Final addendum, I think the ability to introspect a GraphQL schema is going to be a really important feature when building LLM based systems

There's several reasons why this may be:

1. Most of the data might be junk, and so it's just not worth it

2. They want paying customers, paying customers don't want this, so they don't offer it for paying customers

3. It's really, really hard to annotate data effectively at that scale. The reason why Reddit data is being bought is because it's effectively pre-annotated. Most users don't follow up with chat responses to give feedback. But people absolutely provide answers and upvotes on forums.
CISA can analyze flow on backbones and (I presume) the various branches of partner domestic ISP networks. It's one way they track down botnet C2 nodes. What does this mean? It means the fact you accessing a hidden service is no longer hidden from the state. While the content may be encrypted, CISA could tap on the pipe with a wrench at a known HS node and see what pipeline in the mix rings on the other end (my cute way of describing adding delays and interrupts to a stream so those show up as recognizable fingerprints to scan for elsewhere, like a cable finder/tester). Combine in some techniques on analyzing payload sizes and order, and some decent guesses of the content can be formulated.

Only way I can think to defeat the analysis is to make a mixnet which asks for a GB/month target and simply transmits either data or padding uniformly in time with all nodes it peered with (a much much smaller subset than the whole network). Padding should be multi-hop so immediate neighbor nodes can't tell what is encrypted traffic and what is encrypted padding.
To some degree, sure, but I'm suggesting a productized client.

I envision an IDE with separate windows for collaborative discussions. One window is the dialog, and another is any resulting code as generated files. The files get versioned with remarks on how and why they've changed in relation to the conversation. The dev can bring any of those files into their project and the IDE will keep a link to which version of the LLM generated file is in place or if the dev has made changes. If the dev makes changes, the file is automatically pushed to the LLM files window and the LLM sees those changes and adds them to the "conversation".

The collaboration continually has "why" answers for every change.

And all of this without anyone digging into models, python, or RAG integrations.
I don't think that's accurate. At least, I personally know a few people who make their living by writing. I don't personally know any billionaires.

But the thing the successful authors I know have in common is that they don't use only one way to publish and sell their writing. None of them only write books, for instance.

What they do is take a piece of writing they've done and repackage and sell it in a number of different forms in a number of different places. Sections of a book can be published separately on web sites, for instance. When I've talked with these authors, it becomes clear that selling the same writing multiple times in multiple channels is a key part of making a living doing it.
> seems like a major relationship booster

Not in my experience. Drugs of any kind usually cause your partner to feel too distant from the "real you". Drug use may also indicate a lack of confidence and inability to handle mundane situations.

Being an unreliable partner has to be one of the top relationship killers regardless of drug use.

> kinder to people as well as letting go of small petty things

I may be misunderstanding what you're saying here, but relationships should be way deeper than just being kind to each other. Disagreements are only as bad as the way they're handled. They need to be worked out early or the disappointment and irritation will only get worse. Burying your head in the sand doesn't sound like a good strategy.
The Bay Area already has a ton of rail transit, the local land use is just terrible. Single family homes by Muni, BART, CalTrain and VTA abound.
What do you think about Cubans keeping cars from 1950s running for as long as they did? It seems to me that maybe we live in a society that is overly permissive of replacing items.
27 years for me. Started with FrontPage 1997, with extensions for Apache on Linux! Then I wrote a PHP site with Smarty. Then I wrote a Rails app. Then I moved to Wordpress. Given that I've done another 15 years writing Rails apps, I should rewrite it in the new Rails 7/8.

Because I use a ton of 3rd-party JS libraries which don't work well with Turbo, I'm kind of stuck with Rails 6 with turbolinks disabled on my main project. I've been looking for some reason to get to grips with the new additions, and I think I just talked myself into it.
Probably adding to the confusion in some circles is that past open hardware designs were basically the VERILOG files--an approach that tuned out not to be very useful from a collaboration perspective. The analogs between hardware and software are not exact.
The fact that I can downloaded it and run it myself is a pretty meaningful amount of openness to me. I can easily ignore their bogus claims about what I'm allowed to do with it due to their distribution model. I can't necessarily do the same with a propriety service, as they can cut me off if the way I use the output makes them sad :(
I’m imagining a Dilbert comic a company composed of self organized employees, all working from home, with a four day work week and amazing benefits with the comfort of no non competes, taking a long term view on creating shareholder value.
Unsymbolized is a weird choice of term. I specifically mostly think without words and cannot form "realistic photo" images in my head, but I am most definitely using symbols.

If I have to make a considered choice from multiple alternatives, I can imagine[1] them as undescribable objects (not anything matching the real world) imbued with all their meanings, and I can observe their properties such as one is cheaper and the other takes longer as if they were properties like weight or color, and I can mentally rearrange them around in a virtual space. These things are clearly symbols representing the alternatives.

[1]: Visualize seems like the wrong word. These things might not have actual shapes, colors, etc. Spatialize?
Could you provide a few examples of CEOs bearing responsibility in practice?

And just to be clear: I don't think we should be considering paying yourself an obscenely high exit bonus after you fucked up as "bearing responsibility".
Couldnt the same be done in powerpoint?

If you send it to someone to read it later, do they have to wait for all the animations to load? That sounds frustrating.
There are a lot of problems with making this argument, though. Ultimately our government lacks the necessary powers. Remember, those people travelled to Ottawa with the stated mission of overthrowing the Government. They also used their horns in a densely populated area, which an ENT doctor confirmed exposed the citizens of Downtown Ottawa to volumes that can damage the inner ear. This is without taking into consideration those with disabilities, like Autism, which can make such sensations exceptionally difficult.

Then things get super messy when you start to look at how the province deals with indigenous populations, their protests, versus a group of white nationalists attempting to overthrow the Government.

The fact the emergency powers were used, to me, are a symptom of a broken system.

Either way, opposing political powers are jumping all over the opportunity to leverage the situation for their own gain.

I'm so sick of politics. They are all dishonest. No matter what, we lose.
I mean they are not as bad as PayPal until they start seizing tens to hundreds of thousands of funds, but yeah any payment provider or financial institution is going to be finnicky if you aren't fitting into norms.
I'm talking about stuff like paved roads to your door, free paved parking lots, and connections to the city's sewer system and electrical grid. We expect the city to pay for maintaining these things, but the taxable economic activity in suburban/rural areas isn't enough to cover these liabilities in the long-term.
If they use emacs as the web browser, quite likely.

My dad spent a couple years basically using it as his standard OS while consulting. Couldn't guarantee what software a company required, but if everything was done through emacs, he'd have no problem setting it up to his liking.

Emails, builds, etc. I think this was before the web browser was up to snuff though. I never quite got into it at that level, but the power users easily demonstrate the value of knowing a powerful system very well.
BestBuy set for 10th straight quarter of sales drop on weak electronics spending
I'm not much of a user myself, but my two brothers were heavy users and the difference between how it affected them was profound.

One brother seemed to need weed to function daily. He struggled at school, never got a real job, and smoked weed every waking hour. He was hitting the bong first thing in the morning. I think he eventually got bored with weed and started using other drugs including prescription pain killers. He became paranoid and psychotic and eventually started pointing guns at police officers. He is now dead sadly, and I wonder every day if I could have intervened in a meaningful way to prevent this.

The other brother is smart. Engineer smart. He designs his own motorcycle racing mods, built an e-commerce site for a Harley Davidson dealership which eventually took over as the principal money earner for the business (until Harley cracked down on 3rd party sellers). When he smoked weed it seemed to quiet his mind and even inspire him - he could work for an inhuman number hours once properly loaded with THC. His boss new he was a regular user and tipped him whenever a random drug test was in the works. Then one day, my brother deliberately failed the test. At that point he seemed to have a mental breakdown and his life has been in a downward spiral ever since. He lives in a school bus with all the seats removed (no other mods). He struggles with poverty.

My general attitude is that THC should be legal, but it is not as harmless as advertised. Occasional recreational use seems fine, but some people who use it to self-medicate may eventually have a reckoning. I still say THC is less harmful than alcohol.
You probably also need that for the AI as well though

The total valued does not include the significant time of finding an equivalent vehicle at that price in the rough and tumble used car market.

It also does not price in the significant risk that a used car of this vintage significant undisclosed defects that are hard to detect by inspection at purchase.
Dreams being experience without direct physical input is an equally valid criticism of the article from the opposite direction — the possibility of an LLM (or indeed an image generator) having the qualia of an experience without ever having really experienced any such thing, just as the other night I had a dream about having 5 rows of extremely brittle and hollow teeth.

(Or 10 years back, a dream where I saw the whole universe from the outside).
It wasn't that long ago that protests shut down Canada's entire rail system, for almost twice as long as the Trucker protest lasted. It paralyzed a lot of movement of products across our country and caused shortages in a lot of places. It was much more of an actual problem nation-wide than truckers disrupting the downtown of a single city

The rail protests had international implications too

So if that wasn't enough to invoke the emergency act then it's hard for me to imagine why the Truckers were

Only bones were interred in the catacombs.
You've shifted the goalposts here. You're right that this all comes down to economics. You're not going to go to these lengths to break into a Facebook account -- however -- you have to remember that there is a lot of transitive trust nowadays.

So that Facebook account may allow you federated login to something you do care about. Or your Facebook account is the front page for your business, where a defacement or outage could cost you thousands of $$$. Or you reused your Facebook account's password as the password for your email, which probably was the recovery email for every online account you have... meaning you can now log into every service given access to your email.

Real security is about threat modeling and risk mitigation. Risk mitigation is simply the application of a rough economic model of both the attacker and defender to find a median where you are comfortable. Essentially a fancy way of determining how fast you need to run so that the bear eats the slower person first. Your example is apt- the grandma who is scammed out of $1000 is running much slower than the grandmas who were not, all things being equal.

So when it's "just" a Facebook account on the line, yes, nobody is going to go through massive effort to crack it. But that's not what the original post was about - it was about unlocking millions of $$ worth of Bitcoin. That's worth some effort. Remember also that, in this story, the person who retrieved the password does not end up with 100% of the proceeds, as you would in an adversarial scenario. In the adversarial scenario, the adversary's risk calculus is vastly different and they would be willing to spend a lot more effort (time, money, resources) into cracking that password.

I wonder if GDPR fines will get issued. If so hopefully the EU slaps on some processing fees and digital delivery fees and some admin fees and some notification fees on top of the fines.
Show HN: Serverless Postgres
This is a MVP for Serverless Postgres.

1/ It uses Fly.io[0], which can automatically pause your database after all connections are released (and start it again when new connections join).

2/ It uses Oriole[1], a Postgres extension with experimental support for S3 / Decoupled Storage[2].

3/ It uses Tigris[3], Globally Distributed S3-Compatible Object Storage. Oriole will automatically backup the data to Tigris using background workers.

I wouldn't recommend using this in production, but I think it's in a good spot to provoke some discussion and ideas. You can get it running on your own machine with the steps provided - connecting to a remote Tigris bucket (can also be an AWS S3 bucket).

You could build this now, using gpt-4 (or any of the top few models) and a whole bunch of surrounding systems. It would be difficult to pull off, but there is not technology change required.

If you build it you'll need to be digging into models, python and various pieces of "RAG" stuff, but your users wouldn't need to know anything about it.

I passed 20 years in December and wrote this about it: https://loufranco.com/blog/it-was-20-years-ago-today

I don't have a lot of readers, but the blog opened some doors for me (and continues to).
A new post in what is slowly becoming a series! Happy to discuss this or answer any questions here.
That lot in Baltimore is a vehicle processing lot for the Port of Baltimore. Cars manufactured overaseas usually come by boat and delivered to places like that. The lot they're referencing is owned/managed by Wallenius Wilhelmsen which specializes in this RoRo style of logistics that are common with overseas car shipping. They'll sit there for a short period of time as all the customs work takes place and then shipped out all over the country after by rail or truck. Seeing a single snapshot in Google Maps of hundreds of new cars tells you nothing, you'd have to actually analyze how long those cars are staying there.

Seeing a lot with a lot of new cars with delivery wrap still on Google Maps isn't indicative of some new car graveyard, its just showcasing the ignorance of how car imports work. What, did they think a car manufacturing plant in Germany just suddenly teleports cars into dealer lots in the US? Did they think they were delivered by plane?
Interesting this is marketed for $500k as a "One Time Sale" (1)

Ah yes, karma, that legendary force which revenges itself upon evil businesses like Ticketmaster by checks notes exposing the personal and financial information of their unwilling customers.
Agree on the first.

In theory (and I think in practice), the second is priced into the used car market already.
I wouldn’t be so optimistic that most CEOs deliver any value.
That probably has more to do with the display you're viewing the image on than the actual capture.
I agree with you. What I've done in the past (and continue to do with new projects) is write a database-backed test that:

- applies migrations

- parses the resulting schema

- finds all foreign key references: ref{tableA columnA -> tableB columnB}

- finds all the indexes: index{tableA columnA [columnB...]}

- checks that there is an explicit index for every reference column: index{tableA columnA} must exist

So basically, by default when you add a new foreign key, the tests fail until you either explicitly add an exception OR create the necessary index. Easy.

This strategy is also really nice for linting other relational properties in your database. For instance, for GDPR/CCPA/correctness purposes, you probably want to prevent deletion of certain rows unless it's done by specialized code with an audit log. These kinds of lints can check to make sure that there are no ON DELETE CASCADE foreign keys from those tables that would result in a surprise deletion. You can also check to make sure that foreign keys are either ON DELETE CASCADE, ON DELETE SET NULL, or explicitly covered by custom deletion code.
I feel sad saying this: I don't think it's right, but I worry less and less about these as time goes on; Not because I don't think it sucks, but because my information has been in so many breaches up to this point that I'm not sure what value there is left in any data that might appear in subsequent breaches.
There are countries that have discouraged big business and encouraged small business instead.

The result is low levels of prosperity, because big business drives the wealth creation in the economy. Small businesses are needed, too, as they fill in the gaps and are the future big businesses.

An economy made up of cottage businesses and local artisans handweaving baskets just cannot produce the kind of wealth that is produced from efficiencies of scale.

An artisan made car would cost $1 million each.
Did you read it? Or anything I wrote? A word appearing in print with a vastly different meaning for the first time in the 50's does not imply "common usage since the 50's". It then briefly reappears in the 80's in a film (with a different meaning), and then surging with the modern meaning in the 00's is what the article said, if you were having trouble comprehending it or what I said.

Here I'll help:

> Around the time Urban Dictionary logged the term in 2004, it began circulating through different social groups on the internet. In the late 2000s, it was adopted by cosplayers and anime enthusiasts and used to describe people who liked what they considered basic anime or weren’t as passionate about anime. In 2012 normie gained popularity on the 4chan forums. Through the mid 2010s it was a staple on meme subreddits such as r/memeeconomy, usually accompanied by a Pepe meme. As normie proliferated 4chan, the online subculture of men called incels (involuntary celibate) began using it in conjunction with the term blue-pilled normalfag, which derides a man who spends time on male message boards but still gets dates or has a girlfriend or wife. Blue-pilled normalfag is closely associated with normie, though the latter slang has broader and less offensive uses.

Somehow I doubt it was used this way "commonly" since the 50's, but maybe I'm just crazy.

If you want to be a theist why stop at Christianity? Why prefer one religion over the other? Theism has existed thousands of years before Christ appeared and these theists had wildly different ideas about almost everything than what Christ taught. Makes you think, who is right?
21 years, here! This made me go back to find my first post[1] from August 2003. Oof.

It’s interesting how things have evolved over time. Started it in college, and it was random posts about activities, feelings, etc. A lot of more personal stuff.

Growing up, changing careers (and changing again and again), having kids… I find that my blog has gotten less personal and more just general knowledge sharing of things I find interesting.
