>> Small models, slightly improved, probably still not good enough for the same use as online models. Nothing wrong with incremental progress, however.

An even smaller language model should still be useful as part of a speech-to-text system. These should benefit from using the language model to narrow down what word is spoken in the face of ambiguity or noise.
Via the TR-69 mechanism, Verizon FiOS routers send your local wifi password to their central management system. The excuse I've heard for this is to "allow support agents to assist users who forgot their passwords"

I felt myself agreeing hard with this until I read it!

I thought it was gonna be all about ensuring your api documentation is closely coupled with your code. But it's more about using code tools to write docs.

I'm kinda two ways on it, doesn't it depend on what "docs" actually are? (I couldn't find a definition on the page). Wikipedia is a kind of documentation, but tieing it to version contril tools would massively restrict the number of people contributing and therefore the quality if the docs.

I dunno, maybe I'm missing the point.

A couple of years back I got a message on LinkedIn from Andrew Ng and I was blown away, then I quickly realized that this account was probably managed by a team of recruiters. I responded positively but mentioned some ML 101 concepts that could be applied to the problem, and the inability to engage confirmed my suspicion. So to some degree, deception has always been part of the game.

Another take on this point, the race to the bottoming of shirts has been a disaster ecologically and has fostered a throwaway culture where people don't take care or pride in an item of clothing. There's benefits on reducing the barrier to entry, but profound downsides to it as well.

I absolutely love Alexey Radul's dissertation. So interesting to see this article show up on the HN front page after I just published my own experiment with propagators yesterday: https://dthompson.us/posts/functional-reactive-user-interfac...

I need to learn more about the design decisions behind scoped propagators and why they deviate from "regular" propagators.
This is very true. Both giving and receiving attention to another human being is really important for the development of emotionally healthy connections. It is the foundation of authentic connection. This is why we've seen an epidemic of loneliness rise in step with our greater distractedness.

Giving and receiving attention is also a skill. You can get better at it.

Hi! I’m also a layman who doesn’t really know what he’s talking about.

The article ends with “ I will leave you with a question: Are we trying to make end-to-end congestion control work for cases where it can’t possibly work?”

So, it seems to me that there may not be any good solutions to latency spikes. The article is basically pointing out that you either pursue one of the unfortunate solutions mentioned, or be resigned to accept that no congestion control mechanism will ever be sufficient to eliminate the spikes. This seems a valuable message to the people who might be involved in developing the sort congestion control mechanisms they’re talking about.
London (UK) has deliberately low water pressures because the pipe network has a lot of leaks, and the lower the pressure the less water leaks out.

It's low enough that some appliances like dishwashers and washing machines give 'water supply' errors unless you run them overnight. Some houses use pressure boosting pumps to get water to the top floor.

Apparently fixing the leaks is expensive and it's free to just lower the pressure and pass the problem onto householders.

I think that the way people are mostly interacting with generative AI is not as a producer but as a _consumer_. They describe what they want, the AI makes it, and they get some enjoyment out of it, then discard it. Maybe they share it with a handful of people, but I think only a tiny percentage of people interacting with Chatgpt or MidJourney are doing anything creative or think of themselves as artists and _that's fine_.
> many people who are bad at art and writing

The thing is, you can get better at these. They are just creative skills that get better with practice (much like coding et.al.). And the skill will let you do things you can't do with AI.

> are fine doing laundry and dishes since they're good at that and we have already automated 99% of it with dishwashers and dryers.

As a related aside, I have a Fire Cube device on one of my TVs along with Jellyfin. I've been ripping all of my Blurays and DVDs to a local NAS with the objective of having my content available even if my internet connection is down. I discovered, the hard way, that the Fire TV won't function AT ALL without an active internet connection. It just says it cannot load the home page with no option to open any installed applications. Other STBs in my home worked just fine during the outage. If I can't find a way to make it run Jellyfin during an outage, it's going in the bin.
These stats are garbage though, and there have been so many analyses of the statistical and logical flaws in Tesla's reporting that there's no way that it's not at least knowingly misleading, at this point.

That being said, Teslas ARE safe vehicles. They are regularly in the top tier for IIHS safety reports. I don't mean to decry that.

But that particular page has issues.
It runs every time you build a docker image or build something in your CI
You can create a virtual environment that you don't source/activate (for your projects), then you can use that to `pip install` the libraries you want to share and add that to your `PYTHONPATH`.

Since your `PYTHONPATH` searches in order your project virtual environment will override any other libraries you have in your path, say with different version.

It will look something like this:

PYTHONPATH=${PWD}:${HOME}/envs/shared/lib64/${PYTHONVERSION}/site-packages/
This is pretty light on details, but my guess would be there’s some app that you can use to reconfigure all your Wi-Fi repeaters at once and if you use the app, it erroneously transmit the password which it needs in plain text

It’s not clear to me that the router sends the password rather than the app on your phone
Effective altruism generally encourages donating 10%+ of income, which is quite a bit more than the average American. It’s hard for me to see how it isn’t doing more good than harm, even with all the buying castles nonsense.
That sounds like a job for "firejail", at least in linux. Implementing that as part of python would be a major undertaking, and I wouldn't necessarily trust it, I'd prefer an external tool implement the sandbox.

> Despite warning Linksys in November, no effective measures have been taken.

November? November?! OK, sure, there are a lot of holidays around then. But I would have expected public disclosure on something like this by end of January at the latest, unless the vendor is actively working / communicating about it.
GUI frameworks in any language often fizzle out when they become hard. Its probably one of the larger cases of devs not knowing the massive undertaking they’re embarking on when they start.

This is such an ignorantly engineering centric perspective.

There is value in the larger organization being able to consume documentation and commenting on it and contributing to it.

There is conceptual value in some of these things, but I find it to be overstated and the downsides entirely ignored.

Most documentation systems have a version history.

And most documentation systems are far easier adopted by people other than engineers.

This is the equivalent of pointing out that figma has x, y, and z benefits and designers are fluent in it, so we should be using that for documentation.
Sometimes it is better for kids (and adults) to make mistakes and get the proper punishment, than to prevent them from making mistakes at all. It gets a little greyer when the mistake can lead to death or permanent injury though.

One of the things that is really putting me off twitter (now called X) is the whole "blue checkmarks get bumped to the top of the replies" deal.

It is so annoying to see a somewhat interesting post, and wanting to see what people are saying about it for that to just be people trying to farm engagement on a popular post. It's actually become difficult to see any kind of interesting discussion on any popular post.

This change was a huge mistake. I get it he wants people to have a real incentive to buy blue checks, but the social cost associated with it is way too high.

For the same reason sticky notes don't rip when you take one off the stack. They are "sticky", but it's not like they weld to everything. They don't need to be too sticky, because most insects are incredibly light.

C isn't magic, plenty of people understand it and lots of these projects move quite slow. That these things CVEs on ssh are so rare shows how well this process normally works. These past couple of weeks have had 3(?) ssh vulnerabilities? We often go years with one, and not all are a result of packaging some come from upstream.

Any new process needs to not just fix this problem, but also all or at least most of the problems that the existing processes fixes.
1 in 4 women report having been raped or sexually assaulted compared to 1 in 20 men. I'm not saying it's not a bigger problem for more women, I'm sure it is (after all, there is an entire section of men that get off on making people, especially women, feel vulnerable). But it's easy to get carried away with a subset of a larger problem.

I feel like a lot of feminism nowadays is confused with real issues (like what you mentioned) and the fake "patriarchy" shit which is a distraction from problems unrelated to feminism, namely oligarchy.

Time Ticks Faster on the Moon
You mention many enormous improvements:

> with good maintenance

So modernity has eliminated my need to spend time looking after clothes? That is a big win. Not having to put time into repair and maintenance is a huge improvement. It has eliminated my need to be careful with my clothes? That is also a huge win.

My grandmother used to spend hours at a time repairing socks. It is a huge win that nobody knows how to do that anymore, as time has value.

> Now we have can have hundreds of shirts for that same money

Even if we accept the decades of life for an old shirt, you only need tens of shirts to match its lifetime, so this is an order of magnitude reduction in cost.

> are made by people who can't afford to buy them in a country we've never seen

So? Plenty of employees cannot afford what their employer produces. And it is a step up from where they were before. We freed up more capable people in our own country to do more productive things than made clothing.

You are right on the environmental part.

> And, for all that, we still have people who don't have enough fucking clothing.

Where would that be? Even the poorer African countries are chaffing at how much clothing is being dumped there.

So the main loser is the environment. As a customer, I am otherwise a tremendous winner. And when AI takes over most mundane art, like animating instructional videos or making logos, I will also be a tremendous winner.

This is a pretty hot take, which is likely why you're getting downvoted, but I can at least attest to this sort of stuff happening all the time. I recently joined a global company and made acquaintances with a Serbian whose family lineage happened to be in preserving history. Our first few non-work conversations were pretty hot debates because we were talking about the same historical events from a completely different viewpoint (mainly around the actions of NATO in that area).

Anyway, I've since learned of some non-Western outlets to see the "other" side of things, and it's very interesting to compare and contrast the differences.
If we just had a normally functioning market, this wouldn’t be a problem. There will always be a “shortage” of water in California, because the sunny weather in the valley lets you grow so many profitable, water hungry crops. Picking on one particular crop is just squeezing a water balloon.

The problem is that most water in CA is a property right that’s only partially tradable, so ag water is effectively thousands of times cheaper than city water to the point where it’s mostly not even metered in the valley, but in the city, I’m supposed to worry about using an extra quarter gallon to flush my toilet, or five gallons to do a load of laundry.

I might just pay $30 for another battery and stick with this Kindle keyboard.
Show HN: We are bringing back crowd.dev for community-focused teams
Hey HN,

My business partner and I run a bootstrapped micro-SaaS company with a portfolio of over half a dozen products.

Recently, we saw that Crowd.dev and Orbit.love were acquired and subsequently shut down. Additionally, many tools in the community and open-source management space have shifted their focus towards sales and pipeline management, rather than fostering healthy communities.

Fortunately, Crowd.dev was open-source, which allowed us to revive it. We integrated it with the leading tools and are now hosting it for teams seeking a budget-friendly solution tailored to their needs, rather than one centered around sales and lead generation.

As a bootstrapped venture, we aim to scale this business appropriately while maintaining our commitment to nurturing and sustaining vibrant communities. We would greatly appreciate any feedback.

It's a product thing. You're a technical user that doesn't see the value in a non-technical well packaged, properly balanced, autodidactic product.

There's countless successful things you've probably looked at and scratched your head thinking "that's been around a long time".

I don't know if I can explain this distinction anymore. Think about something you don't really care about. Let's take socks. There's these technical features, weave pattern, stitch strength, balance of the polymers of the materials, etc I've never thought about. Instead, I find some I think I'll like and I wear them. There's zero intellectualization that goes into the process. I was probably swayed by more colorful packaging.

You gotta meet people at that level for mass appeal because most people don't care about what you care about. They're not stupid, they just don't share your passions.

Anyways I've got other things to do.
You've got to be kidding, right?
