We have been discussing a similar idea with friends.

The topic of knowledge synthesis is fascinating, especially in big organisations.

Moving away from fragmented documents into a set of facts from which LLM synthetize documents from, tailored for the reader.

There are few tricks that would be interesting to have working.

For instance the agent keep evaluating itself against a set of questions. Or user adding questions to see if the agent is able to understand the nuances of the topic and so if it can be trusted.

(Not dissimilar to what would be regression testing in classical software engineering)

Then the "homework" sections, when we ask human experts to evaluate that the facts stored by the agents are still relevant and up to date.

All these can then be enhanced with actions usable by the agent.

Think about fetching the PoC for a particular piece of software. It is the employer Foo.

If we write this down in a document, it will definitely get outdated when Foo move, or get promoted.

If we put this inside a knowledge synthesis system, the system itself may keep asking every 6 months to Foo if it is still the PoC for the software project.

Or it could daily talk with the LDPA system and ask the same question as soon as it notices that Foo has changed its position or reporting structure.

This can be expanded for processes to follow. Report to create, etc...
It's been on the browser level for ages. It's the DoNotTrack http header. The websites simply ignore it and hope the users will simply keep pressing the consent button.
Pressing and holding the Files icon on the iOS home screen allows you to directly access the scanning feature.

Pretty handy! I didn’t know this feature existed, and the scanner app I had been using stopped working a couple months ago and I haven’t been able to find a replacement that I was happy with.
On top of that, the US outsourced of a very very ecologically damaging part of industry. The remains of Silicon Valley, literally named after the hotbed of what was manufactured there, are the largest concentration of Superfund sites in the US.
1. you don't need consent for functionality strictly required for the functionality of your product. Such as session management

2. You are allowed to legitimately process PII for legitimate purposes related to your business: e.g. combating fraud

3. What you emphatically aren't allowed without consent: collect vast amounts of data, store it indefinitely, and sell it to 15 000 third party "partners"

Doesn't getaddrinfo respect /etc/resolv.conf? So LittleSnitch should install itself there if it wants to be used by getaddrinfo.

Besides, apps can always make direct lookups to a resolver of their choice, bypassing any resolver hints of the operating system.
There's probably not that much overlap between people who are good at writing communications middleware and people good at each of those research problems; there's not even that much overlap between people good at each of those research problems.
> Why did we ever think it would end up differently?

Because it has worked, countless times. Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc were all small software companies once, the current hotness is NVIDIA (ok hardware, not software). Obviously it doesn't happen often, or to a high percentage of startups, but hey, he wasn't lying to you, you took the job knowing the deal.
1. When you submit things to HN it's better to submit the link as a link, instead of text. That way the link is actually clickable.

2. Your "Redo" button/functionality is usually called "Undo".

3. With only lines available, the usefulness of this seems pretty limited. It needs arcs and circles and boxes.

4. The lack of visual feedback as to how the line you're currently drawing -while you drag the mouse- is going to look, makes it hard to draw things with precision.

5. For the type of thing this is, it would probably be more useful to have a snap grid. It is more restrictive but allows better precision.

6. When you don't drag but just click, nothing is visibly added to the drawing, but it still generates a pair of ctx.moveTo(359, 259); ctx.lineTo(359, 259); each time. Someone trying it for the first time is bound to click a few times before understanding they should click-and-drag.

7. There's no indication or explanation at all about what the "Save" button actually does or its purpose.

7.b. I know it saves to localStorage but then again, since there's no way to explicitly recover a saved drawing from localStorage the feature seems mostly useless. If you "reset", localStorage is cleared. If you leave the page without saving just before going away, it is also cleared. The only way it seems useful is if you a. explicitly save b. immediately close browser tab/window without drawing more c. reopen it. But then again, having no explanation at all about what it does or how it works, there's little chance of discovering this casually.

8. There's really no need for a "Generate" button. You could just generate the code every time a line is added, and colour or width changed.

9. When the "Set" button is clicked, you should first check that width and height are filled to avoid resizing to 0x0

10. Instead of having to copy only the array and then opening the page and pasting the array in a different box, you could probably make it better by copying a complete URL that includes the drawing in it. It's easier to share a single link than saying "hey, click this link and then go to this box and paste these numbers".
These servers are indeed job processing servers. They are critical but not milliseconds critical. Cooling, security, monitoring, backup generators, and backup of data all are taken care of.
IIRC most of the BSD compat was moved to kernel space for performance reasons (either just on macOS, or the version of Mach they built on top of)
Curious as to your reasoning here, why would a Hezbollah operative give their pager away within a month or 2 of it being issued?

And this is war, you are applying impossible peacetime standards. To put things in perspective, a rocket attack from Hezbollah killed a dozen Israeli kids/teens on a football field in July, with zero Israeli military targets impacted.
I guess my question is how much a custom bridge is needed with the C++ integration. (I understand the bridge will always be better in some sense, but I’m also interested in what it would be like to just ignore it and target the C++ API directly.
The CEO owns 49% of the voting power so the board is pretty much toothless. Facing a direct conflict with her, loudly resigning is probably about the best they could do.
What on earth would be more targeted than compromising pagers that only Hezbollah military is using?

At some point the criticism really gets absurd. There probably was collateral damage, yes. This is what you have to account for if you start wars against another nation. Repeatedly.

Opposite of targeted are the missiles that hit northern Israel.

Additionally, iPhones were never assembled in America. Enough manufacturing had been offshored to the PRC it just wasn’t even a consideration of any sort until late last decade, and the response from Apple has been to reshore some assembly elsewhere, not bring it into the States.
The issue is also that the cookie banner has become a meme for non technical "deciders". That means even sites that do not track you will have the banner.
The author also makes it sound like something has been taken away from them - one can rip it out if they really want to. It's just that most of us have our focuses elsewhere and have no need to tinker with systemd.
I remember my mum having a Tupperware party in the early seventies. She had all her friends round for a social gathering and to buy plastic containers. It sounds bizarre now.

Wow, the FDA is worse than useless. So much regulatory red tape. These guys had every single reasonable safeguard in place and the FDA kept putting requirement on top of requirement until literally no one would qualify for the study.

20-30 years later and humanity has had precisely zero benefit because of the FDA's simply absurd, technically impossible level of overcaution in this scenario.

It is incredible how much medical innovation is being held back because of these sort of politics. I hope the people that constantly cheer on more regulation or the FDA itself take a look at cases like this and hundreds of other similar cases where companies have simply given up on safe, promising approaches due to the regulatory red tape.
Yep. Dynamic Podcasts are a great feature, especially to findout the latest on a topic of interest.

I use it every day. When I searched for Diddy, there were hardly any podcasts about his situation when it happened within the hour, but there was tons of news, and so I had a dynamic podcast waiting to listen.

Things happen quickly today, video and podcasts, in many cases, can't keep up because of long production and editing times.

Dynamic podcasts changes that because it gathers the latest written news, which is quicker to produce and publish - then creates a podcast from that.

Can't wait until the upgrade is available, which will give more dynamic interactions and dialogue - delivering the podcasts, as more of a conversation as well.
In Switzerland, almost no bank wants to deal with you if you have US citizenship. Its easier to just avoid creating whole new department for that reporting, risk getting sanctions if you make a mistake etc.

US in this case is a global bully, based on some talks with people involved in such processes also arrogant, very aggressive in enforcement, at the end punishing its own citizens just because they can.

Their choice, but if I or my kids would ever be in the situation of potentially gaining citizenship or green card (that probably won't ever happen, life here is much higher quality overall for people like me), this alone is good enough reason to not do it.
So, suppose I run websites. Actually I do and I have cookie banners on all of them - but only for users with EU IP Addresses.

Here's the twist: Good news is (for me), I can[1] track and do whatever I want with any other IP address. You visit my site? Well, thanks to nobody else I care about having GDPR-like regulations in place, I can make sure I'll not only track you down and display ads across all advertiser networks, feed them your visit in all imaginable and unimaginable ways, but I can do it in such a targeted way that it's borderline scary. I can literally use any information you gave me on my websites, like your name, your location, proximity to anything. And if I can't then the advertiser can. And in the case of that particular lawsuit mentioned in the article, collecting all user consents, their IP addresses, and basically which websites they visited, its like a gold mine for advertisiers. If it isn't one yet, it can be turned into one with the click of a button.

It's like that one case a few years back, where a health insurance company bought a bank and started closing bank accounts from people they knew were risk patients.

Simply connect the dots...

GDPRs promise was to make it harder to do so. It wasn't the plan to annoy the hell out of everyone with banners. The whole idea was to not allow tracking unless you opted in, because quite frankly, its scary.

And no, I'm not a fan of GDPR or overregulation. But in reality, there hasn't been any tech I've come across that really protects the non-technical internet users at large. There's uBlock and plugins, but not installed by default or built into standard mobile browsers. Apple might be close for regular consumers to stop the excessive tracking and companies like FB really hates them for it (for good reason, it costs them big $$). Google will never shoot their own foot by integrating non-tracking tech into any of their products.

So, no, my opinion is don't stop that darn annoying cookie pop-ups unless you also stop the tracking. If you stop the tracking, remove the cookie pop-up. As easy as that.

> Everyone seems to be celebrating this as a victory for the US, but I can’t help but think of David Ricardo’s Law of Comparative advantage

This theory has always been an overly simplistic model designed to promote the ideology of free trade.
The most obvious problem with it is that it only works in a static world where everything stays the same and as such specializing makes sense. But the world isn't like that, and if everybody invests only in the places where they have a comparative advantage, then you have set up a trade network that is very vulnerable to asymmetric shock: if one good becomes irrelevant or too desired, then the system starts failing.

Germans are learning it the hard way now that ICE cars are getting out of fashion.

As always, there's a yield/resilience trade off, and at nation scale, favoring yield is a recipe for disaster.
There is a huge overlap between the "I want tax dollars to fund my religious ideology" and the people who say "lgbt kids should be punished", "sex education must be banned", "teenagers [girls] who have sex should be shamed", "child marriage is acceptable", etc.

All of those policies are inherently pro-child abuse.

Those are the same groups that also say "my religious freedom requires that I be allowed to require other people to follow my religion.

The only reason conservatives want publicly funded private schools is because they want to claim that the schools are (1) not public so don't have to obey the first amendment and (2) then reduce funding to actual public schools because they "can't afford it".

Anyone who claims otherwise is at best stupid.

This is the explicit intent of these policies.
The request from management to engineering was "make us gdpr compatible, show that cookie banner we see on other sites or some shit", implementation details were designed by IT.
I do and the latest war completely reaffirmed my perspective. The little spot that allegedly tries to genocide everyone around them while their enemies have that as the stated goals in their respective charters. It is the reason for the existence of Hezbollah even. Why not believe them?

The positions aren't equal, in fact they are worlds apart and Israel treats enemy civilians better than the terror regimes they do live under despite facing constant wars of aggression by said nations.

As I heard from a few people who went straight after qualification was that they're very open to new recruits non experience and to have their name on the CV was basically the best way to move forward with their career opportunities. They have to stay for a year or two and during that time they also get some accounting qualifications (in my friends case) which can be carried on.
Before I post something on HN I always do a search to see if it has been posted recently. If it's more than 2-3 years old, I post it again in order for new users (and others who forget it) to notice it.

There have been other similar suggestions i.e. when filling the information for a new submission to have an automatic duplicate search and produce a warning, but I've come to understand that adding features to the simple/lean HN page is not desired. Same goes for native dark mode (with having to load scripts/plugins/whatever).

I can understand Feature Creep (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_creep) fears, but it seems that here we're doing the exact opposite :-)
Ah, thanks for the link! So it has an interesting point, which is socket/device activation. And services that aren't started immediately could also have dependencies you don't want to start immediately.

I can see that being important for a desktop, where you're plugging/unplugging stuff and want startup to be fast.

I think you're putting words in my mouth.
I was a big fan of Grammarly, as dyslexic, so often write the wrong word then ten minutes later when re-reading spot i used the wrong word/spelling etc.

It worked extremely well, as you say I think by using basic rules engines.

I’ve canceled my subscription recently as found it getting worse, not better, I suspect because they are now applying LLMs.

The suggestions started to make less sense and the problem with LLM suggestions is all your writing takes the tone of the LLM, you loose your personality/style in what you write.

The basic rules approach worked much better for me.
I find this with a lot of assistive fonts, that they have claims but no research that says "Yes, this makes a dramatic difference". For example, the OpenDyslexic font I've never seen any research that it make any more difference yet I see people act like it's an answer. Big text is easier to read.

1. Because the implementation is simply left open?

2. Because it's nearly impossible to verify?

The point of o1 is that it's good at reasoning because it's not purely operating in the "giving a snap answer on the fly" mode, unlike the previous models released by OpenAI.

These are part of a new generation of DDR5 modules that add a clock driver to the module itself, rather than relying entirely on the clock signal coming all the way from the CPU's memory controller. That is expected to significantly change the game for DDR5 overclocking, and expectations based on the limitations of configurations lacking the clock drivers may not be accurate. I expect we'll see 6+ months of firmware tuning before we have a clear picture of what each platform is ultimately capable of, but early on the focus will be on Intel platforms.

I don't think that's true. I see Europe and US and much of the rest of the world giving weapons and financial support to Ukraine. I don't see any other country giving weapons and financial support to Russia besides China, North Korea, Iran, and India who is buying more of Russian oil.
Not only that, the US now also has some backup when China will invade Taiwan and take over TSMC.

> France is probably #2

I don't know what it's like for Americans living abroad but indeed, as a French citizen living abroad I do believe that France spends enough resources to justify taxing me (with guarantees against double taxation, and the various complications and edge cases it implies).

As far as I know, American citizens can't really vote abroad (they have to be registered to a place inside the US and vote by correspondence, I think?) while we have voting booths in most countries where France has a consulate[0].

Since there are many French citizens where I live, there were 14 booths across this country for the last elections so you're probably never more than 50 kilometers from one (in addition to being able to vote through Internet). There were 23 of them in the US, 33 in Canada (20 of them in Montreal apparently), etc.

That's a whole lot of effort for people who are voting for things that will not affect them directly and who don't pay taxes (even a token tax) for France, and it's great, and I think it's normal to devote efforts for all citizens wherever they are, but it means I couldn't honestly complain about reasonable taxation.

By the way Recoll also has a utility named rclgrep which is an index-less search. It does everything that Recoll can do which can reasonably done without an index (e.g.: no proximity search, no stem expansion etc.). It will search all file types supported by Recoll, including embedded documents (email attachments, archive members, etc.). It is not built or distributed by default, because I think that building an index is a better approach, but it's in the source tar distribution and can be built with -Drclgrep=true. Disclosure: I am the Recoll developper.
Yup, but it will be very hard to see/prove this from the outside.

Unlike cookies.
>e.g. W680D4U-2L2T which can be had on Amazon for $569

Yeah, that cost puts it out of reach for the typical home users building relatively inexpensive little DIY media server boxes, and places it firmly in "server" territory. A standard motherboard for these CPUs (typically using a B760 chipset) is a very small fraction of that cost.

It's good to know this factoid, but it still basically supports my prior assertion that on Intel, ECC support is basically only for servers.

The vast majority of websites just want to know where their visitors are coming from and, if they are selling a product, some aggregate level of demographic knowledge to tailor their marketing efforts. They really don’t care about an individual or even small cohort and aren’t selling the data on.

Targeting advertising is sooo much more effective for small and medium sized businesses and actually makes many businesses viable in a way they weren’t in the past.

The ideal solution would be to find a way for businesses to get those insights in a way that preserves privacy at the individual level. Something like apples differential privacy system but web wide.
That would completely be fraud, but seems pretty far fetched.

They have been (miss)managing the company about the same for 18 years, so it would have to be one of the most epic cons of all time.

On the other hand, partial owners and management take companies private all the time. It is an extremely common occurrence. It and PE buyout are probably the two most common ways.
