The thing is that without hijacking it and passing it through, you can't have nice things like handling resizes, supporting attaching with multiple terminal emulators, or reconnecting to applications that make heavy use of terminal escape codes, because all of those set up persistent state in the terminal emulator.

As a result, any tmux-like layer needs to emulate a console in order to get a view into the state, and then re-render that emulated console on attach to restore state to the terminal emulator that you're connected from.

From the readme, this tool does that, kinda. I'm actually confused about why they'd go to the effort of implementing a VT100 emulator, write the code to redraw the screen from it, and yet not bother with doing the work that would let multiple terminal emulators attach.

This feels like it sits in a weird place between simple, crude tools like dtach, and tools like tmux; shpool has done most of the work to implement tmux-style behavior, and then decides to cut weird corners.
Yeah. I'm into reptiles, and I help people who are way more into that hobby than I am.

Any wild-caught reptile basically needs rehabilitation: de-worming, mite treatments, and in many cases anti-fungal treatment.
I see this type of thinking a lot - where someone assumes that 'in a good natural environment' all animals are just peacefully living their lives and thriving. And to some extent, sure, animals in a rain-forest are gonna thrive better than in an industrial wasteland.

People have a romantic view of nature. Nature is fucking _brutal_, unforgiving, and horrific. Starving to death, living with severe infections, broken limbs, chunks of flesh missing, and hopefully reproducing before you meet your fate - that's how most animals in nature live out their lives.

As humans, we've gained the unique ability to greatly control not only our environment, but also other living creatures' environments, and 'unnatural' is not inherently bad. Nature is, more often than not, extremely horrific for living things.

Could we live in a decent environment, where the food paste we eat tastes pretty good and keeps you at optimal health - somewhere between starving and overweight? certainly possible, some pet owners do this. But that's not natural, that's just 'optimal for long-term health' - which is only one input to life happiness.
There are multiple devices that have shipped with Fuchsia on it in the home ecosystem over the last 5 years.

I don't necessarily think it's going to be a major success, but it's already been more successful than this implies.

The author doesn't suggest for the readers to go on paleo. The author says:

> With food, the rule of thumb is to eat like your ancestors ate. Avoid ultra-processed foods, and avoid (or dramatically cut down on) the big 3: corn, soy, and wheat. These crops are in everything and are often the most processed, most pesticide-laden, and most fertilizer-intensive crops in our entire agricultural system.
> Societies that value freedom of speech and thought shouldn't be like this.

There is nothing preventing an individual using a computer to generate hateful content, this is absolutely evidenced by the absolute glut of hateful content on the internet.

My freedom of movement is not practically limited by the fact that if my car breaks down, I don't have the knowledge or tools to repair my car effectively - I still have two feet and a heartbeat, and it might take longer to get there, but I can go where I want (modulo private property and national borders).

Societies that value freedom of speech and thought should also be equally opposed to compelled speech, while model censorship is frustrating and challenging to work with, expecting to, or forcing a researcher, or a business to publish uncensored models is a form of compelled speech.

There is absolutely nothing stopping a reasonably competent technologist from implementing simple models, and the only thing stopping a reasonably competent technologist from building an LLM is financial resources. There is a broad set of resources to learn how to train and use models, and while an individual researcher may be challenged to product the next model competitive with current OpenAI, Anthropic, or other models, that is again a resource issue. If your complaint is that resource issues are holding people back, I may want you to expand on your critique of capitalism in general :P

> This is good advice, given in bad faith. Even should the physical hardware be available to do that for any given person, the know-how's hard to come by.

It's absolutely not a bad faith argument. The know-how is hard to come by has been a compelling competitive advantage since the first proto-guilds sought to protect their skills and income in Mesopotamia (and probably before that, but they hadn't figured out a durable means of writing yet). In the modern parlance if someone can't Git Gud, that's not any researchers, or any businesses problem in terms of access to uncensored models.

Yeah, regulation is probably coming, but unless you're argument is that models are entities entitled to free speech, no ones freedom of expression is actually inhibited by not having access to tools to use generative AI technologies to generate content. People who can't create or jailbreak their own models to do it for them are still free to write their own manifestos, or make adult collages of the object of their fantasies. It just takes a bit more work.
Ah interesting. I do recall we never utilized the GPUs on them, just the Cell.
Interesting, my partner's son got one for free for developing some graphics drivers that needed to be ported to the Vision Pro. I was super interested in it for a few days but we never took it out of the box. I have been meaning to take a look at it, but life keeps getting in the way.
I feel the same way about synthetic data. Seems intuitively wrong that you can get new insights / unlock new abilities from generated data that you could not from the original data.
Survivor bias for wild animals… just sayin
Unfortunately, Adobe tools were already on its own league before the recent AI revolution. They are now even more untouchable.

What are the most favorable jurisdictions to run seeding out of, mitigating risk of copyright related reporting and account closure (assuming virtual compute)?
Seeding 500TB I'm guessing requires 500TB of disk space. I don't have even close to that.

I would if I could though, so excited to see anyone answer the call!
Well you can take it as literally or figuratively as you wish. Depends on the person.
We tried raising a generation of babies without breastmilk and discovered that doing so causes weak digestive tracts. We have a huge problem with obesity, largely due to highly processed foods that are optimized for profits. We have a mental health crisis that is likely linked to social media etc.

The reality is that nobody wants to completely go back to the past. Nobody is protesting the use of soap or brushing their teeth.

The real question is in which areas do we reject modern technology? We should evaluate modern technology not as fanboys but as mature humans. People think that the Amish are hypocrites because they use diesel generators instead of bringing electricity into their homes. But their relationship with technology is mature: they decide as a community which tech to use and which to avoid, instead of being fanboys who think the only thing better than tech is more of it.

I personally don't make the same tradeoffs the Amish do. But I do make tradeoffs. Saying that modern tech is universally good is just as chronologically snobbish as saying that the olden days were universally good.
It’s a bit of chicken and egg to know if you built it robust enough without meticulous testing of your robustness
I think this is sort of it but I don't think it's the carrot that's the problem here. I believe it's the process and yeah ultimately the culture.

I don't think you want sales concerned about security, their focus should and only be on growth. The problem is if you don't give jurisdiction and power to the other side to actually say no this priority (security fix) goes in before work is done on this new feature, then you have an imbalanced system.

If the project manager who is incentivized toward growth is the decision-maker for deciding what is prioritized, well of course naturally you'll have the PM choosing growth over security.

Process needs fixing, give more agency and jurisdiction to the other side to effect change. It's not like security doesn't see what the issues are, it's just the fixes are not prioritized and the culture and process isn't balanced between both.

Just finished The Omnivore's Dilemma. If you want a closer look at the industrial parts of the US food system, and a possible alternative, you could do worse than starting there.

If you're going to note that specialization in our food system is what makes it possible to feed so many people with so few farmers, sure, go ahead.

Wendell Berry and many others that the reduction in the number of farmers enabled by that specialization is what has hollowed out rural communities to the point where many services can't be economically provided to people living in rural areas because there are too darn few people.

I didn't grow up in a rural or agrarian area, but I live in one now. I most recently got to watch this through the lens of the school budget. The four towns that comprise our school district add up to in total 500-some students across 12 grades.

Getting a budget passed took two tries and some cuts because getting enough teachers and students together and transported to school buildings is pretty high. There were other factors, but structurally the low density of students is a huge cost driver.

So yeah, would more farmers farming smaller farms be less efficient? From a food production standpoint, yes. Would it bolster rural communities? Sweeping away a bunch of other diverse issues that are no doubt affecting communities differently, in aggregate, probably yes.

Bringing it back to TFA: would it result in a healthier, more resilient food system in the US? Almost certainly.
How likely is it that seemingly well-intentioned companies/open source projects like Mullvad, Wireguard, Qubes OS, Monero etc. are infiltrated by the US government?

You need a bunch of bandwidth upfront for that, which you might not have, and enough compute available at the other end to reconstruct it, which you really might not have.

To me the infamy is owed to Sony's "super computer on a chip" hype marketing (similar to the hype around the Emotion Engine int he PS2) surrounding the architecture coupled with the difficulty in programming it. The big issue was SPE's had no way to access main memory so you had to copy the data from RAM into each SPE which had its own local memory.

I think the big ones are:

Acrobat

Audition

InDesign

Lightroom

Photoshop

Premiere

I think a lot of people also use Fonts and Stock just because it’s convenient but they aren’t the same type of desktop product as the other ones.

Does "quip" imply that it is somehow not a valid criticism?
Most torrent clients let you select subsets of file to download (and thus seed) so you can choose a portion to download whatever amount of disk space you are willing to lend.
1000%. If you have something worth saying, say it somewhere other than X, so that people can read it without a hassle.

You don't have to download all files in the torrent. Most torrent clients support partial downloads and you would only seed those parts. The main concern would be that you would be undoubtedly distributing copyrighted material

This is interesting. But I'm reserving my judgment about PUFAs.

There's a subreddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/SaturatedFat/. They hate PUFAs, and love saturated fats. But having lurked on that sub for a while, I don't think they've found the magic bullet for weight loss. It's not as if obese people who cut out PUFAs magically go back to a healthy weight.

Just being batted around by turbulence looks different if you know what you're looking for (although what to look for might be only obvious when looking at accelerometer data). Again, Dutch Roll is a very specific phenomenon as a result of coupling between the roll and yaw dynamic modes. The risk of Dutch Roll is that these oscillations can grow even without further stimulus rather than just dampen out.

I'm not on board the hype train either, but I don't think that's the right way to look at it.

High schoolers are already not widely employed for knowledge-based work. It's almost all physical labor. The few knowledge jobs among my peers in high school were tutoring and call centers, both of which are arguably replaceable with LLMs today.

But "replaced" isn't really the right frame either. In my very physically-constrained industry I can't point to any specific job titles that have been replaced by "AI" but I do see a meaningful volume of labor being taken on by ML-dependent technologies like robotics and AR, which leads to increased productivity overall which leads to bottom line results that the users are seeking.

So to me it seems reasonable that we will see this with more advanced work. The better the AI tools get the more work they will be able to assist with, including the making of better AI tools.
I used to use PaintShop Pro a lot... After the second Corel release I dropped it because I didn't like the direction it took. I do wish that Affinity had at least good WINE support for being able to run in Linux.

I just hate GIMP myself, never liked it and it feels extra clunky. For quick edits, I can usually get away with Pinta (Paint.Net fork), but would like something more. I've thought about digging out an old copy of JASC PSP, which IIRC ran fine under WINE.
The caption is like the title of a painting. It does not so much tell what the image is an image of, but what the author/painter tells us their image represents. Represents, not depicts.

Or consider a song, it's title does not tell where the sound was recorded, but what the composer tells us the song is about. Not where and when it was recorded.
That's one of them, as mentioned on the site. ;)

Hey HN,
I'm a ML Engineer at ZetaLabs.ai. I wanted to share our new assistant Jace that can help you with daily tasks through simple prompts or emails. We've just released an early version that I hope you'll find useful (esp. mails are a nice interface, just forward/cc mail to jace). Feel free to join our waitlist at jace.ai .
As part of an agent that can do anything for you, I've been working on Autonomous Web Agent (AWA) models, which can interact with browsers just like humans can. The idea is that browsers provide a unified interface for interacting with most websites, even those without APIs. Since large proprietary models aren't trained for this, we're building our own models specifically for web interaction.
One of the challenges we faced was the lack of real interaction data for websites. So we simulated hundreds of thousands of interactions with sites to provide learning signal on what works and what doesn't. Currently AWA-1 is only trained on synthetic data! We added a complex planning and state tracking system, so AWA-1 is doing well at long tasks (10+ steps).
I've got a couple of videos that show what AWA-1 can do:
https://youtu.be/MjKaMOC5J2E
https://youtu.be/avNZ-TOXGn0
https://www.jace.ai/blog
Right now AWA-1 is still slow, sometimes unreliable and resource intensive, so we are currently working on AWA-2 (new architecture and structure) which should lead to human-level speed and better decision making. We will roll out only AWA-2 as an additional tool that Jace can use later on. Hope you like it!
Cheers
Kind of? Autopilot has a habit of disengaging right before crashes [1]; which may not be a bad thing, your seat belt also has a habit of not being adjustable in a crash (dunno if an ICE engine will turn off).

Mix that with Elon had a habit of commenting on crashes [2] to keep good marketing about FSD. And like who cares if it was "Auto lane control" vs "Autopilot" that let somebody drive the car from the passenger seat but Elon made sure to let everybody know "Autopilot" wasn't engaged.

It seems you can specify the storage space you want to devote, and it will suggest torrents to match. For example, duxiu is only ~40gb. This is separate from torrent-client limiting -- you can just seed specific parts of the collection if you want.
Even before the Canva acquisition, their decision to release a separately-purchased "v2" of their suite ruffled a lot of feathers. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_Photo#Version_2
That's reasonable

Then again the difference between lethal cold temperatures and comfortable temperatures is also much much bigger than lethal hot temperatures and comfortable temperatures too. EG humans can be pretty comfortable between 32F and 80-90F. The upper limit is pretty much 110F, so only a 20F difference. There's not really any sort of clothing short of some kind of spacesuit with a personal cooling device that can make those temperatures survivable.

Humans can tolerate ridiculously cold temperatures with adequate clothing layers. With clothing you can buy at Walmart you can be pretty comfortable at -40F. With specialized equipment there's basically no limit to how cold the surroundings can be

Not so much with ridiculously hot. Being too hot is just a more complex problem to solve
I concur on Affinity. For graphic design, pixel art, layout, and photo work I've switched to the Affinity suite.

I used Premiere for about two years but never liked it as much as Final Cut Pro X, so I'm back on FCPX for video now that I've got a better Mac to run it on.

FCPX and Affinity are both one-time purchases, which I appreciate.
it was like that in the 90s too.

until people like cult of dead cow started to both sell the solutions and give it the tools to exploit everyone not implementing the solutions.

I used to feel this way. And then I discovered their Spectrum design and React libraries. I use them in production. And I am a huge fan. I don't think anything like this exists. Opensource or commercial.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of UI libraries. But nothing has the breadth of coverage that Spectrum does, including design guidelines.

And Spectrum 2 is expected later this year.
