The term you need to Google is the "Paradox of Tolerance". There have been many scholarly articles written on the subject far too long to fit in a HN post.
Sigh. Yes, everyone knows what the goal is. But that goal is in conflict with the design decisions made in Go, and there's no clear path forward. You're not responding at all to the actual implications of types without zero values. There's no such thing as a "type that cannot be sent over a channel" or "a type that cannot be a map value" or "a type that when added anywhere in a composite type prevents omitting fields in composite literals" or "a type that cannot be comma-ok type asserted to". And it's highly unlikely such concepts will be added to the spec.

You'd have to start by constructing replacements for all those mechanisms, then migrate all Go source code in the world over to the new APIs, just to enable Go to have types without zero values.
Easier to just name batches using seconds-since-the-epoch, so you don't have worry about such collisions.
thanks for the shoutout, we benchmarked our approach against other function-calling techniques and we've been able to beat all other approaches every time (even by 8%!) just by getting better at parsing the data and representing schemas with less tokens using type definitions instead of json schema.

You can take a look at our BFCL results on that site or the github: https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml

We'll be publishing our comparison against OpenAI structured outputs in the next 2 days, and a deeper dive into our results, but we aim to include this kind of constrained generation as a capability in the BAML DSL anyway longterm!

Would be nice to have a price transparency of goods. It would make processes like this much more easier to track by store, and region.

For example, compare the price of oat milk at different zip codes and grocery stores. Additionally track “shrinkflation” (same price but smaller portion).

On that note, it seems you are tracking price but are you also checking the cost per gram (or ounce)? Manufacturer or store could keep price the same but offer less to the consumer. Wonder if your tool would catch this.

> Allegedly artists are missing out when you purchase a song from some service, and then copy that song to a media player somewhere.

I don't know much about copyright law for media, but wasn't the core issue commercial usage and distribution? I believe once I buy something, I'm entitled to consume it however I see fit, whether it's from a CD player, or a file on my computer. I love CDs as a physical artifact, but the convenience of digital files is superior.

> hard copies of music doesn’t look like it’s a thriving business.

Most people I know only do ambient music or party music. Focused listening is a rare thing. For the first two option, streaming is great, as you don't need to worry about where the files comes from and if you've synced them to the player. But once you've got a collection albums you really do like, the current state of streaming software makes it difficult to manage them there.

As for me, the albums I do like to listen to, I already have them in my collection. For anything else, I go to youtube.

The new generation of AI search will likely use traditional indexes or RAG followed by the AI reading the results to do higher level filtering. If you look at how search gpt, kagi experts, or the hugging face llm search works I think that will be the direction.

Possibly even personalized agents could do this locally. You'll have to verify exactly as much as you do currently with old-style search, but ideally with much higher quality results and ranking, and no ads. For simpler things likely the answer will be directly trust worthy.
Can't share sheet, but I use combination of old twitter - allows paginated twitter timeline copy (otherwise twitter unloads tweets), and copycat which copies in markdown, and run it process it through sheets. Outcome is something like this:

https://imgur.com/a/S5xTlPp

I have another sheet with twitter handles and an emoji tag for whitelist and list.

Every morning I'll load old twitter, search for the last processed tweet (saved in C2), usually a few pages of infinite scroll. Copy and past the mark down to F3:F, and run a script to process markdown into a daily twitter digest sorted by tag, handle, tweet in chrono order. Usually 300-600 tweets a day from white list of ~150. Date also links to the original tweet. B3 shows how many new tweets, D3 filters by oldest date. B2 drop down from whitelist to view tweets individual handles. Limitation is old twitter timeline does not show retweets (don't care about), or replies... which I also rarely care about. Every once in a while I'll scrape a users "tweet & replies" timeline to get everything.

Pre API crackdown this use to be a great automated service by streamspigot. There a few months automation worked on sheet script + importrss with nitter instances. Now just PIA, unless I figure out scraping (not that technical).

Solution not as automated, have to maintain process at least every few days (infinite scroll / autopagination bugs out after ~1000 tweets), but takes a few min to get my white list into a managable digest so I don't waste time on the app, which I then listen to via TTS like podcast.

For your purposes scraping the user-visible site probably makes the most sense since in the end, their users' eyes are the target.

I am typically doing one-off scraping and for that, an undocumented but clean JSON api makes things so much easier, so I've grown to enjoy sites that are unnecessarily complex in their rendering.

Yes, they work. Cold calling and similar methods are all about the the numbers so even if you are immune to them, enough people aren't. Pesticides isn't everyone's cup of tea, perhaps you'd be more swayed by Doctors without Borders soliciting donations for aid to Gaza or something? You want to tell Jenny the volunteer you're so cheap so can't make a $5 donation? And before you know it you have signed up for a $10 monthly donation. Jenny will send you a thank you card in the mail. :) Couple the emotional manipulation with some insistence and aggressiveness and you'll have lots of sales.

BTW, I don't think you are immune. The only truly immune people are those that don't understand the language and/or have no money.
"It is illegal for me to explain my position" is some grade-A bullshit my friend. I'm still laughing at the sheer chutzpah at trying to make that argument. It's got that "I can't fight you because my fists are classified as deadly weapons by the government" level of teenager argument.

Am I a bad person for starting this exercise, then immediately alt-tabbing over to type this comment into HN? (The counter appears to still run when the window is not in focused.)
You're aware hosting companies can have locations in multiple countries but still be controlled by a parent company in the US? So if the US parent company doesn't play ball, that has the potential for downstream issues in the other hosting locations. Easier/safer as the company to just play ball. If you're so concerned about this, find a host based and run solely from a safe country and not controlled by a US-based entity.
Is it really crazy town? What he’s alleging here is that there is a cartel of advertisers that are behaving in anti-competitive ways. And I think that is obviously true when you look at how the ad agencies and their clients (whose spend is controlled by these agencies) act at the same time in politically charged situations. There are a few big ad agencies and they happen to control advertising through various means like their size, network effects, various practices, and also by trying to outsource their collusion into frameworks like GARM.

I am honestly surprised at the hostile response to this from HN. The right to associate freely is not what is being debated here - the article clearly says this is about anti trust. Corporations do not have the right to just do whatever they want. But leaving aside the technicalities - the existence of powerful corporate lords that control what speech is allowed is just bad. If this situation were reversed, where a small group of powerful advertisers were colluding to suppress your speech, you would definitely be upset and not would not be defending corporate power hindering free speech, which is a foundational piece of democracy.

PrivacyGuides (not affiliated with them, just find it a useful resource), highlights Proton, Mullvad, and iVPN as reputable depending on your use. They state Proton does not support ipv6 yet, Mullvad removed remote port forwarding, and iVPN the same.

For another couple data points - my middle aged friends with kids who moved to my city did so for much of the same reason as you suggest the younger and older folks do.

The Page Visibility API has been around for quite a while: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibi...

That said, as far as I can tell they aren't actually using it, although it is pretty hard to tell - I don't find any mention of it (as the string "visibilitychange", or "hidden" as an object prop, in the minified code) in the page or the linked sources. The timer did disappear after I had had the tab backgrounded for a little while, but clicking "I Quit" only pops a premium upsell sheet, so who knows.

In entire fairness, though, I don't think they're really treating it as a particularly rigorous experiment in the first place. Assuming good faith on participants' part in the general case seems reasonable, especially given that it is paywalled and thus not too susceptible to widespread gaming of the 4chan stripe. And they are using Sentry and DD RUM on the experiment page, so if it really meant that much to them, they probably could filter out at least some confounders.

(edit: On reflection, they'd have done well to support the fullscreen API here, which in its modern iteration I believe can be used with any block-scoped element, or maybe just any element. But it looks like the UI for this had to be put together in a hurry and maybe mostly outside the confines of their CMS, so I don't suppose I can really blame whoever wrote it for the omission.)

This is not helpful:

> This helped us realize that there is a vocal minority who still, for very good reasons, finds this phrase protected and specific.

It's not a vocal minority who fights misuse of the term open source. It's basically everyone invested in this movement, even if FOSS has come to be a clearer wording in my circles. It's a minority of business men trying to misapply the term to have their cake and eat it too, to create "open source" software without giving the freedom rights that define open source.

Just call it source available then and live with the negative connotation. They are justified.

Also:

> Today, nearly all open source software is written by or financed by corporations.

It's always a bit sad and funny when people living in their bubble lose the grasp on reality. The statement is of course not true at all, the big majority of open source software continues to be written by free developers in their free time. But someone from that side of the business world wouldn't know that. What is true is that many big projects are controlled by corporations, and there is corporate influence on the biggest independent projects, like Linux. But that's not what the statement said.

I'm not saying that sampling and majority voting performed worse. I'm saying that multi-agent interaction (labeled Debate and Reflection) performed worse than straightforward approaches that just query multiple times. For example, the Debate method combined with their voting mechanism gets 0.48 GSM8K with Llama2-13B. But majority voting with no multi-agent component (Table 2) gets 0.59 on the same setting. And majority voting with Chain-of-thought (Table 3 CoT/ZS-CoT) does even better.

Fundamentally, drawing multiple independent samples from an LLM is not "AI Agents". The only rows on those tables that are AI Agents are Debate and Reflection. They provide marginal improvements on only a few task/model combinations, and do so at a hefty increase in computational cost. In many tasks, they are significantly behind simpler and cheaper alternatives.

I am fairly certain that agents are the same thing as prompts (but also could be different).

Only the chat prompt/agent/whatever is connected to RAG; the image generator is DALLE and the router is a one-off call each time.

eg, it could be the same model with a different prompt or a different model + different prompt all together. AFAIU it’s just serving a different purpose than the other calls
While mature and time-honored, not modern, utilities like sed and envsubst go a long way to managing any config. Making a "modern cli" application that wraps existing functions is like giving someone a fish, as opposed to teaching them to fish with stable and ubiquitously available tools.

I mean, it's gross, but most of us work for monsters if you go far enough up the chain.

For the last two years, I've been trying to break into the trading world, not because I think it's this hyper-ethical thing [1], but because it pays well and it seems interesting, and I'm not really ashamed to admit it. Does that make me a whore or a mercenary or sellout? Absolutely, there's really no getting around that, but I think if most people are being honest, we're all a little selfish.

I don't think I'm an especially selfish person, and I would like to think I wouldn't defraud anyone, but I certainly have worked for companies that used very questionable labor practices in developing nations where it's hard to justify outside of "it's really cheap and it's not illegal", an of course that upsets me a little, but fundamentally Tombert is a for-profit enterprise just as much as the business that hires me.

Similarly, while it's obviously bad that they defrauded people, I don't think that that author was saying that it's good, or even good to want it. They said "kind of", sort of implying that "yeah, a part of me really would have liked to have a lot of cash and it would have been cool to get it", which I don't really think is that bad. I've thought about directly stealing money from rich people before, it would be nice to have a million bucks, but I've never done it because that would be unethical.
