A LLM “called” VIC and a supporting team is running for mayor in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

This to me like the first virtual candidate for political office I’ve ran into.

Article phrasing sounds a bit like this is a “product” from OpenAi, but I think more accurately it is a team using OAI but the team has no links to OAI.
ADD has been renamed inattentive-type ADHD
I'm not quite sure what a UI to configure the terminal has to do with being a "viewer into the lower level" since they both run the system zsh and give the same output.

It sounds like it's more about the extra features being included than the "batteries". What features does a terminal emulator need other than "lets a user enter stdin and displays stdout/err"?
Ask HN: What are secrets to making money with SaaS?
I am dumbfounded to learn that some of the best products I have come across barely make money, whereas other products that make no sense are rolling in millions of revenue.

Can someone explain to me what is so special about Airtable or Flatfile.com that makes them so much money? What is it that developers can be build themselves that these products provide? I am more confused with Flatfile since anyone who know python or basics of javascript can build similar functionality within a week.

Therefore, my question is, how to find ideas and build products that make money?
Is there a BNF grammar of the TeX language? (2010)
Hah. "My" definition. Okay. That you don't see the purpose of NATO today, or the importance of smaller member states to the overall alliance, is reason enough to call it a day.
Theyre incentivized to serve any and all ads, if they are scammy illegal or otherwise google doesnt care because theyre insulated from any potential consequences.

I marvel every time I see people on HN talking about being served ads on youtube videos or elsewhere. You would think here of all places adblock would be standard.
One flap we know of, it is quite possible its counterpart suffered the same fate. No matter, the ship remained manoeuvrable and performed the landing flip even with half a flap - or half of two flaps - missing. That is valuable data which shows the thing can survive such damage without losing control. Now they'll need to find some way to better seal those hinge areas from the 20 minute plasma torch it is subjected to during re-entry.
That's interesting. You can also use books on public minecraft servers to store basically infinite amount of base64 encoded data for completely free if you already own the game. Besides the cow farm you'll need anyways for leveling and enchanintg you just have to make an infinite sugarcane farm. The most space efficient way is to have the soil pieces arranged in a "Z"-shaped Tetris piece around water sources, but a linear layout may be more time efficient during farming or when automating it.
I might have been thinking of one of the earlier shots that had some of the booster cameras. There's only ever two views of the upper stage.
> What is the upside of being autistic?

A strong sense of right and wrong, ability to use the outside lens on allistic societal structures, a rich internal experience, deep interests that actually give you something to talk about other than "the weather" and "the football" and gossip.

These can all, of course, be framed as downsides: difficulty acting immorally / being a bystander, tendency to confuse others in what "should" be formulaic social interactions, Theory of Mind® Deficit™ (#NotPseudoscience), "specific and limited interests" / deficit in "small talk" ability.
There's a series on Amazon Prime where a Brit actually travels the main Roman Roads in England, revisiting the history while he goes.

They actually demonstrate how they got the roads so straight.
They actually used some of the newest benchmarks including MixEval which seems to be in line with Lmsys crowdsourced ELO scores and super efficient to run.

Yeah. Reminds me of a funny one in France where a stolen car had a tracker and it's location, behind a garage door, was known. But the police was saying: "Nothing can be done".

Turns out: the owner of the car had a friend who was a farmer. He came up with a tractor and ripped the garage door apart.

That was his definition of "nothing can be done".

If motherfuckers play dirty, play dirty with the motherfuckers.
That's what I thought I did, but I can't, for example, just move to space 7 or something. I need to create a new space with a number I can't control and switch to that. That new workspace might not be next to the previous space I was working in, so I need to cycle through multiple spaces. Aerospace on the other hand just lets you choose a numbered workspace and work with that.

Would love to see your yabairc if you can share.
How so ?

I am using vimium and I don't know what you are talking about
I suppose it's like vim marks but couldn't find info about such a feature
Even since 1954, the changes have been enormous.

Medicine is radically better: some diseases eliminated entirely (smallpox), others reduced to manageable conditions (HIV), even novel pandemics get multiple vaccines within a few years; the first successful transplant was 1954, a kidney between two identical twins, because they didn't have a good way to do immunosuppression until 1970.

PV and batteries weren't impressive until suddenly each was a revolution.

Long-distance travel became cheap, widely accessible. My uncle moved to Australia (from the UK) to get away from his mum, my first trip abroad (aged, I think, 8) was to visit him.

Tech and computers enabled so many other things that I don't think it's reasonable to prefix them with an "except for". Even just going from 1954 to 2000 was approximately my Dad's career, and that included "we're sending you on a two day training course on this new thing called 'software'" (he worked for a UK defence contractor, writing simulation software for IFF radar systems).
I recently found a job posting that tested devs in a real environment: with access to the same tools you’d use in real life. No limits as long as you get it done in an hour. I immediately wanted to apply

RIP CentOS. Hello AlmaLinux Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream or RHEL
For games like Baldur's Gate 3 that means you can only have a handful of cloud save files, they are like from 10 to upwards 40 MBs each. And that's a game where a lot of people doing save/reloads for each fight, decision etc.

Also probably good time to mention Ludusavi, rclone based all in one save file backup system https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi
Show HN: Implementing CPU Logic into LLMs
For the past four months, we’ve been developing a framework that allows the creation of autonomous AI agents without programming.

Inspired by the control unit in classical processors and Von Neumann architecture, we see LLMs as complex ALUs but lacking a unit for handling complex prompt sequences, including loops. We implemented a prompt that acts as the central executive system, managing memory, directing attention, code interpreting, decision making and more.

This enables you to build any agent interactions like chains, graphs, dynamic prompts, loops, and apply various reasoning structures for each agent in minutes without programming.
1. He had a job with Chase in wealth management where the bank claims it didn’t properly vet him at the time.

2. He wasn’t able to keep the job after failing necessary licensure exams.

3. He applied for a low-six-figure salary marketing job and was accepted. They later rescinded the offer because they had canceled his business-related card ~8 years prior for, allegedly, not properly disclosing the nature of his business—something the bank will not clarify further, now, nor offered any reason for at the time—of which this guy didn’t push them on either.

4. The article states employment is not required by the bank and they may rescind offers or refuse to make offers for any reason.

5. The guy is pissed off that because the bank canceled his business credit card that he apparently used primarily for $1MM in flights to Middle Eastern countries he is not able to work for the company now.
i think you mean @sillysaurus' books3? not books4?
>I'm less happy to pay someone a tax just because they are rich and they did barely anything.

As the operator of a single validator node you can get out of here with that take. I'm using up very significant bandwidth, having to keep a computer running 24/7, updating node and OS software, troubleshoot it after a power or internet outage and at some point I will have to replace the SSD since it is constantly reading and writing and will need replacing after a few years.

Is it a full time job? Absolutely not, but is it free from responsibility? Definitely not. If anything, I could be making more than 3%pa elsewhere if I weren't also in it for ideological reasons.
This part is factually incorrect:

> The easiest way to set that standard wasn’t just to sell machines; it was to let other companies sell parts, software, and even whole computers that would be compatible with your machine. Unlike all of its major rivals—including the Apple II—the IBM PC was built with an open architecture.

The Apple II was effectively as open as the PC. And IBM didn't want clones any more than Apple did. Both the Apple II and the PC were eventually legally cloned, and neither company could do anything about it.
Oh, all of the stuff on the franchise that is actually that good are series.

They should be focused on profit, because they haven't made a profit in almost 5 years now and Boeing is a very important company to the US. If Boeing ends up going bankrupt, the US government will 100% have to bail it out.
Or early abortion if it's detectable in utero.

I'm so sorry to hear that your friend eventually had to sell his vacation home. Fuck that poor woman and her two kids, if they're so poor they should live on the streets in the dirt where they belong !
Honestly, that's absolutely crazy.
There’s no context given by the article and that may be the point but so little info is given about the exportation of high value electronics to Middle East during the Afghanistan war it’s hard to take anything at face value.

Did jpm have to give any reason at all here or could they just have broadly said the background check failed?

Of course he was! Doesn't mean that his proposed solution worked (or will ever work, though fingers are crossed).
I liked it but would suggest maybe changing the orientation so you can use left/right instead of up/down. i was playing way better once i rotated my keyboard so i could use two fingers
I pulled out of all clouds when it comes to my personal stuff recently (including streaming stuff, I just store music, movies and shows locally like I did 15 years ago). I didn't realize I missed the simplicity so much. Just back up your stuff every now and again and you're fine, no fees, no syncing, no requirement for a connection. Offline first. Storage is cheap as chips now so there's not much of a barrier for I imagine most people.
Billionaires and powerful politicians (and their parents and other loved ones) die of Alzheimer's too.

If it was just a big cartel conspiracy, you would see a different disease pattern when comparing the elites to everyone else.
This essentially can become a blood test for autism, or at least to identify babies at risk of autism, right?
Listen, while I broadly agree with your grander point (Britain wanting a war with Germany and taking any excuse given for it) your argument for this is flatly moronic; the assassination of the archduke was not Britain's pretext for entering the war! That was Austria-Hungary's pretext for invading Serbia. Britain's pretext was the German invasion of Belgium. Read a fucking book.
What if you want to live somewhere for less than 7 years / can't afford a mortgage and maintenance costs / the coop board doesn't personally like you / the coop board is racist and you're a minority?

It was for a 3D graphics programming job.

Another question was about some low level assembly performance instruction trick. Afterwards I did the same thing and tried to figure out which text book I would have had to read to know the answer. I only found one Computer Architecture book that mentioned the instruction and that wasn't the book I read in university.
Probably it was the extortion comment. You could also I guess call it an ultimatum.

But then again companies typically do shitty things to employees all the time because the company has the leverage. You've probably witnessed some of that yourself.

Sam Altman and OpenAI come to mind.

So I guess I don't understand what's changed about the relationship when the employee finds leverage to use against the company.
There isn't a huge price fixing case yet. We haven't seen the case and it certainly hasn't been won.

> Restrictions from government are supposed to be reflections of the voters will.

Yes, those voters are called NIMBYs.
In the US, the cost to raise a child 0-18 per the Brookings Institute (2022), is $310k. This does not include day care or college. Children are a luxury good in the current economic system config, plain and simple, and there is no will whatsoever to invest materially in moving the needle towards support for parents. And so, the TFR marches ever downward.

Future political reps might have the will to course correct, but the current folks will have to age out first.
The road retained its name in part of Silicon Valley, but the 101 follows the Camino Real as it continues south. There are commemorative markers.
That's what Doctorow calls "a cartoonish vision of markets in which “the customer is king” and successful businesses are those who cater to their customers." In reality, the capitalists also don't care, _when they can get away with it._

The Missing Missing Reasons (2015)
I recently left Google and I do miss blaze. I'm working on some stuff that's rust and wasm and typescript and there are containers and I'm very tempted to use bazel for basically correct caching and stuff.

But even as a xoogler I think that the common wisdom of "don't use bazel until you can afford a team" or "use bazel if you are the only developer" are probably right.

My somewhat janky series of dockerfiles and bash scripts is at least debuggable to my business partner.

I'm just not ready to commit our future frontend developers to having to use bazel yet.

I'm sort of sticking to a lowest common denominator technology stack for most things except where we are spending our innovation tokens in wasm land.

But someday, probably. In the meantime I may setup sccache.
> people will be LESS likely to invest in fixing up unliveable places.

Someone's still paying for the house flipping. By definition the flipper makes a margin between what they paid, the repairs, and the price they get at the end.

So why should we encourage house flipping instead of having howners buy the damaged property and pay for a renovation company ? Housing wise the end result is the same, minus the flipping.

If your argument is that the buyer converted a 4 person house into a 20 doors appartment, that's a better proposition, but they're also in a much more protected position and won't be bogged down by squating laws.
The big issue with these stories is getting huge chunks of you personal life ripped out from under you, bank accounts (in this case -> job offers) without explanation.
Is this supposed to be a joke or hyperbole?
overflow of unsigned integers is well-defined in C.

You're confusing it with overflow of signed integers.
It's not an illness at all- it's a neurodevelopmental disorder. Although not well understood, it involves physically measurable differences in brain development during childhood like the one this post is about, and cannot be treated with things like psychotherapy.
You must be thinking of the US dollar.
The SR-71 in the Richmond Science museum was even more impressive to me than the Saturn V. The thing is _huge_ with a tiny cabin.
I'm not angry, I'm simply pointing out that you place undue value on a name the vast majority of people don't care about.

What you're doing, explicitly, is placing more value on name than idea. A fallacy. I'm obviously not saying "worship of a minor deity" literally, but colloquially.

You're right, I can read it or not. Same with you, you can take valid criticism or ignore it and be all the poorer for it.

You can also continue admitting you have no rebuttal as you hyper-focus on the _diction of the conversation_ instead of the _conversation_, like how to define worship and idolatry in a casual conversation.
I can :o) But I completely agree, it's very non-obvious. It beggars belief that they haven't fixed that issue. Another poster suggested Krita - that's a good suggestion IMO (even thou I still like Gimp too)
As far as I understand, this isn't competing with Udio? It seems to be designed for creating sound effects and loops, not entire songs.
Pixelmator on macOS is decent.

If people are not willing to make trade-offs or sacrifices, this also means they don't care enough for companies to listen.
I think people angry about squatters are thinking that squatters are squatting for political reasons, because for people angry about squatters, this is a political issue.

For squatters, this isn't primarily a political issue, it's primarily a survival issue.

Squatting in the summer house of a CEO does solve your survival need for shelter, but it leaves a bunch of your other survival needs unmet because you're far away from, for example, grocery stores, and don't have the resources that the CEO has to have staff deliver and prepare your food. So I'd guess that's why squatters aren't targeting these properties.

The narrative that squatters are being disingenuous about their political beliefs because they squat the wrong homes is really just a tool to paint squatters as disingenuous political activists. The reality is that while squatters might hold political beliefs, few people would choose to squat if they had other housing options. It's not a secure housing situation. Most squatters are squatting out of necessity not political motivations.
Well, Apple employees don't actually live in Cupertino.

(I once went to a city council meeting where residents showed up and complained that new housing might allow Apple employees to live there and that they might be "too poor". Probably would be too.)
A job offer can be rescinded without reason given.

That said, if they know they don't like me, for no reason, I'd rather they rescind before starting than let me get comfortable and then decide to PIP me.
Flight attendant union rejects American Airlines' proposed 17% pay raise
The problem is that paradoxically, thicker shields can cause higher doses of radiation due to secondary radiation production. Theres a balance there to minimizing primary and secondary dosage but you cant really get it below a certain threshold without some form of active shielding. Theres a lot of promising ideas for active shielding but they all require alot of power. All this to say that someone on a trip to mars will indeed get a high dose and this is something that needs to be given thought. Its not an intractable problem but it is also not even close to being solved or trivial.

Folks on Mars is still quite a ways away. Not impossible or pointless by any means but it will require significant advancements in many domains before we can really do it safely.
I’m meeting you where you are, my friend.

Hope you have a nice rest of your day.
It's easy to say "this is old news" but as a non-expert, I have no idea if you are an expert, or just some random blowhard.

I did a quick search but, once again, as a non-expert, I have no idea what to search for and don't see any solid results showing one way or another. I didn't downvote you, but if you make a claim and back it up with an interesting link, that tends to do a lot better.
That both are just random dates? That borders shifted continuously for thousands and thousands of years, and were called different things?

How do you arbitrarily pick a point in time, and say "Oh, this is the point land was stolen!". It's absurd. The same thing is true in every single country on the planet. There are people there, that took the land from other people!

I have some Scottish blood. The English took my land, 500 years ago. My ancestors were kicked to the curb, or killed in battle. Do I blame them? Or is that OK? What about the fact that the current English took land from the Romans? And endless waves of invaders between? Or war after war fought? Or the Romans from people before both?

Where does it end?

It's the same in every country on the planet!

Does all this mean that if Israel stands with static borders for .. what, 100 years, then no one can complain, ever, even once? Or is it 200 years? How long? What's the official time when the latest guy is the bad guy, but everyone else is pure and perfect?

The problem here is we're both unsure, but you're pointing at the UN. I'm throwing my hands up and saying, that no country on the planet can stand if the metric is "They took my land".
I wouldn't be surprised if they picked up the electrical signals from the auditory part of the brain.
perhaps, you might even argue, this is an area where government regulation may be able to do some good.
Japan should have unconditionally surrendered in March, half a year before the nukes, when the US military burned most of Tokyo to the ground in less than two hours.

And yes. Stalin was a bad guy and it's a pity the war didn't end with the demise of both the Nazi and Soviet regimes. This is also irrelevant to the matter of strategic bombings perpetrated by America and Britain.
