That’s a lot of words with no proof isn’t it, it’s just your theory. Until I see a well designed study on such things I struggle to believe the conjecture you make either way. It could be quite possible that you benefit from Slack and I don’t.

Even receiving a message and not responding can be disruptive and on top I’d say being offline or ignoring messages is impossible in most companies.

> How can Slack guarantee that the model won't incorporate proprietary insights on sourcing the best foobar producers into its choice of the next token?

This is explained literally in the next sentence after the one you quoted: "We protect data privacy by using rules to score the similarity between the typed text and suggestion in various ways, including only using the numerical scores and counts of past interactions in the algorithm."

If all the global model sees is {similarity: 0.93, past_interactions: 6, recommendation_accepted: true} then there is no way to leak tokens, because not only are the tokens not part of the output, they're not even part of the input. But such a simple model could still be very useful for sorting the best autocomplete result to the top.
It's an approximation, not an estimation.
I've never tested it, but you may be right. On the other hand a pen is smaller, and you can draw and doodle with it.
First: It will probably take a while... like many, many years... until AI and robotics will be able to replace human workforce. We have "digital tools" on our hands since 30 years, still governments suffer from manual processes. Most of the noise currently coming from this scene is hot air and buzzword bingo. Although the technology is improving very fast, this does not mean that we can adapt our work processes to this new technology in the same pace.

Second: If AI and robotics finally take over, this isn't a bad thing. Of course we need to adapt our rules and lives, like introducing a "robot tax" or the "basic income", to keep the economy flowing. But why is this bad? Sure, the transition will be hard, but this inevitable.

Why is everyone so mad about AI generating art or providing entertainment? You can still create art, if you like to be an artist. You can still entertain, if you want to be an entertainer. Let AI do the work to keep the world rolling and do what you want - in your free time, 24 hours a day.

It is not a westinghouse reactor. Westinghouse doesnt and has never produced Boiling Water Reactors afaik. They mostly do Pressurized Water Reactors.

And while Fukushima and Zwentendorf had the same type of reactor (Boiling Water Reactor), it was not the same modell or from the same vendor. Fukushimas reactor was made by General Electrics. Zwentendorfs reactor was made by the German Kraftwerk Union.
What a strange argument that seems to romanticise this "border" called "the law".

It is black and white: someone is defacing something that doesn't belong to them. You can call the result whatever you want ("art","expression" etc) but the fundamental issue doesn't change.

Would you be happy to wake up and see your car covered in paint? What about the windows on your house? Would you see this as an "improvement" too?
This type of forgery is becoming quite common.

I participate in a community that has some historical literature, where early editions of our literature fetch fairly significant premiums. It’s a relatively obscure community, so there’s a pretty limited market.

There are some extremely well-done forgeries. I am told they come from China, but I suspect the means to make them, are available in many venues.

I heard a story about a guy that purchased a Winchester rifle from an estate auction. It was one of those old western-style guns, with the repeater action. As an original, it was worth a great deal.

He took it to an expert, who almost immediately declared it a forgery. He said it was mainly because it was in too good a shape. It was supposed to be over 150 years old, and looked like it was only ten years old.

I have also heard, from a watchmaker I knew, that Rolex forgeries are so good, that even seasoned watchmakers are fooled, and the only way to tell, is to open the watch.
I mean I appreciate the effort put into it and to the untrained eye this looks good enough for e.g. movie props. I wonder if the creator is just a professional scammer or works in the movie / reproduction industry?
What Do You Do When A.I. Takes Your Voice?
A few remarks:

* Syntactic sugar for nested loops is welcome!

* I would have preferred a comparison with https://github.com/Shinmera/for/, as it's nearer in concept than loop/iterate.

* Eschewing collection is a mistake in my opinion. Yes, you can do your own with (let ((ret)) (for ... (push it ret)) (nreverse ret)), but it'll be verbose.

As other said, it's a very Scheme-y vision of looping, which has simplicity/purity/explicitness advantages but lacks in pragmatism. Personally, I firmly stay in the iterate team, even with its issues.
Someone else added this as an issue! We're happy to take a look at it. To gage interest please upvote it :)

Most of the time this is a black and white matter.
In Grenfel, the building itself won't have been particularly combustible in the first instance, but the cladding - being plastic most certainly was.

Add to that the lack sprinklers, and a council that is not sympathetic to the residents there and we got a disaster.

It was a confluence of indifference by the council to residents calls to sort out sprinklers and firedoors, pandering to richer residents of Kensington: the cladding only went on to make richer residents view better.

Add on faming of results about how fire worthy the cladding was by the people selling it, and it being badly fitted so fire could travel up the building underneath it.

And then after this tragedy, how little was done in its wake.
This is pretty ironic to read on a forum called "Hacker" News, which also originated as a counter-culture that considered itself creative but was regarded as criminal by the general public.
> Have you seen any Banksy? Do you consider his work graffiti?

Yes and yes. Overhyped "I'm 14 and this is deep" energy.

Well, nobody forces you to use the setters/getters pattern. For internal implementation, you could access everything directly. For example, Zig encourages this style of programming.

In my experience in Rust, the use of getters and setters is less common compared to some other languages like Java.
Experienced the same on Android with Chrome.
Except that L2 cache is also SRAM. In fact, usually all RAM inside the CPU is SRAM, because the process for making DRAM is not very compatible with the process for making SRAM and the rest of the CPU. We are only just recently been seeing devices which merge DRAM and a CPU into one package, but internally it is still on different chips (for example, the Apple M1 processor).
The tower itself is concrete, so the building itself wasn't the problem.

Lack of maintenance or fitting of sprinklers and firedoors was: the residents had been asking for a while, but Kensington council cares more for its richer residents, so instead what happened was plastic cladding was fitted to make the richer residents not have to have an old tower block spoil their view.

> I think it might be interesting to develop Rust-as-first-language teaching materials, but that's not what this is. Move assignment as your primary assignment semantic, borrowing as your metaphor rather than introducing the confusing idea of "addresses" (in Rust many things we can borrow don't have a meaningful address, but it's fine) and so on.

I found that when learning Rust, it approximated the mental model that I had already developed for programming. Move semantics and such just felt right. I had used around 10–15 other programming languages by then, but none were even remotely Rust-like.

I don't know why this is. It can't be that Rust is the objectively or even subjectively right way to think about programming. It has to be that its concepts were simply already intuitive to me, but I wonder why that is, when so many people struggle.

Perhaps it's because of neurodivergence, maybe the language just matches the way I think in general and that's why it made sense so quickly. I'd probably make a terrible teacher, because I just do not understand the struggles people have with Rust, and I can't just teach someone to think the same way I do.

Maybe when existing Rust users try to write material for new developers, they write in a way that, for lack of a better way of wording it, is only really accessible to their own neurotype. In other words, it doesn't really help the people that genuinely struggle with Rust's way of thinking, it primarily helps people who already have this way of thinking.
> Apple mandated the changes to Tumblr that pissed everyone off.

That's not true - Tumblr already had their "no adult content" plans in place well before the CSAM problem caused Apple to temporarily suspend them from the app store. That suspension just brought the plans forward by 6 months in a panic rush.

Also, as cool as it is, I don't think it would have been worth 3000DEM in 2001. Adjusted for inflation it's worth almost 3000 of today's USD.

That was just a month after the release of the original iPod, that eventually brought back Apple to relevancy. Apple was still the small competitor that Microsoft kept alive to avoid more problems in their anti-trust lawsuit.
I also came back to B&W because I’ve noticed that with structural editing I think more in terms of s-expressions than parentheses and distinguishing them isn’t that much of a problem anymore.
Still very different things, no?
There's something called "machine unlearning" being worked on to address these issues.

This doesn't mean that I support Slack or any opt-in without consent training model. On the contrary. I don't have any OpenAI/Midjourney/etc. account, and don't plan to have one.
I don't know how much gas they actually sold at the time, but some major oil/gas pipelines were built during the 1960s, 1970s and early 80s. So the intention was clearly there.

Worth noting: This is a legal requirement in Europe

The GDPR mandates that consent is given affirmatively, with this kind of "oh we put it in the EULA nobody reads" being explicitly called out as non-compliant.
If you read the details in some of the "correct" answers[1], they are not actually correct. The model used an assumption that the width is equal to the thickness, which is not given in the problem. The width is cancelled out in the end, so the resulting number is correct, but a math teacher would label such answers wrong.

The pharaos were indeed worshipped as literal gods. Echnaton famously negated them all except for the sun and himself as the incarnation, but after his death all was restored to the normal system of polytheistic theoraty. The sungod Ra was still important, but not the most important. It was a complicated system and very different from our modern thinking.

I Might Stop Programming, Even Though I Love It
To be a tech hub, you need:

- top-tier universities
- a history of successful knowledge transfer projects between the academia and the industry
- access to capital (so you need to cater to these VC types and offer them something they want)
- have a well-connected airport nearby
- have some interesting people already living there (not necessarily tech-minded)
- be reasonably pro-immigration

Boston, NYC and DC, if somehow merged into one city, could fit the bill. None of them by their own can. And nobody else except Bay area, of course.
I really hate having to run my front end code through a compiler.

It didn’t used to be that way.
That's easy:

Was the graffiti made with approval of the owner of the building? Does it fit general aesthetics of the city? Yes and yes - it's finally some colors. Otherwise it's a vandalism.

If it's a public building - it's vandalism, unless it was decided by all people living there.

> As an art person I really see truly good graffiti, yet I have to notice that heavily graffitied parts of my city are tourist magnets — so many people tend to like those "defaced" walls.

Yeah, way to make life hell for residents of the neighborhood.
Ahahaha, good point. I completely forgot that that film existed. Wonder why? /s
Uh, what? You realize the problem with electric blowers is that they don't have enough power for commercial use compared to gas blowers, so your suggestion is to use a rake?
I think the analysis relies on independent random "u"s, even for the same key.
Me too.

I am vi mode everywhere so I couldn't quite make the switch on the bindings but I loved the ideas in Helix. Truly a great project.
Your idea also comes with no proof, just your personal experience.
None of that is what we are talking about. The question is, why is there a small L1, medium L2 and a large L3? Why not just have it all be L1?

And cost plays no role in those decisions. Making the L1 or L2 larger would make them too slow. Only the size of L3 is limited by cost.
How to read C type declarations (2003)
I skimmed through a few sections in which my rust knowledge is basic at best (threads). Really enjoy the no-nonsense, not-a-word-wasted style.

My first thought after spending 30 minutes with this that it could easily become my new no. 1 recommendation for rust onboarding, toppling the zero2prod book.

Then I figured out why this felt familiar, it's from the same author :D

Will definitely dive into it this weekend.
I thought The Book was an Erdos thing. I wonder who used it first.
Whoever reads this without knowledge will think voting rights have something to do with dividends and you keep making this wrong assertion.

So as a warning to whoever reads this, do a search for "dual class stocks", and see how many companies sell stock without voting rights as % of any index. Then see how many don't issue dividends. You'll see it's a completely separate subject.
> "minorities are more likely to live in areas where new highways would normally be built".

This has to be the most cynical and cruel sentence I have read today. If your system mandates uprooting people's lives then its just not a good system, is it? If your normal is to disrupt people who are already downtrodden then its a bad cruel system even in isolation.

Show HN: Promptma AI – A better UX to use Together AI for prompt engineering
Hi HN!

I'm Andy, and I’ve been working on Promptma AI (https://promptma.ai), a tool that enhances the prompt engineering experience when using Together AI. Please use desktop version for now. There are 4 major features:

1. Prompt History
2. Prompt Engineering with Parameters
3. Result and Cost Comparison
4. Template Boilerplate

While developing Copsule (https://www.copsule.com), a video summarization tool, my team and I ran into several challenges with prompt engineering. We needed to test different prompts and models to optimize results and manage costs. We tried using Together AI, but found it lacked some key features like prompt history, parameter adjustments, and the ability to compare different prompt results and costs directly.

To make this process easier, we created Promptma, which builds on top of Together AI with the features mentioned above.

We built Promptma to streamline the prompt engineering process, making it more efficient and cost-effective.

I’d love for you all to try it out and share your thoughts. Your feedback would be incredibly valuable as this is a self-funded project.

Thanks!
There is also Angra III in Brasil which has a similar history but with completely different outcome. The plant was bought from Germany in 1985 and then stored for a quarter of a century. Some parts were kept in nitrogen to prevent corrosion.

But contrary to Zwentendorf and Kalkar the project was rebooted (in several attempts) and is currently scheduled to be finished in 2028.

The early nuclear power plants were all individually designed and custom built, before commercial power plants were standardized. The German standard plants are called Konvoi and the individual builds Pre-Konvoi.

Currently Angra II is the only Pre-Konvoi plant still in operation in the whole world. If Angra III goes online, it will be a quarter of a century after the last Pre-Konvoi plant (Angra II) and more than half a century after all the others.

"We protect privacy while doing so by separating our model from Customer Data. We use external models (not trained on Slack messages) to evaluate topic similarity, outputting numerical scores. Our global model only makes recommendations based on these numerical scores and non-Customer Data."

I think this deserves more attention. For many tasks like contextual recommendations, you can get most of the way by using an off-the-shelf model, but then you get a floating-point output and need to translate it into a binary "show this to the user, yes or no?" decision. That could be a simple thresholding model "score > θ", but that single parameter still needs to be trained somehow.

I wonder how many trainable parameters people objecting to Slack's training policy would be willing to accept.
I know a bit about the situation in Geneva, and I can confirm that paid UN agency internship seems to be rare.

We usually implement queueing on the route to those specific things that are vulnarable. If you can not discern what traffic does what, you just need move the rate limiter close to the application or the problem hot spot. It's perfectly valid to give a HTTPS response 429 from a backend and let your frontend handle that in some graceful way. The same is valid as an exception in code, the nearer the problem spot you get the harder it is to get right.

EDIT clarification.
While Slack emphasizes that customers own their data, the default of Customer Data being used to train AI/ML models (even if aggregated and disassociated) may not align with all customers' expectations of data ownership and control.
Okay... so now you can aim for the bigger bucks and be a manager.

The problem is not technical, but social with these platforms.

i.e. How do you convince 40+ people from 5 countries to add yet another memory resident chat application and fragment their knowledge to another app/mental space?

This gets way harder as the community becomes more dynamic and temporary (i.e. high circulation like students). I gave the good fight last year with someone, and they just didn't flex a nanometer citing ergonomics of Slack is way better than alternatives, and didn't care about data mining (was a possibility back then) or keeping older messages at ransom.
They have trouble supporting their family after Covid19 happened and they lost their job. Please have some empathy.
The first is about the statistical notion of average. If knowledge about X country's affairs goes from 1 to 10, the average score of journalists covering it will be quite higher than the average score of the general population (who usually can't even pinpoint the country on a map).

So that journalists writing about X country will have better knowledge on those matters than the average person's knowledge is true.

The second is about whether a journalist writing about country X is expected to know better than any ordinary person (who isn't a journalist). This is not necessary true.

There are laymen that have vast more/better knowledge of country X (history/global affairs enthusiasts, expats that lived and worked there, and especially immigrants from X) than many such journalists.

In other worlds, journalists are not like scholarly experts on a subject, where their knowledge by definition trumps both the average person's knowledge (an aggregate figure), and aany layman.

They're more like knowledgable in those matters, but whose knowledge can easily be trumped by many better informed laymen, especially laymen with ties to the country that understand the situation on the ground and the background much better.
