agree with this and we're an alexa household, which I don't love, but we tried a homepod and friggin' siri was (still is?) shockingly inept when it specifically came to setting multiple timers, adjusting timer duration, cancelling timers, etc. it feels pretty dumb having Alexa and all the potential snooping just to set timers and for an inferior Spotify-playing experience (sound quality of the ones we have are not good), but... here we are.

that said, considering how much we rely on alexa for timers and spotify, what I really want is a homepod for the sound quality (if apple and Spotify would just start playing nice), privacy (yes, in a world with a lack of privacy I actually believe apple is basically our best bet given the ecosystem choices) and mostly for the potential of apple intelligence, which, if it worked as well as chatgpt today in "conversing" with you I'd be over the moon about.

does anyone else primarily interact w chatgpt via voice? it really does seem incredible how you can start with a superficial question about a topic and then keep digging down. it's replaced a lot of my information-seeking google searches, which I have never used voice with, with a voice app that I would use endlessly if I didn't have to open the chatgpt app and tap on the microphone button (that may seem crazy, but think of all the time you spend away from your phone, or like others are saying, with something in your hands, where you voice is the ui).

p.s. can't leave this comment without saying that, yes, I worry about the privacy implications of all of this stuff daily, but guess I'm dumb enough that I still use all of these privacy-invading devices
Humans also don't learn by reading the entire internet... assuming human psych studies apply to LLMs at all is just wrong.
The official unicode name is "pistol" (explained as "handgun, revolver"), and the example representation is a modern magazine-fed pistol [1]. Changing it back to what it's supposed to be is fine by me.

The neutron is really an additional chemical element, the element with Z=0.

It belongs in the group of noble gases, together with helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon. Like radon, it is unstable, but also like radon it is widespread in nature as a product of radioactive decays.

The element with Z=0 has multiple isotopes, like any other chemical element. Unlike for any other element, the possibility of gravitational stabilization makes the number of its stable isotopes potentially infinite.

The neutron stars can be seen as belonging to the isotopes of the chemical element with Z=0.

I wonder if CrowdStrike did do a phased rollout (as they should), but didn't notice that the update was causing crashes?

Not sure if that would make them more or less incompetent...
This is a really good question.

2FA is touted as improving security, but whether it in fact does depends on the individual user's weighting factors on the confidentiality-integrity- availability triad.

Your situation sounds like one wherein the raise on the risk to availability easily outweighs the drop on the other two.

2FA aside, the other consideration is additional risk from having made your phone available to Google's opaque verification process. If e.g. Google would offer your thief password recovery via the the phone number, then involving your phone with your Google account could be very unsafe.

The same for “deleted” repos.
Fallacy fallacy.

Naive Realism fallacy.
It takes some time, some effort, and some thought, especially if that is your current default way of interacting with people. Not a ton, though. But not zero, either.
It's more like a week of downtime which totals to about a billion based on the data you brought in.

So, just one of the affected companies brings the total to $1B, wouldn't you say $5B is actually a low estimate?
And yet "free market forces" are often the reason why monopolies and oligopolies arise...?

Monopolies are entirely consistent with free market economics. After all, if there's clearly a "best product" for a particular niche, it's entirely rational (free market actor) behavior for everyone to use the same product, leading to its monopoly in that market segment.

I don't understand why people think this isn't/won't be/shouldn't be a common result of "free market forces".
I didn't find anything mentioning it online at the time. But there wasn't much time and dedication involved either, to be fair. I discovered it completely on accident when I combined a commit hash from my local client with the wrong repository url and it ended up working.
I've never heard of a treatment where the symptoms aren't treated while the root cause is sought and hopefully tackled.
That hasn't been my experience. I have never experienced or heard of a doctor deceiving or lying in real life. I dont think I can think of an example from hospitals either.
I think the issue of trust is a part of it, but not the most crippling when it comes to purchases. It's not that I don't trust Alexa is that I have no idea how to communicate what I need. There are thousands of options for any product - so which one should Alexa pick? How can I tell what sliced bread I want it to order without seeing the available options and prices?..
Figma is a tool and nothing more, despite some people to turn it into the end all be all of user experience. It will eventually be replaced with something, just as it replaced Sketch, and just like Sketch replaced Illustrator. I also noticed that the author barely touches on the people who make the interfaces (product designers). If the author gets their wish, businesses won't hesitate to axe their UX teams to save some costs.

Disclaimer: I'm a product designer who is very skeptical of the enthusiasm around AI as I can see a future where product will instead rely on AI instead of designers to create interfaces.

At some point the element will decay faster than it can exist. There are already subatomic particles that get created on one side of the particle and decay on the other, i.e. their lifetime is shorter than that time it takes for light to travel from one side of the particle to the other.

Atoms are much bigger than subatomic particles, so they have to live even longer in order to exist.

I mentioned Trek because that's what Wired recommends. Specifically the Trek FX+ 2 which is something like $2500 which seems fair. Does Trek have an okay reputation? There are 5 bike shops selling and servicing Trek in my city so that's why I was leaning towards them.
Not letters, but tokens. Think that it's translating everything to/from Chinese.
Yup big reason I have a Discover and not AmEx. I do not have the best credit, but mostly because I carry balances. Yet I've never missed a payment in nearly 25 years (since being in college) and that was with Discover. I have the same account since then. But AmEx would never accept me.
Wow, being accused of a shill at the same time as the most uncharitable take on my comment possible.

I'm in no way associated to AmEx other than being a customer. I'm a frequent traveler and formerly digital nomad (78 countries and counting), and so have had many opportunities to see the benefit of my card. I've even mentioned one particular instance before on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36624867 Since HN skews towards people who work in the tech industry, I imagine I am not alone in that many of us are likely folks who both travel often and have an AmEx.

I didn't say anything about Europeans, and I didn't say people who don't have an Amex are financially illiterate or poor, I said the folks who Amex has as customers are affluent and better at handling their finances (read: better at paying off their debts). This is reflected in the data, including what is shared in the post. It's not at all a controversial statement, and espousing the positive side of that coin does not indicate in any way that I believe or hold the views from the other side of the coin.

Mike Benz seems more politically connected than CrowdStrike...
If I show you a strawberry and ask how many r’s are in the name of this fruit, you can tell me, because one of the things you know about strawberries is how to spell their name.

Very large language models also “know” how to spell the word associated with the strawberry token, which you can test by asking them to spell the word one letter at a time. If you ask the model to spell the word and count the R’s while it goes, it can do the task. So the failure to do it when asked directly (how many r’s are in strawberry) is pointing to a real weakness in reasoning, where one forward pass of the transformer is not sufficient to retrieve the spelling and also count the R’s.
This, plus the fact many of the products sold by Amazon now are fakes and low quality items. I almost never order from Amazon now and doing it blindly via Alexa is not an option.
Music rights aren't cheap. Just ask Spotify.
They imply, without saying it fully, that someone should have already known the update would bork the world, but failed to see it for some incompetent reason
It's common to use short hash in pull request, and then modify or rebase the commits.

The solutions are:

* Force people to use the full hash.

* Get use to a lot of dead links.

* Claim that it's a feature, not a bug.

As a programmer, I find that much more than a wireframe guide is distracting. That said, I tend to have a good understanding of the UX rules for a given design style (often material) and the ui library/tools I'm using. Sometimes I might have questions about the interaction.

On the flip side, I've seen developers that just about need a functional example to work out anything and will still have issues with real functionality. So YMMV.
Trying to parse the output of several procfs files isn't as easy as it looks. The per-pid maps file for one (smaps is even worse). Much better if I could just get a struct with all this information.

Well it's not perfect because they didn't accept me and I spend a great deal but always pay my debts.
I think you're right. When I was experimenting with llama 1, I was able to easily observe that with a short prompt and a long response, the response _rapidly_ degraded the longer it went, because it was seeing and amplifying the patterns in its context window so far.

It is intuitively obvious that these problems would get even worse if the garbage output found its way into the training set, and not just into the context window.

That they didn’t already do this is so baffling. Even my podunk little IT department does this.
The obvious inference from this is that the bad update was trickled out to some customers on the 16th and it took them 2 days to report the issue because they were all busy figuring out why every machine was blue-screening.
Alternatively it took CrowdStrike 2 days to notice that their traffic was disappearing and put 2 and 2 together as to why.
Really good (and underdiscussed) point that Figma designs are not just for consumption by developers.

I know this is a cliche phrase, but when you're trying to align stakeholders (PM, manager, VP, dev lead) on a product, it is genuinely very useful to have really nice, hi-fi mockups to make sure everyone is talking about exactly the same stuff.

It's also definitely a scale thing. If you have 500 developers, it's probably worth putting in some extra sweat just to make sure they're all using the exact same button, etc

If you have 10 devs... yeah, hard to justify a super-perfectly-polished design system for every single bit of your frontend, IMO.
He will direct Microsoft to continue investing in them? He's the CEO, and their investment in OpenAI has already paid dividends in the MSFT stock price. There is absolutely no world in which he voluntarily decides, "Actually, a few billion is too expensive for my 3 trillion dollar company, time to jettison the biggest growth driver of the past three years."
Sure, but most people are by definition not high risk.
I had a jest, at one point, where I would assume you are not modeling a password in your system. :D I'm assuming you'd instead model an AuthenticatedUser or some such. To that end, I'm fine with giving leeway to the modeling here. We are going for pedagogy.

To that end, if this is a matter of going fast due to constraints of a message board, I am fine. My specific confusion was at the start where you had `Admin = Name x Password`. I'm not at all clear on what that would communicate to me in the types of any variables I would have in my code.
I love the idea but the only way I would ever use a product like that is if it's fully local and open source. No company is getting my "therapeutic conversations".
Higher credit limits mean many good things:

* The bank is confident you will pay back your debts.

* Your credit utilization will be lower relatively speaking, which banks really like.

* You can put more spend on your card if and when you really need to.

It's always worth waiting for the billing cycle to close before paying the statement balance if it is practical to do so.
"Something is wrong with this person's brain" is obviously a cheap personal internet swipe, and that's not allowed here.

I had that card almost 20 years ago, until Amex abruptly closed both that and my "Student" Amex Blue that had very few benefits. Their letter referenced that "something on my credit report" and apparently the one forgotten payment I'd had recently, to Macy's for $60 (forgot I had used the card) was an unforgivable sin, surely portending a bankruptcy filing in their view, I guess.

I harbored a grudge over that for about 15 years, but finally got back on the Amex bandwagon with a Gold card a few years ago. 4 points per dollar on dining and groceries works out really well for me.
> git is based on content addressable storage, so it makes sense that anything that is every public will never disappear.

No. That doesn't make sense. It only sounds vaguely plausible at first because content addressable storage often means a distributed system where hosting nodes are controlled by multiple parties. That's not the case here, we're only talking about one host.

Imagine we were talking about a (hypothetical) NetFlix CDN where it's content addressed rather than by UUID. Would anyone say "they forgot to check auth tokens for Frozen for one day, therefore it makes sense that everyone can watch it for free forever"?
Both. There's a huge difference between designing a functional chip and designing a chip with high yield and long term reliability. Companies and individuals vary wildly in their processes and understanding.

It's becoming a wide spread problem in the industry. For decades technology-minded folks have been told to go into software development because that's where the money is. The field of custom IC design has been both short on applicants and has had huge barriers to entry. As a result, the experienced engineers are retiring and there aren't enough juniors coming up to replace them. Skills and institutional knowledge are being lost.

There is a lot of focus right now on tools such as AI to allow junior people to produce things at an expert level based on encoding that expert knowledge. It would be great if it worked, but so far the results aren't there.

How would that prevent a thief using the main device to take over your account?
Notice though, that all these improvements have been with pretty basic transformer models that output all their tokens-- no internal thoughts, no search, no architecture improvements and things are only fed through them once.

But we could add internal thoughts-- we could make the model generate tokens that aren't part of its output but are there for it to better figure out its next token. This was tried QuietSTAR.

Hochreiter is also active with alternative models, and there's all the microchip design companies, Groq, Etched, etc. trying to speed up models and reduce model running cost.

Therefore, I think there's room for very great improvements. They may not come right away, but there are so many obvious paths to improve things that I think it's unreasonable to think progress has stalled. Also, presumably GPT-5 isn't far away.
Profitable how?
Security disclosures are like giving someone an unsolicited gift. The receiver is obligated to return the favor.

> They will recommend creating social media accounts and posting a little bit regularly so that your social media credit score can build.

Hey, now there's a great use for genAI. If we decline to the point where social media use is basically required, I'd totally just set up an LLM to post made-up stuff automatically for me so I won't have to bother doing it myself.
eh im kinda embarrassed by it haha. its mostly 1yr out of date now. want to do a complete rewrite
That's such a great tip! A little communication can go a long way.

And for my side, I try to distinguish between someone being a jerk and someone I just don't mesh with. I'm thinking of a specific coworker right now. They and I mixed like oil and water. They're smart, competent, and well-meaning. I respect them professionally. However, something about them rubbed me the wrong way, and I'm certain they'd say the same about me. We were never going to be work buddies. They weren't being a jerk, though. Our personalities weren't compatible, no more. I'd still give them a good reference.

Because of literally this issue? I'm not sure if you're doing a generic "I don't like github" or know for a fact that CodeCommit doesn't have issues like this.

This seems like a terrible security vector but I'm not sure migrating thousands of repos out of github vs. training engineers to keep public and private repos completely separated makes sense and you haven't explained why you use CodeCommit.

Unless it is this reason, which like I said, seems a bit heavy handed, but I rarely move private repos to public.

I kind of assumed this was a distributed Git problem, not Github, but I don't know.
Most people I know of exceptional ability in programming end up exploited by business people. The majority do not capitalize on the skills they bring to the table, aside from working a good job in big tech if they decide to go that route. Don't underestimate the degree to which all workers are exhausted, and that it is likely less correlated with your talent than you think
The industry has always been kind of monolithic. I'm not sure you can count qualcomm as a competitor just yet. competing means being in the same market. Laptop, desktop and server have all been categories that havent seen anything other than x86 for a long time.

I cook a lot and totally get this feeling, but honestly your cooking hands probably aren't gross. And if they are you're probably doing something wrong, in which case some cooking classes will be both very enjoyable and eliminate the problem.
Used to use it a lot, still like it and the handful of times I've needed something similar, it's what I reach for.
Tldr; earth is not a perfect sphere. Rotation of the earth makes the middle fatter. Density of areas of the earth make gravity change. The lowest density area is off the coast of India and it confused people since 1948. We recently did a computer Sim of 19 scenarios across 150m years of tectonic plate movement and magma density and temp. A couple scenarios predicted "plumes of magma" with different density under that area. The models didn't accurately predict some other known tectonic and volcanic activity, so really we just have a really good preliminary theory.

I don’t use GitHub for anything serious, rather my own Gitea. However:

Does that mean a private repo that has never been or will be public isn’t accessible? That scenario wasn’t mentioned.
I think the author meant something different than how you read it. It sounds like you might agree. He is saying that if you have to mock a lot of dependencies then that is a red flag. Code that is easy to test (without writing a ton of mocks) will also be modular.
