Still ridiculous, though. Do doctors in Italy go to jail for giving false negative cancer diagnoses? Can I sue the weather man when I get struck by lightning when they said there's no chance of rain? Maybe next time the public should interpret the seismographs themselves.

Edit: It was eventually overturned [1]. Still, a shocking indictment of the court system.

Wow, A++ job on having white text on a white background for their gitea instance. I was curious if it was just some Firefox specific quirk or something but it seems the .css file is 404 (named "theme-arc-green", so maybe it's best it is 404)
Cricket in US still has a way to go with potential fans stumped by basic rules
The US produces plenty of plastic waste on its own, but it ends up in landfills because of modern garbage collection and street sweeping infrastructure. Before the development of landfills and garbage trucks, trash was a much bigger problem in the developed world - plastics just weren’t very common yet.

Most developing countries don’t have that infrastructure so plastic pollution is everywhere, regardless of how much they export to Western countries.
Fair enough. I agree the potential for abuse was quite high. I’m just hesitant to call it mass nationalisation without even some historical anecdotes folks in the decades thereafter. Particularly if we’re using WWII as a template for nationalising just Boeing in peacetime.
And further, if you can't trust the AI to accurately describe itself, how can you trust it on any other topic?

You can just add the garlic to the oil a few minutes before you plan to consume it: Crush or mince the garlic, add it to the oil, whisk for 30 seconds, and pour through a strainer (ideally using a wooden spoon to squeeze the garlic against the strainer). This provides plenty of garlic flavor, but insufficient time for problematic microorganisms to multiply.

The key difference is that everyone mostly understands a dog's capabilities. A reader knows there must be a larger context. Even in your simple example you felt the need to elaborate that it was an "unleashed" dog. If I merely say "a dog killed a man", the reader is left grasping for that larger context and defaulting to thinking a human must ultimately be responsible (most dogs are human owned rather than in wild packs). If I say "a bear killed a man", a similar grasping occurs but defaults to assuming the deceased likely got too close to a wild bear.

Society has no such general understanding for LLMs. If we did, we wouldn't have situations like this in the first place, because people wouldn't be expecting them to generate instructions that can be followed verbatim. Instead we get the marketing buzz of anthropomorphized "AI" as if they're super-human intelligent entities capable of conversing as humans do, but also better. And when they inevitably fail to live up to that, the narrative shifts to the need for "alignment" and "safety", which seems to mostly mean adding some words to the short priming prompt to make it avoid outputting some specific type of thing that was found to be problematic (with the definition of problematic generally being the creation a public relations shitstorm while also not creating profit). But us humans, our only benchmark for comparison, develop our sense of wisdom much slower through repeated learning and development stages. You can't simply read a child an essay of any length about how to drive safely and then hand them the keys to the family car.
Ask HN: Looking for best practices image lifecycle management for Kubernetes
Hi HN. I've fallen into a project that's a bit over my head experience-wise, so I'm looking for hints.

This is about industry-standard/best practices management process for images in Kubernetes / k8s context.

I'm already lost when trying to find a decent way to represent this. So far I have tree representing the management hierary, top nodes like image creation, image versioning, image storage, image security, image distribution, image deployment, image cleanup, monitoring and auditing and refinements of such.

How do you represent transitions nicely? Vertical lines with invididual stages, with arrows denoting transitions?

Thanks in advance for any hints and pointers to resources.

Hmmmm.
The fascinating bit to me was that they axed the whole onion futures market vs just adding guardrails against predatory trading.

Then again... this was the 1950s and paper contracts, so US market intervention or not was more stark.

And also Eisenhower was likely more concerned about whether the USSR was going to nuke the US and if China was going to try to invade Taiwan for a third time.
Since you didn't provide the author, it's Marshall McLuhan, from Understanding Media. Here's a link: http://topologicalmedialab.net/xinwei/classes/readings/McLuh...

For the record, I disagree with McLuhan, but perhaps I don't fully understand his argument.
This might be a question of me holding it wrong but I don’t know how on earth I’m supposed to judge from that link as it doesn’t really contain any relevant information.

Just to pick a random example from the list of the 9 community projects they contribute(d?) to: containerd

How much did they contribute? It’s not their project in any sense, do they contribute regularly? Did they do it once? Was it meaningful? None of that was answered from your link unfortunately and when I take a look at who actually contributes in practice here: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/graphs/contributors
I didn’t really see anyone from Apple initially..

I haven’t done an in depth review or anything but we are now in a situation where they only have 9 community projects they claim to contribute to and I can’t actually find any examples of them doing so in a meaningful sense.

So my original point actually feels kind of validated here.
Okay so what stood out to me here is the math work: namely, if we can identify the parts of the model which are doing the math... Can that be "augmented" to generalise it? Could you take over the math neurons and either optimise them by hand or plug in a software "implant" to do the work properly?

I made more than that roofing in my teens.

>I don't know what it's like to be college poor like that, no.

Imagine being poor, saddle yourself with insane amounts of debt, take 8 hours out of every day, but you still have to work the same. It's harder than being regular poor.

>None of my family or anyone I knew from my youth ever went, I didn't even presume to hope for it.

That's awful. In any field, a writeup of a discovery should include enough information for a peer of the author to reproduce the results. Ideally, it would include enough detail for an enthusiastic amateur to reproduce the results.

This is how we write pen testing reports at work. A pen testing report written that way ~20 years ago is one of the things that got me interested in pen testing. But I apply it to all of my technical writing.

If lack of reproducibility in science is as big a problem as it seems to be, maybe journals should impose a randomized "buddy system" where getting a paper published is conditional on agreeing to repeat at least 2-3 other experiments performed by peers. Have 3 peer researchers/labs repeat the work. If at least 2/3 are successful, publish the paper. If not, the original researchers can revise their instructions once or twice to account for things the peers did differently because the original instructions didn't discuss them.

Hopefully needing to depend on the other organizations for future peer review would be sufficient to keel everyone honest, but maybe throw in a secret "we know this is reproducible" and a secret "we know this is not reproducible" set of instructions every once in awhile and ban organizations from the journal if they fail more than a few of those.

For corner cases that require something truly impractical for even a peer to reproduce independently ("our equipment included the Large Hadron Collider and a neutral particle beam cannon in geosynchronous orbit"), the researchers that want to publish can supervise the peers as the peers reproduce the work using the original equipment.

This would obviously be costly up front, but I think it would be less costly in the big picture than thousands of scientists basing decades of research on a single inaccurate paper.

I also think that forcing different teams to work together might help build a collaborative culture instead of the hostile one that's described elsewhere in this discussion, but maybe I'm overly optimistic.

Go Farm Yourself, predictive AI for cash grain
First mistake of Perplexity was strategical one of not going head to head with Google and making its product open and free to use. They could've offered freemium type model where you could use Perplexity for free and see ads but if you want no ads and some extra perks, you can buy subscription.

The second problem is not exclusive to Perplexity but to overall LLM chat industry and that is; we as users don't know how their index looks like and how they rank their results (answers). When I ask Perplexity a question, how does it decide which sources to pick when answering me?
Ahh so we saw the Simulators turn on a black hole in their Universe Simulator of which we are NPCs. ;-)

How do you feel about BYOAK LLM Apps?
I'm building an App that uses ChatGPT and I'm leaning towards making it BYOAK (bring your own API key) at least at first. I would not actually store the OpenAI API key on the backend and all API calls would be made on the frontend. The positives are that I would no longer need it to be subscription-based and the user only has to pay for what they use. The negatives seem like users may be concerned about the security of their key and also of course they would need to go through the trouble of obtaining an OpenAI API key. So I'm curious, would you use a BYOAK app?
How is requiring the user to open a completely different application a better "user experience" than installing it from the web page they're already on?

Yes, I know that installing a PWA is confusing (especially on Apple's systems), but there no reason it has to be that way.

PWA (if it were implemented properly): "Click here to install app". Click. Confirmation dialog. App is installed. App opens in the same window.

App store: "Click here to install app". Click. An entirely different application opens. Confirmation dialog. App is installed. You open it, but now you're in a different context.
After looking up the code for raw_sync, I came to the same conclusion. My first question was whether the shared memory case is safe on a weaker memory model like ARM or Power. Seeing the mutex, it may be too safe.
The reality is that management never cares how non-replaceable an engineer is, fires them anyway, a bunch of stuff breaks and the newcomers are stuck holding the bag.
I commend them for following their conscience, but I would also commend someone for going to work for the defense industry because they thought it was the best way to protect people. I don't think there are any easy moral answers when it comes to defense.

I'm also not saying that teachers could ask nicely and then do nothing if the rule is broken. Actually, one could ask students to either put their phones in their bag or in a "safe phone-box", and still seize the phone if it's used.

Bringing awarness is important, when it comes to fighting addiction.

EDIT: > If we're not in pain, we're not alive

I actually saw this non-ironically somewhere (The View From 80 perhaps?) in which it was suggested that, after a certain age, waking up with pain is a positive sign, with the rationale that if some part of your body doesn't hurt, maybe you didn't really wake up after all...
There’s a lot of interesting methods you can combine with tech stuff to do things like aeroponic towers, composting, mycology, etc.

For example: a “enclosed” mushroom growing op (a few sheds or cabins) can be made incredibly efficient using various sensors, automation solutions, and environmental controls to maintain the optimal growing environment. It can be as complex or as simple as you want.
I felt invoking the original Macintosh tagline "For The Rest of Us" to describe what feels like a hastily shoved together selection of OpenAI API calls and some aesthetically tasteless diffusion models particularly strange.

Not to mention the reveal was extremely strange and almost felt like they were not releasing anything at all for the first 15 minutes before they showed it in action, almost felt very self conscious.

I feel that level of tagline should have only been invoked when they truly manage to ship something on even the baseline of their competitors today in a (wishfully) local and secure way.
Good Lord this brings back bad memories - I used 9p around 7 years ago for a secure government system, it was horrific. I did report the bug, with all the details etc, but it was basically unmaintained. IIRC the issue was it was using up file handles under pressure to a point where the host died.

It's a great idea but really hope it's better now.
By the way, where's the killer app for the Vision Pro? :)

1. "Show, don't tell." If you have to explain in detail your value prop and rationally convince a potential user that they will be better off using your product, then you might be wrong about how good the product is. If you're truly solving a problem for them, you should be able to show them quickly how you automate a process or generate a helpful result.

2. Ask for feedback, and specifically, try to see if the problem you are solving is truly relevant to them. Most users have dozens of "problems" they have every day, and they choose NOT to solve most of those problems because they have better things to do. Are you sure you're not solving a problem so low on their list of priorities that they simply don't care?

3. Go to where your users are -- conferences, events, web forums, whatever. If you validated #1 and #2, then showing them or presenting to them will get them excited and will get you users.

I find reaching out to people to get feedback via LinkedIn (I do enterprise sales) is a great way to validate a problem, and only then worry about scaling or getting them to try.

Books that might be helpful: [1] "The Mom Test", for interviewing users, and [2] "Competing Against Luck", which introduces 'jobs to be done' and talks about how your biggest competition isn't another product, but users deciding to do NOTHING.
Something like DB schema upgrading would be good but if you have versions you should be able to do that just fine. Reflection and changes are not at odds.

Slightly tangential but one of the largest problems I’ve had working with React Testing Library is a huge number of tests that pass when they should fail. This might be because of me and my team misusing it but regularly a test will be written, seem like it’s testing something, and pass but if you flip the condition, or break the component it doesn’t fail as expected. I’d really worry that any mass automated, or honestly manual, method for test conversion would result in a large percentage of tests which seem to be of value but actually just pass without testing anything.
1. Ah, this commit message feature isn't available in JetBrains yet, unfortunately. Most things carry over since they both use the same underlying code, but this is more editor-specific.

2. Your "reasonable near-term goal" is right in line with what we are thinking. Basically, "auto-edits" is f(edit that meets deterministic trigger criteria) --> multi-file diff. Here are some examples we have in mind; any others you had in mind?

update a type signature --> ripple that change across to all call sites/value literals (kinda like symbolic rename does today, but for more than just the name)

rename something --> update the docs

change code with a comment nearby --> update the comment if it's now invalid

update a func impl --> propose a new test case

Yes, and:

Not all problems result in error traces to analyse.

Example, you release buggy client that doesn't call "POST /order/finalize" when it should.

There are no error traces, there are just missing HTTP requests. Metrics reveal that calls to "POST /order/finalize" for iOS apps are down 50% WoW.

How close to a black hole? This isn't a common-or-garden black hole, it's supermassive. If it's (300M years ago) suddenly started producing intense radiation that we can measure here, then I assume that anyone in the galaxy that can see the central region is receiving a lot of radiation, as well as a storm of high-energy particles.

The article clouds more than it illuminates. I don't think the author knows what he is trying to say. This is common in strawman "mythbusting" articles, but even more fraught when the topic is quantum mechanics.

Saying that an electron "isn't a wave" when it is in motion, because the wave is probability, not the electron, is equivalent to saying the electron doesn't exist between emissions and absorption. This is a valid interpretation, but even more conunterintuitive to novice, and raises more questions. Ultimately, arguing over vocabulary as interpretation is a distraction. What the thing does is what the thing is. Interpretations are intuitive guides.

Yeah. It's truly amazing how cleverly they designed these tools to encourage discovery and experimentation. It's made to make it basically impossible to create something that "doesn't look right", which makes it a fantastic creativity toy for children.

It makes me a bit sad that it's not easy to find anything today that can compete with what I played with as a kid thirty years ago.
