Yeah I have the same awkward process for provisioning databases. Another difficulty is configuration of passwords/auth which varies by server typically. Generally speaking I don’t want my migration process to have the ability to assume the super user role.

The variance in the script prevents using the typical migration frameworks built into the app, and it’s the wrong responsibility - the app migrations have a contract with whatever database is being connected to about which users and schemas exist.

I’m still not sure a declarative mechanism is desirable though because the database “setup” is still subject to change after initial provisioning: new schemas/roles/etc will be required and we need an imperative API to execute those changes transactionally with precision.

> I disagree. It stops new connectors being introduced (because you will still have to provide USB-C).

And just like with the predecessor Micro-USB: nothing stops the EU Parliament from adopting new legislation to update to new technologies. Unlike the US Congress, the EU Parliament is still able to regularly pass new laws.

> There is little gain: essentially slightly lower sales of charger cables.

No charger included means thinner packaging of products like laptops and phones and thus better transport efficiency (you can store more products in one container), less e-waste from chargers and cables that end up in the "never used" bin, and an easier time for consumers: no need to carry half a bag worth of power bricks, a single Anker dual-port power supply is all I need when going on vacation - it powers our laptops, phones, Switch, everything.
So there is something with a worse ping than IP over Avian Carriers.
Part of the problem is people who write up CVEs simply to get them on their resume. ("Curriculum Vitae Enhancement"?)

The SQLite maintainers refuse to engage with the CVE process, partially for this reason:

"While the original idea being CVEs is sound, the current processes for creating and managing CVEs are inadequate. There are countless grey-hat hackers running fuzzers against a wide-variety of open-source software products (SQLite as well as many others) and writing up CVEs against any problems they find. The grey-hats are rewarded, sometimes with prestige and sometimes financially, by the number and severity of the CVEs they write. This incentive results in a proliferation of CVEs which are often not well-vetted and which can have exaggerated impact claims. The quality-control procedures for CVEs are unable to cope with this flood of inputs, making it difficult to correct exaggerated, misleading, omitted, or inaccurate claims."

Very good observation, I wonder if that's exactly how they think.
New social media with AI to create great ideas
Cresh is a tool built on the CrowdMinding concept, enabling collaborative ideation and development of business ideas through AI analysis and community support found on social media platforms. This tool harnesses collective intelligence to crystallize and guide the development of ideas. In the current MVP version, our focus is on the AI-based analysis component, which is comprehensive, rich in metrics, and facilitates deep understanding of a wide range of issues. Additionally, the social media platform allows for browsing and commenting on ideas, fostering community interaction.
It’s because there’s a bean counter at the top. It’s obvious this tech was all made for a glasses form factor that’s still at least 10 years away because the gamble that they’d figure it out didn’t pay off.

A visionary at the top just wouldn’t launch until the product was right, but a bean counter is counting how many beans have been spent and wants a return on the decade of dev time so rushed it out into a headset form factor instead.
No, because Europe and America aren't that different in terms of how they want to organize their societies.

Not sure I understand your example? It's not an offensiveness benchmark, in fact I can imagine a model trained to be inoffensive would do worse on a truth benchmark. I wouldn't go so far as to say truthfulQA is actually testing how truthful a model is or its reasoning. But it's one of the least correlated with other benchmarks which makes it one of the most interesting. Much more so than running most other tests that are highly correlated with MMLU performance. https://twitter.com/gblazex/status/1746295870792847562

Indeed, although if your personal situation involves "sitting in conferences listening to boring rehash speeches", as the OP stated, it's likely that $70 per year is effectively little more than a rounding error on your annual expenditure.
Absolutely you could also remote desktop into your Windows maschine with power over ethernet.
A very decisive factor will be the type of powertrain. Tesla is pure EV. If we were to get a breakdown with the powertrain type, we can have some more useful inferences.for example, should wecknow Tesla maintenance vs the cost for EVs of Volkswagen, then reliability of the company could really be put into perspective. Also a breakdown for comparable cars in EV, ICE and hybrid would be really helpful. I think that would skew things towards EVs. Yet, in the long term, if there was a battery replacement, then the cost will be more for EVs.
The issue is old people don't like change. If an older person is used to the WIMP interface there is no point forcing them to change how they do everything.

> I'd rather have securer products to get started with and then take it from there.

Look forward to great American, Chinese and Korean software and hardware, who’ll invest 100% of their funds into innovation and growth, while EU startups keep paying for Open Source software security and subsidising this security advantage for the whole world.

The non-EU companies will grow big and then buy out the EU companies, while EU citizens will be left with wonder why all the major high paying tech and R&D jobs are all outside EU.

Laws like these need to be agreed upon, by all major countries together. No one country should pass policies like this which just sabotages their own people’s innovative dreams.
Are all ideas shared with everybody or can they be private and hidden.
Yeah it's kind of mind-boggling to me that the creators of React (which SwiftUI is ofc heavily inspired by) and the most successful cross-platform quasi-native library (React Native), have not managed to bring those powers to their biggest investment.

I truly don't get it.
You can also ensure that not many things change over time. My parents have been using Linux for over 15 years and they love it. Mate looks basically the same, as do most of the applications they use (file manager, image viewer, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.). There's no strange software required for their Brother printer/scanner and nothing suddenly appears with each update.
The thing is, there were people who used the Mac 128K and loved it. They had a use case, and it fit that use case perfectly. The Vision Pro, on the other hand, has a serious returns problem. People are finding that it isn't the usability slam-dunk the iPhone and the Mac were.
That's why I believe public infrastructure should be publicly-owned. It's rare to find a profitable metro system...it should be run by the government as a benefit for citizens, not as a business like Brightline.
Too bad step one was to replace human curation with algorithms
Or it just happened to monopolise the browser at a time when the web was being invented, and has nothing to do with the features of the language.

As a language for new developers is terrible: 100 different ways to do anything, most of them a muddle of paradigms that's inexplicable to anyone without 2 decades of experience, and so on.

Imagine a new developer using ChatGPT to generate: python, C, go, etc. vs. generating javascript. Most of the generated js is incomphrensible to newbies, but for the others generally obvious.
They do look impressive but the videos are all 3D graphics rather than real. The texture on the robot body and shadows are the giveaway.
>I do not see why the Vision Pro will not follow a similar trajectory

Because there wasn't a $350 competitor that had been around for years that did much the same and excelled in some areas.

It's an incremental product charging revolutionary prices: sub-orbital trajectory.
> why technologists don't think about the consequences of what they do before they do it?

I would argue that incentives matter, and the system runs like a chemical reaction to conclusion.

The idea that Edenic internet of the pre-AJAX days was scalable, sustainable or can be somehow regained is a fine fable.

> Because they focus on short term profits

It takes the deep pockets of an Elon Musk, or a hardcore community like HN to do otherwise, no? Again, incentives matter, and economic gravity is hard to defy.
HCL: Toolkit for Structured Configuration Languages
From what I could glean from the couple of paragraphs peaking out from behind all the ads occupying 2/3 of the screen and before I hit the paywall this seems to be an article complaining about the quality of content on the internet.
Yea sure.. but again a big recurring theme of The Unix Haters Manual is "broken by default". That things can be fixed isn't the point, if the fix is local, ephemeral, easily forgotten, and the fix not being implemented is blamed on the user because "you can fix it".

Broken by default is itself exactly the problem.

> Up until about GPT 2, EURISKO was arguably the most interesting achievement in AI.

I'm really baffled by such statement and genuinely curious.

How come that studying GOFAI as undergraduate and graduate at many European universities, doing a PhD. and working in the field for several years _never_ exposed me to EURISKO up until last week (thanks to HN)?

I heard about Cyc, many formalism and algorithms that related to EURISKO, but never heard of its name.

Is EURISKO famous in US only?
> why technologists don't think about the consequences of what they do before they do it?

They have bills to pay, and people are willing to pay for that.
Technologists with strongly held opinions also exist, but they've been marginalized in every possible area where money gets you leverage. Just look at how open-source became a corporate breeding ground.

When you have a question like "Do N people have no ethics?", the answer is very often: some of N do, some of N don't. And the decisions to promote N1 and sack N2 are rarely made within the N group
It’s not irony at all. There’s nothing inherent to the web that guarantees you free access to its content.
The Optimizations in Erlang/OTP 27
In case anyone is interested: The EU did publish the draft "standardization request" recently https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/58974

This is the request which will allow the three european standardization organizations (CEN, CENELEC, ETSI) to draft the required 41 standards for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). See page 17 and following for the list.

To participate in the standardization you have to be part of a "national body" and they will "send" you to participate in EU standardization.
I know no one from my FOSS circles who has any experience there, as most relevant standards for us are written outside of these organizations (W3C, IETF etc.)

So we're currently trying to get an official seat at the table via the established ways (e.g. DIN in Germany, https://standards.cencenelec.eu/dyn/www/f?p=CEN:5 see this for your own country).

If you are interested in this please send me an email, we're trying to put together a guide on how to engage in "official" standardization efforts as Open Source people.

The effort from this blog post is (amongst other things) trying to establish a whole new way of engaging with the EU. We need both approaches.
Why? People have been illiterate for most of human history. So even if libraries existed, they could not be used.

Show HN: I made an AI platform to find sponsors and brand deals for youtubers
Finally after 20 years in software, and 4 years on youtube, I am launching my first ever indie product, Sponsorstream.

It uses AI to sift through youtube to find sponsors relevant to creators' video ideas, to help them make more money and become full-time Youtubers faster, through sponsorships and brand deals.

I initially made this for a french AI youtuber (Top 5 in France) who raised the difficulty in finding relevant sponsors.

Maybe you'll find it useful too?

Took a while to get myself to post. Might not be perfect, but got to start somewhere.

Appreciate any feedback.
For that reason, a comparison between GPT 2 and EURISKO seems funny to me.

I discussed ChatGPT with my yoga teacher recently, but I bet not even my IT colleagues would have a clue about EURISKO. :-)
I like the Safe Spaces. Such heart warming contents! Also, the joke I told in the meeting WAS really funny!

Right, so instead of growing an existing market they just assumed they would generate a new market when in reality there isn't one to make.

They even knew this because Meta has publicly burned a container ship of cash in the past five years failing to make this imaginary market exist.

No it is not. That is a dated view about nature of science.
You present one possible outcome but it is far from certain.

Another possible scenario is that companies investing in these principles will be way ahead when similar regulation will pop up _everywhere_ else.

You also present your opinion as a factual statement: "Laws like these need to be..." -> No, they don't as can be seen by GDPR, CRA and others.

I am personally affected by the CRA, I have a startup here in Europe and I see this as a great chance for EU, FOSS and Software Development in general.

> It's very likely the engineering talent in San Francisco is better than that of Tokyo

I'm not sure why this would be the case. From a capitalist point of view, the engineering talent in Tokyo is at least as skilled if not moreso since Japan has better education outcomes, and, the workforce is more exploitable for raw hours.
How does “AI” make this better than simply searching for potential sponsors?
The ergonomics on any laptop is dogshit compared to a dedicated e-ink reader. Just the amount of brightness the display beams to your face makes it suboptimal for reading in low light.

And the "charger" I need with my ancient Kindle is a standard micro-USB cable, not exactly exotic. And as soon as this one breaks down, the next one will be USB-C like a good 90%+ of my devices I travel with.
Well maybe some context would help.

I hang out in Facebook groups where we talk about AI news and share our open source projects. I regularly get approached by people interested in learning about ai. I have developed a few mentorships and friendships that way.

Some people approach me requesting mentorship in coding for AI. Usually these people don't know python, git, or how to implement and test code. So we usually focus on those topics first. At the same time we read current papers in AI, discuss important trends and ideas, and set up small AI experiments. Eventually we make small contributions to open source projects, and maybe start a project solving a problem they care about.

For example, in one project we worked on fine tuning OpenAI's whisper model to adapt to the speaker's accent - this would help users with heavy accents enjoy the benefits of accurate speech recognition. In another project, we're building a DSL for authoring interactive fiction.

However, not everyone who approaches me is honest about their intentions. Of the 12 people I've mentored in the last year, 6 of them have attempted to involve me in something that was likely a scam. They've built rapport with me by learning and doing well in our conversations about AI. Then they've asked me for money, help with international purchases, help hiring mercenaries to find their brother's killer, or attempting to get me to accept money against my express wishes. They've tried to involve me in investment schemes, and other likely pretexts to scams.

I initially felt that it did not matter if these people were scammers, or tried to scam me. I could easily reject their attempts. The skills I was teaching were the important part, and I felt that once they had the skills, it would help them build a better life where they could use code for a living rather than scamming. It did not occur to me that a scammer would likely use coding skills to commit more crimes against innocents.

At this time I've given up on the program, because I don't think that I'm really helping the scammers, and there is a risk they might find a way to scam or extort me or someone in my network or communities. The projects we work on have often focused on helping people with disabilities and communication issues, and that weighs especially heavy on me. I started to consider the risk that by helping a scammer start an open source community serving vulnerable people, I would be giving them access to potential victims.

So at this time, I have stepped back from mentoring anyone who ever made any kind of unethical suggestion or pretext to a scam.

I am happy with my decision, because it's given me more energy to dedicate to bright students who really want to make a positive impact on the world of open source. I also spend a lot less time worrying that I might be enabling criminals.

TL;DR. Yes it's real. But I'm not saying it's a good idea!
