No rocket science is harder due to tiered knowledge. Like physics or theoretical math you need foundations on top of foundations on top of foundations to learn.

Software isn’t like this hence why boot camps are more possible. Advanced concepts in CS aren’t practical. Automata theory? Not needed. You literally don’t even need a bootcamp for software tbf.

The other day I saw a bug in it, when editing a Note that another person was also editing. We were editing separate paragraphs. My cursor kept resetting to the beginning of a word after each letter I typed (and the Swype-style keyboard had the same problem). My point is, even Apple Notes doesn't get it quite right.
This is awesome! Is this using Omni?

Would love to see this for more topics, like products people are working on
It's always fun reading the dead comments on a post like this. People love to point how how pointless this is.

Some of ya'll need to learn how to make things for the fun of making things. Is this useful? No, not really. Is it interesting? Absolutely.

Not everything has to be made for profit. Not everything has to be made to make the world a better place. Sometimes, people create things just for the learning experience, the challenge, or they're curious to see if something is possible.

Time spent enjoying yourself is never time wasted. Some of ya'll are going to be on your death beds wishing you had allowed yourself to have more fun.

I don't know why truth is often downvoted here.

This is the fact from vast majority of all people I know in the industry — you only get substantial raise when you switch companies. Unfortunately.
They are not paid 6 figures to add fields to JSONs. They are paid 6 figures to brainrot into obsolescence instead of going out there and creating a competing product.

From the thread:

How about localizing it into all languages supported by a major OS or browser?

Yes, and exactly ZERO amount of money have exchanged hands in this scenario. Learning is dope, the more the better.

The difference is, someone makes money off it, and not the persons(s) that wrote the code. This is not a valid argument
You can keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. I am gleeful to respond to your nonsense and call it out for the lie that it is.
You joined a union workforce as a temporary employee and were shocked to find that you didn't benefit? Who do you think the union is there to benefit? It is there to protect the people working there for their living wage, and one of the biggest threats to that is replacing them with younger workers more willing to be exploited. A good union is acting in their interests, not yours, so it sounds like it was working as intended! If you had stayed there and worked full time, you would have been in a position to benefit from their negotiations around hours, benefits, and wages.
OpenResearch's recent UBI example didn't appear to be a resounding success. While people receiving the higher income appeared to have more interest in starting a business or continuing education, it didn't actually significantly translate to those getting accomplished.
See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism#Definition

to note that "Capitalism" is really a technical term from Marxist theory. Advocates of capitalism will never find a definition they accept because they want to have one that encompasses all the good (of which there is plenty) and rejects the bad (of which there is also plenty)

Positing such as thing as "Capitalism" is positing that there could be some other system or that the current system could have an end. Advocates of the status quo really believe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_is_no_alternative

If there is a way our system can claim to be better than others it is because we have competition in markets, politically, etc.
As you say, whatever the real cost is, it's much higher than one that supposes every company could reproduce F/OSS. How amazing then, that even in this hypothetical universe where everyone could, we still wouldn't want to due to the enormous cost.

Providing a lower bound on value, and furthermore one that is astronomically high, is extremely useful as an eye-opener. This is a useful result for policy-makers.
What is he accused of? I can't find any sources that say any more than that, he was arrested, and that the warrant was issued by a team investigating larger issues.
I'm not clear that that is in the same vein as what the parent post meant?

That said, this is an interesting suggestion to follow my post. It literally only works if you have access to clean, probably distilled, water supply. If you don't, you are also introducing a path for some serious problems into your sinuses in the form of parasites.

Yeah, me. Even without other applications running in the background and without any models loaded, the new 0.3 UI is stuttering and running like a couch-locked crusty after too many edibles on my Macbook Air 2021, 16GB. When I finally get even a 4B model loaded, inference is glacially slow. The previous versions worked just fine (they're still available for download).
The sidebar being modal and blocking clicks to dismiss it is weird.

Why is the most important text "don't know what to do?" part of the sidebar, and not the main view?

The first button I see (even though it's secondary) is Add Chrome extension. That's the wrong impression.

The next buttons are about me uploading things, which assumes I have already prepared myself for using your demo. Hurdles, obstacles. What kind of images/videos are you looking for? Why isn't there a gallery of pre-made images to give me an idea of what you're trying to make me do?

The sidebar doesn't help me decide what to do next. No button says "start here" (I still don't know what your site does.)

The guided interactive demo doesn't seem very interactive, and I still don't know what your site does. It does ask me to add a Chrome extension. Seems important to you.

If I'm vaguely interested in a site, of course I'll create meaningless demos. I just want to drag-n-drop things to see if this is something I should invest more time in or not. Uploading private images of unknown content is a huge hurdle.

Clicking on examples, and taking the first one... I think I understand you're making mobile mockups? Now I'm just thinking "oh, that looks complicated: if I can't even start with some gallery picture to play around with, I'm guessing the interactive parts will be really difficult to do myself." You haven't explained/shown that this complicated thing is actually easy with your tool. There ends my journey.

And, yes, stop the audio. Both the interactive guide/video and the Clippy.
That 5+ year grocery store stocker is the lynchpin that allows them to quickly hire teenagers who are only going to work there for a year at most before moving on. Without the institutional knowledge of the long-term workers, the store would have to spend much longer training new employees, or employ a magnitude more supervisors.

Note that only US-companies are required by (US, I guess) law to join these programs.

Also note this part:

So in the end Telegram removed the content.

I think it would be better if Telegram used the hash lists, however I think that they should use manual review and not remove content automatically, because this is an US platform that theoretically can be misused to remove legal content that US govt doesn't like.

What is your profession/hobby if I may ask? Just curious.
In my area at least, even garden spikes on Amazon generally cost at least $14.99, while I can get them at my dollar store for $3.99. I think prices on Amazon are pretty absurd for "counterfeit"-grade stuff. But they apparently expect you aren't going to do any price comparison, because that would require getting up and going to the dollar store to see if they have garden spikes.

Here is the one core aspect about open source. There are people who really want to open source code without expectations of money at all. Immaterial if users are corporate or not.

The context sidebar is great! Maybe the first good "AI search engine" UX I've seen (most attempts copy Google look/feel which is more suited for web page results).

Sexual assault and rape is terrible, no matter who the perpetrator or victim is. On this, I assume we agree.

The issue here is policy changes that remove one of the most important safeguarding measures to prevent this in the prison system: segregation by sex, so that all male inmates have no physical access to any female inmates.
I mean this is also how American bail generally works. Durov doesn't have a lot of permanent residency-style connection to France, and also has a lot of money though, so has the motive and means to flee.
So true. The hustle culture is an spreading disease that has replaced the fun maker culture from the 80s/90s.

It's unavoidable though. Cost of living being increasingly expensive and romantization of entrepreneurs like they are rock stars leads towards this hustle mindset.
Not yet, but very soon. My previous work was done for employers and involves code that is not free to distribute.

I am currently working on some blog articles to cover a web application written in model checked C. Once that is done, and once my personal C parser library is complete, I'll write a series of articles on constructive and equivalence proofs of software written in C.

A bucket list item for me is to write a series of books on this, focusing less on the academic aspects and more on the practical aspects. There are plenty of excellent text books on this, but few "how to I write real world code that is model checked / constructively proven?" Unfortunately, this has led to a lot of odd opinions being passed around as fact, like that it takes 30 man years to write constructively proven code, or that model checking is impractical.
All commercial fishing vessels operating offshore, and all larger boats (private or commercial) are required to carry them by law.
I bet this falls into a gray area though. Maybe they’re not exactly trying to kill Firefox, they just don’t mind too much if it dies. Some programmer makes a mistake that affects Firefox and they don’t instantly revert the change because someone higher sees that the mistake is not necessarily bad for Google. Similarly testing is more lax for Firefox. If it had been Chrome, the managers would have paged 50 people to fix it ASAP, and there would be retrospectives about how their testing failed to prevent a future occurrence.

It’s like saying evolution has no purpose, it’s just random mutations, but then there is a selection process that picks non harmful and beneficial mutations, so it does go in a predictable direction.
It definitely helps to understand it when you are trying to explain to the ISP that it’s their problem. Knowing what you’re talking about will get your issue resolved much more quickly.
Show HN: Warehouse OpenAI requests to your own database
Today we’re launching Velvet, an AI gateway for warehousing OpenAI and Anthropic requests to your PostgreSQL instance.

We originally built an AI SQL editor, but realized that customers were using it to monitor their AI requests in production. We had already built an AI request warehousing tool internally to debug our SQL editor and gave some customers access.

A few days into testing this idea, our pilot customer launched [1] and we began warehousing 1,500 requests per second. We worked closely with their engineering team in the following weeks, completely re-architecting Velvet for scale and additional features (such as Batch support). Along the way, other companies began seeking out Velvet to get visibility into their own LLM requests.

We’re launching our AI gateway as a self-serve product today, but our pilot customers are already warehousing over 3 million requests per week - so the system is stable and performant.

What makes Velvet unique is that you own the data in your own database. Also, we’re the first proxy that gives visibility into OpenAI batch calls - so you can observe and monitor async calls that save you money.

Some technical notes:

- Supports OpenAI and Anthropic endpoints

- Data is formatted as JSON and logged to your own PostgreSQL instance (can add support for other databases for paying customers).

- You can include queryable metadata in the header, such as user ID, org ID, model ID, and version ID.

- Built on Cloudflare workers, which keeps latency minimal (using our caching feature will reduce latency overall)

- Built for security + starting process of SOC II soon

Why warehouse your requests?

- Understand where money is spent. Use custom headers to calculate the cost per customer, model, or service.

- Download real request/response data, so you can evaluate new models (e.g., re-running requests with a cheaper mini model)

- Monitor time to completion of batch jobs. (e.g., OpenAI says 24 hours, but our customers average 3-4 hours)

- Export a subset of example requests for fine-tuning

It’s just a 2 line code change to get started.

The only definition the government should be involved in censoring would be one that is illegal and in that case they can get their lawyers and proceed with an indictment. Anything else is just propaganda.
The OSI model hasn't been accurate representation of ip networking since pretty much day 1. It was made specifically for a different protocol, but in the stack we use today some layers are better split up in 2, some protocols exists in multiple layers. It's a nice metaphor but I think it's time to drop it!

I think the factors listed in the article will result in less commercial OSS contributions. Also as investment dries up, software folks will have more free time to do hobby development.

Reduced commercial interest may also allow new GPL projects (a.k.a Free Software) rather than the recent trend toward "commercializable" open source.
I was talking about GPUI. In comparison Iced is way more mature.
Everybody whose rights were infringed. The GPL often technically makes that "everybody else" by granting what were otherwise exclusive rights (to make and distribute copies) to everybody and then taking them away from infringers.

So e.g. Company X makes a GPL'd program to do A, but Company Y just copy pastes it into famous product P and acts as though they made it and obviously doesn't give out source. As a random person who doesn't even own P, the argument would be that technically the GPL says you should be able to get source code for the program from Y, even though you didn't buy their product P - you were harmed by their refusal to do what the GPL requires, so you can sue them.

Now, suing is probably not a good idea in this case, a court is likely to either insist you aren't really injured or that they can't help you, or both, but I think it could work at least in theory.
> Do you have a confirmation for that or this is just your guess

The allegations are public, and that's what the allegations state. I can't and don't want to speculate on the "true" motives of the French authorities. Al Capone was also initially held only on taxes charges.

> The investigation concerns crimes related to illicit transactions, child sexual abuse, fraud and the refusal to communicate information to authorities. The arrest warrant was issued by OFMIN, a French child protection agency, the group’s secretary general said in a post on LinkedIn.

And some investigative journalism on the type of illegal activities going on in Telegram.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1828526705306411410.html

I am all for privacy of communication, but due to Telegram's insistence of not encrypting everything, this is easy to see/verify by authorities, and issue a takedown notice.

> Maybe they want access to all Telegram messages.

And maybe not. Do you have proof that they want that, or we are going to be speculating here? Cause, as I said, the arrest warrant is public and the allegations are public. I'd prefer not to speculate and focus on the facts.

P.S

If we are going to speculate here, my feeling is that the French authorities found that Telegram is a Russian held backdoor/honeypot or want to disrupt Russian war communications. They need some time to with Durov in custody, so they arrest him on charges they can arrest him on: failing to remove illegal content all the while letting Meta, X, and Rumble and others get away with the same.
Also some of the best parts of Last Saints Row were the Boss presented LARP weapons and running around a LARP with them. (More than one LARP, even, with the DLC, clearly the developers had fun with it.) None of the GTA-style shooter mechanics were actually changed but a "wink-nudge" was added that the LARP players were very good at death acting. Also you could carry the LARP weapons the rest of the game and get silly nerf dart sound and visual effects everywhere else, which was silly fun in its own way.

ETA: Also not directly a LARP but a similar premise is the pair of Costume Quest games of kids running around doing Action RPG things to save the town in Halloween costumes playing well with that boundary space of what is real for them and what is heightened fantasy.
> Anyone can, that’s orthogonal.

That's exactly what happens here. In this case anyone happens to be an LLM.
>wage for a job is too low to afford life

This also simplifies the scenario to assume that wages are the only income. It would be like building a mental model around people who live at home with their parents and concluding whatever money they make is obviously sufficient to 'afford life'. It ignores all the extraneous ways their life is being subsidized by others. Whether or not those external subsidies are desirable or sustainable are intrinsically related to this problem.
You're the one who was talking about loans!

In response to "If one uses an asset as collateral for a loan" you wrote "So small business can't take out loans unless they can realize and be taxed on the full valuation of their company".
I also thought this, but refer back to the paper, not the abstract:

> A is the set of key presses and mouse movements…

> …to condition on actions, we simply learn an embedding A_emb for each action

So, it’s clear that in this model the diffusion process is conditioned by embedding A that is derived from user actions rather than words.

Then a noised start frame is encoded into latents and concatenated on to the noise latents as a second conditioning.

So we have a diffusion model which is trained solely on images of doom, and which is conditioned on current doom frames and user actions to produce subsequent frames.

So yes, the users are playing it.

However, it should be unsurprising that this is possible. This is effectively just a neural recording of the game. But it’s a cool tech demo.
It was not a formal argument that could be easily dismissed due to a logical fallacy, it is a critique of communication and trust. There is no logical fallacy in the OP's comment. Do you trust the Government with your life? If you do, great, but do not silence ("cancel") people who ask fair questions (i.e. have critical thinking).
> I probably have ADHD.

Very familiar with ADHD and anxiety which is extremely disruptive. I sometimes think its more of a autistic spectrum thing as there is a vivid world of thought in my head I retreat into and the real world. The anxiety part is where the self sabotage comes from as you get bad thoughts stuck in your head which puts fear into you and causes a feed-back loop of doom that leads to depression. That or you invent all sorts of "bad" fantasy outcomes or scenarios that become excuses to avoid anxiety causing things without ever attempting anything. That leads to depression.

I think the right answer is therapy and likely medication. I am currently looking for therapy but navigating the US medical system and insurance bullshit is triggering on every level causing anxiety, depression, and rage. I suppose I'll have to sacrifice my savings and pay out of pocket.

Good luck, stay strong, and remember - you can overcome it. It takes effort which for us is very very difficult.
Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of a gallery of pre-made images to start off with, in particular.
