Yes, it isn't just voodoo, "properly" labelled file types can carry dangers that "improperly" labelled ones do not. For example, if someone wants you to open a Word document with a bad macro, getting you to open it may be no big deal, but getting someone to "OK, first save it, then navigate to it with Explorer, then change Explorer to 'Show Extensions', then rename it to this, then open it" is likely to either set off some alarm bells, or simply be impossible for the technically-unsophisticated target.

Even if it is the same bytes nominally behind the "improper" and "proper" metadata labels the security profile of the two bits of content can still be very different.

Also, obviously, you'll always be able to get things "through" a filter like this. But the value of raising the bar of the exploit is still quite substantial; the "conversion funnel" for such exploits has a very sharp dropoff at every step, including even the first (most such attempts at an exploit even if delivered would not be unpacked by the target user).

Systems can generally block encrypted archives, though I suspect that many admins end up leaving that "off". I'm not sure it's a huge vector in the real world. My impression is that at the moment the most dangerous emails are the social attacks. Though the technical attacks are still non-trivial, still hit people, and technical folks can underestimate the need for non-technical folks to be protected from them.
My point still stands. How do you augment data for an LLM when you know the context of a page? Do you go through every element and setup the data for an associated label? Do you use div scoping via offset parent through a script to generate associated div (good approach, bad in real-life conditions though)? Do you convert the DOM to JSON or some data structure? That means little because you still don't have context, you'd have to do it by hand every time the layout changes...and you would have to be very specific, which is a separate problem for modeling as layouts are modified. What if the UI can be modified to have different layout types, such as label above, label to side, label below...where this can be dynamically set.

What I am pointing here is, even data modeling is mostly irrelevant unless you want to go through every page/permutation of a page...all the while hoping the layout isn't modified or back to training all over again...which is downtime, and at some point you'll realize its just better to store user created xpath's, as its quicker to update those than retrain.

How do you reason with an LLM without going through any of the above? Automation cannot consistently have downtime for retraining, it's the antithesis for its purpose.

Let's not even get into shadow dom issues.

I am keying on your third bullet point on Github:

"How can you inform a text-only LLM about the page's visual structure?"

My questions suggest a gap in your awesome accomplishment.

Ask HN: How long should MVP take for a complex product?
What am I doing wrong? I could use some advice.

I'd put the complexity on par with something like Figma or modeling software. There is a complex user interface, and a lot of data complexity.
I tried a bare bones approach, but potential customers I spoke with said they want to see a lot more features before they would even consider it. Fair enough, that was my assumption going in because this is an area I've worked in before in a professional capacity (I used to be a software engineer), and fidelity is important.

With that in mind, I made a list of must-have and some good-to-have features based on feedback and discussions.

I've been working on this full time for the past 60 days as of today. I'm maybe 60% done with must-have features, and while building those I found a lot of gaps in my own knowledge so I've been working on figuring things out as well. There are also maybe 20% of the good-to-have features complete.

I'm curious though, is this normal? I spent maybe 20% of the time trying to find folks to join me but after interviewing them I didn't feel comfortable bringing them on.

I read this article https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/i/119122450/in-bb-it-normally-takes-two-years-to-start-feeling-product-market-fit

And it seems for some of these companies similar in complexity to mine (obv. not 1:1) it took years to have a live product, let alone the first customer.

At my current velocity, I think it will take me another 60 days to have a live product to start doing sales/onboarding for pilot customers.

The worst part is half the time I feel like an idiot for doing this, but at the same time I have this burning desire to keep pushing and conquer.

> What is OpenTofu?

>

> OpenTofu is a Terraform fork, created as an initiative of Gruntwork, Spacelift, Harness, Env0, Scalr, and others, in response to HashiCorp’s switch from an open-source license to the BUSL. The initiative has many supporters, all of whom are listed here.

Bitexplorer – open-source P2P information access
Sorry, that sounds awful. I'd prefer non-scrollable but so far have optimized for causing the address bar to retract. Obviously haven't nailed it yet across all devices.
The HBase write-ahead log requires a full pipeline. It speculatively drops hadoop nodes out of the write pipeline. Because of the complexity of the WAL, I don't know anyone who has tried with less. (There are a good number of ways to run HBase with no write-ahead log)

There are people who run HBase with Reed Solomon encoding on the HFiles (the store files). That can get a replication factor below 3. I don't think that Pinterest ever ran an updated enough Hadoop for that to be available.

> You can set replication factor 1 if you want.

You can't, really. HBase will fail to open regions that have files that aren't able to be read. So setting the replication factor to 1, have a single hard drive go out and the table will forever have regions that can't be opened. The name node will have a file that's got lost blocks. HMaster will pass around the region assignment until it sticks failed to open.
VimGPT couples the perception to a specific LLM/agent whereas Tarsier is solely a perception system that you can use for any uni/multi-modal web agent. So it's hard to compare, but you could say that VimGPT's performance probably lies somewhere in the middle of Tarsier's performance distribution (which varies as a function of your specific agent/prompt system).

I don't think there's that big of an advantage for space-based astronomy here, for visible-wavelength light with large pixel scales, and relatively bright (total luminosity) objects. Because it's done in narrowband filters, it's particularly good at erasing sky noise.

I go through a lot of emails and what I love recently is being able to sort by sender - then all the emails from the same person are together and it's easier to skim through ("yup, all these are uneeded except this unusual one")

Annoyingly thunderbird allow but not gmail, so I wanted to use thunderbird. But it doesn't easily allow archive-ing, like GMail does.

Contrived but still easy solution: tag all your inbox you want to go through with two labels SetA and SetB. Open SetA in thunderbird, using `a` to remove emails from SetA as if you archived. Then in GMail, use the search `label:setB - label:SetA` and it gives all the emails you wanted to archive. Archive those and done

> From my experience doing IT in industrial manufacturing, there is a ton of room for them to replace expensive PLCs where they aren't really needed.

From my experience with PLCs, they are hardened and robust to the extreme degree required by the harsh environments in which they are used. Last time I looked, the R Pi was the complete opposite. It can be crashed by just a nearby camera flash, and then leave its SD card corrupt to boot. Fine for hobbyists (apparently). Not fine for industrial applications.
As per the article, this isn't specific to iCloud:

> This could be more innocent than it sounds. Computer data is never actually “deleted” until it’s overwritten with new 1s and 0s — operating systems simply cut off references to it. One user also said they saw a photo return even though they don’t sync their phone or use iCloud, implying the photos could be originating from on-device storage.
Stealing the authentication is arguably way more invasive than this strategy.
This is a clear violation of GDPR. The GDPR emphasizes the right to erasure (Article 17) and data minimization (Article 5). These principles require that personal data be:

* Kept for no longer than necessary
* Deleted upon request or when no longer needed

Both of these conditions are met when someone "deletes" a picture from their device.

This bug basically proved that Apple is non compliant with this and there's no way that EU is going to ignore this big of a violation. If found guilty then they can fine Apple 20 million euros or 4% of global turnover(revenue) which is > $4 billion.

is the failed attempts by Quark Xpress to update their product in the late 90s/early 00s

There were a number of factors here - outsourcing engineering leading to a disastrously buggy 4.0, then failing to move to OS X for years after the market was ready to, hostile and arrogant approach to customers ("where else will they go?") and finally the misbegotten attempt to turn a DTP app into a web design tool. InDesign 1 was fairly clunky, but everyone was desperate to escape.

It's an Amiga-like shambles of mismanagement that wasted an early lead; I am still nostalgic for both tbh.
The issue I've seen when the app itself offers a red filter is if that app calls an OS native widget like a keyboard does not get filtered. The system level accessibility feature does filter the OS widget. I would almost rather the app's setting to just enable the OS filter, but I can understand why that might not be possible.

> has linked list semantics

Nope; it has linked list syntax (that certainly isn't ignored even by very good compilers). Syntax isn't semantics.

The semantics is that a function write-string is called, with a string as its argument.

The second expression has linked list processing in its semantics because you stuck in a cdr, as well as a quote which makes a piece of the program available as run-time list datum. (This is semantics that could be easily optimized away in the executable form, but I would say that it has linked list processing in its abstract semantics.)
It seems that it reduces bad bacteria but has no effect on good bacteria, though I'm not sure if there are enough studies on that to be conclusive.

> They also found the diagnostic procedures for breast cancer was causing the cancer.

I assume you're referring to mammograms. You do get exposed to a significant amount of ionizing radiation in mammography, about 0.4mSv, about 40% of the EPA's annual radiation limit for a member of the public.

That's one of the very good reasons why guidance is women wait until age 45 to get annual screenings and switch to biennial at 55.

At that point the rewards outweigh the risks.

Post-mortem on the attack: https://collective.flashbots.net/t/post-mortem-april-3rd-202...
I would say the complete opposite. The only reason one may have to use a real GPU driver backed by a partitioned GPU is precisely desktop gaming, as there you are more interested in performance than anything else and the arbitrary limits set by your GPU vendor (e.g. 1 partition only) may not impact you at all.

If you want to really divide hardware resources, then as I argue in the other thread doing it in software is clearly a much more sensible way to go. You are not subject to the whims of the GPU vendor and the OS, rather than the firmware, control the partition boundaries. Same as what has been done in practically every other virtualized device (CPUs, memory, etc.). We never expected the hardware to need to partition itself; I'd even have a hard time calling that "virtualization" at all. Plus, the way hardware is designed these days, it is highly unlikely that the PCI virtual functions of a GPU function as an effective security boundary. If it wasn't for performance, using hardware partitioning would never be a worthwhile tradeoff.

Yup, it could! There are a lot of players in the generalist personal web agent space but I personally think that use-case will be eaten by big players since fundamental foundation model improvements are required. That being said, Tarsier is a great place to start for building an open-source web agent for automating cool little tasks.

At Reworkd, we're focused on web agents for data extraction at scale, which isn't as hyped as the generalist agents but we find provides a lot of value and already works pretty well.
This is somewhat tautological, because the AppStore is necessarily filtered down to businesses that can exist within this fee structure.

The cut is 15-30% of revenue, rather than profit, so for lower-margin businesses Apple's cut can be larger than their own profits.

And I care as a user, because developers aren't subsidizing Apple – this fee is ultimately paid by me, and I don't have much choice outside the Google-Apple duopoly.

The first version was 0.54, dated 6 July 1988. The files on the floppies were in various ancient compressed archive formats, but most were readable. I created an archive on a special Perforce server of all the code that I found. Sadly, the earliest Illustrator backups were on a single external disk drive that had gone bad.

The point I’m trying to make is that I’ve been basing all my points on per capita emissions, not overall figures, and that China’s per capita figures are no longer much lower than those of the US and within just a few years at the current rate they will eclipse US figures.

That means that it’s not just about them developing, it’s also about them developing in an extremely emissions-heavy way, to a point where if nothing is done there’s a possibility that before long China will have per capita emissions several times larger than that of the US. Of course, given their population that also means their overall emissions will be huge, but that’s a separate thing.

People experience existential terror from AI because it feels like massive, pervasive, implacable forces that we can't understand or control, with the potential to do great harm to our personal lives and to larger social and political systems, where we have zero power to stop it or avoid it or redirect it. Forces that benefit a few at the expense of the many.

What many of us are actually experiencing is existential terror about capitalism itself, but we don't have the conceptual framework or vocabulary to describe it that way.

It's a cognitive shortcut to look for a definable villain to blame for our fear, and historically that's taken the form of antisemitism, anti-migrant, anti-homeless, even ironically anti-communist, and we see similar corrupted forms of blame in antivax and anti-globalist conspiracy thinking, from both the left and the right.

While there are genuine x-risk hazards from AI, it seems like a lot of the current fear is really a corrupted and misplaced fear of having zero control over the foreboding and implacable forces of capitalism itself.

AI is hypercapitalism and that is terrifying.
