Thought I'd point out that this system has a really good MiSTerFPGA core that supports the Neo Geo AES, MVS and CD systems [0] if you'd like to give it a go and software emulators aren't your thing. MiSTerFPGA, for those unaware, is a project that uses a Terasic DE10 Nano FPGA evaluation board to reproduce older consoles, computers, and arcade systems in hardware [1]. And as a heads up, the cost for entry into MiSTerFPGA will soon drop sharply as there are clone boards for the DE10 and expansion memory boards that will cost well under half of current offerings. At under $99 for the DE10 clone and $20 for the 128K SRAM memory expansion that is basically a must have [2], you'll be able to run consoles up to PS1 / Saturn / N64 level. Above that you'll have to go to software emulation or hang on to see what the next round of FPGA-based retro-consoles (Replay2, MarsFPGA) will be able to offer.

I guess one good thing about being an archeologist must be that history is added one year per year. You get to a ruin which has been messed up by Roman archaeologists, and their stuff is also artifacts.

You get to a ruin messed up by Indiana Jones’s in the 1940’s or whatever, just note the location, your great^10 grandkids can come back and collect his hat as an artifact.
I tried figuring out whether Firefox can be made to never open a new tab in response to a normal left click on a link. The advice I found is setting `browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction` to 0 and `browser.link.open_newwindow` to 1 in about:config [1]. But it works a little too well: clicking on a link outside of Firefox also no longer opens a new tab.

It's a double edged sword. I suppose when I started my career I would just take the popularity of something as proof positive it was truly helpful. At this point I am a lot more cynical having gone experienced the churn of what is popular in the industry. I would say jQuery was definitely a good thing, because of the state of web at the time and the disparity between browsers.

More recently, and on topic, I am dubious about langchain and the notion of doing away with composing your own natural language prompts from the start. I know of at least some devs whose interactions with llm are restricted solely to using langchain, and have never realized how easy it is to, say, prompt the llm for json adhering to a schema by just, you know, asking it. I suppose eventually frameworks/ wrappers will arise around in-browser ai models. But I see a danger in people being so eager to incuriously adopt the popular even as it bloats their project size unnecessarily. If we forecast ahead, if LLMs become ever better, then the need for wrappers should diminish I would think. It would suck if AI and language models got ever better but we still were saddled with the same bloat, cognitive and code size, just because of human nature.
Kinda agree with you. But not all the techs that get hype live long, just take a look at NFTs.
A corollary to this is that you didn't arrive at this conclusion as a result of analyzing the possible perspectives and choosing the best one. Similar to what you said, you didn’t choose to believe this, the veracity of this conclusion just came into your mind on its own. So why should we, or you for that matter, take this claim seriously?

It's more of a modern problem:

Old-school homeless would shit in the toilet.

New school homeless on fentanyl sometimes leave drug paraphernalia. Hence, businesses won't let randos in their toilets. And, therefore, more shitting on the sidewalk.

I was subject to a layoff at one point in my career and it is really up to the management. We ended up with severance, a year of warning the end is coming and some informal help with finding a new position. Then again, the company was removing its presence from state and it needed our help to make sure transition was smooth. I guess in this case, management felt there was no need for any niceties.

I had to do a similar thing with my T530. I wanted to upgrade to a WiFi 6+Bluetooth card. The built in Bluetooth adapter is very old, I think v4.2. It's also a finicky module with a mezzanine connector, and it's nestled deeply into the internal magnesium frame so the range is abysmal.

I reflashed the BIOS to kill the whitelist, but I'm left with a bigger problem. The WiFi slot offers PCI, but not USB. The WWAN slot has USB, but not PCI.

I ended up tapping into the original Bluetooth connector to steal the USB lines and route them back to the PCI connector.

I had some issues at first with the device not enumerating reliably, but it eventually settled down.

Now I have WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5. Unfortunately the WiFi frontend is extremely bad (it's a Chinese knockoff) and I have pretty bad signal strength even literally on top of the router. But it works well enough and my Bluetooth headphones now work more than 10ft away from the machine.

The major problem is that the only WiFi 6 card available in mini PCIe is knockoff Intel AX210 cards. I suppose that's fair, mPCIe is basically obsolete these days. Unfortunately I don't have space for a M.2 or other adapter. Maybe I could build a custom express card

> I knew a guy that’d auto reject C PR’s if they didn’t use the syntax if (1==x) rather than if (x==1). The former will not compile if you accidentally use variable assignment instead of equality operator (which everyone has done at some point).

That's not so much of a footgun anymore - the common C compilers will warn you about that so there's not much point in defending against it.

Same with literal format string parameters to printf functions: the compiler is very good at warning about mismatched types.
I should have clarified that my work laptop is not a Framework laptop.
I think in some cases, people are making the wrong presumption here.

"Scruffy looking" person can be a homeless person, or a drug addict. And people in these businesses are employees typically, not owners.

While many (most?) homeless people may be very tidy, and cause no issues, there is also a subset of homeless people which are mentally unstable.

So how do you tell "good homeless" from "worrisome homeless" and lastly from "drug addict"?

And if you are forced to make this choice many times per day, and get it wrong, you have customers coming to you and saying "My kid was in your bathroom and it had human shit on the wall and vomit all over the toilet!", how do you deal with that review on Yelp?

Trying to claim that without any reason, just randomly, businesses started to become wary is not fair.

From personal experience decades ago, I was on welfare. As I appeared somewhat respectable, I was given a discount on the largest room, as long as I kept the landlord notified of issues, vacuumed once a week, and mopped the shared bathrooms daily.

The bathrooms were simple, clean, and each tenant used their own toilet paper.

One day I entered a bathroom to find shit speared all over the walls. Literally, at least 60 or 70 smears of shit. Apparently one of the tenants had a friend over, he ran out of tp, and so his friend used the wall.

I basically had to mop the walls, took hours to get it all off.

I assure you that any such incident will make most people extremely wary of allowing anyone that appears questionable, in to use a bathroom.

It's not "keep the homeless out" but "keep the scruffy looking person out" along with fear of having to clean that up again, dear god no please!, and oh no I'm going to get a bad yelp review.

I'm in finance and we're using LLMs to summarize a ton of soft data on company performance. We're making a killing and beating the market substantially. Within the next five years I don't think there will be anyone left standing who isn't worth a trillion dollars or doesn't have all their quants augmented by LLMs.

Before this I was building a matching engine for online retail which used (then) state of the art multimodal models to decide which products would match your query to the lowest priced item. The dirty secret here is that we've solved search, it just costs too much to provide it for free. I think we'll soon see an online Costco show up which can provide this service to members and filter all the bullshit dropshippers.
That’s not a certainty but an AI salesman’s pitch.
I think this is even the case for tech companies. So many products I see now that offer AI where I go "is that really necessary?". Even in the case of my own startup, my business partner has been pushing me to figure out some way to integrate AI into our product and my response to him every time has been to convince him that it's not in our best interest to go down that road. I told him that even in a world where we could adjust our subscription prices to compensate for the added expense of AI, we would be burning valuable time on AI when we could be spending it in other areas of our product.

Even though we are a tiny startup I have a feeling that this applies to many other tech companies as well.

I honestly don’t know. AI is so young; it’s like asking who had good internet strategies in 1994; in hindsight we know some did, but nobody really knew at the time (I would argue those who say otherwise are speaking from survivorship bias).

But take a look at GitHub’s Copilot Workspaces for ideas of how transformative AI will be.

I don’t have all the pieces (if I did, I’d be rich, right?), but I think AI will deliver mass customization of goods, software, and content by reducing up front costs to near zero. So if I were looking for good strategies, I’d start with companies that currently spend a lot of money on software or content creation and who are investing in automating that.
The gesture recognition sounds incredibly interesting. I work with vision based band tracking, and performance really isn't good enough for my application.

Even if true, is completely irrelevant. What matters is effectiveness per dolar, not per watt.

Does Goldman Sachs have an energy budget per employee, do they hire based on energy consumption? Do they prefer hiring someone living in a small house versus someone living in a mansion with a gigantic energy bill when both request the same salary?
No, I was just asking out of curiosity. You're overthinking too much.
> The warning says to add parentheses, which sure enough silences the warning, your foot, however, still has a bullet hole in it.

The warning also says that it's an assignment. It's a pretty clear warning meant to force the programmer to do extra work to get the error.
I dont think that is the full story, as my airpods didnt auto update when simply within range, as they werent connected to the device, so therefore no way to actually download the update.

You need to connect to a device via bluetooth for 5 mins (e.g. just open case when close to device if it is configured to autoconnect). Then close the case and leave for 15 mins. Then connect again and check version.

If the message is hacked, the hacker is requested to share the cracked message with the author.

How to share the cracked message with the author is included in the cryptogram.

The hacked message will be published on the web page with subsequent more complex cryptograms.

There is some exaggeration in my "Notepad", but the fact is, Overleaf lacks many features of a decent modern text editor, starting with a decent menu bar, all wrapped in the awkwardness of using a web browser as the main window, plus having to upload all files to a shared web space where your tools aren't available.

From own experience with ChatGPT, I asked it some months ago to go through an EU regulation, and create a checklist/audit programme for IT Security.
Work that would have taken me a couple of weeks, it took 'it' a few seconds.
I had to go through the text to make sure it's clean and doesn't contain hallucinations. Total work effort 1-2 hours max.

This doesn't mean that the human is no longer required, but for certain tasks a company can save a lot of time/money.

So I don't know if they dream to drop a dept of 50 people and replace it with a single machine, but there are some tasks that cannot be outsourced to machines (e.g. decisions impacting the lives cannot be made by automation)

"the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject."

So good luck 'convincing' the regulator that an LLM can replace mortgage-decisions makers (it is considered a significant activity in a person's life).
> what would actually make it want to work for humans?

Well, I mean, that's the fundamental question of the entire AI alignment field and has been for over 20 years :D The question for which the wrong answer means the potential extinction of not merely the human species, but everything that we find valuable in the reachable universe.

Now, let's be very clear that the question is not "Why wouldn't it just invent its own goals and ignore humans?" That's mere anthropomorphizing. What an agent wants to do is by definition the goals output by its goal system. And the goal system is supposed to be designed by us, but we may not be smart enough to design a goal system that won't be disastrous to us if implemented by a superintelligent agent.
NFTs are (dumb) products, not tech. AI is more foundational, like transistors or internet or GUI.

Show HN: Drop-in SQS replacement based on SQLite
Hi! I wanted to share an open source API-compatible replacement for SQS. It's written in Go, distributes as a single binary, and uses SQLite for underlying storage.

I wrote this because I wanted a queue with all the bells and whistles - searching, scheduling into the future, observability, and rate limiting - all the things that many modern task queue systems have.

But I didn't want to rewrite my app, which was already using SQS. And I was frustrated that many of the best solutions out there (BullMQ, Oban, Sidekiq) were language-specific.

So I made an SQS-compatible replacement. All you have to do is replace the endpoint using AWS' native library in your language of choice.

For example, the queue works with Celery - you just change the connection string. From there, you can see all of your messages and their status, which is hard today in the SQS console (and flower doesn't support SQS.)

It is written to be pluggable. The queue implementation uses SQLite, but I've been experimenting with RocksDB as a backend and you could even write one that uses Postgres. Similarly, you could implement multiple protocols (AMQP, PubSub, etc) on top of the underlying queue. I started with SQS because it is simple and I use it a lot.

It is written to be as easy to deploy as possible - a single go binary. I'm working on adding distributed and autoscale functionality as the next layer.

Today I have search, observability (via prometheus), unlimited message sizes, and the ability to schedule messages arbitrarily in the future.

In terms of monetization, the goal is to just have a hosted queue system. I believe this can be cheaper than SQS without sacrificing performance. Just as Backblaze and Minio have had success competing in the S3 space, I wanted to take a crack at queues.

I'd love your feedback!
I knew somebody would bring free will into this :) I should've said "you decide to think a thought (for some definition of "decide" according to your free will stance) ...". I mostly agree with you, but I decided to compartmentalize it out for the sake of this particular discussion, as I don't think it matters - a machine with these properties would be as conscious as a human.
TFA isn't talking about a scam targeting creators of tokens. This is a scam targeting random people by text message who don't know enough about the crypto space to know what USDT is, but would somehow research and figure out how to jump through hoop after hoop to try to steal someone else's money.
