These jokers seem like the AI version of "script kiddie" hackers, and OpenAI may be engaging in a bit of humble bragging. It doesn't take considerable investments in time or money to run local LLMs, INCLUDING ChatGPT, where your questions, prompts, and results are not sent home to the mothership, so it's a BS article as to (the real) actors who may or may not be doing this. NOW, if OpenAI or Gemini or LLama, etc, showed how they analyzed social media posts and flagged the ones that were AI generated and the analysis as to WHY the article is flagged, then that would be much more useful, actionable by at least some of the readers and would put the accounts spreading the content (particularly the rebroadcast fluffers) in the spotlight.
I see this a lot, and I want to find the right words for it: I don't want the types automatically determined for what I write, because I write mistakes.

I want to write the type, and for that to reveal the mistake.
While spending is high, results are among the best in the world.

We’ve known for a long time that the cause isn’t amyloid.
I'm not really understanding the purpose of this. It seems to be the same as Linktree or Start.page or dozens of other services that allow you to curate a list of social media profiles, but people can vouch for you? But it also allows anonymous profiles?

I'd like to see an example. The website seems unfinished (the hamburger icon doesn't work). How does the voucher system work? People just click a button on your account?
It wouldn't be useful at all, and would only serve to educate malicious actors how to better evade detection.

It's like claiming a search engine open sourcing its ranking algorithm would help people be informed instead of making spammers able to perfectly hijack all the results.
It can still look like a /// with a detached keyboard that’s a continuation of the main case. Commodore did that with their office machines (the rounded ones).

I think the beige is important as part of the apology ;-)

Frankly, I’d accept a beige Mac Mini with a rainbow Apple logo on top and call it a day.

I’m sure Tim Cool lurks around these pages.
Cool! Consider posting it on ShowHN.

> I’ve personally known researchers who set the seeds in the wrong file at the wrong place and they weren’t even used by torch at all - instead, were just silently ignored, thus invalidating all their experiments. (That researcher was me)

Some assert-ing won't hurt you. Seriously. It might even help keeping your sanity.
In case my original comment wasn't clear, I thought your post was cool and interesting. I also use Hugo but had never considered the challenges of automating something like that. I liked the write up a lot.
My guess is NFC -> Extra Actions -> MIFARE Classic Keys -> Add, but I don't have any Classic keys to test on right now.
You can dispense with this if you type it on markdown or an Jupyter notebook and use quarto to render it.
Ask HN: Is there a decentralized protocol that is private by default?
Hi, I am curious if there is a decentralized protocol that only allows ppl you approve to see what you posted online.

I'd argue that when your entire approach is experimental, there is no need to fret over structures. If you are convinced that your approach can work, that's the time to design well.
DOM interactions (read, writes) are synchronous, they're very slow, and it must happen on the main thread. This can cause the browser tab to freezing if access and updates aren't carefully "curated" (ie you don't want to read-check-then-write in a tight loop; or even write too often, even if it's the same value).

It can also simplify some stuff surrounding event handling (but that's not it's main goal I think)

So people wrote various ways to defer/batch/denounce updates.

Virtual DOM is a general solution/implementation. It's not the only one, but I think you always need at least a tiny runtime to avoid too much DOM access (ie Svelte, Solid JS are fairly minimal)
Given that any self hosted open source model would have worked just as well. I can’t see this good faith post as anything more than forwarding open ais long campaign for regulatory capture.
doesn't asking llms to do diffs result in a similar problem? Any additional complexity due to formatting will degrade reasoning

why not have more granular versions of whole file editing, eg whole function? I find function at a time coding yields best results for me when I write code in chatcraft.org
God damn, me too and I feel like I’m going crazy
It’s been years and Jax is just where it was, no growth whatsoever. And that’s with all of Google forced internally to use only Jax. Look, I like the technical side of Jax for the most part, but it’s years too late to the party and it’s harder to use than PyTorch. It just isn’t going to ever take off at this point.

Oh, the existing MIFARE app already supports this new attack? That's awesome!

An IP address is not a person.
Interesting take, what would be the benefit here? If the application code writes to a resource and you change the permissions externally without updating the code you've essentially broken the application.

Russia definitely has a non zero amount of people supporting or apologizing it's actions all around the world.

It's dangerous to assume all of the content you see is simply some shady operation or fake, having controversial opinions on any topic is nothing new, millions of Americans don't believe in the moon landings.

In general I don't think it's a good idea to discuss politics online, and I feel like many talk too much geopolitics but can't even tell the policies or programs of their own city mayor candidates which are way more important for their own lives and directly impacting.
Ok that makes sense, it’s like an ORM for terraform for developers, cool
We do represent much of our cognition in language.
Sometime I feel like LLMs might be “dancing skeletons” - pulleys & wire giving motion to the bones of cognition.
Because nobody has ever jumped over one of those or triggered the motion sensor on the other side of those paddle gates or gone around the side or underneath...
Sure the world has changed -- it's somewhat like the world that many hackers invoked in the 2000s when they'd say "it's the industry that won't embrace digital -- the second they make it easier to watch/listen/access content than piracy the problem will go away".

That has more or less come to pass and naturally it's not perfect. But streaming is really young still, we're really just ending the first boom cycle now with predictable gnashing of teeth and disillusionment. For music, at least on the creator side, it's generally seen as a catastrophe. But it doesn't mean the future has to be like this.

The past had its own problems, which IMO is why "everyone knew better" -- everybody was dealing with the problems of physical distribution (but don't forget how many musicians in particular felt Napster was destroying music!).

I was never the hugest Kim Dotcom supporter back in the day or now, maybe that means I'm part of your sheeple crowd, but I supported torrenting, hated the RIAA, etc etc. I don't think about the RIAA these days -- my hatred is directed at Spotify and other rent-extractors, and I dream of a utopia where they are all permanently disrupted by decentralized technologies, or at least global forces are replaced by more local-serving ones.

The III's II compatibility mode ramps that down to 1MHz, and has other restrictions to make sure that II software cannot use any III-only features.

Without III sucking up all of Apple's R&D budget and attention c. 1979-1980, the Apple II would surely have seen earlier enhancements. The II+ (1979) would likely have had lowercase and better keyboard (which did not occur until IIe in 1983), and a new model in, say, 1981 might have shipped with an optional Apple 80-column card (again, with the IIe in actuality). Built-in 128K RAM probably would not have occurred until 1984, akin to the IIc's introduction, but earlier support for RAM expansion alongside 80 columns is possible. One of these models would likely have had the 2MHz clock, too, while no II in actuality shipped with a faster clock until IIgs in 1986.
Seems like another attempt to rationalize infotainment addiction frankly.

> your remedy is akin to choping off your head because you have a headache.

Does anyone even remember a single instance where you have gone like "oh, shit, If only had I red the news" and then seriously regretting their choice of not reading the news?

Yeah, that doesn't happen, now does it?

There's virtually zero consequences for not reading any news. If anything, there's only positives. Whenever anything of substance and significance happens, you will get to know about it without reading any news.

You're acting like there would be no information flow and information exchange without the "news". While the most actionable and relevant information comes exactly from those - other types of information exchange.

Now on the small offchance, if some news source does actually contain some valuable and directly actionable (to you) information with high signal to noise ratio, then surely go ahead and read it, why wouldn't you, it's actionable.
Is it really a duality? Why wouldn't it be legal to get paid in whatever you want... including potatoes or crypto?

Most people happen to prefer currency, but nothing should stop you from being compensated for your time and expertise in the whatever way you want.

From the article:

The court acknowledged the inclusion of EcoWatts coins in the contract in 2023. However, the employee's failure to offer a transparent means of pricing the cryptocurrency in fiat terms meant that it could not be used to enforce the payment.

“This decision reflected a traditional viewpoint, emphasizing the need for concrete evidence when dealing with unconventional payment forms.”

This seems to imply the original issue was the crypto currency called EcoWatts was difficult or impossible to value at the time. This would mean the contract would also be impossible to enforce or mediate.

You're a paramedic, so you have more training than I do. I was always taught CPR is a form of life support, and you have around three minutes from the time of arrest to begin CPR to prevent brain damage from hypoxia. So, why would seconds not matter for initiating CPR?

Perhaps this is because, as a paramedic on an ambulance, you're simply never on scene within three minutes? (As compared to a bystander)
It takes a lot of GPU to run the larger FOSS LLMs. The OpenAI API is still the cheapest way to get high-quality LLM generations.

What's baffling about it? Has Disney ever done something to indicate that they would behave in any other way? If this is your first time encountering the ruthlessness of American megacorporations, then I am truly sorry, but this is what we've incentivized. Lawsuits like this from organizations with more money than God happen every single day, and, more often than not, these companies get away with it.

Truly, this is not at all new behavior from companies like Disney, and it will keep happening as long as we continue to foster a country where this behavior is rewarded and celebrated.
If you explicitly mark types at lower levels, or just use typed libs, it's not very easy to pass the wrong type somewhere and have it still accidentally work. The most automatic type inference I can think of today is in Rust, which is all about safety, or maybe C++ templates count too.

Despite the fact that I have free oil changes with the dealership I still do my own oil changes for exactly this reason. Thanks for the reminder about the factory reset though, in case I need a warranty repair in the future.

The alternative is making it possible for developers to only think about code, not permissions, or at least specify the permissions in terms of what you want to do, not what permissions you need. Think iOS, you write "I need fine grained location access" into the manifest, you don't configure the permission system to allow you to call the API.

Another poster touched on another important point: it's important for this to be changeable independent of the code. The reason for this is actually kind of subtle. Obviously, you don't wanna have to need to rebuild in order to regenerate permissions. But the real reason, imo, is that it should be easy to parse for a human, easy to locate for a human, and also easy to parse and adjust for a machine, that might determine a permission is no longer necessary, or who is trying to build a dependency graph in order to determine who to wake up during an incident. That means it should go into configuration that is versioned and deployed alongside the code, but not in the code.

If you make this hard to understand and change, people will just copy it, and the you're back to square one. It's gotta be the easiest thing to do the right thing, because at scale, people are gonna do the easiest thing.

I feel like I'm kinda going on at length about this, so instead I'm gonna leave you with a link to a blog I wrote about the same concepts, if you wanna read more. It's about Kubernetes network policies, but really the same concepts apply to all kinds of access.

Ops type person here. We have these tools now, Terraform and cloud specific tools (Bicep/CloudFormation). What devs tend to miss is benefit to this approach puts up guardrails against common dev mistakes. Stuff like Nitric and Pulumi can end up with some really nasty deployment because there is multiple nesting, dead ends and other things that result in difficult to debug infrastructure deployment. Also JS unfortunately is not a common language for us DevOps types. We lean towards Python and Go because they are most useful for our line of work.
Clickbait headline and nothingburger article?

I don't read of any new vulnerabilities. I read that vulnerabilities have been announced at past DEFCON events and there is a new DEFCON event. Then concerns of what a hypothetical new vulneraibility could be at this point in the US election cycle. The dicussion is valid but nothing is new here?
Self-hosting LLMs is expensive at scale. It's cheaper to use VC subsidized model inference like the OpenAI APIs.
That rabbit hole goes pretty deep.

In the early 1990s, the IIgs community went through this sort of "faux workstation" phase where we had 16MHz hotrodded accelerator cards, high(er) resolution graphics cards like SecondSight, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system (GNO/ME) along with the beginnings of TCP/IP support (gstcp). If you squinted one eye, we could almost hold our own against something like SPARCStation 1 as long as you didn't want to run Mosaic. You could fire up a desktop with a few shell windows and compile C programs and telnet out while playing SoundSmith (not-quite-.MOD) songs. That is to say, we were pushing the whole mess beyond anything a sane person would even fever-dream of attempting.

The community today is putting out more releases more steadily than any other era I can recall since then, but we seem to have mostly backed off of the whole "workstation" application that was in a few dorm rooms at the time.

Edit: FWIW I just noticed the date today. Happy 8/16!
Yup… the vending machines at my university used to use mifare classic tokens with credit on such tokens… in like 2014 i was a student and ran out of money in the middle of july and barely had the money to buy a train ticket to go home for vacation… but thanks to mommy mifare i managed to survive on sandwiches from said vending machines for like two weeks.

Oh, to be young again.
If you wanted to disagree without being dismissive, you should have omitted the first sentence.

Regarding "no one works", regardless of whether it's an exaggeration, it does not mean "nobody is employed".
Describing some service/product in grandiose terms and misrepresenting it's actual use cases, utility, and applicablity, that it'll solve all your ills and put out the cat, is a grift
for as long as there have been salesmen. Silencing such salesmen would probably be a net gain, but it's hardly new and probably isn't going to change because the salesmen don't get hit with the responsibility for following through on the promises they make or imply. They closed the sale and got their commission.
This seems like more of a meme than useful analysis. That is, an analyst is trying to find a clever and memorable way to describe the world, and found a reporter at faded Newsweek to pick it up.

There are in fact significant divisions and tensions between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. And between the US and nations commonly called our allies.

What is actually happening is that a number of nations are vying to gain security, wealth, status, etc. in the face of a wave of technological and demographic change. The US is facing a number of challenges and not just from these Big Bad Four.

I think it’s silly to describe complex modern international relations using such a dated last-century term as “Cold War.” But it probably lands well with people who still read Newsweek…
No, because the child will be able to apply what they've learnt in novel ways, and experiment/explore (what-if or hands-on) to fill in the gaps. The LLM is heavily limited to what they learnt due to the architectural limitations in going beyond that.
> Capitalism works fine under certain conditions: free markets, which implies competition. The problem is that these conditions do not always prevail.

Eventually, on the free market there are winners, and these winners form a monopoly. See Nestle, Tyson foods, Apple. The big corps, having cornered the market, then squeeze the hapless users (and the ecosystem, in Apple's case) into exorbitant prices, because there is no competition. You started with your beloved "free market", ended up with a monstrous monopoly. Surprise, this is how any "free market" story ends.

If you want to avoid the trash situations that we are in today, you need to regulate the shit out of companies with antitrust, breaking them down when they become too big, not allowing them to acquire others under certain conditions and forcing them to treat their workers and customers well. This is the opposite of "free markets", and is the only way if you want a stable society.
The rot runs deep. It is an indictment of our entire society that someone would even be callous enough to make this argument in the first place, let alone for a court to seriously entertain it. By this point, we've already lost.

The article is a very subjective take. Tax havens offer a competitive service. Other governments would do well to slash taxes too to compete well.

Governments force an unrestrained tax upon everyone via moneyprinting anyway, and the price of gold reflects it.

It's desktop first right now. I haven't put much thought into mobile yet! As for horizontal scrolling, it works great with a laptop that has a gesture for horizontal scrolling. Some mice also have second scroll wheels that can be used for horizontal scrolling. In general, you can also hold shift while you scroll with the wheel and it will scroll horizontally. Eventually I would like to add customizable keyboard shortcuts to this app! It would be nice to navigate the whole thing with a keyboard.

And thank you for the thanks! :)

Funny, I’ve been doing a TODO list almost exactly like this daily plan every business day since 2009. An important thing for me is to consider it s list of things that may eventually be accomplished so that I don’t feel guilty when I don’t tick all of them. One difference for me is that in calmer days and on Mondays I also check my financial status and my own personal KPIs. (Another is that I don’t throw away, I generally keep them because I use notebooks.)

This process works very well for me. I learned it while working as a stock broker, where every day I needed to check specific economic indicators that would be published or company disclosures, call client X, Y or Z, and in days where options, swaps or forwards would expire I needed to check a few things. So I kind of got that behaviour ingrained in me, and it has helped me immensely I think.
