Mixture of agents prevents a lot of fact fabrication.
Unexpectedly, I kind of agree. I've found GPT to be a great tutor for things I'm trying to learn. It being somewhat unreliable / prone to confidently lying embeds a certain amount of useful skepticism and questioning of all the information, which in turn leads to an overall better understanding.

Fighting with the AI's wrongness out of spike is an unexpectedly good motivator.

I don't quite understand your comment. You can embed SVG in HTML and vice versa and you can use CSS on it.
Scrum Master should be a team member, not manager
Yeah, I was expecting mention of exercise too.
Maps/directions are much better than Tesla's. You have voice interface. Music (Apple/Spotify/etc) is much nicer - though they do have Apple Music and Spotify apps, it's easier to just control through my phone.

Most people consider their phone their digital life, so having the car entertainment system get out of your way and just integrate the car with the phone seems more natural.
If I remember correctly the initial version allowed required fields but it caused all sorts of problems when trying to migrate protos because a new required fields breaks all consumers almost by definition. So updating protos in isolation becomes tricky.

The problem went away with all optional fields so it was decided the headache wasn't worth it.
I read some arguments that being friendly with Russia is a way for India to attempt countering China. Don't want Russias relations to be much better with China than with themselves.
> If the corrections worked at an acceptable rate, one would just want them applied at the source.

What do you mean? The model is for improving their RLHF trainers performance. RLHF does get applied "at the source" so to speak. It's a modification on the model behind the API.

Perhaps if you were to say what you think this thing is for and then share why you think it's not "at the source".
Anecdotally, everyone I know who has been on a keto diet always complained about brain fog and memory problems.
> And used today, it has no fascist connotations, and does not indicate support for Bandera or the OUN. That's just a simple fact. You obviously want the slogan to mean something different in the current context -- but we're talking about a country of 44 million people here, and if you have any interaction at all with this society, it's perfectly obvious and clear what they mean by it. I take their word over yours.

That's BS. Do some research, check how many marches like this one[0] (clearly mimicking nazis and glorifying Bandera) there are in Ukraine. Check the countless pictures and videos showing elements of the AFU wearing nazi symbology. Check what is the role of fascist militias like Azov and neo-nazi parties like Svoboda in the 2014's Maidan.

What evidence do you have to support that symbology taken straight from Bandera period has no relationship with him?

> The Poles have long gotten over all this history too, of course. They know what happened in those years, but they know that what's happening in the current day is infinitely more important. They know there's a fascist aggressor to the East which threatens their survival as a people, and it isn't Ukraine.

That's bullshit as well, and you know it. To this day Poland comdemns Ukraine's commeration of Bandera & co.[1] That's a constant source of friction between the two countries, which are only united at the moment because of Russia.

The real problem with Ukraine as a nation is that the only national cultural identity they could find is rooted in collaborationism with the nazis, ethnical extermination and hatred for the URSS. Not a great base to start from.

> You're only interested in this stuff as scare imagery -- as a way to push people's buttons.

All I'm interested in is to see an end to the constant glorification of nazism.

I could not find their definition of a high-fat diet. Anecdotally I have often heard researchers of ketogenic diets complain that in animal studies "high-fat diets" typically contain high amounts of sugar as well, and thus do not induce a low-insulin state as we see in ketogenic diets.
What a hero. Rest in peace.
in my latest project I actually needed an rpc library that was hardware accelerated and I was surprised gRPC doesn't do RDMA for example. why is that?
They just got acquired by Canva so highly unlikely.
I used the original WordStar on CP/M-80 and DOS for quite a while; it was truly an excellent product. The key bindings were so influential that they were duplicated by the early Turbo Pascal IDEs; I can still remember typing ^KB/^KK to mark a block of code.
Exactly, you can't even fix the problem at the root, b/c the problem is already with the humans, making up stuff.
If buy a PC with windows 11 pro instead of home, you can also just click other options and choose "Domain join instead." you don't actually have to enter any domain info, etc it'll just have you create a local account.

Won't really help "regular" people since most off-the-shelf, i.e. Best Buy, computers come with Home but if you stick to business lines (ThinkPads, XPS, Latitude, Precision, EliteBook and ProBooks, etc.) you get Pro edition.
They should advertise up here in Canada. Functional rotary phones are selling like hotcakes for $50-80 a pop. Especially original non-standard (not-black) colours.
You can embed HTML in SVG, vice versa and use CSS on both.

In fact one little trick if you are doing a complex animated layout with SVG is to nest HTML elements with it that you animate it via CSS transitions or keyframes, which are much more optimized than SVG animations in browsers.
Thanks for mentioning it, I do want to add other calendars.

Just curious, which Calendar do others' use as default?
I wonder if you could find an old Kindle DX on ebay or something.
Pretty sure it's becoming increasingly common that one person runs a fleet of drivers that they have imported from a foreign country. The primary person sets up all the accounts, and provides the cars, etc and the drivers do the deliveries and get paid a minuscule amount. In many cases they're akin to indentured servants that also live in packed housing owned by the "boss", to whom they also pay rent. The workers get their tiny sliver of money and send it home to help out their families, with the hope they can eventually establish themselves in the US.
Is it really that much better? I'm really happy with GPT-4o's coding capabilities and very seldom experience problems with hallucinations or incorrect responses, so I'm intrigued by how much better it can actually be.
If you're an individual developer and not an enterprise, just go straight to Google AIStudio or GeminiAPI instead: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey. It's dead simple getting an API key and calling with a rest client.
Sounds like a combination of a GAN[1] and RLHF. Not surprising that this works.

they have to assert it in court and usually don't
I know you’re trying to be edgy here, but if I was deciding between searching online and finding a source vs trying to shortcut and use GPT, but GPT decides to hallucinate and make something up - that’s the deceiving part.

The biggest issue is how confidently wrong GPT enjoys being. You can press GPT in either right or wrong direction and it will concede with minimal effort, which is also an issue. It’s just really bad russian roulette nerdspining until someone gets tired.
Show HN: Perlin noise Wang tile generator
This is a little script I wrote a while ago to help generate sprites for a game I was working on. You can use it to build a seemingly-infinite aperiodic noise texture that is actually composed of a relatively small number of tiles. For example, imagine a large grassy field or body of water in a 2D pixel art game, but without the obvious repeated patterns that arise from simple tiling.

The use case is pretty niche (for example, in many cases you could just evaluate the perlin noise function directly in a shader) but I thought it was a cool idea regardless.
Keep a “decision“ journal. Write down your reasons for your choices. Make predictions and observe the results. Revisit weekly.

I did this and it helped me enormously. Not only understanding actions/outcomes of myself and others but also flaws I had in tons of my own mental models and behaviors.

I would also recommend listening to the „You are not so smart“ and „beat your genes“ podcasts. Both will reference papers and books that provide further reading materials.

As far as books go, I got a lot from Nassim Talebs work and the great mental models series.
The Bleak Genius of Michel Foucault
> Customer behavior is driven by the tides of capital

Source?

The best argument against this is how elastic demand was when ZIRP ended. Customers responded to an underpriced product. When the price was raised to a profit-clearing level, it no longer cleared most of the market.
There is already a mistake. It refers to a function by the wrong name: os.path.comonpath > commonpath
Isn't the very article we're commenting on an indication that you can form a basic opinion on what makes one proprietary model different from another?

Lolwut. This is what was always said about ASN.1 and the reason that this wheel has to be reinvented periodically.
I didn't know who he was but the fact the commentor had to list his MD title and position gave it away
Proof reading articles seems to be a lost art. Granted, it's not a paid magazine so resources for that can't be abundant.
So you're the reason I had to put numbers in my username, eh?
The generated C++ interfaces to gRPC are also filled with an incredible amount of indirection and unnecessary concepts. I'd say it's a "bad at writing complex things simply" culture rather than being Java-specific.
Not OP but the screenshot in the article pretty much shows something that it's not at the source.

You'd like to get the "correct" answer straight away, not watch a discussion between two bots.
Chiming in as the founder of https://www.inngest.com. It looks like Hatchet is trying to catch up with us, though some immediate differences:

* Inngest is fully event driven, with replays, fan-outs, `step.waitForEvent` to automatically pause and resume durable functions when specific events are received, declarative cancellation based off of events, etc.

* We have real-time metrics, tracing, etc. out of the box in our UI

* Out of the box support for TS, Python, Golang, Java. We're also interchangeable with zero-downtime language and cloud migrations

* I don't know Hatchet's local dev story, but it's a one-liner for us

* Batching, to turn eg. 100 events into a single execution

* Concurrency, throttling, rate limiting, and debouncing, built in and operate at a function level

* Support for your own multi-tenancy keys, allowing you to create queues and set concurrency limits for your own concurrency

* Works serverless, servers, or anywhere

* And, specifically, it's all procedural and doesn't have to be a DAG.

We've also invested heavily in flow control — the aspects of batching, concurrency, custom multi-tenancy controls, etc. are all things that you have to layer over other systems.

I expect because we've been around for a couple of years that newer folks like Hatchet end up trying to replicate some of what we've done, though building this takes quite some time. Either way, happy to see our API and approach start to spread :)
Shopping app Temu is "dangerous malware," spying on your texts, lawsuit claims
The delivery service in my area has no competition. You order from their version of restaurant menus on which the prices have been jacked up. Then you pay a delivery fee. Then you pay a service fee. Then you have to deal with drivers making minimum wage who can be surly if not tipped enough. It more than doubles the price of a meal, so few people use it.

Is this DoorDash's plan once they've driven their competitors out of the market? The market will shrink and it will take quite some time to recoup their expenses. Maybe that's okay in their books. Own the whole pie even if you shrink it.
What does that have to do with grpc support in C#?
In the critical limit every GPT critic chain is essentially a spellchecker.
Replacing batteries doesn't happen often at all - it's like replacing an engine on an ICE - I haven't had to do anything like that in decades (and I keep my cars for 10+ years).

I will give you that parts-availability for EVs are an issue (esp. Teslas = single supplier). Insurance replacement cost and coverage is also probably higher for a higher-end EV.

The cost of gas vs. charging can be significant though.
I keep hearing about people using these for coding. Seems like it would be extremely easy to miss something and then spend more time debugging than it would be to do yourself.

I tried recently to have ChatGPT an .htaccess RewriteCond/Rule for me and it was extremely confident you couldn't do something I needed to do. When I told it that it just needed to add a flag to the end of the rule (I was curious and was purposely non-specific about what flag it needed), it suddenly knew exactly what to do. Thankfully I knew what it needed but otherwise I might have walked away thinking it couldn't be accomplished.
Not sure if you have seen it already : https://youtu.be/uvU5dmu4sl8?si=cCQ7ZOriFp4rdmQM. As much as I love architecture and design, this take is pretty funny and relatable to many BS architecture.
not to avocate violence,but when i was a kid minors were basically immune to prosecution, it was also well known that when a kid got caught doing a bart simpson they would get the hell thrashed out of them until they escaped.

ideally that was supposed to quench the problem right there.

then again those were the days of a burning bagfull of [X], on the front steps type of pranks.
Gemini models on Vertex AI can be called via a preview OpenAI-compatible endpoint [1], but shoving it into existing tooling where you don't have programmatic control over the API key and is long lived is non-trivial because GCP uses short lived access tokens (and long-lived ones are not great security-wise).

Billing for the Gemini models (on Vertex AI, the Generative Language AI variant still charges by tokens) I would argue is simpler than every other provider, simply because you're charged by characters/image/video-second/audio-second and don't need to run a tokenizer (if it's even available cough Claude 3 and Gemini) and having to figure out what the chat template is to calculate the token cost per message [2] or figure out how to calculate tokens for an image [3] to get cost estimates before actually submitting the request and getting usage info back.

i suggest endeavour if you already know & like arch but would prefer more convenience (and are willing to accept a slightly opinionated setup as a starting point). or if you need to be at the bleeding edge but aren't thrilled at the thought of configuring every little piece yourself.

but rolling-release distros does mean one day you might update and reboot and something is broken. it's more maintenance than fedora.
> That's quite a claim. A single modern airliner is 300,000-500,000 parts (depending on the model) that have to be manually inspected by multiple people compared to a tiny IC that can be automatically tested by a machine or a PCB that can be electrical tested with automated probes.

I was very specific on mentioning bodywork of the aircraft as a critical main component that they shouldn't left suppliers do their own QC, not all the 300-500k parts...

Wow, this is sad news indeed for the world at large, but also me personally. I'm suddenly in deep regret for having procrastinated reaching out the thank him. He doesn't know this, but he was somewhat of a mentor for me.

In the early 00s I bought a laptop that had an RTL 8188 CE card in it that ran awful under Linux. I forked his driver and made a number of changes to it and eventually got my wifi working really well (by doing things that could never be upstreamed due to legal/regulatory restrictions). Over the years I rebased often and reviewed the changes, and learned a lot from watching his code. It took a bit of getting used to, but a certain amount of beauty and appreciation emerged. One thing was very clear: This man was doing a lot of the work to keep the ship together. Even just keeping the driver compilable with each kernel release often took some non-trivial refactoring, which he did reliably and well.

Larry, you will be missed my friend. RIP.

If you are waiting to reach out to somebody, don't wait too long or it may suddenly be too late. The years can slip by in a flash.
The jetbrains profiler lets you quickly "Scope to X", so you can scope to the second or third highest ranked functions and see their breakdown too, so you don't need to fix the highest to get a full understanding.
Wouldn't a non-DWH SQL database work as well? Most RAG datasets seem like they would fit in a small DB.

This obsession with extreme diets is a very American phenomenon. The human body will adapt to any diet that's given, it matters very little in practice. Just eat sensibly and listen to your body. That's pretty much it. Queue the hucksters and grifters who say "avoid X!", while they themselves are on high doses of rHGH, TRT, AAS, etc
It is normal that you bonk when you start and run out of glycogen. Your body adapts after a few days.
I’ll never be able to get the image out of my mind from when I was about 12 or so, in the toy isle with a friend who rode his bike to the store with me… I had a toy limousine in my hand and I caught sight of a puddle on the ground which lead to my friend who was still peeing directly into his black spandex shorts. It’s bizarre how clear those details are after literally decades.
Exact same problems and I went the iPad mini route. Honestly, it was worth it. I bought an older one to save cash and it works great.

General purpose computing, you miscreant!
If you freeze it, it won't cut to the diameter of the barrel.
Always Scrutinize Legacy KPIs and Processes
Alias analysis is critical. Knowing what loads and stores can alias one another is a prerequisite for reordering them, hoisting operations out of loops and so forth. Therefore the compiler needs to do that work - but it needs to do it on values that are the same type as each other, not only on types that happen to differ.

Knowing that different types don't alias is a fast path in the analysis or a crutch for a lack of link time optimisation. The price is being unable to write code that does things like initialise an array using normal stores and then operates on it with atomic operations, implement some floating point operations, access network packets as structs, mmap hashtables from disk into C structs and so forth. An especially irritating one is the hostility to arrays that are sometimes a sequence of simd types and sometimes a sequence of uint64_ts.

Though C++ is slowly accumulating enough escape hatches to work around that (launder et al), C is distinctly lacking in the same.
Haha OK, some avian plumage enthusiasts might find that a bit of a detour though!

I think there is valid criticism of google for inventing a cool technology only to have the rest of the industry discover its usefulness before them. But to say Gemini 1.0 or OG Gemma aren't first generation models because BERT and flan existed before is like saying the iPad wasn't a first generation device because Apple made the Newton. Like sure, they're the same in that they're transformers trained on language and text, but these are new families of models. The training mechanisms are different, their architectures are different, the data sets are different, the intended purpose of the models are completely different, etc. At some point I guess it's a semantic difference, maybe.
RPC/proto is for transport.

Required/validation is for application.
