The small mindness.

It's like an 1800s dude thinking aliens would do interstellar travel by having very huge horses, oh no wait...a billion of them (but still somewhat big)

"This is what an advanced race would do...with our current understanding" is an oxymoron
Is there an audio recording of this available?
Vulcan is not yet rated to fly National Security missions (needs at least a second successful launch), yet it already has 60% of these contracts going forward.

Why? Because there is confidence in the company and its ability to deliver based on past performance. It's not rocket science. (Pun not intended :) ...)

Now I need to track my code down. I think I can find open source code from 14 years ago still in use. Unless the product is defunct or all your code is rewritten, I think it's common that code just keeps running.
Like I said, I think the vast majority of the population would find it more natural to have a female or male voice. Also, it's not like everyone in your minority actually cares, I have a few friends who are trans, I doubt they care about the ChatGPT voice. I understand not wanting an overly sexualized voice, but even a male or female voice, I don't get it.
Odin is rather clean and seem to be consistent with the colons.

foo :: proc(x : int, y : int) -> int {
sum : int = x + y
return sum
}

or

foo :: proc(x : int, y : int) -> int {
sum := x + y //
return sum
}
There's no such thing as Art art, it's just an useless elitism.

Following your logic, even photography, cinema, sculpture that is aided by machines and not just scalpels, etc. is not Art art.
It's just not cursive. This is not controversial, there was a huge debate ~15 years ago when cursive instruction was removed from the curriculum in the US.
Maybe it's the only way. Companies that don't have that concentrated power will probably fall apart.
It must be minute quantities -- if any at all. In developing countries in Asia, it is pretty common to eat the whole mango without peeling it first. (Before anyone responds to this comment: Yes, I have personally seen this eating style in many different countries.) Usually, you just cut two pieces: top and bottom, then discard the seed. It also makes it easier to hold the cut fruit with your hands without getting too sticky / dirty.

However, when picking mangoes, you need to be careful about the sap that comes from the broken stem. That will cause a rash, and also disfigure the fruit's skin (which hurts market value). You can Google about it.
I wouldn't imagine this to be a free product. You could set the price point to what you see fits but the idea is you will get traffic easily. If you have a landing page that converts then you shouldn't have a problem monetizing.
If you're including actual announcement then why ignore this portion too?

> Due to our concerns about malicious applications of the technology, we are not releasing the trained model. As an experiment in responsible disclosure, we are instead releasing a much smaller model(opens in a new window) for researchers to experiment with, as well as a technical paper(opens in a new window).

If you note, that's pretty much verbatim to what I said. So no, people don't have defective memories, some people just selectively quote stuff :P

You should actually read the paper associated with it. It's largely a journey in "why would you think that" reading.
No problem, thanks for reading!

Advanced AI evaluations at AISI: May update
It's rather interesting that there is the possibility that you can't actually run a good, for profit streaming service, based on ads. The current iteration of the YouTube recommendation seems to suggest that you have to at least remove the "good" part of the equation. You're also correct in that they squeezed the ad knob, but I fear that they squeezed it to much. YouTube is unusable without ad blocking or YouTube Premium.

The cost of YouTube Music is $11 and YouTube Premium, which include Music is $14. To me that indicates that you can run YouTube for a given user for around $3 - $5 per month. Trying to watch YouTube with ads, the shear amount of ads and the length, could be a sign that ads on YouTube is almost worthless, at least they seem to struggle to get $5 per user per month.

YouTube isn't going to die at the hands of competitors anytime soon though, because the cost will deter anyone interested.
why is this published in the future?
Sounds like a challenge! https://www.handwritingocr.com :)
That's a very engineering way to approach the problem. The issue it runs into is that the question "should we go to mars" isn't a settled matter that leads into the question of "how do we go to mars". The first question is as flexible as the second.

Getting to mars means that the question "can you have babies on mars" now becomes highly emotionally charged, which means the answer to "should you have babies on mars" becomes obvious. Without any pressure, the former question will always be answered by asking the latter.
Yes, but this scenario is a bit different. If you ask a connector factory to custom-make you a connector it's common that they are allowed to add it to their catalogue, though you can of course stipulate something else in the contract.
You'll see this in the electronics markets in Shenzhen for example... they still have a lot of the connectors and switches from MP3 players, which I believe was one of the early boom industries in the region.

the problem is that there's a very real danger in one thing, and on the other hand, the danger is "omg haven't you read this scifi novel or seen this movie?!?!"

Bullets kill people when fired by firearms. I fail to see how LLMs do.
In a separate line of inquiry, this is what I’ve been thinking about wrt fusion lately. Even if the “fusion” part were free, how much would the electricity cost just based on the steam generator turbine part? (More generally, the sum of all the non-fusion parts of a fusion power plant)

Further, if electricity from a fusion plant were effectively free (like it didnt need turbines or something) what would large-scale desalination cost even if it did use truly free energy? This is what I’d be excited for from fusion power, because potable water scarcity is a huge upcoming/ongoing problem in some developing nations with very large populations.
>. The idea of an LLM (with capabilities of e.g. <1 yr away) being given access to a VM and spinning up others without oversight, IMHO, is real enough.

Is that really a danger? I can shut off a machine or VMs.
Heh. I like “Clovis police.”

That’s a problem in any community; gatekeepers.

But, at the same time, as Sagan mentioned, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A lot of completely batshit stuff pops up, all the time.

> I could use to make this into an actual "mat" for kids to play on.

Ok so what I actually would for something like this, is having the traditional play mat, and in addition to that, have a digital-physical hybrid traffic simulation with programmable physical cars driving around, and remotely steerable toy car that your kid could drive around the traffic.
The demo video shows it making a game of life.

People really should start using examples that don't have literally thousands of step by step tutorials all over the web.

That includes clones of Wordle, Flappy Bird, generic todo lists, etc. With those, I can't tell how well the abilities would generalize to real world projects.
During the pandemic, though, we had scientists asserting that various physical methods would stop the spread of the virus with no evidence to back that up (masking, keeping 6 ft away from people, previous COVID did not provide immunity, vaccines would stop the spread of COVID, etc etc).

When scientists don't follow their own method, how should the public decide on which findings to trust?
Show HN: No-Code Scraper – Fast Web Scraping with LLM Function Calling
Hey fellow web scrapers,

I love web scraping but tired of the following challenges:

Once a website changes its HTML, your scraper breaks.

Even a quick scrape requires project setup and tag parsing, making it too much work for small datasets or projects.

Just like in every data project, a majority of the time is still spent cleaning up the data to make them usable.

To address these challenges I built no-code scraper. Would love your feedback. It's free to use without sign up
programming involves a lot of reading

Is that true for an average developer, really? Yes, we read lots of manuals, snippets, stackoverflows. But code? One does mostly write code.

And when we do read code, it may lack good naming, structure, comments, clarity, may be unnecessarily complex or hacky. Where does it wrap is the thing one would care about only in perfect code, if at all. Most editors can smart-wrap and clearly indicate it anyway.

So you sign up for a subscription and every month you must use a 2nd factor to secure it?

According to the comments under the article, this is the item: http://iec.net/product/d-style-male-solder-type-connector/ - so it still appears to be in stock.
I'm in the weird position of code I wrote 15 years ago still being a common thing I use in production on applications I run today. I worked for a monitoring company that still uses the distant ancestor of the code I wrote, so if I am monitoring applications using their library, it's still got a lot of my code in it.

The oldest code I think is still in production I wrote in 2002, so it's old enough to drink. Still powers a web form as far as I am aware. Funny story - it was in ASP/JScript, so I've been doing "full stack JS" for close to 25 years now?!
I use "Cove" which is much more tame that the other by default and (I assume that's the case for all) matches your tone.

So if I'm asking it a question on a neutral tone it will answer in the same way.
Not sure, one could say they use their dominant search position and revenue to serve video at a loss and distort the market, making it very hard for anyone without an existing money printing machine to bootstrap a profitable video site. See vimeo.

Even if you're correct you've just taken my words at their absolute meaning without trying to understand what I'm saying. If all you care when communicating is transmitting information you will not find much happiness in communication.
> Does every dev need to write the same line now?

Yes.

Definitely not.

Particularly if I can write the one-liner faster than it takes one to search, check, include and install the library.
I've always heard that megafauna disappearances coincide with human appearance; what other theories are beating that out?
Yep, thought of that as soon as I read the parent and GP comments.

And I have also thought of the same point on my own before.

And it's not just:

>could give you tons of diarrhea due to some animals taking a dump nearby.

But also: from all the way upstream (from aquatic animal life), and from the upstream watersheds (from terrestrial animal life), which, all together, is a shit-ton of dumps, pun not intended.
The problem you get replacing the instrument sounds with those from a better synth is they will sound different and often out of balance (certain instruments too quiet or loud or the timbre not fitting in). I believe there were a few projects trying to create a "sound font" to give optimal MIDI sound to early 90s DOS games.
Funnily enough my first gigs around the turn of the century were in ASP/JScript! As far as I know that code is still running in production, NT 4.0 or something?
Just dropping this "random" ffmpeg command here, as a reminder that you can turn video files into actual transparent webm using

ffmpeg -t 5 -i example.mp4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 2M -filter_complex "[0:v]chromakey=0x00ff00:0.3:0.2[out]" -map "[out]" -map 0:a stop.webm`

where `example.mp4` is a video with the typical green background.

Maybe someone needs it :)
Yes, and email address.
I live in Germany, and had cancer, and my experience with the public health system is completely different from yours. I got prompt treatment and asked for second and third opinions (which I also got at short notice, from different doctors at different hospitals) before treatment.

I know from friends there are places where the public health system is so underfunded (e.g. Bulgaria) that they basically had to get private health insurance to get good treatment. In other words YMMV.
They are. But the solution to each might be different. And given the specific argument being contested here is whether beer was drank because it was considered safer, understanding their motives is pretty fundamental to that discussion.
The 19-pin is there (https://iec.net/product/d-style-male-solder-type-connector/), but the connector has a blue interior, which suggests it's a different source than OP? I suppose it could be a stock photo of a different version.
Do have some nostalgia towards ICQ, think it was great at finding people based on interest and geo-location. Dont think there is anything like that now, but i also think it cant be copied.
Yes. Another corroborating comment:

Yes, exactly. I'm saying that even if you're too small for that it's still pretty cheap.
“Forget the fake IDs adolescents used to get into bars,” says Georgia State’s David Maimon, who is also head of fraud insights at SentiLink, a company that works with institutions across the United States to support and solve their fraud and risk issues. “Nowadays fraudsters are using sophisticated software and capable printers to create virtually impossible-to-detect fake IDs.” They’re able to create synthetic identities, combining legitimate personal information, such as a name and date of birth, with a nine-digit number that either looks like a Social Security number or is a real, stolen one. That ID can then be used to open financial accounts, apply for a bank or car loan, or for some other dodgy purpose that could devastate their victims’ financial lives."

Does this seem a little far-fetched? The reporter lost $5000 - a lot of money! - but if it required a high-tech impossible-to-detect fake ID, layers of shadowy criminal gangs and cash mules it seems like there won't be a huge profit left. It seems more likely that this kind of fraud is much less sophisticated, and is exactly the same technology used by adolescents to get into bars.

This feels like another argument that this is an unsolvable problem, and banks are helpless against mysterious dark web hackers. Dive bars are held reasonably accountable over verifying identity, it seems crazy that we accept that banks can't/won't do the same.
Well water is not safe either. It's exposed to the atmosphere, so to dust, birds (both s(h)itting and flying), and insects, etc.

Depending on the shape and structure of the well, rats can crawl inside, and lizards, and cockroaches and other insects can crawl in anyway, and poop there. and we all know about rats as a vector of many serious diseases, like the plague in said mediaeval times.
IIRC you can build a completely new Amiga now, or very close to it.

I had an entirely private channel with a couple hundred 1-3 hour long HD recordings of video conferences / screen shares. Entirely private as in every video was private, no one but me ever had access to them. Last year the channel was nuked and the account banned because I apparently broke their rule on “impersonation”. Seriously. I could file a dispute, but in typical Google fashion that dispute disappeared into the void. Thankfully the YouTube ban didn’t affect other aspects of that Google account, and didn’t spread to my other Google accounts. I was worried for a minute since I have another account with >10k subscribers, and while I don’t do monetization, it would suck to have that nuked as well.

I suspect that’s Google beginning to trim unprofitable channels using a lot of storage: delete them for bullshit reasons.
> On April 18, 2023, according to a police report, she’d gone into a Citizens Bank branch in New Rochelle in Westchester County, presented an ID with another woman’s name, and walked away with $3,500. A bank employee had become suspicious and called the account owner to confirm she’d made the withdrawal herself. She hadn’t.

What confuses me is that the bank has my photo ID already. So when someone comes in to make a large cash withdrawal using a fake ID with my name on it, doesn't the teller see my face on screen to match?

I find it hard to believe that the thiefs managed to find a mule that looks exactly like the victim.
> the impact is minimal.

yes, I must admit it's not the end of the world, but it tends to add an extra layer of gotchas on top of our already crufty legacy codebase (millions of lines of code, >100 devs on 3 different platforms). Which is something I'd rather not have to deal with, honestly.

> Or you could only build the files that have changed

In my experience the UBT is somewhat inconsistent with that. I've seen multiple times for instance Mac builds being borked on our main branch because a Windows developer pushed code that built absolutely perfectly on their machine.

> Unreal builds in non-unity just fine. There was definitely a time period where it _didn't_, but for the last few years it's been much better than that.

last time I tried 5.1 refused to build non-unity on Linux. Did they fix it with the version after that?

TLDRTracing is a valuable tool in software development that helps prevent issues when making changes by providing visibility into system behavior and performance. It involves monitoring and recording the flow of data or events as they move through a system. Tracing in a distributed system includes components such as tracer, span, context propagation, correlation ID, instrumentation, data store, and visualization and analysis tools. OpenTracing, OpenTelemetry, Zipkin, and Jaeger are widely used distributed tracing libraries. Digma is an observability tool that provides insights and feedback during development

Only to techies. And I'd say only to those who were techies back in the 90's or earlier.

All the other people very likely have no clue why there are all these different TLDs. And for people outside the USA, UK and AU, .com Just means it's an English (as in language) website.
"Humans hunting megafaune to extinction" is a subset of "megafauna disappearances coincide with human appearance" (See: Venn Diagram).

The second does not imply the first, correlation is not causation.

See: almost any scholarly discussion on megafauna disappearences in (say) Australasia or elsewhee of the past few decades.
I think the move to 'plain' digital audio has been liberating. It still is possible to create a game soundtrack on an FM synthesizer, so there's nothing lost except the headaches of incompatible sound card implementations.

If a game really needs to have a 'true' synthesizer it's easy enough to make use of a good software emulation now.

The broken debugger and language server issues strongly suggest type inference problems in your project. Load a core dump into lldb manually without Xcode to verify.

It's only a fallacy for people who actually have arrived. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a useful framework - of course people who have achieved physical and emotional security, esteem in their career and family think that "it's not all about accomplishments", because they have all the accomplishments they need and are just trying to self-actualize.

People who aren't in a position to worry about self-actualization because they're trying to stay fed and clothed are unlikely to agree that money doesn't matter that much, if asked on their deathbed at presumably a young age.
