You're right, and I agree vehemently about the poor quality as well as if you're planning on taking a big swing, better to start with an app.

Bizarrely, my 5 year plan was exactly what they did, but step 1 is release a cross-platform app and get it reliable as possible while waiting for an AI level up.

Releasing an app, especially when they're trying to get ahead of the game and are staffed and funded to do so, would beg the question "Why do just an app? It's the same as ChatGPT, which is free."

The reviews are bad, they're certainly not on the precipice of selling a million units. but they had a ton of preorders and the strategy worked, they're in the conversation, names out there, and they'll be forever associated with AI hardware. A GPT wrapper app with the same level of coverage would get the same general reaction we're seeing now. A GPT wrapper app with the coverage a wrapper app gets would get much less attention.

yes it was def a thing. Lots of people i know had ( and still have) 2 or 3 jobs at the same time.

True - it would be a good idea to use a Tenniel piece instead.

Edit to add: I was mostly trying to push back on the implication that Disney owns Alice in Wonderland (and Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, etc). Now I re-read the original comment, they did specify "Disney-based", so maybe I'm over-reacting!
People are complaining about "high inflation" and I'm thinking today inflation is finally back to normal. I was around in the 70's. Back then people would have considered the inflation we have today as an answer to their prayers!

That just goes to show perspective is everything!
Anyone remember the title of the short where they explore an ancient martian city and find a periodic table that serves as a Rosetta stone?
It’s not the same is what I’m saying. Google Translate was never good. GPT is literally perfect translation.
I do agree there's a certain level of variability in the possibilities of what actually happened with the facts given so far. I'd really like to see a video recording of what happened so we can actually judge the possible reaction time for the Ford driver. I totally acknowledge its possible there was many seconds between the observer car leaving the lane and the Ford colliding; it is a pretty straight stretch of road so the observer could have seen the car for a bit. Within the unknowns of this incident, it is possible a human without ADAS systems in use here could have responded better. But to me, with what I'm reading about it and my past experiences of watching drivers on Texas highways hitting stopped cars in broad daylight, I imagine a lot of humans would have hit the car in a lot of the possible scenarios.

I would suggest you put pricing on a separate page. Was about to leave and then only realised i had to scroll all the way down to find it.

Other than that looks nice, though i do feel like I should say that I'm not your target audience since I've already rolled my own invoicing system.
Thank you very much for the advice!

I agree with your points, and I'll update my CV to reflect those changes. I knew the CV was likely the weak point but I just wasn't sure in what ways to change it, so your advice gives me hope.
It's still an asset, and it's still becoming a monopoly. Nothing has really changed except the team
Yeah, it should probably be generally illegal to record past your property line.
Ask HN: (India) How to report Airtel giving location information w/o formal proc
So, a year ago, January 2023, (sorry I'm late I know), an abusive relative of mine (not a police officer) got my location from a person (who apparently was a police officer).

I have the following details:

1) Name and phone number of the said police officer.

2) Name and phone number of my relative, with the information shared between these phone numbers on WhatsApp

3) Date of the information shared +-1 day.

I have a strong reason to suspect that the same information was again shared within the last 2-3 days between the same people but I might be wrong.

I am reasonably sure that there was no formal warrant and this information was shared casually by Airtel with the said police officer.

Question
--

Is there some way to get law enforcement to catch up with them? Is there anyone here among us who can help? The said people are in Rajasthan. Ideally I'd like this information sharing to be very formal and warrant-required for all citizens but for now I'll be happy if I can get these two people sent in.

> Auto sensing wipers that never actually sense when it’s raining

I've never had auto sensing wipers, and am curious. Do they actually make enough of a difference to be worth the added hardware?

The manual wipers with controls on one of the steering column stalks in my car are so little effort to use that I usually am not even aware of it. I see rain on the windshield and then I see the wipers deal with it and have to infer that I must have started them because that is much more likely than someone surreptitiously install an after-market automatic wiper system.
> I'd be curious to hear how people are using this stuff for meaningful work.

I use it for coding all the time. All day everyday. I don't know about 'fewer people' claim though
> most language do fine

No, they don't. Most languages turn dealing with code formatting, into an externality foisted upon either:

• the release managers (who have to set up automation to enforce a house style — but first have to resolve interminable arguments about what the given project's house style should be, which creates a disincentive to doing this automation); or

• the people reviewing code in the language.

In most languages, in a repo without formatting automation, reviewers are often passed these stupid messy PRs that intermingle actual semantic changes, with (often tons of) random formatting touch-ups — usually on just the files touched by the submitter's IDE.

There's a constant chant by code reviewers to "submit formatting fixes as their own PR if there are any needed" — but nobody ever does it.

Golang 1. fixes in place a single "house style", removing the speedbump in the way of automating formatting; and 2. pushes the costs of formatting back to the developer, by making most major formatting problems (e.g. unneeded imports) into compile-time errors — and also, building a formatter into the toolchain where it can be relied upon to be present and so used in pre-commit hooks, guaranteeing that the code in the repo never gets out of sync with proper formatting.

"Getting in the way of the users" is the right thing to do, when "the users" (developers) fan in 1000:1 with code reviewers and release managers, who have to handle any sloppiness they produce.

(Coincidentally, this is analogous to other Google thinking about scaling compute tasks. Paraphrasing: "don't push CPU-bottlenecked workloads from O(N) mostly-idle clients, out to O(log N) servers. Especially if the clients are just going to sit there waiting for the servers' response. Get as much of the compute done on the clients as possible; there's not only far more capacity there, but blocking on the client blocks only the person doing the heavy task, rather than creating a QoS problem." Also known as: "the best 'build server' is your own workstation. We gave you a machine with an i9 in it for a reason!")
With ChatGPT 3.5, new chats prompted with: "Simulate a dice roll and report the number resulting from the roll. Only reply 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 and nothing else."

This sounds a lot like a Keynesian Beauty Contest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_beauty_contest), where you are trying to make a selection based on what you think other people are going to choose.

If I really wanted to give an accurate answer in this case, I would probably choose some arbitrary source of a number (like my age or the number of days that have gone by so far this year), figure out the modulo 5 of that number, then say 'Right' if the modulo is 0, and 'Left' otherwise.

Obviously there are some flaws in this approach, but I think it would be as accurate as I could get.
One factor that I think the article glosses over is the geographic distribution of crime. It briefly mentions some variations by state, but does not talk at all about variation by local area. It briefly mentions that the FBI says population density and economic conditions can affect crime rates, but gives no data.

> As relevant to HN, K-12 schools are making coding increasingly mandatory, so that skillset is less and less exclusive.

The majority of those people have neither the ability nor the inclination to build software. The idea that everyone will write code in the future is a fantasy pushed by the business bobbleheads who want any excuse to pay less for engineering talent.

This is a novel argument. Now it's not: "If you don't want to be tracked, don't have 10+ apps on your phone that will track you." It's become: "Well, you probably have 10+ apps on your phone that track you, why would you care about any other violation of your personal space or privacy?"

The pretense of volition has been completely removed. You will not be allowed to participate in the modern world unless you give up some of your privacy; and if you give up some of your privacy in order to participate in the modern world, you aren't allowed to complain about giving up the rest of your privacy for any reason at all. If you really cared about privacy, you'd stop working, stop living in a building, stop paying taxes, stop living in a city, stop driving, stop walking down the sidewalk, keep your face covered, keep your mouth shut, and die in a ditch.

Um... isn't "attempt to influence the US government in ways beneficial to us" part of the regular job for EVERY other nation's intelligence/security/foreign relations agencies? Whether or not said nation has ever had a single Jewish citizen.

Would it also be very offensive to suggest that the Israeli Ministry of Education is secretly conspiring to make sure that Israeli school children learn how to multiply and divide fractions?
No, this is phase 2 of what every SV business[*] looks like these days. Once the initial growth period is over in whatever the business is actually good at, you need to pivot into some new nonsense (AI these days) because the business is chasing infinite growth. That leads to this kind of flailing around trying desperately to hit another bullseye, instead of focusing on what the business already does well.

[*] and more and more all the rest of them as well.

> We also have AI based efficiency boosting tools and greater offshoring to contend with

I think that AI is parroted around but there is little to no substance to the claims.

Some activities can and will be impacted by generative AI, but if you are not a copywriter or a graphics artist then your work is not significantly impacted by the current blend of commercial AI services.

Software engineering is a particularly popular target for these baseless claims, as if the critical path of each coding task is writing code. It isn't. In fact, I'm yet to see a single concrete claim on how generative AI impacts productivity beyond filling in boilerplate code and acting as a glorified template engine, and this assumes AI produces code that work which more often than not fails to do.

More importantly, implementing business services to automate business processes has a more direct impact on eliminating jobs. Things like opening an online store instead a brick and mortar shop eliminates the need for a bunch of positions. Nothing AI does comes even close to have that impact. But we still have brick and mortar shops.

It's also important to note that some software engineering positions didn't even existed a couple of decades ago, and they are high paying jobs. A couple of decades ago mobile development wasn't even a field, and right now it's absolutely clear that iOS developer and Android developer are entirely separate specializations.

The xz linkage was indirect through a systemd library that some systemd systems link into sshd.
There's a small, CD sized version of the LaserDisc called CD Video (also a related format called Video Single Disc). I've always wondered whether it would be possible to use CD-Rs to make one. Could CD burners somehow be coaxed to write the analog data for the video? It can only fit 5 minutes of video but I think vaporwave artists would love it, and it could keep the format 'alive' with the first new content in decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Single_Disc
I wonder if you could actually fine tune an LLM to do better on this. As some of the comments point out, the issue here is that the possible output probabilities combined with the model temperature don't actually result in the probabilities requested in the prompt. If you trained on specific generated data with real distributions would it learn to compensate appropriately? Would that carry over to novel probability prompts?
Tristate is used in things like radio where you are covering 3 states. "Here is the news/weather in the tristate area". They mean specifically the 3 states that the radio signal reaches, which is clear to everyone. Since they reach 3 states there is no other name that can be used for their coverage area. The people in question regularly cross state lines.

It isn't a useful concept to bring up when you are not physically in a tri-state area.
