Something about this comment thread just makes me feel really sad.

It's like my childhood is just gone. Not the cameras, not the film. Just the sense of - yeah, man, go and do that cool thing.

Yes, disposable things cause trash. A thousand of these things could probably fit in my dustbin. Even back in the day with no other options we maybe used 20-50 of them in my entire childhood.

You're allowed to be happy, you know. Them and you too.

That is interesting. Is there anything you can share about the financials?

For fast connection in time of emergency, calling 999 (or worse 000) on a rotary-dial phone seems tortuous - '9' - followed by several agonizing moments as the dial returns to its resting position, only to have to repeat it two more times?

Touch-tone dialing makes all the emergency numbers O(1) instead of O(N).
I think it's hard to make those PvP modes compelling to most people, being turn-based with longer turns is rough (card games get away with it because turns are typically pretty short).

It's hard to think of popular turn-based video games where it's popular for multiplayer and the turns are long.
As a counterpoint to what’s happening in the thread; I’ve found this new feature quite useful.

It saves me a lot of time when searching trivial things.

I do think we should tax borrowing on securities though.
Let's say the price of everything goes down. And let's say you owe money when it does. Now everything is cheaper (including your labor, because the price of everything went down), but you still owe the same number of dollars. That hurts.

And if you say "wages won't go down", then you're expecting that everything else goes down (including the price of whatever your employer makes), but your wages magically won't? It would be nice... but don't hold your breath.

> what do you lose by iTerm2 having an opt-in feature that you don't need to use?

Trust. “AI” features are a trust rubicon. Once you add it, the assumption is that surveillance is now baked in.
That's a well-known thing. Turbulence injuries come from being launched into the ceiling of the plane due to negative Gs. It's why the seatbelt is important - to restrain you to your seat.
I don't fully understand the talking about "scale" then. Scale is irrelevant to criminals. OpenPGP has been around longer than I've been alive, and OTR for soon 20 years. The fact that WhatsApp and iMessage has been per default for the last 10 does not push the needle for a motivated criminal.

The fact that it IS deployed at scale now is the "problem" and what will be "solved" by something like Chat Control. We would go back to how it was before E2EE became the norm.

What this legislation would allow is (even more) mass surveillance of normal people.
I term has a killer feature that neither of suggested have - native control of tmux (tmux -CC).

For heavy tmux user it could be a deal breaker, especially given that kovid (kitty author) is hostile towards tmux.
This phrasing is pretty biased and something I most often see from product managers who are pushing changes that aren't in most user's interests. Many product changes that Google makes these days are driven by promotions and/or increasing revenue, not to make products better for end users. You can refer to all changes as "innovation", but it's going to sound unreasonable to most.

Also, characterizing people who object to one specific change as having "zero tolerance for continued innovation" is ridiculous and innacurate.
Is driving actually kind of easy in Japan for this reason? I’ve never had a car while there. It’s wild how different Japan and China are despite being neighbors. I can’t think of a European neighbor pair that is so different.

I guarantee this is the beginning of iTerm2 becoming a closed-source paid product. Oh, I'm sure there will always be an "open source" version of it, but we have all seen this movie before.
Sounds like a super-worthwhile, valuable & lives-enhancing (or even saving in some cases perhaps!) idea to me.

Your lesson here then: Dont ask people to judge your ideas, unless they're themselves full of good ideas often (in your estimate). Whether family or friends or anyone is irrelevant here on principle.

Here's another ai-but-not-gen-ai idea: app to see how one would look with some specific haircut, from multiple angles or ideally from all angles (feed enough photos for a good-enough "3d skull detection"). One could show their haircut choice rendered in-app to their barbers, and/or barbers could also subscribe to such an app to offer the feature to their present customer, perhaps by live-filming their head for a few seconds. (Something I'd like to exist but not badly enough to make it happen, compared to my other pursuits.)

Saying an economy-wide, central bank-fueled debt bubble followed by debt deflation is bad is very different to saying that deflation is very bad in general. This is simply trying to reframe your argument after the fact. Deflation isn't the cause of economic contraption as you said, it is the result.
That's helpful. On first look through the website, I found no mention of the tragic human and environmental cost.
If the period was the 999th character in the line, it would split it to the next line since the maximum line length in SMTP is 1000 characters including CRLF.
Uhh, I don't understand. It's an open-source project with a ton of eyeballs on it. Are you saying that someone is going to sneak in a change to exfiltrate all keystrokes in a massively popular terminal app without anyone noticing? Is this risk new somehow?
The worst is when actual innovation get thrown out (by buying companies and enshitifying them) or when something is done, but they go and break it (because growth).

As a customer, it feels like companies don’t care about your needs and wants. Like Slack and Dropbox enabling content scanning without consent.
But we already have to do that. The marketplace is already flooded with garbage. People who do original things will still float to the top. People who already produce poorly made crap will have to do something else
FreeCAD is good for simple stuff. When I had to switch is when I was doing anything intermediate. The following are examples of operations that are totally trivial in Fusion360 that are nearly impossible to achieve in FreeCAD without either rebuilding large portion of the model or some other destructive operation, or gave incorrect results, or was difficult to work with the end result:

- adding a chamfer (such as when you need to add a 1 degree slope in an injection mold

- more complex spatial Boolean operations

- simple operations for manipulating entire models by pushing or pulling subsets of them

My use case was designing simple parts for injection molding (rudimentary electronics enclosure for outdoor use). Not in any way what someone would consider pushing the limits of what modeling software can do.

Overall, I cannot unfortunately recommend the software to others at this time unless you are 100% sure that it will satisfy your use cases. Or else you will end up in the same situation as me, someone who wasted hours and hours learning this tool and wanting it to be the tool I could use, only to find out it’s just straight up insufficient for my use case.

Show HN: Empower-functions, SOTA OSS function calling LLM
Function calling is a crucial feature for language models because it allows them to access real-time data and interact with external tools, making them far more versatile and powerful.

The problem? Right now, if you want function calling, you're stuck using GPT-4. While it's an amazing model, it's also pretty expensive, which isn't ideal if you're trying to keep costs down. There are a few open-source models out there, but none of them are robust enough for real-world applications.

So, we decided to change that. We've built a new LLM that supports function calling, and we are open-sourcing it. We've benchmarked our model against many other alternatives, and we're confident that it’s the best open-source LLM for function calling. Plus, it’s much cheaper than GPT-4, making it accessible to a wider range of users.

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. We're excited to see what you build with this new LLM!
Most of the time they're more "aims" than "claims", are they not? Startups want to capture x% of a market, and they'll say they think they can do it, but probably won't make it sound like they're actually guaranteeing it.

Maybe I'm missing something about startup claims that are actually fraudulent, rather than hopelessly optimistic.

From TFA it is stated that they were doing the split of lines because of the "1000 octet" maximum line length requirement of the SMTP protocol.

And, they also state that the period disappeared because it was placed at the start of the next line when the split occurred.

From which one can deduce that they were doing the most basic "split" possible, splitting at the exact 1000 octet point, i.e. something like:

if (length(line)>1000) then:
line1=string_range(line,0,999)
line2=string_range(line,1000,end)
fi

And if the period in 27.00 ended up exactly at offset 1000 in "line" then it got 'split' into line 2 as the first character of line2.
Why do you hesitate to interact in the presence of misguided comments? Shouldn't those motivate you to provide the "correct" perspective so people can learn?

Even comments looked down as misguided by mainstream academics can be substantial and add value by providing contrarian perspectives.

Hancock should serve as an invitation for academia to reflect upon why they are not able to reach the public anymore.

Imho, Hancock is the manifestation of the suppression of catastrophism in favor of gradualism/uniformitarianism in 20th century archeology.

Physics has people like Sabine Hossenfelder who confront the dark side of their profession. Has archeology someone like Sabine Hossenfelder, interrupting the industry of academia circle-jerk?

I know a trained archeologist and she is more on the side of Hancock than on the side of the mainstream. Things are not black and white.

Oh and regarding the score: I chose not to track or display a score because it didn't feel in the spirit of the game, and besides that, there's no fair way to score it. It can't be based on their common name, as shown in the game itself, for example. You could argue that the only way to win is to always press frog, since all toads are frogs by scientific taxonomy, but I don't want to say folk taxonomy is invalid. But really, I don't think the score matters to the learning objective.

Which is why the game doesn't track it, there is in fact not even two buttons.

> Most of the time, deflation is unambiguously a positive trend for the economy

It depends on how deflation comes about. Technological innovation? Pretty good as the 1991 Radio Shack ad illustrates:

* https://www.huffpost.com/entry/radio-shack-ad_b_4612973

Through a collapse of economic activity and mass unemployment? Not so good.
I think you're probably just categorizing something as "scammy" when it's more about being unrealistically ambitious.
Post-2008 tried really hard to be a deflationary period. Instead, the Fed intervened ($4 trillion evaporated, and the Fed created another $4 trillion through QE), and we got a flat decade. Compared to the 1930s, that was a massive step up.

Why not just keep using iTerm2?

Benefits:

-You can keep using a terminal app you apparently like (understandably, it’s great)

-You don’t have to find and install a replacement

-You don’t have to re-add tmux

-Not actively enabling a new chat feature you don’t like costs very little time

Downsides:

-…
Seriously confused, the article first screws up royally saying its not opensource, which they correct, but then discuss "shoved down their throats" ... a feature that exists but is not enabled by default and doesn't even work if you don't provide a key.

It's absolutely rediculous that supporting something, thats opt-in not opt-out is causing a ruckus lol, people really have too much fuckin time on their hands to bitch about things.

This is like bitching that Firefox allows us to enable a proxy server, and throwing a fit that a feature exists even as an option to be enabled.

True, but while Congress was dithering, Russia bit off more of Ukraine up near Karkiv.
the analysis is more akin to analyzing with & without dropout, where a common number is to drop a random 50% of connections during a pass for training, thus forcing the model to not rely on specific nodes or connections

When you look at a specific input, you can look to see what gets activated or not. Orthogonal but related ideas for inspecting the activations to see effects

I used OpenSCAD for years but when I encountered Build123d I never looked back. Build123d is a true BREP modeling software, based on python. So it removes two of the weak points of OpenSCAD.

Fillets, chamfers, "shelling" things, just one method away. Plus, it is able to run in a jupyter notebook.
This is kind of an aside, but hover is a perfectly valid UI mechanism, and I intensely dislike the trend of kneecapping the UI just to make it work on a touch screen.

Some things just don't work well if you don't have a mouse. That doesn't mean we should throw them away. It just means that sometimes you need a mouse for real work. There's nothing wrong with that.
If a person has never heard of dot stuffing they're never going to believe what other horrors lie within the email space. Header folding, quoting in the local part, ipv6 literals, etc.
I agree with the sibling posts about escalation and so forth, but your numbers also don't capture customer recruitment. I'm fortunate enough to live within Sonic's catchment area in the Bay Area, and have just moved the company for which I'm responsible over to 100% Sonic. My advocacy for them is 85% based on their superlative tech support, and our new business account will pay for half of one of those "truly cares" engineers. I'm damn happy to do it. Incidentally, I think I've persuaded three or four neighbors to switch to (residential) Sonic, and one professional contact to set up a business account for his company.

I think good customer support/relations has to be committed to for reasons that don't immediately show up on spreadsheets, with the trust that they will pay long-term dividends. I realize that is antithetical to The Way Things Work Now, but in both my personal and professional lives I try only to do business with companies that agree.
It’s surprising that Amazon hasn’t bought Atlassian or GitLab and Google hasn’t bought the other one.

That's why I was thinking a community resource would be nice. A fully kitted-out darkroom available to lease out in 2 hour chunks. Lessons available for new people. I do think everybody should do it a few times. Also there's a few times I'd want to use an actual darkroom for some projects, but like you say, I'm not dedicating the space and funding to a darkroom. But I'd gladly pay, say $50, to use a darkroom for a couple hours. Heck, I'd pay to lease out some cameras. It's been a long time since I've used a Hasselblad medium format!
This is encrypted with local storage. How is this data being used to train and sell for them?
How? how does it take less effort than... nothing... like its not enabled by default, and requires a api key if you even do want it, like the app is the same for everyone that doesn't want to use the feature lol
>Imagine there's a new topic to talk about, that has not previously been seen on the internet: how do LLM chatbots rank the correct information (if there's no search engine to rank it for them)?

They follow trusted source? For example, would you quote WSJ or some random site? But imo PageRank was powerful in finding popular and somewhat good information but it was bad for discovering new content and new websites and that's why Web aggregators like Reddit began to thrive.
There are a few other long running software. What's the longest age of a fixed emacs bug, for instance?
No it isn't its a disabled feature by default, that requires an API key even if you do want it, its opt-in for gods sake

Start with a problem you actually have, rather than beginning with the destination "We're going to snoop on all the customers" and then trying to think of a reason why that's a good idea.

Maybe you'll get to the same destination but I very much doubt it. Of course, if your starting goal was to snoop on the customers and you were just looking for an excuse...

Indeed. Unless you're some kind of VIP, the relationship between you and the restaurant is that serving you is the necessary dance required to get money from you, to be done as cheaply as possible. You don't pay enough for the business to actually care about responding to your individual preferences; it's cheaper to let you go and for a less preferential customer to take your place.

This is the usual race to the bottom on the market.
