lambda calculus expression, so as long as you're not writing something with side effects, you can use an arbitrarily complex Python lambda. Though I guess the resulting code wouldn't exactly be Pythonic.

“In 2016 a Florida man attempted to run from Boca Raton, FL to Bermuda in a home-made, inflatable plastic bubble. Reza Baluchi had been warned by the Coast Guard that any efforts to attempt his journey would be futile and result in severe legal and financial retribution. However, Reza’s convictions and ambition left him undeterred by such threats - he’d been waiting his whole life to do this and nothing was going to stop him. This is the story of that fateful journey as told by the man who attempted it.”

Show HN: Focumon – Turn your work into a multiplayer adventure
I was on the eternal quest of searching for a properly gamified productivity app that keeps me motivated throughout the day and in the long term.

After a few months of a fruitless search, I made up my mind and decided to build it myself! I've since launched FocuMon a little over a month ago. Quite a few early users told me it has helped them stay focused, so I'm excited to share it on HN for ya'll to try it out and let me know how I can make it better!

FocuMon is like an idle Pokémon game where you can collect, level up, and evolve cute monsters by being productive! It puts a reward layer on top of your work which helps to give you an initial boost to get into focus; it then gets out of your way once you are in the flow :)

I'm actively developing more features & game modes for FocuMon. It is also a multiplayer-first app where you can adventure together with people from all over the world!

Cheers and thanks for your time!

Yes! This game is a lot of fun. My only gripe with it is that the red area is small and the green area is huge, and that's really minor complaint. With the right people this game is amazing.
...which is not necessarily evidence that Klarna has obtained value from OpenAI Assistants API. It's quite possible (likely, even) that this has effectively been a complete removal of support.

I haven't used Klarna, but a few other products I've used are unsupported now because human support were replaced with AI "support" that is completely useless.
The best quote I’ve heard from our clients is “don’t trust AI with anything you wouldn’t trust a high schooler to do.”

That line of reasoning has held true across basically every project we’ve touched that tried to incorporate LLMs into a core workflow.
Agreed that the Irfanview default settings are questionable in some cases. And I personally find the UI hard to work with because nothing is ever where I expect it to be, with the important display option settings buried in a nested menu.

But it is highly configurable, and I think you're catching grief because it really doesn't sound like you or your colleagues made any attempt to take advantage of that.
I find it the same, cliché. It had great potential but after the first season I decided I’m not going to watch the next one.

Also agree on Severance - fantastic.
And yet "Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds as costs incurred for generating AI images are extremely high."
probably the cabal of mods that run the more popular subreddits. I deleted an account because of that; I had posted in one of the antivax subs about how stupid people in there were being and the popular reddit mod cabal sentenced anyone who posted ever in a slew of those antivax subs to "bans" and if you used a different account you were "ban evading". It's a petty power play by very small minded people to hurt those even though reddit possesses no mechanism to know you are "banned" in a sub other than a one time message. It just shows how pathetic and small their lives must be to try and reach out and cause other folks trouble
I'm curious: do you maintain a popular open source project?

The reason I ask is maybe the people who do are (in general) self-selected from the subgroup of people who don't just say "sod off" when someone is rude or inconsiderate.

If that was their stance in life, they would likely not put up with maintaining a popular open source project for very long.
That’s not an agent based setup.

I tend to use inner functions (nested def) when I need something more than a simple lambda, but don't want to come up with a good name or pollute the class / module namespace

It works okay, but I do wish there was a better way
Yea - I've used these in multiple offices, and the only thing everyone seems to like is the "just turn the dial to turn it on" ease. Everyone I run into hates everything else about the UI because it's so vague and imprecise.

Plus this single-dial stuff is really only possible because it only does full power all the time. But nobody microwaves something for 6m non stop in an office because that'll burn even a frozen meal - a more accurate dial going up to 3m would probably be better.

Or, like, just use a regular time display rather than dozens of glowing dots. Turn one way to add time, the other to reduce. Easy and probably cheaper because it's not custom.
I quoted the important part of your point. Adding that it did have popular support is a fact that is not established. The CIA and US media propaganda spread false reports about the situation then and still to this day. i.e this article you attached is a pure piece of western propaganda. And even if that was a reason, the reason why US abd CIA involved is much more obvious. It is the oil right getting nationalized. All other points are just cover up.

Edit: I replied before you edit your comment
(a) if my theology be accurate, at least jews, christians, muslims, and mormons all believe they believe in the same god (their differences lying in beliefs as to which prophets had commit bits), so it's not surprising that Rome would have declared their impression of his philosophy an official heresy, eg https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-x/en/encyclicals/documen...

(b) although he said he was being misinterpreted, his congregation* also threw him out for what they saw as heresy.

* reform is XIX, and haredim are XX, so it's probably safe to say his XVII congregation was orthodox?

Opinions mine based on learning from scratch this space in the last couple months only.

I feel like these architectures built on top of last gen LLMs are mostly useless now.

The current gen jump was significant enough that creating a complex chain of thought with RAG on last gen usually is surpassed by 0 shots on current gen.

So instead of spending time and money building it it's better to focus on 0-shot and update your models to the latest version.

Feeding LLM outputs into other LLM inputs IMHO just will increase the bias. Initially I expected to mix and match different models to avoid it but that didn't work as much as I expected.

It depends a lot on your application honestly.

Technological advances also increase complexity which can increase risk in unforeseen ways. Here is a perfect example where a single action within a 180 millisecond window was almost enough to crash a plane [0].

If they asked Apple most probably they don’t have access. In current case once they got access, they go after each of the persons in contacts and create cases against and if they are low profile candidates they might go missing.
I just (as in, five minutes ago) hooked GPT 4 up to my 3D printer and it's fantastic, I use an ESP32 Box and I can ask it what files I have on my printer, I can ask it to print a file, I even added calendar integration so it can read me my events and add new ones. I love it.

All that's left is for someone to bundle it all up into a nice package, and we'll be in the future.
Most people become closer to the average of their colleagues. Very very few people are so strong by themselves that they can raise the level of a place just by being there individually.
This reminded me of the story of the VC who tried to avoid meeting Larry & Sergey when they were looking for investment:

> David Cowan’s college friend rented her garage to Sergey and Larry for their first year. In 1999 and 2000 she tried to introduce Cowan to “these two really smart Stanford students writing a search engine.” Students? A new search engine? In the most important moment ever for Bessemer’s anti-portfolio, Cowan asked her, “How can I get out of this house without going anywhere near your garage?”

Front page vote counts are now typically 1/10th what they were before the exodus, and bot content is visibly more prevalent. If you expected the website to die overnight, that was just an unrealistic definition of failure for a large website. Digg, the failure that founded Reddit, is still alive today. MySpace still exists. AOL is still selling dial-up internet. Failure at this scale is a slow slide to irrelevance, and Reddit is well on its way. The only winner here is the CEO.

Some. We are building some new processes from the ground up and will use Agents as a first draft contributor. This is typically where we find the most slowdown. And we will consistently search for the word "delve" as a misspelling :)
If you write Rust where you copy all the time instead of borrow, it can save you enormous amounts of time with arguably minimal performance degradation. This can make up a lot of the perceived time disparity between Go and Rust, and leave C++ in the dust. (Yes, I know C++ can copy as well, but in my experience, it can be very difficult to teach old C++ devs new habits.)

After you've profiled your working code, you can go back and optimize with less copying, more borrowing, and other optimizations where it matters.

Go has the same issue. After it's working, you go back to profile, and those optimization steps can often take longer than original development. (Which is why you profile before optimizing.)

With C++ you must add on time to catch all the memory access bugs and fix them, which is time you don't have to take in Rust and Go due to the borrow checker and garbage collector respectively.

In Go you have to find all the spots where you didn't check the error return code or other unhandled branches, hopefully before deploying to prod. This is time you don't have to take in Rust since it catches these errors during compile.

The advantage of Go is that the typical path is easier, the learning curve is much shallower, and its orders of magnitude faster to compile leading to faster dev feedback loops. On the Rust side, you've got a longer learning curve, and you really have to actively resist the urge to prematurely optimize.
I built an AI-agents tech demo[1], and am now pivoting. A few thoughts:

* I was able to make a simple AI agent that could control my Spotify account, and make playlists based on its world knowledge (rather than Spotify recommendation algos), which was really cool. I used it pretty frequently to guide Spotify into my music tastes, and would say I got value out of it.

* GPT-4 worked quite well actually, GPT-3.5 worked maybe 80% of the time. Mixtral did not work at all, aside from needing hacks/workarounds to get function-calling working in the first place.

* It was very slow and VERY expensive. Needing CoT was a limitation. Could easily rack up $30/day just testing it.

My overall takeaway: it's too early: too expensive, too slow, too unreliable. Unless you somehow have a breakthrough with a custom model.

From the marketing side, people just don't "get it." I've since niched down, and it's very, very promising from a business perspective.

If you have a "super-agent" AI that is capable of recovering a business process from an error state, why not just use that agent in the first place?
The term "AI agents" might be a bit overhyped. We're using AI agents for the orchestration of our fully automated web scrapers. But instead of trying to have one large general purpose agent that is hard to control and test, we use many smaller agents that basically just pick the right strategy for a specific sub-task in our workflows. In our case, an agent is a medium-sized LLM prompt that has a) context and b) a set of functions available to call.
For example we use it for:

- Navigation: Detect navigation elements and handle actions like pagination or infinite scroll automatically.

- Network Analysis: Identify desired data within network calls.

- Data transformation: Clean and map the data into the desired format. Finetuned small and performant LLMs are great at this task with a high reliability.

The main challenge:

We quickly realized that doing this for a few data sources with low complexity is one thing, doing it for thousands of websites in a reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient way is a whole different beast.

The integration of tightly constrained agents with traditional engineering methods effectively solved this issue for us.
Because the space is bounded and discrete, you can further optimize by triangulating smartly. If you always pick a triangulation point on the boundary, you will always end up with a single candidate as the other candidate will be out of bounds. (Due to discreteness, you can only pick a point near the boundary, but this will still work in a vast majority of cases.) That reduces the average to ~4.

This is what it is portrayed on tv and sounds terrible.
> But because in my culture married couples assimilate into the husband’s family, the kids are being raised with a strong dose of Bangladeshi traditionalism.

But your kids aren't watching Bangladeshi TV, are they? And I'm guessing they don't run around with mostly-Bangladeshi friends.

You might be surprised how your kids are being influenced by your wife — and her family. I've read over the years that culture is transmitted primarily by the mother; that certainly fits what I've observed casually.

And let's not forget that at some point most kids tend to rebel — especially against authoritarian fathers (and then maybe later revert to what they remember from childhood).

The “Stripe support failures” that end up on HN always seem to be sketchy or even fraudulent businesses trying to rally public opinion to force stripe to support them even though they’re against the ToS and could get Stripe banned from Visa/Mastercard/etc.

> I don't think ai agents are good enough to replace every job today

You mean any.

You can fire a human knowledge worker for not doing their job correctly, but what are you gonna do when you only have LLMs and realize they can't do their job correctly?
As a manager, your responsibility is to make something work by managing the people assigned to it.

If the situation isn't working, either the thing itself needs to change (rarely possible in many situations), or the person needs to change, or there needs to be a different person there.

It is a fault at that point, even if it's just a personal difference and entirely reasonable for them to be doing whatever it is they are doing. Regardless, it still isn't working.

And at the end of the day, the managers perceptions (and their superiors perceptions) are what matters. It's literally why they are there, and their job.

Is it fair? Often, no it is not.

Is it life? Yes.
It's not just the length that's frustrating, it's the near total lack of control. Miss the first few seconds because your sound was off/low? Gotta watch the whole fucking thing to the end and then let it replay because there's no slider or restart/rewind button.

All because either they purposefully wanted to force us to do that (view count boosting I guess, or it's more likely to be remembered?) or some google exec got Shorts barely done enough to show off at a board meeting and say "done, made something that competes against reels!" and then ran off to work on something else to try and boost their stature in the company.
If not site:reddit.com, what am I going to type into Google to get any kind of reasonable search result?
I thought it was just OK Way too much was not thought out well. The society they had and the power structures didn't really make any sense and that was the whole crux of the show.
imagine downvoting you for expressing an opinion. HackerNews should be better than this.
The alternative is to simply not use it. Read books, hang out with friends, do some tinkering.

Free thinking is perfectly well possible without Reddit, in our very society. Unless you have some really weird thoughts? Rubbing these thoughts in other peoples faces may not be viable, but it has never been, as far as I recall. And I'm glad for it.
> I don't think the government of a country like the USA or China would deliberately permit their employees to get involved with crap like this.

Not the USA, but I can easily imagine this is China. Because, as of right now, this seems like the way China does business. The Chinese/the PLA fund a hacking complex of contractors, and when one gets caught, they simply deny involvement. [0],[1]
