Maybe the author is just figuring things out, but for many nothing in the article is new.

It walks on top of well trodden planks built by many others.

The title is misleading (there's been plenty of telling) and worse it's a lame knock off tabloid headline where the grift is to imply you're a dupe and they're helping you by giving you access "to the one thing they hat" or any headline that traffics in they v. you where they withhold vital info.

> This is already included in the "almost anything" expression and you are the 4th person deliberately (or accidentally?) not noticing it.

I genuinely think that :

1/ this field is dominated by a disproportionate amount of people with autistic traits

2/ their ability to reason only functions in the narrowest sense and their grasp of language (takes everything in the most literal sense, thinks in extremes, prone to putting things in boxes, have a very, very strong attachment to their routine and are unable to ever leave the comfort zone they constructed) makes any attempt at communication beyond painful.

I have come to not even bother replying to people who are unable to understand human words such as when they interpret "most" as meaning "all" or "rarely" as "never" as it's one of the telltale signs that it is going to be extremely unproductive.

This phenomenon is the cause of most pains and drama. Once you start to see how this pattern develops you understand the true cause of the endless bikeshedding, of why even the idea of having a code of conduct can raise endless anger and storms and so on. You're touching a comfort zone so the temper tantrums are thrown. The routine has been built and it must continue until the end of times.

If there's any field in this world that is in need of more neurotypical, emotionally stable adults, this is it.
I find WebGL driveby risk and fingerprinting risks remote and hard to compare. To wit, I've never experienced a recognized loss from any kind of drive-by or fingerprinting attack.

However the severity of drive-by risk is so high, just in theory, that I am tempted to dismiss the risk of fingerprinting. But my reasoning is not very well informed.

What principles and information sources do you use when deciding that avoiding fingerprinting is more important than avoiding WebGL drivebys?

Seeing as this is a topic where the discussion often derails into a flame war, I thought I'd leave a comment to clarify some things. Please try to avoid interpreting other comments in the worst sense, most people come from a place of good intentions.

While I cannot speak to the specifics of Ireland and Spain, I suspect their position is quite similar to Norway. Norway recognizes Palestine's right to exist based on the borders from before the 4th of June 1967. Even though Hamas controls the Gaza strip today, Norway is not recognizing Hamas as the goverment of Palestine, or is in any way rewarding them for the terror attacks they committed on the 7th of October last year. Currently it is Mahmoud Abbas, the party leader of al Fatah, who is recognized as the president of the palestinian people. Most countries refer to the Palestinian Authority when talking about Palestine and its future.

For a long time, the promise of recognition as reward for a lasting peace has been the strategy used by Norway, but now a Palestinian state is seen as a prerequisite for peace in the Middle East. Prime minister Støre says, among other things, the following about the recognition of Palestine as a state:

>When we recognize Palestine, we can more strongly encourage other countries to support the building of a Palestinian state and we can hold the Palestinian state accountable

>Recognizing a state is not about giving the green light to every policy a state pursues. We will not support a state that uses violence. The Palestinians must see that there is another hope than the path of violence.

That's what I'm curious about. Are advertisers insisting that brand safety is hyper-important and businesses are going along (or starting to believe it after enough repetition)? Or are businesses independently bringing that constraint to advertisers? If the latter, why do businesses believe that--is it based in evidence of bottom-line risk to the business (customers will leave in proportion to brand-safety-compromising ad misplacement), or is it a more subjective combination of risk aversion and distaste for brand-unsafe content?
It infuriates me that exact match searches don't work anymore. I understand that for the average person/average query, the modern google results are better (with info boxes, AI type stuff going on), but please let me type in "I want this exact phrase, including punctuation!".

That was me, I'll admit it.

I can only talk about professional visual effects (VFX) software like Maya and Nuke.

Let's just say I've seen their (internal) bug trackers.

TLDR; you couldn't be more wrong.

When OSS software has bugs, at least someone with an interest in the issue and the skills can do something about it.

For closed source software nobody can. Even the people working at the resp. company who are developers rarely or never decide about priorities.

And as an added hurdle, adding features always has higher priority as it drives sales.

What is necessary to be a vim user?
Why? Why is it inevitable that the AI world must do LLMs, must steal all of culture without recompense, and must deride human ability in order to defend the limitations of the replacement technology?

Answer is: it’s not. To all three. And collectively we can decide to be better. This is why artists are pushing back. One day perhaps the tech world will understand that they aren’t Luddites but instead champions for humanity.
Wish these services could be run locally. I'd even pay for it. For people at companies uploading a clip of something internal for a slide deck to a 3rd party is a non-starter.
I developed a manga translation extension！
Hi HN,

I am a developer with over 10 years of experience in operations, but I've always had a passion for creating small tools in my spare time. Recently, I stumbled upon the vibrant community of manga enthusiasts and noticed a significant demand for seamless translation between different languages.
https://www.mangatranslator.cc

Motivated by this discovery, I dedicated a month to developing a plugin specifically designed to address this need. This tool allows users to translate manga effortlessly, bridging language barriers and making manga more accessible to a global audience.

I'm excited to share my work with you and would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for your support!

I wasn't the one to downvote you for reference, but to be clear, moving out and abandoning my partner and country so I can put together a half-baked MVP and give away equity for that hard work isn't what I, nor anyone else on this forum I suspect, would consider a good trade. I assume others are downvoting you because your comment sounds like you're running a scam operation.

If you want to conflate running away from responsibilities and joining a frat house as something that helps entrepreneurs, then you do. I would suggest looking at actual start-up incubators' work (Entrepreneur First and the like). Paying salaries and covering start-up costs, not just providing basic living expenses. What you're describing might as well be indentured servitude.

But I'm not saying it's a bad idea; just that I'm probably not one to use it.

Your "my life in weeks" page is just lovely. I teared up from the tenderness of it.

That is such a great idea. I have been toying with the idea of writing a memoir, but I haven't started because it seems so daunting of a task. This, on the other hand, is constrained, but still leaves a lot of room for creativity.
> It feels like you left a chapter or two out.

I agree with you. More details will come out over time but I wanted to keep yesterday's paper a single page.

> You mention in the citations that "Hierarchies are painless in our system through nested parsers, parser inheritance, parser mixins, and nested measurements." Nothing else in the article gives any hint as to what those things are or how your system implements them except nested measurements. It's unclear at all what a parser is in your system.

Below is a link to a web IDE we built. You can see parsers (on the left), and concepts (on the right). Nested parsers and parser inheritance are demonstrated. Mixins is not currently in that branch yet. Ignore the "cells" stuff at top (that turned out to be an unneeded division between lines parsers and word parsers).

> Overall it seems like your ideas would make more sense if you used more widely adopted language to describe it. "Concepts" are records, "measurements" are fields.

Yes, concepts often map to records or rows. Measures to fields or columns. Measurements to the cells in a spreadsheet.

There are reasons for my terminology, that should become clearer over time.

"What was new was that the stories had been taken from legitimate news outlets and modified using large language models, most likely one built by Openai"

Huh? What is the evidence for this claim? I assumed they used an open weights model to avoid a distracting adversarial cat and mouse game against OpenAI.
None of the claims in the paper are hyperbolic, they happened.

An experiment to find something out isn't hyperbolic even when the result is "hahah no". A requirement for the concept of a test is more than one possible answer.

Paying attention to potential risks before you have had a chance to evaluate them, is exactly what people demand whenever a group fails to do so and finds out there was a risk by causing harm.

Or have you never noticed that? "Why didn't the government prevent this attack!" and "Why didn't Facebook realise their software was enabling a genocide!" etc.

Perhaps I was being overly generous by blaming this on memory rather than on reading worse than the very LLM being laughed at.
I do not understand the point of this article.

You did not even tell us what the correct recipe was called. But let's ignore that for now.

I did some googling around, and the Wikipedia article for sartu di riso [0] mentions the fact that "it (the dish) found success in Sicily". Also, in [1] a commenter going by the name of passalamoda mentions that they also make this dish in Sicily. The comment they wrote is in Italy, but Frank Fariello has translated it for us, or if you don't believe him for whatever reason, google translate does a fine job. All of this is to say that associating this dish with Sicily based on the short description you've given, is not far fetched at all.

> I fail to see how an LLM summarizing the material would be an improvement.

I am fairly confident that typing the question you gave ChatGPT, waiting a few seconds for an answer, and then reading it can easily take under a minute. Lets be lenient, and say it takes 5 minutes to also ask a second question and receive the answer. That would still take way way way less time then to find a book, get the book and go through the book to find the correct recipe.

Also, you yourself have given a reason in your article as to why ChatGPT would be an improvement. I will quote it now:

> Most of her time was dealing with the brittleness of the query interface (depending on word matching and source popularity), spam, and locked down sources.

I have already spent way too much time on debunking a random internet article, but I also decided to try to get an answer from ChatGPT. I did that by continuing to ask it questions that a person looking for an answer, not contradictions, would ask. If we make the assumption, that deanputney is correct, and the dish you were looking for is Arancini al Burru, we are able to get an answer from ChatGPT by asking the very simple and natural question shown in [2].

Between commits when I'm still modifying things.

There's plenty of stuff that I have checked by a lint test before commit but is allowed to stick around in the codebase for a while locally as I work.

e.g. if I have a debugging function that I'm adding/removing calls to a lot I'd like to be able to leave the import for it in place until I'm done even if my current step isn't using it.
Something I noticed when I went to copy/paste something off the web page for this comment: at least some of the text on this page is in the form of an SVG?! That just feels gratuitous to me, particularly given how annoying it is to not be able to copy it :/.

It also, hilariously, feels a bit fitting given my actual complaint ;P.

if [ $(echo ${__0_age} '<' 18 | bc -l | sed '/\./ s/\.\{0,1\}0\{1,\}$//') != 0 ];

Look: I appreciate that this is a shell script, and they often aren't "fast", but if I'm writing code in a script and have a comparison it at least might be in some tight loop and the performance different of spawning bc and sed into a subshell is frankly brutal.

if [ "${__0_age}" -lt 18 ]; then
Honestly I see it more as giving some rights back to the common man that these giant tech companies don't feel the need to respect.
The author encourages people to create a /now path for their personal domain (e.g. https://devdaim.me/now) and write about what they're currently doing or working on. The author also built nownownow.com where he aggregates people's /now pages. See https://nownownow.com/about for more info.
"Just for the future, I'd like to have a discussion before introducing highly controversial 'features' like this" is another one.

Wait, is there a genocide in Ukraine? If so, is there one in Gaza?

I can understand answering yes/yes. I can understand answering no/yes, (realistically, Putin doesn't give a damn about language or folk culture as long has he gets the mineral rights), but I can't understand answering yes/no. Yet that's the official position of the anglosphere leadership and their main political rivals too.

What's "democratic values and morals" in practice? To me, it seems that if you sincerely want to change society in any way that redistributes power away from the currently powerful, and the powerful think you have the slightest chance to succeed, then you're as screwed in the democratic west as in any dictatorship. Even if you're perfectly peaceful. Even if all you do is speech and journalism - Julian Assange "won" the right to have his perpetual UK detention extended further a few days ago.

The dictatorships are just more insecure in their power, and thus see more challenges as potentially serious, probably rightly so too.

Nah; Cutting the wires will not even get this plane off the ground. As for the first objection, this crash was exceptional in that the pilots seemed to have been quite skilled to have managed the landing the way they did. This is a very low probability event and luck seemed to have been on their side which will not always be the case. There is always some indeterminacy involved in faking an accident and that cannot be helped. But you can certainly stack the odds in your favour.

This line of thinking is motivated by what has been going on with Boeing crashes, Boeing whistleblowers dying left and right and of course the most recent chopper crash involving the death of the Iranian President and the consequent swirling theories.
That reminds me of the Windows Mobile 6.5 device with built-in GPS receiver, where on the 31st day of the month, the API would actually output the date as the 0th day of the following month. This wouldn't have been a problem, except that we were using that to set the system clock. The devices would reset their clock if allowed to go completely flat, but they didn't have reliable NTP support either. I believe the OS would just ignore our attempt to set the date to an invalid value, leaving it at the system default date.

It was a struggle to get the vendor to even acknowledge the problem, since it would only happen on 7 days out of the year, and usually 60 days apart. (There are only two consecutive months with 31 days, July and August.) It did eventually get fixed.

I seem to recall writing a workaround, but then it being stalled by our customer's Change Control Board.

It's not, really. The claim would be that it's portable, but bash can be a little finicky in that respect.

The documentation didn't mention what version of bash is required, but it'll be something. And plenty of systems will have old versions of bash - especially once you move out of the world of "my laptop" - obviously.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, it makes many times more sense to just learn bash, than to learn this. You likely already know some, and it excels at the jobs it's designed for - which is chiefly to launch processes and pipe output around. Subshells are elegant, even if making sure everything launched by your script is 100% finished before you exit can be a pain.

I doubt Amber fixes that problem in any case.
