That kind of sounds like saying that talking about "electricity" is superfluous when describing how chemical batteries work, because it's all about ions.

Yeah, sure... but both are totally relevant?
I was hoping God smote the Philistines for trying to use distributed, global, mutable state. :(

This article is a strawman arguing against a purist extreme and how it cannot work while denying real oligopolies already exist: Amazon, Walmart, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, and Alibaba. AI/ML isn't a panacea, but it will gradually be applied to automate, commodify, and replace human labor pervasively seemingly with minimal limitations. The future will be a further expansion of power law-like distribution of wealth to a few trillionaires while the middle- and lower-classes remain taxed, indebted, and impoverished.

what phist wrote. Color code the backgrounds of your servers, different colors. So anyone who connects to 'take console' in any system is hit by a blinding electric Green/Blue/Red/Yellow and other striking colors.

I assume that all systems already have descriptive names App_DEV_Server1, App_PROD_Server5, etc.

It also helps if (ofc they would be right??) in separate IP groups/WLANS?

If you are running Windows, it's a good idea to use BGINFO.exe by SysInternals (or Winternals as we old people still call it), and display the most relevant info (showing Dev/Prod/UAT/etc.) with big-big-big letters.
"healthier"... lol

I must be the only one on HN who finds GPT4/GPT4o extremely useful and use it multiple times/day for different things.

I'm aware of its limitations and work around its limitations. For example, I'm not going to blindly push the code it gives me without checking it carefully and testing it. I'm not going to completely trust the legal document that it generates for me but I will use it for the first draft and ask it questions.

ChatGPT is excellent for tasks that are on the low end of the risk spectrum but are tedeous.
Next you're going to tell me health and safety laws increase prices?

What about environmental protections?

Do you think that drivers licenses increased prices too? What about vehicle safety and inspection standards?
"- Firefox's html parser is written in Java and converted to C++ at build time."

This is surprising. Is it really true in the sense that the code that parses the HTML in a regular Firefox install was autoconverted when it was built?
Just checking - have you considered switching projects, with your next project being social engineering your sales? (Cold turkey switch, not "let me get these features added, before I switch projects" etc.)

Its quite possible you have thought of this, but I cant be sure. If you have thought or acted on it, how long were you able to sustain it?

Being able to switch your obsession is something we are able to do, but it does require time and thinking.
Any unit test or integration test that has to create two records in that table would have failed.
I think the problem here is Kafka and not event driven architecture.
I am a strong proponent of not using Kafka for events. It's wrong 90% of the time and for the other 10% you can find better solutions.

Also, people need to understand that "event driven" has nothing to do with "event sourcing". Just don't keep all the events until eternity, because you can (and because some people think you should because "kafka").
In case you tried with mobile, it's not yet properly mobile adopted, desktop version is quite advanced though. You can create unlimited boards, unlimited docs&Files tool, which is designed to organize files, upload, create in place.
I'm not sure yet, but I might consider it in the future
Also having grown up in Denmark in the late 80's, I definitely had some of the same experiences; my school was built in the late 30's/early 40's, so not built for the cold war (but was reportedly used as the local Nazi HQ during WW2). But I can definitely recognize that a lot of 60's and 70's architecture was dual-purpose.

Kulturministeriet (The Danish agency for Culture and Palaces) has a great section on the Cold War ("Kold Krig" in Danish) at https://slks.dk/omraader/kulturarv/bevaringsvaerdige-bygning.... (Google Translate: https://slks-dk.translate.goog/omraader/kulturarv/bevaringsv...).

There'a also a book, Kold Krig, which is available as a PDF at https://slks.dk/fileadmin/publikationer/Kulturarv/Kold_Krig_... (but I can't make Google translate ... translate)

I don't think that place inspired 1984; reverse the arrows: the place was a result of the thinking that led to 1984's "Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism".

Orwell had tried joining the proletariat for their franchise, but Blair's habitus always gave him away (see "The Spike"). His nonfiction ("Ode to...", "Atom bomb...") suggests he had no reason to believe that Airstrip One would also not turn Stalinesque[0] (at worst), and his upbringing gave him every reason to believe it was (already) run like an English boarding school in macrocosm; either way Jura would've been an insular escape.

(if one reads Maugham's Sanatorium as a reflection on the small world of great power helvetic intelligence and counter-intelligence during the Great War[1], then could Jura "for one's health" have been a better way to come in from the cold than a large, formal, institution?)

[0] Might Blair have had any reason to believe that someone, somewhere, might've had a sawed-off ice axe with Orwell's name on it?

[1] I was just reading something the other day where during that period Swiss authorities had at first, upon discovery of an arms cache, thought they'd uncovered an Indian Anarchist plot to arm Italian Anarchists, only to eventually discover there was an English double agent fomenting the whole thing...

Cheer's for the response, both forms are entertaining but I fear I'd mistake neither for work by the author of An Béal Bocht, The Third Policeman, and At Swim-Two-Birds.

It's not just language style that requires capture, or rather a particular style of smashing two languages together in a steam bath, it's also a manner of logic tangential to both the norm and to Spike Milligan.

Lesson number two: if you cannot avoid dealing with multiple states, consider monkey patching. The result might resemble an eldritch horror, but at least it will work.
I'm probably somewhat autistic and introverted in that I often don't care (much) about other people's opinion unless backed by fact proving I am wrong.

Societal niceties are difficult to navigate as I just can't predict the effects of what people do as a consequence of what I say and personal opinion may not be grounded in fact.

For example the job interview, technically I have no issues at all, but initially I did not know the "right" way to behave in them, and I would come across arrogant (statement of fact comparing oneself's achievements to others invariably tend to do this).
I expected to be hired based on technical merit and that I am generally amenable.

I wasn't hired until I started manipulating the interview, faux humble, quiet, hiding smaller achievements, exactly the kind of thing you're taught in school is the opposite of what to do.

I'd also investigate the interviewers to find out their interests and hobbies for leverage e.g. they like paint balling, ok, I don't do that but I can use some of their common phrases in parlance "by accident" and without giving away my background research on the interviewer.

I shouldn't have to do this, and I despise it (mainly from resentment of the process) but the results speak for themselves.
In 4 interviews since I started it I've landed all 4 jobs.

Side note: I'm wondering what will happen with this comment will people downvote because it's showing I'm manipulative in interviews, or up vote due to agreement / feeling the same way. Obviously I want the latter as I like points, but society (perhaps not community) tends to go the other way when you speak uncomfortable truths.

And yet the more effort we put into mental health the worse it gets.
A Linux laptop that lasts long, with a hidpi display, decent CPU, and 5G connectivity would be a great deal. I hope this pans out.

Probably no support for kernel dev on MacOS, which may be the reason, but I don't see any mention that gcc can be installed on MacOS with for example brew.
Why did you write that? You come across as insensitive, and likely someone who hasn't put the effort to understand the comment and the context.

It's far too easy to conclude that you aren't heeding your own advice. Was this some next level attempt to show what being a bully magnet looks like?

I don't understand.
Quite frankly I am amazed at how creative the whole product and its manual was. Everything in it could have been done to approximately the same level of precision with less effort using a slide ruler, which was a commonplace item at the time.

It's quite instructive as a lesson in product development.
The way you want to build and lead an engineering team is so that the individual engineer’s approach to the problem doesn’t matter. The idea is to establish deployment safety and ops mechanisms so Type 2 isn’t even possible and your Sr. Engineers coach the jr. engineers in how to use these mechanisms effectively through training and runbooks. The idea of COE is to figure out what mechanisms (availability tests, metrics/alarms, logs, unit tests) were missing so that you can fill those gaps.

I got the same information going though the company LinkedIn.

As you mentioned a couple of things can go wrong with barrel jacks, which is my point. With let’s say display cables it either connects or not.
>Yes it can write SQL but does it understand the index strategy on the destination table or the consequences of running thousands of those queries a minute in a production database? No.

It does if you instruct it well enough.

We're still really early and companies are figuring out how to best use it. It's been 1 year since GPT4 was released. We didn't invent the lightbulb, electric motor, telephone, radio, refrigerators etc. until many years after the invention of electricity.

Right now, LLMs are very useful for many tasks. Over time, they'll continue to get more useful and inventions will be built on top of them.
During an electric car expo where my former employer showcased their battery-powered EV chargers, bypassers asked several times if we used AI to control the batteries.

I think “AI” is indistinguishable from “computer programming” for the general public.
Show HN: The First Industry Standard for B2B Trust
Let me ask you this, would you share sensitive data with a company without knowing if they can protect it?

No, right?

Because trust is missing. In order to trust them, you must assess their privacy and security postures.

The problem is, that the current assessments process broken - it’s manual, repetitive and resource intensive.

Annually, small and medium businesses spend an avg. 2.1 million euros on evaluating third parties, and companies being evaluated spend an avg. 1.9 million on completing those assessments. You can imagine that for enterprises, those numbers are much higher.

As European regulations require vendor assessments and new global privacy laws are being aligned to the EU, this process will become even more challenging.

hoggo is here to solve that with an AI powered solution that automates privacy and security assessments for both sides: Sellers can improve and showcase compliance and buyers can evaluate, manage and monitor them.

Our platform is live and if you are facing compliance bottlenecks as sellers or having difficulties in assessing and monitoring your third-parties, we would LOVE your feedback and are open to pilot customers.
I really dislike this argument, because it puts the duty of managing dependencies and requirements directly on code. This is organizational issue!

First, if your event (or whatever) changes enough that there are inter-component breakages it means engineering requirements must have changed and tracing dependencies of requirements is organizational thing.

Second, you either do trunk based development and constantly break downstream or do leaf based development and have constantly out of date core dependencies. In any case, that's release version management, which is again organizational thing.
What about second firewalls ?

Hobbit jokes aside, yes, it pokes holes in the firewall on the machine hosting docker. It generally creates a lot of firewall rules to isolate or permit traffic to/from containers and expose ports.

Your "safest" bet is probably to only expose docker containers on the localhost interface, and use a reverse proxy (Nginx/Traefik/etc) to expose services. At least that's how i did it when i last ran Docker a few years ago.

Independent of section 240 or other laws, I would argue that search engine operators are content publishers as soon as we don't know how they choose the order of the results. Same for social media feeds.

Curating is a form of publishing, and following an algorithm is not curating per se, but, if that algorithm is non-transparent, and unknown to the user, it is the same end result...
Great tip, thanks. I just did a test rescale on one server, very smooth automated process with only a few seconds downtime.

He's in an influential leadership spot with the potential to change the course of human history for the better in some ways and maybe for the worse for others, but the nature of each will vary depending on sometimes unknowable side-effects of decisions made in the course of the execution of this venture. Consider the predicament of early nuclear physicists and nuclear engineers around the time of the Manhattan Project.
I was going to say it's expensive, but it's actually not outrageously more expensive than the current going rate for olive oil. It's $11/liter at Costco. Their refill can comes out to be around $20/liter. It's supposed to be a premium product so it's not out of my expectations.

Olive oil in general is just much more expensive after the recent droughts. I vaguely remember 6 liters of olive oil coming out to around $30 at Costco pre-drought, so prices have roughly doubled. But hey, I see nearly 2000 reviews on their Sizzle Oil, so I guess they must offer a good enough product for people to stomach the 2x drought price on top of the 2x premium product price.
Oh yeah, show your ableism. I am sure you can tell me tons of things about my life I haven't understood yet. Thanks for being "the one to break it" to me. Me, being so totally uninvolved with the topic at hand, would have never see that coming.

Hazel - for file automation

Dropover - Any file you are dragging, just wiggle it and a little shelf shows up where you can put it temporarily

Shottr/Cleanshot - For markup and pinning info on the screen

I also use quite a lot of my own written software

ScreenMemory - It's similar to Rewind/Recall (but without AI), I revisit days before standups and retrospectives

Monkey Notes - Sticky notes that attach to application windows

DevControls - Basically a list of repositories with shortcuts, this is a reimplementation of scripts I used to have in BitBar/xbar/SwiftBar (which in themselves are amazing applications)

I also have a custom fork of the much recommended Rectangle with some more mouse driven interactions that I've been using for almost two years.
Ask HN: How did you hack, back in the old days?
In my school we were using Novell NetWare. I wrote a login-screen in QBasic that mimicked the Novell one. Got the administrator to enter the credentials. Saved in a text file. Then I had amin access and rebooted all computers. Meaningless I know, but it was fun!

What were some of your hacker tricks back in the day? I got plenty more stories to tell if there’s any interest.
They might be doing it differently, but Ecosia uses Bing and have really good localized search, at least for Denmark. There is very little difference between Google and Bing these days, if anything I'd say Bing is the better search engine.

I have yet to find another producer that has the same build quality. If you know a product that can compete, please inform me, as i would ultimately want to have a linux setup.
I was reading The Hacker's Mind by Bruce Schneier and he relays an experiment where a clearly imperfect navigation robot gives wrong directions to people repeatedly. Then a simulated emergency occurs, and the robot changes to saying "follow me to the exit" basically and points to a dark room instead of the routes the people took just minutes before, and despite having experienced the robot doesn't navigate well, people tend to follow the robot's instructions.
We do things that don’t make sense all the time. The idea that our lives and plans should be dominated entirely by rational decisions only itself makes sense if you’re willing to expand rational to include the likes of “because it’s there” and “because I felt like it”.

That said, given the unknowns and uncertainties, I believe it’s rational to devote some small amount of our resources to trying to achieve multiple sustainable off-earth communities, including in orbit, on the Moon, and yes, on Mars.

I think of the most interesting aspects of Apple and AI is the fact that they will use OpenAI's models.

I used to think that OpenAI would like to compete with Apple one day by changing the entire OS into a giant LLM. We got a hint of this when ChatGPT was big on its 3rd party apps and Function Calling. They may still have that goal but it's not realistic in 2024. But in the mean time, they have to compete with Google because Google can/will integrate their LLM models directly into Android - which means billions of people worldwide will use Google's LLMs. OpenAI needed a way to compete. It makes a ton of sense then that OpenAI would partner with Apple to distribute their models into billions of devices instantaneously. Apple also needs OpenAI because they're probably many years behind.

For Apple, I assume they will get OpenAI's models directly instead of calling OpenAI's API which runs on Azure. Apple will likely need to build its own AI infrastructure to inference OpenAI's models for its billions of devices and they'll likely to market it with privacy features that ChatGPT don't bother with right now.

I suspect that Apple will integrate smaller LLM models that can run on a tiny iPhone SoC NPU and make them free. Then they'll charge for Apple Intelligence Pro that does most of the inference in the cloud.

One of my questions for Apple, if my speculation is correct, is how are they going to launch a service that inferences a model as large as GPT4 for their billions of devices worldwide? They didn't invest in server NPUs like Google did with their TPUs. They can't buy nearly enough Nvidia GPUs because they're supply constrained. They can't possibly use M2 Ultras because it's suboptimal for AI inferencing and very expensive to manufacture (134 billion transistors & glue 2x Max dies together).

Perhaps Apple will only launch the service in the US first and charge a subscription for the GPT4-backed AI features. I don't see any other way Apple could scale so quickly.

I did not think the Apple/OpenAI marriage would happen but it makes a lot of sense for both companies after some thought.
Now if only we can reliably 3D print the gears also, and ensure they still work well with other pieces.
