Yeah, jwz might be a bit weird at times but he is right on this. I don't understand what problem closing bugs solves. If you want to close a bug, check if it doesn't reproduce. And if it doesn't reproduce, give the author the chance to confirm.

A bug report is documentation. It is valuable. It's a gift. If written well enough of course.

If you feel open bug reports clutters your bug tracker, first I would suggest you are watching them from the wrong perspective, and second I would suggest you might need to take advantage of some triage / organization tool (better) like labels or projects.

Open issue doesn't mean "planned" or "will look into this".

Saying this as a software developer. Who has also been reporting some number of issues. Reporting takes time.
Got it, you are friends with corrupt big tech employees.

This site is an absolutely terrible idea. Anyone that thinks this is acceptable should not be working for these companies. Your friends and former colleagues are, quite frankly, stupid. If they sell access to recovery they will be caught and fired, or worse.

It would be trivial for the insider risk people at said companies to find out who you have communicated via their work email.

It is absolutely against terms of employment across the industry to sell recovery of accounts. Not to mention completely unethical. Why would you think this is acceptable?

Just stop.
That’s really where I think the future of these features lives—in figuring out the trust model and security story for providing it. (Maybe it’s even impossible…)

Why is it that open source programs always want me to use an awful (and proprietary) chat app?
Probably not to Edna. It's focused on being fast and lightweight.

I've been thinking about more featureful markdown note taker that would support images and more.

I've started on such a thing but stalled. It's way more work. The good thing about Edna is that I spent less than a month adding the features I wanted to Heynote fork.

The current version is at https://notedapp.dev/ but don't use it for actual notes.
Do you think that slow, subtle inflation won't be priced into the interest rate on your debt?
Nope it doesn't.

You have to turn on "sync across devices" and have a MS account. One of the many excellent reasons to avoid one. Just in case MS makes a "mistake" and turns this one on by default as well.

Just a few weeks ago. I did a simple experiment to check whether the Super-94 at my local Chevron is indeed ethanol-free. It wasn't.

If you look at it realistically, China will never conquer Japan, for example.

Whether they are formal "allies" or not, being on good terms with an important economic partner like Japan and the US is in the best interest of China.
> This explains exactly why physical restaurant menus are so much better vs mobile site menus.

It also explains why trading UI for pros haven't changed at all compared to these Bloomberg Terminal screenshots.

Sometimes a dense UI is precisely what you need. And the one thing that matters for people trading "manually", clicking on things, is latency: there should be no room for "wait, did the server get my order or not!?".

In a way TFA explains why a restaurant isn't a trading floor.
> How long before governments require all your data to be shared with them "for safety"?

This is a good point IMO.

If you'd tell someone in the 90s that the government (or a corpo on their behalf) would scan all their drives they'd be laughing at you.

Yeah, I'm not one of the people mad at iTerm right now, I'm simply saying those people aren't absolutely deranged and there are good reasons to balk at the inclusion of AI features where they don't need to exist.

I happily use iTerm2 and will continue to do so.
My dog never responds to barking sounds in shows / movies, but when I played the spectrogram one he went wild. Anyone have an idea of what makes it different?
Sorry dang. I thought it was subtle enough to be the right side of the line. Will try to be more careful in future.
>What's the simplest mental-labor task that you are confident that AI will not be able to do within the next ten years?

any task where hallucinations and non-determinism are unacceptable. so... a lot of them.

hallucinations are an inherent flaw of "AI", not a bug that can be fixed. "AI" is a glorified data compression algorithm - a very lossy one. improvements - more/better training data, higher parameter count, etc - can't fix that fundamental limitation.

I see the "AI" (and its plausible future iterations) as yet another neat little thing that will enhance but not replace us.
we can (and routinely do) create things that outperform our brains by orders and orders of magnitude in specific applications. calculators did not make mathematicians obsolete - all of our combined (peta/exa/yotta/whatever)flop computation capacity can't replace an elementary school math teacher, let alone someone like Terence Tao (and "AI" often fails at the most basic math despite having been fed possibly every math textbook in existence, which clearly demonstrates that it's "A" but not "I").

the point I'm trying to make is the tech we have is "AI", but the doomsday alarmism is presented as if we have (or will soon have) actual AI. I've read so much of nauseatingly overconfident "experts say" appeal-to-authority bullshit in the past decade about a variety of topics, I can clearly tell that we're going through another phase of hype and mass hysteria.

plenty of technologies have stagnated and even regressed in the past. AI hype gives me strong space era vibes - have there been an equivalent of HN back then, people would speculate about fighting Ivans on Mars, the consequences of post-scarcity brought about by mining resources from other planets, the ethics of space colonization, etc. and now - almost a century later - it's still sci-fi bullshit.

IMHO it behaves too much like a particle system. Even from the start, individual particles seem to pass through what should be a large pool of fluid at the bottom. Interesting, but doesn't seem physically realistic.
sorry, english is not my first language. my point is if a real customer, let's say get blocked on Instagram after an account takeover try to use this service to rescue and unblock and get caught by Meta team, surely will not get their account back because of the unofficial means used to recover the account.
I wouldn't do it permanently, but I use the feature sometimes myself.

Some sites disabled pinch zooms (massively frustrating for images). Some sites exclude information in mobile view. I'm sure there's other reasons too.

Facebook, Reddit and Amazon all have terribly made mobile versions of their sites, for example.

Reddit's is comically bad, like they hired interns to make it who tried trendy stuff but didn't understand how to implement any of it properly.
It sounds like an impressive list, but many of these are ghost towns and are of little value to machine learning. Wikiversity is a mess... Wikipedia is the crown jewel and probably the only thing of unique commercial value for ML.

iTerm has had a font fetcher, a crash reporter, and an automatic updater that all hit the internet for a while. Did anyone care? Is there anybody who turned off the crash reporter but started a fairly mean-spirited thread that the crash reporter was still in the binary? Is there anybody who didn't bother reading the code for what the crash reporter did and expressed that they're not "comfortable with a labeled 'off switch'"?

Seems like this preference only comes up when the endpoint is an LLM. It's an isolated demand for rigor rooted in the visceral emotions LLMs seem to inspire.
<< My apologies, I took your evasion of the homeland border issue as evidence that you didn't want to treat with the fact that it's completely unresolvable.

No worries. It was an evasion guided by trying not to muddy the waters further. I am not sure, bringing border issue into the mix would make anything clearer. It would likely force us down the history lane along with all the distractions associated with it, discussing sources, whether they are valid, biased, accurate and so on.. and while I am sure it would be a really interesting conversation to have, I do not think I am the right person to discuss it.

<< you're basically siding with and supporting the aims of the folks who want to ethnically cleanse the levant.

I purposefully choose not to align myself with either. I am, as it were, neutral, partially because I have no direct stake in outcome ( although I am open to argumentation on this front -- would you be able to make a case for it being useful to US interests ). If it makes you feel any better, I approach question of Ukraine in roughly the same way ( and I technically have a bigger stake in outcome there ).

<< But they're stable injustices and just "turning off" Israeli dominance in the region, which seems to be your goal, is going to hurt things very badly.

I find the phrase 'stable injustices' interesting and I suppose it does speak to something deep within us when as long we know something bad is coming, it is not as bad, because it is just the way life ( currently ) is. All of a sudden, its all ok, because it is, what it is. Might as well complain about the weather really. Pointless.

Do you not find it mildly depressing that you have effectively excused 'terrible injustices' by saying they are at least stable ( and predictable I suppose )?

As for goals, I am not sure I have actual goals here. If I did, I think this conversation would be more structured. But it isn't. I chat with you in this manner precisely, because my mind is not made up and, if it helps, you do offer interesting counter-arguments.

With that in mind, can you elaborate on how 'turning off' Israeli dominance would 'hurt things very badly'? I am a sucker for balance so it is possible I am missing something.
In other words, the people didn't "fly up" and hit their heads, the plane fell on top of them.

Granted they were technically falling, too, but at a slower rate because the force that pushed the plane down - turbulence - acted directly on the plane, but the plane shielded the passengers from the direct effect of the turbulence. Thus the air did not push them down at the same rate that it pushed the plane down onto them.
Welcome to the corporatocracy.
Furthermore borrowed money increases the money supply, and at that scale, the money you're borrowing can even be used to increase the price of the assets that you're using as collateral, allowing you to borrow even more.

It can also unwind just as quickly if you need to pay those debts back in a hurry, causing your asset prices to tumble on the way down. But if you're big and have borrowed enough money, whole jobs and industries will be dependent on your continued solvency, and so you can sometimes maneuver to put the public on the hook.

How much DNA do we need to show to prove this is at least partially true.

And when it is partially true, it echos. I think even iRobot mentions this about Europe.

There is a difference in culture. Where the US dominates, europe is pessimistic, and (Africa/New New World) is growing. I suppose the New New world never really happened, the US stayed ontop. I imagine iRobot was a bit more optimistic about the political affairs of the New New world.
100% of searches I do are from commandline.

For most queries, I get ~100 links, up to a limit of about 250-300. No blue links, just black and white. People complain about the quality of Google search. The complaint I have is the limited number of results. I have custom programs that process SERPs and I use search not only for "search" but for also for "discovery"; I want a maximum number of results, several hundred at least. In the days of AltaVista I could get thousands.

Having used this commandline search method for decades, there does not seem to be any effect of "search history" on the results I get. All the search engines appear to rely on Javascript to "learn" about www users.

Whereas if I do a search in a popular browser, an absurdly large program that runs other peoples' Javascript indiscriminantly, I can easily see how search history is being used to modify the results. It's comically bad. And that is what most people seem to complain about.
As someone who has worked with Qualcomm extensively and developed products based on their QSDK for years, this thread is way too optimistic.

Qualcomm is heavy on sales and marketing and all of these promises have been made before on previous silicon releases. Their management hates open-source and only permits what is absolutely necessary. I am not hopeful for the future on these devices. They will be locked down and closed source in various ways that people just don't know about yet.

The only way I can imagine being comfortable with it is if I'm using it on a machine that is permanently air-gapped from the internet.

That complete of a record is extremely sensitive and high-value. The potential damage from having it misused is far too high to take any actual chance with.
I've posted about it a few times, a few years ago my entire Google account was locked out for "fraud" with Google Pay. Lost my email, DNS, GoogleFI (my CELLPHONE) access. Sent them a picture of my license 3 times on a form they make you fill out (which you have to google, they don't tell you anything, you just can't log in).

Never received a response.

I'd kind of like this for stuff like that. Bypassing horrendous or non-existent customer support.

I never once received a response from Google. I tested my account maybe a year later and it was unlocked.

Unlike the current system which relies on companies to be perfect and never try to abuse the system.

Of course, companies abusing the system happens far, far more often and at far, far larger scales than people abusing the system.

The difference for me is when the menu gets large then it becomes laborious to scroll through a long linear menu vs a rectangular representation of that same data - which allows for much shorter scrolls. Imagine the menu on a restaurant was handed to you on a 4ft long receipt, you’d get pretty fed up of moving it up and down.
The method for Meno's slave was really the way to learn - at least for me.

Example:
How do you land on the moon? Build a rocket and land it.

Divide the problem into 99 steps involving Gravity (math), rockets (mechanical, combustion, chemical), trajectories (advanced math), and then life support (biology, math)

Learn each of those steps and with enough money you can get to the moon.
I think its interesting that this alone would have been grounds for the board to sack him

I'm really confused what is going on here with people being so upset. It doesn't do anything unless you provide an OpenAI key. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you actually run the "Engage Artificial Intelligence" command. It's roughly the same thing as asking ChatGPT, but its right in your terminal app.

It isn't always on or anything. It's actually kind of hard to find and use.

Is there maybe something I'm missing? Or is this a general backlash against AI?
Did you check your performance reviews to see if they were missing periods also?
Altman would have us believe it's all just an innocent misunderstanding but without actually saying so:

"We cast the voice actor behind Sky’s voice before any outreach to Ms. Johansson."

Is he trying to suggest the company did not try to make the voice sound like her without her permission?

The statement sounds like it's written by a lawyer to be technically true while implying something that is actually false.

These are weasel words.

He sounds sneaky, evasive and intentionally deceptive.

We should not give a sneaky, deceptive and manipulative person this much power over our future.
I don't like @sama just as much as the next person, but come on, in what world is ScarJo's voice unique? There are many people who sound like her. Does she imply that she "owns" this voice so no one else can use it? Excuse me, that's not how it works.

Edit: IMO OpenAI should just make their voice engine open source. Then we'll see if ScarJo or anyone else can stop the open-source community. I expected more from her.
I see this in a less cynical light… this seems to be a commentary about how these companies can disrupt an individual’s life cor whatever reason and said individual has no legal recourse. Legislation certainly hasn’t address what seems to be a very common issue that even within this thread, lots of people are sharing experiences about losing accounts that held thousands of dollars in them.

These companies claim that people can make a livelihood, or save their digital lives with their services, but the dark underbelly seems to be that for any reason, these companies can erase you, and even worse, you can “bribe” an insider to get things back. Its an elegant way to expose an issue that you only really might see a random youtuber complain about. How much more widespread should you allow this to get?

Instead of writing an article for wired, create an app to bring attention to an issue.

It's sad games and so software just "disappear" from history.

The misconception platforms will keep our data indefinitely is very unfortunate, things haven't even changed since those days.

As a long-time Solidworks user (mostly for hobby projects) who switched to FreeCAD again recently, I highly recommend watching the tutorial videos from "MangoJelly Solutions" on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWuyJLVUNtc0UszswD0oD...

In my experience, a lot of what I used to think were limitations of FreeCAD turned out to be me just not knowing the FreeCAD way of doing things. More importantly, that FreeCAD almost always has more than one way of doing things, so if something seems too hard, you need to go digging for an alternative workflow.

The videos start kinda slow for folks who already know how to do parametric modeling, but it helps to put yourself in a beginners' mindset and pretend you're learning CAD for the first time. I found them a lot more useful than the documentation.

I should note that FreeCAD as of 0.21 is a lot more stable than previous versions. The last time I tried to switch (2-3 years back), I gave up and just paid for my annual SolidWorks renewal after the third time I lost several hours' work due to a crash. With the latest version, I don't think it's crashed on me once.

Where I still miss SolidWorks is when doing complicated assemblies, but I'm still getting to know the various assembly workbenches to figure out which one works best for me. For basic part modeling, I think I'm coming around to actually preferring FreeCAD now. (It's also a huge plus not having to reboot my Linux desktop into Windows, although I'm still keeping the Windows partition around for gaming.)
I think there’s a conceptual difference between a payment made for bare minimum service and a payment made for special treatment. Granted, for most web services these days they seem to be the same in reality
Right. I don’t see any conflict with that and Greek corruption and mismanagement. I was always on the side of the Greeks in that battle. If you lend you take risk. If you lend to a state you can’t take their democracy as collateral. The bean counters can kindly piss off, as always.
