Beyond this, an LLM can easily become confused even if outputting JSON with a valid schema. For instance, we've had mixed results trying to get an LLM to report structured discrepancies between two multi-paragraph pieces of text, each of which might be using flowery language that "reminds" the LLM of marketing language in its training set. The LLM often gets as confused as a human would, if the human were quickly skimming the text and forgetting which text they're thinking about - or whether they're inventing details from memory that are in line with the tone of the language they're reading. These are very reasonable mistakes to make, and there are ways to mitigate the difficulties with multiple passes, but I wouldn't describe the outputs as highly reliable!

How Long Do Eggs Really Last?
Honestly, what I'd be interested in is buying basically permanent space.

And how much to just pay for 1 TB up front and I never have to pay for it again?

With steady decline in storage costs, that should be a sustainable business model. It gives you upfront capital.
(Not sure if by "master sketch" you mean an assembly sketch, or if you instead mean what SolidWorks calls 3D sketch).

At least in Link branch, my workflow is to name the first part in my document "Layout", and fill it with master assembly sketches, drawing cross-sections of an entire assembled product. Then I create subsequent parts which all import and reference the geometry in those sketches, and never reference other parts. This lets me do a top-down assembly-driven design, which is very fast and easy to modify later on, and freely delete and replace parts without breaking references. FreeCAD supports this workflow via shape binders, and Link Branch speeds it up greatly by automatically creating shape binders as needed.

Great to hear that mainstream FreeCAD will soon support those improvements, but I'll keep pointing people to Link Branch until those improvements actually get released.
Lots of posts about that. This is new ("news") and celebrity, so it's getting traction at the moment.
You're describing cargo-cult. The mindless replication of form without consideration for function.

> But minimalism is a thing, it just has to be tempered.

Some people's view of minimalism is frugality for its own sake. It becomes an ideology that has nothing to do with the practical purposes behind the label, "doing away with excess". Excess is whatever is too much, redundant. The quality of something excessive is that you don't notice it when it's gone. You don't miss it. Minimalism is not about replacing a function with another noticeably more convoluted approach. My personal summary of being a minimalist is that you own all of what you need and you use all of what you own. A minimalist may decide that they don't own a fork because they can eat just as well with their spoon. If they can go months without noticing, it's a good call. The moment you see them contorting that spoon while attempting to cut their steak, they've lost the plot. Likewise in UI, the hard to find scroll bars, the greying of texts, the missing buttons are all being noticed by users. It's minimalism gone to seed.
When I heard the demo, I assumed they licensed her voice until I read the press release.
Founders usually decide their salary, not VCs - if you are raising a seed and decide to use your runway to pay yourself a competitive salary then that's on you. How you decide to spend your seed money is up to you (barring fraud). Same for early employees, they negotiate with the founder, not VCs. Founders are the type of people who even if they were paid more, would plow that money back into the business - it doesn't make sense to take the tax hit.

I may be mistaken, but I've never heard of a VC dictating salaries.
I wonder if that cookie recipe is written down somewhere.

Sure there was. If you cmd-click on an URL in iTerm2, it launches the browser, thus sending your output to a third party.

Talk about misaligned incentives. What’s stopping employees from intentionally messing with accounts to get paid to fix them.

No it's not. Founders can and should pay themselves a decent living wage. But I absolutely will reject a 2 person startup's CEO from paying themselves $300k a year if I was on their board.
Its just one voice of several choices, right? I think I would pay to not listen to her. I have no idea why so many people are obsessed with her of all people.
Concerns that are still 100% unfounded.

If they're worried about your terminal calling OpenAI servers if you ask it to call OpenAI servers, why are they not worried about all the many more damaging things you can do with your terminal when you ask it to?

Guess what? My terminal has always been able to call ChatGPT, even before this curl wrapper was released :O

I definitely want Palette colour cycling!
But getting some support in there for layers is my current priority.
Development is driven by whatever missing feature currently annoys me the most :-)

I use https://www.mingw-w64.org for the windows build - which makes it nice and easy to get the compiler and dependencies installed (Qt, libpng, libjpeg, giflib).
Once you've got the dependencies set up it Just Works (tm), on Linux, Windows and Mac (although I don't have a mac to build/test on these days).
My take is that it means founders are sharing the risk by investing in the company and by taking a smaller salary than they could otherwise. This means there is a clear motivation to get a successful exit for them as well as the VC's
I didn't think it sounded like her either. This is one of those things you can make it sound like her with a little marketing and branding but I didn't think it sounded like her on a blind listen.
Which is a good thing. The entire corpus is CC-licensed and anyone can download it for free. If you want a real-time API, performance SLAs, machine parsable formats, support etc. then pay for it.
Why do you need to worry about that? That’s not what this feature does.
I came here to make the same comment. If you’re founding a company and it’s a fantastic investment opportunity, nobody will have any problem with you paying yourself a great salary. If the opportunity is less great, then they may take issue with their money being used to pay the founder so much money. The optics of a high founder salary in any case are poor; investors view your founder equity as a major component of your compensation and they want you to be somewhat hungry for success rather than being satisfied with your base pay.

If your startup is a few years old and you’re looking to make more cash, I suggest negotiating a bonus package with your board of up to 100% of your base salary. If you hit targets, few investors will argue with paying the founder a decent bonus.

> preferences aren't above criticism

Sure. I just wouldn't expect to get particularly far with that strategy.

> ought to shield you from people being able to say "that's a dumb opinion"

We're talking about a preference of which terminal emulator to use. Is there some larger social consequence that should be addressed this way?

Having openly genocidal racist attitudes are "dumb opinions" that are worthy of public challenge. Whether or not I want to use iTerm2 because they added LLM interfaces is probably not.
Given that "being 100% right" isn't possible because they're not omniscient, would you rather they embarrass themselves by being a little too cautious and saying "let's experiment" and "here's what we found from our experiment" 1.5 versions before it turned out to matter, or would you instead prefer they had let everyone download 3.5 without any restrictions because they hadn't even stopped to think about what might possibly go wrong?

(Failing to stop and think in advance what might go wrong, seems to be why Facebook didn't invest much in moderating the content in Burma until much too late; they'd have also looked to many people like they were 'worrying about nothing' if they'd done that investing before the genocide gave everyone a concrete example of why that matters)

All of the stuff I saw OpenAI being concerned about in the link, has in fact happened with the bigger models (that said, this is a skim-reading, not an exhaustive analysis):

--

"""We chose a staged release process, releasing the smallest model in February, but withholding larger models due to concerns about the potential for misuse, such as generating fake news content, impersonating others in email, or au- tomating abusive social media content production [56]."""

(Basically all of that)

"""One key variable affecting the social impact of language models is the extent to which humans and machines can detect outputs. We found reasons for optimism as well as reasons to continue being vigilant about the misuse of language models going forward. Our thoughts on detection at this time are:

• Humans can be deceived by text generated by GPT-2 and other successful language models, and human detectability will likely become increasingly more difficult."""

(I've been accused, here, of being an LLM. Have you, yet?)

"""Security: There is a tradeoff between the number of partners and the likelihood of a model being prematurely released, accounting for hacks and leaks.

Fairness: The high cost of compute used in powerful models like GPT-2 raises concerns about accessibility and equity in future AI research [13]. Private model sharing should not excessively harm researchers with limited computing resources, and conflicts of interest related to model sharing should be avoided in commercial contexts."""

(One of the GPT-2 models got leaked, so did one of the LLaMA models; at the same time, there's loads of people who think it's big and clever to call OpenAI "ClosedAI" and even to throw hissy fits about the other models failing to provide the training set and thus revealing that they have no idea how expensive the models are to train).
TBH I have no idea, I just wanted to make the “no customer service” joke.

Yeah, I have heard that it's a but of a negative signal if founders are paying themselves "nothing." Is this true?
> I may be mistaken, but I've never heard of a VC dictating salaries.

We don't exactly (Boards are a thing) but we do give recommendations of decent salary ranges, but then again, serious founders are not going to ask to get paid a Director at Google's salary when they're the CEO of a 5-6 person startup.
Yes, every person in the call has a video feed that must be decoded and rendered.
I think that terminal usage is either non-existent (Windows cmd.exe or Mac users and Terminal.app) or so fragmented (Linux) that a small share of Mac devs specifically choosing the same alternative and actually using it puts it high on the list. Just a guess and I’d still like to know how they came up with it

On 64 bit computers you've been able to use 128 bit unsigned ints as a gcc extension for a long time now and the bit twiddling stuff works exactly as you'd expect. The relevant types are __int128 / unsigned __int128.

Clang has something similar and my understanding is that c23's _BitInt will let you do this.

Technically, after your first priced round, you'll have a board; you probably control it, but perhaps not after your second round. The board will approve a headcount plan, with implied costs.

Realistically the management team (the operators, not the investors) do control most of this.

The subtext of the question though isn't why operators don't increase comp; it's why investors don't kick in enough to let startups compete with comp packages from FAANGs.

(I think the answer is: it's because most startups fail.)

I'm a big fan of Kotlin, but the developer experience in the IDE has been pretty rocky recently, various of their secondary libraries are semi-abandoned, and their ecosystem documentation is a mixed bag at best. My ideal for the next 12 months would be for them to focus solely on quality. There's incredible potential, but they're going to shoot themselves in the foot if they don't get on top of this soon.

Wow, actually this cookbook is really bad? I expected something like the OpenAI or Anthropic cookbooks, but this seems to be some AI generated low-quality content without any code examples or interesting examples?

The Phi-3 models are great though, especially the vision model has great potential for low latency applications (like robotics?)...
I've been an early adopter of Kotlin 2.0. We use kotlin for our backend (vanilla spring boot setup) and our frontend via kotlin-js. We also have a multi platform library for out backend API client. This powers both our server integration tests and our frontend. If you are wondering why we did that, it's mostly accidental. I had a kotlin/android developer and no time to retrain him on react/javascript. So we picked a Kotlin-js web framework and discovered that it worked well enough for us. It's called Fritz2 and relatively obscure. But definitely worth looking at.

This setup has worked fairly well but it was a rough ride of the typical early adopter bugs, compiler issues, etc. over the years. Consequently when Kotlin 2.0 came out of alpha and entered beta last year, we tried it out and immediately liked it for one big reason: massively improved compiler performance.

Especially with kotlin-js the difference was big enough that we were reluctant to revert back to 1.9. We are talking from edit -> compile -> webpack (by far the slowest thing now) round trips going from > 30 seconds to < 10-15 seconds. About half of that is webpack. I still wouldn't call it fast but it's definitely better.

The early betas we had some code that didn't compile and we found some workarounds and on a few occasions engaged with the developers via the Kotlin slack on specific bugs. They are awesome and very responsive. By beta 2, we had everything working that we cared about. We didn't look back after that. I wouldn't recommend being an early adopter for bigger companies; but for us it was fine. Worst case would have been having to roll back to something that worked and then waiting for a fix.

Highlights of this release are pretty simple:

- no new language changes relative to 1.9. This is on purpose because the whole point of this release is the compiler. So, this should be an easy one to update to. Everything should just work. If it doesn't file a bug or fix your code because it probably does soms sub-optimal things.

- New compiler backend and frontend that have come together over the last few several major releases. This clears the path for a lot of stuff. Including better IDE integration, language changes, and less headaches supporting different compiler targets.

- wasm support is coming together (in alpha release currently). The main limitation is not the compiler but the lack of multi platform libraries that support it. This is slowly being addressed. I'm currently waiting for ktor-client to get support. Wasm has two targets: wasmWasi and wasmJs. wasmWasi is problematic with library support right now but should catch up in the next months.

- Some improvements in the kts gradle dsl for the multi-platform plugin. Nice but not world shocking.
Do they "extract value from your personal information"? Answer is yes. Also, the App Store ads further help increase apple's cut from in app purchases. So one must look at ads + App Store revenue together imo.
Ask HN: What are some niche problems you have with money global and local?

And that's if the Snapdragon X Elite is actually on par with the Apple M3, like Microsoft claims.

Earlier X Elite benchmarks[1][2] showed that it was behind the M3, but hopefully Qualcomm have made some solid performance changes since then. Competition is good.

OpenAI met with "Sky" voice actress in San Francisco in June and July, months before first contacting Scarlett Johansson, perhaps "Sky" voice reminded someone at OpenAI of Scarlett Johansson's voice and that's where the idea of contacting the actress was born.

I think if OpenAI never contacted Scarlett Johansson and Sam Altmam never posted "Her" on Twitter, there wouldn't be any controversy because it wouldn't look like they chose "Sky" voice just because it resembles the actress.
Terra Invicta: seven ideological factions each with a unique vision
There’s a perspective I haven’t seen yet that may explain the backlash: I would never integrate OpenAI into a terminal program I was building because of hallucinations, a lack of trust in OpenAI, and other reasons. I’m not an anti-AI Luddite either, hopped on the AI train in 2015.

So, when someone else integrates OpenAI where I don’t think it belongs, I feel like I can’t trust their judgment, and therefore can’t trust them to make good product management decisions in the future. Adding questionable features is a red flag indicating the product team isn’t focused or has poor judgment.

Put another way, you don’t put the person that says Taco Bell is quality Mexican food in charge of arranging catering for the company Christmas party. I can’t trust them to not screw it up.
Not sure what you mean, as yes, this is a bug they note they have now resolved. The bug presumably isn't that when you delete something on most any device that it's not actually deleted, but rather the bug is that something in their code allowed for a marked as deleted item (no longer accessible to the user), to become accessible to the user again without the user doing any data recovery services. While only Apple currently knows, but the most obvious answer would be that while they want to wait until enough users have applied the fix since perhaps even though incredible rare, it might be something a technical person could replicate on others devices if they know the bug. I would be very surprised if they don't eventually disclose it, but assume will be after it's no longer exploitable to the vast majority of people. All speculation of course.
> Intelligence augmentation shows that human + AI is an ideal partnership

There is an endless list of "proven" things that are ideal for employee performance, team performance, ideal culture, etc. and very often - too often - those things are ignored (for a countless number of reasons).

There is zero reason to believe leadership and management is suddenly going to smarten up and do things that are "ideal".

No one can predict the future. When it comes to jobs IRL academia is simply not qualified to even guess wildly. These in-a-bubble perspectives aren't going to calm any reasonable worker's nerves.
It's alright, 'cause the historical pattern has shown how the economical cycle tends to revolve in a round of decades. Three stages stand out in a loop. A slump and war, then peel back to square one and back for more. Bigger slump and bigger wars, and a smaller recovery. Huger slump and greater wars, and a shallower recovery. You see the recovery always comes 'round again. There's nothing to worry for, things look after themselves. There's nothing to worry, if things can only get better.

There's only millions that lose their jobs and homes, and sometimes their accents.
There's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright.
It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing.
Don't worry, be happy, things will get better naturally.
Don't worry, shut up, sit down, go with it and be happy.
