A part of building great products is allowing your engineers to focus on things that really matter. But sometimes you need to change copy, add small features, from my experience with some of these tools, it is incredible. A PM can just create a repo issue, and the bots will go away with high accuracy and quality (if your codebase is setup well), and submit a PR.

This level of velocity for teams cannot be understated.
I don't know what that is
Agreed. I've taken to treating my linux installs like I used to treat Windows: no internet access expect application specific.

For example, I run a Visionfive 2 OpenBSD install with squid, everything else has to go through that.
I work at Johnson Space Center on an app called CODA [1] that allows us to view all ISS video downlinks in sync with each other as well as with audio and data sources. We can view any moment back to 2013. The plan is to open-source the app, but that of course would not make the data available. We’re heavily plugged into the Artemis program and hopefully will get more of its imagery available from the beginning.

Yes they are too bureaucratic. No, they do eventually change things. GDPR, DSA, net neutrality. Our customer rights are a lot healthier than in the US.

It's not a race to be the biggest. I don't care about more spending power. Look at the US where you can buy so much but only get 10 holidays per year to enjoy it and stressing about losing healthcare when you lose your job. Which can happen from one day to the next "at will". And still not being able to buy a house.

I want piece of mind and to enjoy my life.
Just guessing, but I imagine that Google Translate probably will, assuming, say, we represent Zapotec to English as f and English to Kannada as g use f ∘ g to infer the translation of Zapotec to Kannada. And saying that, I’m guessing that if the corpus of f⁻¹ is too small, it can probably attempt to infer the gaps from f. But these inferred mappings are probably of lower quality than explicit ones returning us to the original issue.

And man, I really wish someone who actually knew would weigh in on this.
Why do you think using vi to write data to disk makes it any more private?

But they weren't obese. The person I was responded to claimed obesity is because of less meat.

I didn't know you got your measles vaccine from a plate of pork chops. I got mine via a hypodermic needle, from a nurse who studied anatomy, biology, and germ theory for several years, and washed her hands.
No you can't right now. Hopefully they will add this to ollama.
Maybe that is their hope but Siri actually developed things that Apple wanted, their speech recognition was licensed from Nuance but IIRC the natural language parsing and speech synthesis was done in-house. OTOH Rabbit and Humane seem to mostly just be haphazardly gluing third party APIs together to assemble a product that barely works. What exactly would they bring to the table in an acquisition?
I think people have collectively decided that they want their programs stupid and predictable, rather than smart and unwieldy.
Which llama3 is that? 8b or 70b? And what kind of quantisation?

Is that verbatim the prompt you put? You misused “aid” for “aide”, “principals” for “principles”, “countries” for “country’s”, and typo’d “affiliation”—which is all certainly fine for an internet comment, but would break the illusion of some rigorous policy discussion going on in a way that might affect our parrot friends.
Ask HN: Not a personal assistant, but a manager to get things done?
Imagine a dedicated manager, who calls you in the morning (or when you have planed during the week planning call) and checks how is your plan for the day, ensures that week goals are in the focus and if you need some help to unstuck.

Actually not joking, partially. Would such "service" help you get things done?

Reverse of concierge service that would push you whatever goals you set.
At least for any defined set of layouts, you could infer what those other keypresses would be and compare their efficiencies. Still a compromise but it satisfies all the security issues.
The python team is moving abroad, not undersizing. At least, that was my reading of it. I would argue this is different than over hiring. Over time, in cheaper areas, the hiring may even expand.
perl developer community found this probably isn't good ideas, so they decided to keep this version number for some important updates. maybe after the experiment end of "class feature" in newest version.
So i can send one person with a live video call app, and then N person can validate physical presence? :)
The way I understand it:

First Variant:

1. User: Asks coding question

2. Ai: Outputs half functioning code

3. User: Asks to fix specific things

4. Ai: Creates buggy code

5. User: asks again to fix things

6. Ai: writes even more buggy code

Proposed second variant with copying code:

Until step 4 everything stays the same, but instead of asking it to fix the code again you copy it into another session, this way, you'll repeat step 3 again, without the LLM "seeing" the code it previously generated for step 4.
This is driven by incentives though...

The same incentives that enable google to exist, then push the same company to be "less good" by prioritizing growth and public market interests.

As long as you borrow capital, there is always a cost on incentives.
I do massive amounts of zero shot document classification tasks, the performance keeps getting better. It’s also a domain where there is less of a hallucination issue as it’s not open ended requests.
> Why would the high cost employee agree to such a transfer? Who would it benefit?

I don't know Bangalore, but Munich (mentioned in the article) may be a cool place to live and the compensation may be in the same ballpark than in the US after taking into account cost of living. It's actually not uncommon to see people working in US offices transferring to Europe. And most employees in Europe don't necessarily want to transfer to the US even though they often could.

Reasons could be interest in a different culture, not adjusting to US culture, better work life balance, better job security.
This article tries to describe the past, present & potential future of the relationships between the Media, Tech, and their Audiences. However, I felt the stream-of-conscious style was disorganized, and its ideas were undeveloped.

If the writer had instead developed a logical mental model of those relationships and presented them in stages, I could follow along easier and appreciate their points better. Even better, a few diagrams to demonstrate how they see the territory shifting over time. Wrap it up with citations on prior art, and then it may yet be a proper tech spec :^)
Because that pattern is pervasive in the society that they will have no choice but to live in when they grow up.

Imho, the problem with "consent to ads or buy a subscription" is that it becomes the new CableCARD [0].

I.e. all companies really want to be in the business of tracking customers, because they can repackage derivative products and increase their revenue.

So the "subscription" option ends up experiencing a lack of support, mysterious technical issues, underinvestment, etc.

End result, customers don't choose it, which businesses use to lobby for further eroding mandates.

You can't force a company to provide and support a product they don't want to. You can force them to turn one off.

Fascinating results:

"Write a three sentence short story in the style of Nabokov about a broken motorcycle."

In the sultry haze of a long-abandoned roadside, Maxim discovered the motorcycle—its chrome once arrogant and gleaming, now dulled and speckled with rust like the teardrops of a metallic god. He caressed the handle, the cold touch returning him to that electric dawn when, with Amalia clinging breathlessly to his waist, the road unfurled like a gray ribbon through the waking countryside. Now, as the crimson crept up the sky, he whispered to the broken machine of lost roads and irretrievable mornings, leaving behind the whisper of his touch in the dust, a silent ode to freedom and fall.

"Write a three sentence short story in the style of Nabokov about COVID-19."

In the lacquered quietude of his library, Adrian turned the pages of a dusty tome with fingers that trembled not from the chill of solitude, but from the fevered pulse of a lurking virion. Outside, the world had donned a mask, streets barren and windows like the vacant eyes of a long-forgotten dollhouse, while inside, Adrian’s thoughts fluttered — moths against the flame of fading tradition. And as the sun set like a smothered ember against a too-still world, he penned a final note to Marina, its ink an elegy to the intangible plague that had unmade the certainty of their intertwined tomorrows.
This made a sorta interesting story but not really a surprising one when it first ran.

-The acoustics are not… great.

- Many of the commuters are plain not interested in the type of music

- Even in a proper concert setting even many of us who do, sometimes appreciate fine classical music, can’t blindly distinguish reliably between the highly competent of which there are many and the truly gifted.

The bits GPT4 always gets wrong - and as you say, more and more wrong the further I try to work with it to fix the mistakes - are exactly the bits I want it to do for me. Tedious nested loops that I need to calculate on paper in particular.

What it's good for is high level overview and structuring of simple apps, which saves me a lot of googling, reviewing prior work, and some initial typing.

After my last attempts to work with it, I've decided that until there's another large improvement in the models (GPT5 or similar), I won't try to use it beyond this initial structure creation phase.

The issue is that for complex apps that already have a structure in place - especially if it's not a great structure and I don't have the rights or time to do a refactoring - the AI can't really do anything to help. So in this case, for new, simple, or test projects it'll seem like an amazing tool and then in the real world it's pretty much useless or even just wastes time, except for brainstorming entirely new features that can be reasoned about in isolation, in which case it's useful again.

A counterpoint is that code should always be written in a modular way so that each piece can be reasoned about in isolation. Which doesn't often happen in large apps that I've worked on, unfortunately. Unless I'm the one who writes them from scratch.
Wow, I was poking around and found this demo app[0][1] showcasing Threlte v6. The Technical Outline, particularly the explanation of the simplified car physics, is enlightening. It's essentially a Trackmania clone complete with a track editor, using Svelte/Threlte's advantages to its fullest.

The gist:
> As a result 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D influences a large number of biologic pathways which may help explain association studies relating vitamin D deficiency and living at higher latitudes with increased risk for many chronic diseases including autoimmune diseases, some cancers, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, schizophrenia and type 2 diabetes
>A three-part strategy of increasing food fortification programs with vitamin D, sensible sun exposure recommendations and encouraging ingestion of a vitamin D supplement when needed should be implemented to prevent global vitamin D deficiency and its negative health consequences.

These people got paid for their work, and in many if not most cases were able to benefit from their part in Google’s growth over their tenure via stock options. Why is it wrong to part ways after the relationship stops being mutually beneficial?
Yeah, I think I can dispose of the ~$16 for a pack of 12 these are currently going for. Which, when you consider how many things go into the manufacture of one of these, all the little parts, assembly, is practically a miracle.

> If you're writing low level code, you have to convert UTF-8 to UTF-16 and back.

It depends. If you're writing an app, just add the necessary incantation to your manifest, and all the narrow char APIs start talking UTF-8 to you.

For a library, yeah.
Simplest explation is: If you take a closer look to Shannon–Hartley theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%E2%80%93Hartley_theore... you can see, that in theory you can have arbitrarly low signal/nose ratio for message to get trough.
It seems obvious to me that protest movements in certain countries serve US security state interests and other protest movements in other countries do not. It would make sense in this context if you have e.g. a backdoored chat app which is otherwise secure that it would serve US security state interests for some protestors to have access to that app, and no harm if the protestors you don't like use it.

Recall that it is public information that USAID created a Twitter clone called Zunzuneo to be used in Cuba. It's not out of the realm of possibility that they have also made some "secure" chat app.

That’s the point, the yogurt purchased in stores is processed to the point it loses the very benefits that make yogurt “healthy.”

To answer your specific question, farmers that have dairy cows. It’s not so common these days, but neither is healthy yogurt. Another example of a probiotic food would be kimchi, which in the US most people probably purchase in stores (pasteurized), but in SKorea many make at home so it’s raw with naturally occurring cultures and enzymes.
I am completely speaking my thoughts but I think it's of course a multitude of reasons that can all bubble up when the economy slips.

Men are the dominant gender in the workforce and are commonly the one supporting themselves or the household financially. This is an enormous amount of pressure and that pressure is built up through personal expectations on ourselves and the supposed expectations of others. We are getting to a stage where we're having to work harder for not much more in return and that reduces our belief in the benefits of doing that work.

All it takes is a recession, lay off, mental illness or disability to create a break in which those social norms fall away and may make some men question why they were putting as much effort in as they were before. Settling for perhaps a lower paying job with less effort and realising that this provides just as much if not more fulfillment. Or perhaps it's also the workload now being shared by their partners.
Incredible!

It answered "How many frogs does a horse have?" correctly, with perfect reasoning. No model I've tested has ever answered that correctly without 3-4 hints.

I'm impressed!
I'm wondering how feasible it is for individuals to crack encrypted communication, and hack radios, preferably secured ones but I don't know where to buy one. Those encrypted radios in the 70s and 80s must be obsolete, right?

I'm not into communicating with other people. Hacking computers and radios seem to be a lot more interesting.
This is really cool. For the user data, should we assume you're using the user IP address to then look up weather and time?

The CDC does not recommend seeking sunlight to promote the production of endogenous vitamin D[1]:

> The skin can produce only a limited amount of vitamin D at one time. Once the body has reached this limit, spending more time in the sun will not continue to increase vitamin D levels. However, continued time in the sun will increase your skin cancer risk. There is no known level of UV exposure that would increase vitamin D levels without also increasing skin cancer risk. Vitamin D can be obtained safely through food and dietary supplements without the risks associated with overexposure to UV.

Same thing with the EPA[2]:

> Get Vitamin D safely through a diet that includes vitamin supplements and foods fortified with Vitamin D. Don't seek the sun.

Yes, probably, thanks. Never worked with coach. Are there any services similar to those, where one can find therapist, but for searching coaches?
Yes, that's true. But if the concern is build-times, exposing the data layout is harmless. We don't necessarily need full PIMPL just to get improved build times. By keeping the data layout in the .hpp, you can guarantee that your class can still stack-allocate.

Wow,

I find this funny because through the 50-70's letting kids sleep outside for a nap in the day time was normal in Scandinavian countries.

I remember the 1980's photo of kids getting a solar bath in some Hoth like area of Russia in the winter.

I like this study because it's starting to add "Sensible sun exposure" into the mix. I suspect that we're going to add "physical activity" to that next.

I dunno how you SWE's are doing it, but I have my ChatGPT output files and if multi, zip files, not code snippets (unless I want a code snippet), and then I re-upload those files to new session using the attach thinger. Also, in my experience just building marketing websites, I don't do step 3, I just do step 1 and 2 over and over in new sessions, it's longer because you have to figure out a flow through a bunch of work sessions, but it's faster because it makes wwwwaaaaayyyyyyy fewer mistakes. (You're basically just shaking off any additional context the GPT has at all about what you are doing when you put it in a brand-new session, so it can be more focused on the task, I guess?)
Not only marketing but also the worst engineering, testing, design, accessibility ... budgets.

Financing open-source projects is hard because anybody can take them and build stuff on top of them to sell at a way higher margin (or they are restrictive i.e. AGPL so nobody builds anything on top of them)

Only well-financed major open source projects are the ones that existed at critical points of time where no strong proprietary alternative with abundant features existed (e.g. Linux kernel, GCC, Apache Web Server) or the ones that are created by major companies as part of their infrastructure and released as a way to shape markets (e.g. Kubernetes, Chromium, PyTorch, React, .NET Core) for the worse or the better.
As someone who has repeatedly had to deal with Unicode nonsense; I wholeheartedly agree. Also, you don’t need accents. You just need to know how to read and have context. See: live and live, read and read, etc.
I mean, i just tested this prompted, and have no clue what side is correct lol?

How many frogs does a horse have?

Oh it appears
Model B: gpt2-chatbot

is correct?

A horse has one frog in each of its hooves, making a total of four frogs. The frog is a part of the horse's hoof, located on the underside. It is a V-shaped structure that helps to absorb shock, provides traction, and aids in the circulation of blood through the hoof. The health and shape of the frog are important for the overall well-being of the horse's feet.

The Americans : espionage :: The Sopranos : organized crime.

The Sopranos was not especially realistic. But realism wasn't the point; there was just enough verisimilitude to serve the narrative, which was a kind of morality play. It's the same with The Americans, which is at bottom more of a relationship story than one about espionage. (We agree, I think.)

A lot of research went into the show, but it shows up in the same ways research shows up in Mad Men.

Don't watch it expecting to learn a bunch of stuff! That's not the point.

I have had psoriasis for over 30 years now. The only consistent thing that makes it go into regression is getting a lot of sun in the late spring / summer. Unfortunately I live in a northern state, so over half of the year I do not get UVB from the sun and my psoriasis starts coming back in the mid-late fall. I have tried Vitamin D supplements but they don't seem to work for me. Even at high dosages.
