What is so difficult in setting up and integrating GitHub with Jira for example, last time I did it, it was a few clicks?

GitHub also has mediocre issue management and a wiki and we have GitHub Actions as well.

You still need to integrate your cloud service provider with GitLab, which is exactly the same hassle as integrating it with GitHub.
The advertisements for co-pilot during the Olympics were laughably bad. An attempt at the sentimental and way overplayed trope of people using search/apps interwoven with touching life moments. In this one though, it was all a bunch of sports related achievements they had to really stretch to tie back to co-pilot. Someone using it to make a chart tracking heart rate - like I'd put any health data in that thing.

Then you have Google writing letters for your children or showing how their camera AI integrations can help you live a lie. Frankly I'm glad to see data showing consumers are turned off.

Oh! And then for the executives they have Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba talking about data security and productivity.
Somewhat a shame since they have successfully tracked down serial killers by winnowing cell phones common to multiple crime scenes.
I don't like this "you consent to the walled garden" approach for a very simple reason: you can do both. Jailbreaking has existed for over a decade but no one was complaining about the walled garden collapsing.

Opening up IOS doesn't mean you need to open up too. The garden isn't going anywher. Take it from an android user that has had choice and google play is still the dominant platform. It's just nice that when/if I need to I can download open source stuff, or games in foreign languages, or just sideload some random apps I tinker with without paying $100 for something I don't plan on releasing to the app store anyway.

These are all very niche uses and I don't understand how my existence inconvinences the garden.

>I think it’s arrogant to look at a system you aren’t even participating in (can we assume op doesn’t have an iPhone) and say “no those people are doing it wrong”

I do it with Russia and North Korea, so call me whatever you want. I'm not just going to dimiss it as "well its their culture" if their culture breaks fundamental principles I was raised on.
Is there much boilerplate aside from err checks and JSON tags? Even then, your IDE / copilot should automatically insert those along with imports and package names.
>"data suggest" isn't a strong argument

not my argument, not my words, quoted from from TFA.

> has that been applied to animals?

yes 100% it has.

> Does a dog communicate with his trainer with the depth and accuracy that an athlete does?

yes. i'm more familiar with horses, but the connection between rider/trainer and horse is very deep and precise. people build walls.

your points 1 - 4 are 100% applicable to animals just as well

in my opinion, point 5 is solidly won by the animal athletes

> Human minds are far more capable than horse minds, and so can have goals and make tradeoffs that horse minds are incapable of.

precisely. mind, and will, is not an advantage for raw performance. that's why for example donkeys and mules don't perform like horses - they are technically smarter.

> Do horses make plans for the future?

nope. not at all. they 100% live in the moment. they just like to run and love to do what they're asked to. do you see how, for an athlete, that is the almost perfect thing? it takes humans a lot of training to let their minds blank and get "in the zone". we fight against our minds sometimes.

i'm not saying human smarts or will is not an "advantage" overall. but for going fast? not necessarily. it's just not a "A huge advantage" to running.

Walter, i've enjoyed the back/forth. i also really appreciate the things you have done and created, btw. i'm not trying to be argumentative, but i am trying to expose you to how awesome these animal athletes are. really they are extraordinary. they are, in fact, the real-life dragons and mythical creatures we romanticize, and for once it's not an exageration. perhaps it's difficult to convey, but if you ever can, find a good horse to hang out with. they blow people away. even a bog average horse (or a dog) is 1000% the friend and has at least 1000% the heart of anyone you'll know.
True, but there's a lot of room for ulterior motives there too.

I mean, some of it may be about getting end-users to pay for AI-thingies, but running the ads can also be seen as investor-posturing even if if it doesn't say "buy our stock", and there may be a corporate goal of boosting the (free) usage-numbers in order to present that to investors, etc.
How did you get into the project? I’m assuming DEFCON contracted EE and you were contacted by someone later to write the firmware? Was that EE or DEFCON? And to whom did you deliver your firmware code/binaries during development? Did you deliver to EE while they were still contracted by DEFCON and to DEFCON directly after the stop work order?

Sorry for the many questions but you’re the only real source to get more info on this situation here.
In my experience, dedicated hardware has provided a baseline real-world 2x speed up over cloud instances (presumably down to no contention, local nvme). So that would be 8 hetzner instances.

I managed to squeeze out a 5x speed up total (see my other comment). In which case that would mean 3-4 instances.

Plus with shorter build times you may then find that having a builds queued up is acceptable.
They are popping up all over consumer-facing services because investors want them, not because consumers want them.
Didn't realise vi had macros, I thought they were a more recent addition.
I wonder what it means to the government use of it. Every government entity I’ve seen thus far uses gitlab. And I’m guessing because self hosting critical.
I think though, that in the absence of true AGI, it's not technically possible for the "AI" in and of itself to be an existential threat to humanity. For now, that remains the province of humans. We are and continue to be our own existential threat. AI just adds a new way in which we can threaten our own existence.
I’m wondering the same. If for example, to create GPT-5, OpenAI could credit some % of progress due to research conducted by LLMs with minimal/no human interaction, it would be a nice marketing piece.
WRT actual code editing and terminal usage the early years were dominated by text interfaces with typically at most 25 lines by 80 characters. (Greater height and width came with a steep increase in price).

This fostered shorter meaningful "names" for everything from types to variables to system commands; things were far easier to grasp when short operations fitted on a single line, at worst spilled onto few others, and functional groupings fitted on a screen.
In the future, every university chair is sponsored by Taco Bell.
A welder making double outside of the government would take a chance the more experience they have. Similiar to how many people here would rather get a job at Amazon vs the government. Chances are you are out in a year or two compared to a government job where you can survive longer for half of the pay.

Remember we are talking about experienced aircraft welders. They are not available for 20 an hour when industry is paying so much more.
I’m really impressed at the number of times they say their counterparts responded to their report in under an hour, immediately took the affected site offline, then resolved the issue quickly.

That seems like an enviable operation.
Monopoly laws are not strong enough
Or most interesting VR games, really. A controller does not allow you to have direct spatial interaction.
My understanding was that every hotel chain brand was basically a franchising operation. You'd probably want to look up the property owner and whoever was operating that specific hotel. They might own hotels of other brands which you'd want to boycott as well.
For AI journals it might even be the opposite: researchers running these tools pay OA fees for the submission, the journals make bank, the universities rise in research rankings due to more papers published, everybody is happy. Who needs real progress if the paper number goes up?
Find a high ping server today and try to admin it over ssh. You’ll appreciate the tenseness.

(Of course, you should use mosh instead of ssh with high ping servers when you’re not actively trying to appreciate the terseness.)
Embracing the power of the empty set in API design
The US EIA government has a chart on coal usage since 1950 (below). Eyeballing the graph, peak US coal was in 2007 with a pretty sharp decline since then. Since 2007 that was probably taken up by natural gas, but given the continually decreasing cost of solar, coal is on the way out.

Yes, old-school mailing lists where we converse n:n.
Oh well, it was good while it lasted. But now we need a brand new hype to replace the malfunctioning AI neon sign. Maybe "neural meta computing", or "quantum hyper reasoners"?

You see, a calm, factual, truthful and informed conversation of different technologies actual maturity, merrits and risks is in nobody's interest. /s
I am currently watching Mr. Selfridge - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2310212/ - a drama about an American who established a department store in London during the Victorian era (I presume). And there's a scene in the first episode where a suggestion to display expensive gloves openly, and to allow the prospective customer to browse through it by themselves, is showcased as an unconventional and scandalous suggestion. Looks like we are coming back full circle to keep things locked up and inaccessible to potential customers again.
Where did he described this? (Honest question)
> and he intended to forward the money to them.

That’s just a cop out and we all know it. Let’s not pretend like scammers aren’t scammers be used they might pass some money after the fact to “good causes”. If you inject a fund collecting mechanism that you control into a flow, that’s like doing a MITM attack but claiming it’s ok because you forward the traffic.
Can creators disable payment or delist from Apple users?
> Why would only motorists pay for roads if everybody benefits from existance of road transport?

Not sure the history in the US of road construction funding, but my understanding is that taxes on vehicle fuel funds the majority of road construction.

States are in acting taxes on EVs to make up for a perceived loss.
Congrats on the launch Oliver

What's the most interesting AI agent you've seen so far?

& Minor nitpick: selected filters should be added in the url so they are retained when I navigate back and forth

I'm building a product in the b2b ai space so this is interesting to me: https://prosgpt.com/. Since you've seen a lot of products in this space, would love to get your thoughts on my idea.
It's a Musktruth. A bit like a Trumptruth.
I’ve worked with on prem and now AWS. Even being on AWS I think the first part of the article is great. Nice visual and description. When on prem, scaling was an issue during event storms. But by then we at least had enough to know what the problem was.

Scaling the number of messages is no longer an issue for us using SQS but size is. Basically there are still constraints. We then need to pass references. “Details created etc find it here”. On prem we could dump around 25 MB into message without issue and could go to 50 MB but it wasn’t safe.

I get your point on the queue and pub/sub not being the same. Just to note we do a lot of hybrid and expect others do to. Publish to a topic and bridge to queues. Fan out is easy and gives choice. I don’t know google’s version, with TIBCO EMS this was easy to manage and was clear to everyone. If you wanted to listen to everything on prod.alerts.* you could or if you want to process prod.alerts.devices.headend you could just queue it and process all.

We use queues like storage for long outages so that senders don’t have to change anything. Not a great use but people were sure happy to know we could help by holding all the events while they could deal with their mess. Never got close to any limit when doing this on prem.

Never used it but isn’t the idea of Kafka to hold all events like a database? Love the idea. Seems so lazy and useful at the same time. Now that I write this I can see the danger too. You become a transaction system of record. Ugh. That’s someone else’s problem ;).
do we really call "give us your subscription money or get banned" an "interesting and working" system? That's pretty much peak antitrust fuel there. This is quite literally what Epic spent years in court fighing over.
Julia looks like a great language, but has the "time to first plot" issue been fixed yet? I don't want a REPL-centric workflow.
No, that has been replaced with the thing where you leave the towels on the floor if you don't want to have usable towels the next morning.
It wasn’t you but GP who started this thread stated:

> sub-Saharan African nations (many of which are on food aid) have fertility well above replacement levels

So which is it ? Are they above or below replacement levels?

> How does the government track anything?

While I get where you are aiming at this didn’t work in China and they have arguably the most perfect surveillance state worldwide - I don’t think this is desirable, the tradeoff in freedom and security is just too big.
Testicle. It's a small unit test.
My Go is a little rusty by now, but I thought they supported some type of dynamic linking(although if I recall correctly it comes with a number of free footguns)
Pretty uneventful. It just works.
First three are clearly documented in language reference, which could be read in several hours (at least before generics were introduced).
"HN is social media, ..."

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2647377

"4) Social media services facilitate the development of social networks online by connecting a profile with those of other individuals and/or groups."

Where are the HN "groups". How does an HN user "connect a profile with those of other invidiuals and/or groups."

"Social media" generally requires users to "log in" and create profiles in order to view the website contents.

By contrast, any web user can read HN without creating a profile and without logging in.

The majority of HN content is not user-generated, e.g., photos and videos created by HN users, it is content from other websites, e.g., news organisations, shared via URL.

Most HN users do not comment or submit. No user-generated content.

Even in the case of "Show HN", the content is almost always hosted by some other website.

"Social media" today is websites with pages that contain advertising purchased by third parties. Where is this advertising on HN.
> I've also never felt compelled to use Gitlab. They literally offer no significant advantage other than being an alternative to Github.

I completely disagree. GitLab undoubtedly has the best CICD service. GitHub Actions feel poorly designed and half-baked in comparison to the point they barely feel prod-ready.

It's interesting to read into the thought process of anyone picking GitHub vs GitLab, because, other than being the default with tolerable shortcomings beyond copilot, there is no compelling reason to pick GitHub.

If anything, GitLab's Achilles heel is it's massive Product Management problem. I recall that access to some features like Group Access Tokens were unexplainably removed from free access without updating documentation or even it's UI. Apparently some GitLab PM made a call to pull them out without bothering to check for the customer impact loose ends, and all loose ends were simply left in place for customers to repeatedly pester support without any action.
"Delve" and "however"
You need a meaningful cost function
Maybe that awful ad of Apple destroying perfectly functional instruments was more accurate than I expected.
Does the compiler do that? That sounds extremely unlikely, especially because an interface with only one implementation can store the nil type tag or a tagged pointer to an instance of that implementation.
Pre Microsoft I felt Gitlab was a lot better. It had a lot more features that actually worked. This was an era where Github didn't even have a built in CI solution.

Last time I used it, which was a few years ago now, it felt like Github had caught up and a lot of the Gitlab features were flaky or didn't seem to serve any purpose other than checking a sales tick list. Stuff like integrations that don't seem to really serve any purpose other than to say they are integrated.
every time I see the AI box in Clickup I cringe. it is being marketed to users we just all avoid it, as the story says.
For wiw, everything I used before on my Android now has an AI in it’s name(or screenshot) on PlayStore. So:

* The AI Browser

* AI note taking app

* AI photo gallery

* AI habit tracker

* AI budget planner

* AI music player

* AI bank

* AI hike planner

* AI icon pack(wtf?!)

* AI launcher

* AI camera

* AI news

* AI PDF reader

* AI comics viewer

* AI Maps

* AI food delivery

* AI shopping experience

* AI calorie tracker

* AI video editor

* AI backup

* AI share

* AI Authenticator(??)

* AI partner

* AI RoboAdviser(?)

* AI Wallpapers

* AI package tracker(?!)

* AI health tracker

And plenty other things I am forgetting. Even things that already had AI before are now new AI. This is getting out of hand.
I don't understand why it's unbelievable. They walk through the required logic to perform scheduling and dispatch; it looks incredibly simple and extremely suited to hiding on an OoO. The benchmark is summing down a binary tree which is going to give you a lot of space to hide what's at most a handful of instructions. There's obviously no lock contention because, like, look at the algorithm, what locks contending on what?

AFAICT this is just a really cool and really practical algorithm for microthreads with near zero cost per semantic thread.

Operator overloading can be bad when abused for non-numeric types. But for numeric types, it is indispensable.

It's not hard to remember that `__add__` is using extra resources when I'm working with big matrices in NumPy.
Sounds good on paper, but in reality you still need to pay the insane licensing fees if you need a usable product. It's like Android, I can download the source code and run it as long as I don't need extra features like a dialer and I don't mind majority of the Android apps not running on it.

If you need a truly open source solution then that would be Gitea not GitLab.
I'd agree the marketing vibe is very hype-y. And just like every other hype cycle (crypto, and nft included) it feels very scummy.

But there's a lot more substance behind AI than NFTs. As much as the hype? Maybe not. More than 0 (NFTs had 0 substance)? Very much so.

I'm more hype-adverse than the next guy, but I've gotten value from AI (just plain old ChatGPT) recently as I've deep-dived into a new area. It's kinda like having a tutor in the room to whom I ask questions as they occur to me. My "tutor" isn't perfect, but neither are humans, Google, or the internet.

So I wouldn't categorize this as "no substance". There is a lot of substance here, even if it's not quite as much as the marketeers are selling.
You can't pull a docker image from a private github container registry without a personal access token. Gitlab's group and project level deploy tokens are great.
> blunt instrument like this is likely to kill off sponsorships as a whole

That's the dream. Ads are a poison and a blight.

Removing them is something many users, including me welcome. If one wants money for their videos, they're welcome to actually allow getting payments i.e. patreon, the "Youtube sponsorship"-thing.
Nice. I've been using: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/port-authorit...

It's one of those things where I grew up on the internet since win 95/98, and it's one of those things you know you can do with scripts, but never once think that you can download javascript out there in the wild that starts pinging your LAN devices, even internal ssh -D <port> <server> SSH tunnels and can deliver exploits and payloads.

Like.. somebody somewhere thought to protect us from that before now over all these years, right? ..right? Makes you wonder. Nice script/demonstration site. Thank you.
Collins Aerospace is offering $19/hr for third shift welding work on aircraft. It was referred to me by someone in the labor community, and I spoke with HR under the guise of a prospective candidate to confirm. They do $26B/year in revenue.
