There are many other terminal emulators with these features now and they chose to add this now popular feature in a very thoughtful way.

I don't think I purported to solve anything, nor was I particularly upset. Disappointed or resigned, probably. I think we've denied ourselves the possibility of fixing anything. I could probably be convinced of the possibility of meaningful improvement, but I'm mostly skeptical.

That's actually exactly what's going on with wave/particle duality. Everything's a wave, all the time, but in certain regimes, wave behavior very closely approximates particle behavior. The realization that particle behavior is therefore just a subset of wave behavior is part of the motivation for looking for an omnibus theory that accounts for everything.

Unification is not unprecedented, consider e.g. the unification of the weak nuclear force and electromagnetic forces into the electroweak force.

Nothing in the comment seems like a "joke" to me. It reads as bitter and condescending and based on the responses here I am not the only one to interpret it that way. That's not the kind of project I'd want to depend on.

I think the root of this issue here is trust and control. I work for a company with a restrictive IT department. It's not "overly-restrictive" because the data with we work with is sensitive. Banning all AI enabled products, which my company did, is absolutely the logical and safe thing to do. (We have self hosted hosted AI solutions and limited GitHub CoPilot access now.)
Don’t worry, by breaking your device, we’re allowing us to focus on what we want to do.
It's an interesting point. I too am deeply skeptical and worried, and I would be concerned people think I am "anti-AI". Which I am not -- not least because it's a sixty-plus-year-old discipline that has a development history that spans long before OpenAI and the current burst of empty calories.

But if there's something I am building into my personality, it is rejecting (and calling out) grift. That is what makes me seethe about this entire big picture. The hype, the cultural parasitism, and the callous, blasé "oh yeah if you're not using this already you're probably fucked" FUD/FOMO shit smoothie that generative-AI people seem entirely too comfortable dishing up.

People who even seem in a hurry to jump on that hype train are going to catch the same side eye.

Re: iTerm2 specifically: I don't use iTerm2. I didn't mind it when I did. I wish the developer luck; terminal apps always need more attention. And in this case I don't think a tickbox to switch something on would trouble me.

But if I really relied on a product, seeing its developer divide attention and start shoehorning in LLM APIs to gain a bit of contemporary relevance would at least slightly bother me.

Like when one of your least rigorous-thinking friends or relatives starts talking to you about some opportunity to do with Ethereum. Not often a positive sign.

(This Gitlab issue is not the silliest overreaction I've seen.

I would suggest to start with the paper I link to below. First skim read it to understand the structure. Then try to follow in detail the parts that interest you most, and play with the code they provide. If you encounter concepts you don't understand, which are necessary for progressing, go look those up on Wikipedia or Google Books (for textbooks).

And don't be discouraged by the math notation. It's mostly just shorthand for things you probably understand very well in code.

For example the capital sigma (sideways M) with a letter "p" or something underneath simply means "loop over the range of the index p, and sum up the following expression for the different values of the index".

The capital delta (triangle pointing up) means "difference", for example delta-t is the increment from one time step to the next.

The upside-down delta is the Nabla, which means gradient, which means derivative in each spatial dimension.
Not even that unlikely, for example consider the well known `rm -rf $STEAMROOT/*` bug in Steam some years ago

It's before. You can code sign and verify macOS binaries with any certificate you wish, including a self-signed one (useful in case you want your private iTerm fork). Note the plugin should be signed with the same certificate as the iTerm app [1], just using a paid account won't work.

If you are a Mac user and not using (or at least considering) iTerm2, you are doing yourself a disservice. It is by far the best terminal emulator available and runs circles around the built-in option.

If you are a not a Mac user, then the entire discussion is moot either way.
The post mentions a cache. I think the key here would be not going to the central DB and instead going to a distributed cache. Not an unreasonable concept when I assume the vast majority will be read operations.
Some context for US/Japan WW II:

In 1943, the US built more than half as many Fleet carriers as Japan fielded over the entire war (15 vs 28), while also producing an absurd number of escort carriers. In the last year of the war, the US built about as many F6F (Hellcat) fighters as Japan built A6M (Zeros) in the previous 5 years (the F6F is generally considered far superior to the A6M; the F4F is the older contemporary of the A6M).
This is unfortunately by no means assured.
But there's nothing wrong with this!

Let's say I'm making a movie. I have an old wizard character similar to Gandolf in Lord of the Rings, so I contact the guy who played Gandolf in Lord of the Rings. He says no, so I hire a different actor who also fits the "old wise wizard" archetype.

Is any of that illegal?
Due to connection setup roundtrips, TCP slow start mechanics and quality of network connections it is usually better to terminate the client's TCP connection close to them. But I agree that moving the frontend rendering near the client doesn't really make sense for almost all cases. So the best general purpose setup would probably look like user → CDN → central PHP+DB.

Of course there are always exceptions. Often stale data is ok and you can ship data snapshots to the edge so that they can be served without going back to the central DB. But in many cases some basic cache policies with a CDN can be nearly as effective.

Yes it would be cheaper, but the whole point of this article is trading off cost for faster boot times. They address your points in the article, how it's faster to boot off a warm EBS instead of loading from scratch.
Competent people call out incompetence.

I'm sure they actually are.
I feel like this developer was treated with the same level of trust (0) that big software companies receive nowadays after repeatedly violating the trust of their users. That may have been unfair, but for him to be this caustic in his response for a bad feature that should have been segmented away via a plugin from the very beginning is a bad look. He jumped on the bandwagon, while not accurately gauging where public sentiment was and got burned.

I'm at least quite glad that he listened and moved it into a separate plugin.

I'm not an iTerm2 user and only learned about it during this controversy. I was actually interested in using it aside from the AI stuff, and plan on trying it as my primary terminal emulator after the developer's actions.
> You're the only person in the room who thinks OpenAI didn't use samples of her voice for their voice model

Really? No one seems to be claiming that anywhere I've seen.

We know that they really did use a voice actress, and that it really is her actual voice, and that she was hired for it before ScarJo was approached. There's no "panic negotiation" there -- the most panic needed would be if someone internally identified that there could be a PR issue if people mistakenly thought it was close enough to seem like intentional impersonation.

Of course they wanted ScarJo, once they thought of it! It'd be great publicity. But that doesn't then mean that anyone who sounds somewhat like ScarJo (but certainly not identical) becomes retroactively unusable or makes it vocal impersonation.

Doublespeak. We did no budget meetings; we did no 'resource allocation' charts or plans. We all worked our butts off, harder than before because nobody needed our status reports so they could concatenate them and pass them up the chain to pretend they were doing something.

The fact is, the work of an engineering manager is largely make-work. Something to justify a middle manager's salary.

Thx, that is very helpful!

If I understand correctly, ontology is about categorizing / defining / mapping relations between concepts. No surprise projects working on this exist.

My question was about the 'indexing' step from there: concept -> number to identify it.

So... it seems no universal standard there?
Except that it can be. As was pointed out in the original issue to remove it, the feature is not disabled, it is unconfigured. Put anything in the box for the OpenAI key, valid or not, and the functionality to send data to OpenAI is active. Accidentally put a [space] in that box and it looks like there is nothing there, but it's doing things you didn't expect.

That was the wrong way to do it. The feature should have been disabled with an actual, clear toggle that shows that it is. This blew up in the developers face for a good reason.
That sounds like a technological issue. I believe people already have it in pill form?
> The plane could absolutely get off the ground, especially if the flaps were set before engine start or on the previous landing.

Both are i think low probability events.

Also if the electrical path through the grounding screw were already cut and the engine turned on, will the current flow through the erroneous circuit given in the article or not? If so, then the article states the propellers will be held at feathered position and thus generate no thrust, the engine failure detection system will activate and shut off fuel to both engines. If not and there is a different circuit in this case then it is not given.

Second, it is because this is a Soviet Union product that i put on my conspiracy hat and imagined some "what-ifs". They were pretty big in these sorts of sneaky shit.

Finally, i don't understand your last remark; i was merely commenting on the current suspicious environment surrounding the recent aircraft disasters.
In GCP land I'd assume Cloud Run is a closer service.

But yes, for full blown applications udually talking to a cache and a DB there are way more efficient and performant solutions already.

Thank you - glad to see there are others that are aware of the mess of healthcare data!

> Would it make sense to go one step further and bet on the future being the cloud - and start supporting existing cloud solution like Google Healthcare (FHIR) API (and others) as storage layers?

Oh for sure - to clarify, we're open-source, but we definitely have a managed cloud solution. For our backend, we currently self-host the OSS version of HAPI FHIR on AWS: https://github.com/metriport/fhir-server. It works pretty well for our purposes, and we'd prefer to not use a managed solution like the Google FHIR storage for this. Mainly for customizability, control, and to keep things OSS.

With that being said, people using Metriport can store the FHIR data and raw docs coming from our API in whatever solution they wish - including the Google FHIR storage! Everything is standardized to FHIR R4, so syncing to another backend is straightforward.

In fact, a customer of ours recently used this OSS solution to sync Metriport data to their Google cloud: https://github.com/google/fhir-data-pipes
>Through high-level contacts I had at Microsoft I was asked to file a vulnerability report – the drop-down list of affected products on Microsoft's web page didn't even include Copilot. I selected "Other," reported the flaw, and a day later heard back from their security team:

>>"We've looked over your report, and what you're reporting appears to be a bug/product suggestion, but does not meet the definition of a security vulnerability."

>That left me wondering whether Microsoft's security team knows enough about LLM internals and prompt attacks to be able to grade a potential security vulnerability. Perhaps – but I got no sense from this response that this was the case.

I'm sympathetic with the author. He doesn't trust the boilerplate response he got. Calling it a "product suggestion" doesn't inspire confidence even if I understand why they'd call it that.

I think that the author doesn't understand what happened, but it must look concerning to them. Maybe it started outputting code as babble because more LLMs have been trained with that? That could be concerning without coding experience, especially if the words that the author can understand sound important or relevant to the LLM itself.
I'm fairly certain EtOH causes depression directly because an antidepressant I take now feels exactly like a hangover whenever I miss a dose and sleep.

I can't find the link, but I believe I read Russian doctors claiming that drones were now the #1 cause of battlefield infantry injuries.
I think there's a lot of people that drink a glass of wine at dinner maybe? They're not by any means alcoholics but would be included in that 5%, which seems expected I guess.
Just like with any substance - daily use increases tolerance of the substance and it's side effects. This includes "hangovers" for habitual over-indulging drinkers... they don't get hangovers like someone who drinks occasionally and then overdoes it at a party.
I think this is quibbling over the definition of "impersonator"?

I think the most plausible thing that happened is that they thought "hey it would be so awesome to have an AI voice companion like the one in Her, and we can totally do that with these new models", and then auditioned and hired someone that sounded like that.

Does it not fit the definition of "impersonator", since they didn't explicitly tell the person the hired to impersonate the voice from the movie? Sure, fine, I guess I'll give it to you.

But it doesn't refute "they wanted to use a voice that sounded like the one in Her", and there are a number of indications the this was indeed the case.
Yes, and to use alternatives there is no need for WebAssembly.
That's a valid concern, and with a classical centralized DB the Edge solution will not be faster in many cases, especially considering how many DB requests some ORMs like Drupal or Wordpress need for each page load...

Some other providers have tried to solve the problem with replicated databases that are used for local reads.

I can't go into details yet, but Wasmer will offer a solution for this problem quite soon as well, which hopefully will be much more seamless than existing strategies.

I'm excited to share Fuji-Web, an open-source AI web agent designed to automate various web tasks.

I had this idea of using vision-LLM to build web agent project in Nov 2023 when GPT-4V was just released.
I'm so proud the interesting idea has evolved into a state-of-the-art Web Agent. (You can find benchmarks in the blog post.)

We started this research because we wanted to find out how far away we are from having an LLM-based assistant that's capable of navigating the complex real world. It turns out if you are able to narrow down the problem and give clear instructions, we are almost there!

> The Sky voice is in a different pitch, doesn't have the vocal fry, doesn't have the slightly nasal tone.

In the sample you linked to you're correct, but in this sample the vocal fry is present and in fact quite pronounced:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vgYi3Wr7v_g

I can't hear the nasal tone in either voice, but the video linked above sounds much closer to Johansson's than the sample the reddit poster chose. It's definitely not a home run, though.
I really like your point (I'm one of bbchallenge maintainers). I think that Discord is close to optimal for us in the short term, but bad for the reasons you and other have mentioned mid/long term.
They say this:

> You can create a Kagi account with any email address including a fake one (we do not care or verify it, it is just an id for logging in)

But seeing how they didn't go the Mullvad way, and instead chose to ask for an email during signup and hide this bit of info in a completely separate page, doesn't sit too well with me and comes off as a little bit dishonest (they say they don't need this info but sure seems to me they seem to want to have it).

And part of the message I get from reading their F.A.Q. is that a valid email address might start being required at any time soon.

Sure, they would have payment information anyway, but if searches are also linked to email address, that means companies that offer free services can try to buy this information about their free users. So even if you don't pay for, say, Discord, they can still be interested in the searches that are linked to the email address you signed up with.

The difference in privacy between Mullvad and Kagi is not even that much since both are paid services; but Mullvad can get my money and a good chunk of my internet activity, while Kagi doesn't get either from me.

Look, I don't mind too much paying for stuff. And even if I'm paying, I wouldn't even care[1] if I get non-intrusive non-tracking ads (i.e. just text, or first-party <img> tags) related to stuff that I don't delete from my search history. Show me ads for anime figurines, or new releases of light novels, or nice notebooks, or shops selling plants, or computer parts, or a new Steam Deck, stuff like that. I would even help fine tune the ads if it means I get better recommendations (or fewer bad ones, at least).

But it's these kinds of mixed signals, like trying to project an image of offering better privacy than what's common[2] while also doing the email address thingy, that give me a lot of pause when I'm evaluating a service.

[1]: I'm aware my stance on ads is unusual here in HN. I wouldn't disable my adblocker, but if done right, I wouldn't need to. I haven't gone out of my way to block HN frontpage ads (yet), for example.

[2]: That's the subjective impression I got, which might be wrong. The rest of my comment was written based on this.

I'd suggest everyone go read the issue thread (https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11470) before commenting.

It seems abundantly clear that people are being overly negative about a feature that realistically has no security concerns (even as originally developed). Many commenters did not even know how the feature worked (assumed all keystrokes were being sent by default, etc...)

One outright said that the feature should be removed because the developer must "stand against OpenAI and the whole "AI" industry."

To me this just seems like a lot of people whining and trying to inject politics and unfounded safety concerns into a good implementation of something that many people like. This is an opt-in feature. It has a separate panel to even interact with it. And you need to provide a valid openai API key to use it.

Honest question, how was your experience with getting funding on an open source product within healthcare? My experience so far is that the field is, as you put it, 30 years back, also in terms of business models.
Good questions. The OS releases were the most successful in the company's history.

It lasted until we got bought (the price of success) and the old-mill buyer installed drones to crush moral and productivity. They had no idea how an engineering company worked.
