Interesting to see how would this play out in case of a lawsuit against an user who doesn't honor their license because it clashes with GH one.
Anyway, that code has already been swallowed by some AI that will reorganize it, split in functional blocks and regurgitate it elsewhere someday, so too late for them to complain.
If your job is copy pasting stack overflow responses sure. If you work on something specific, need to talk to client, need to brainstorm ideas, it's still very meh at best.

chatgpt has been here for what ? 24 months ? Unemployment rate is the same as ever, maybe a bit on the lower side if anything. If it was the miracle they promised we would see it everywhere: gdp, unemployment rate, productivity, &c.
I would hate that so very much for a number of reasons, starting with that it will increase overall dehumanization of everything.
At some point it will be considered professional negligence to use LLMs in any professional setting and I hope that day is soon.
If an individual creates a RAG over a significant period of time, that contains many of their own voice notes, videos, audio recordings, photos, texts and writing, etc, then this could become the basis for a sort of facsimile of their personality. But also this archive could be used to generate creative work 'inspired' by its contents, for example their biography.
I'm wondering something: how is the storage/compactation solved? AFAIK S3 lacks append semantics, so data must be accumulated somewhere else before storing it. Kinesis?
Honest question: did the crypto hype cycles “lay the foundation for something bigger”?

I suppose there is an argument to be made that it pushed Nvidia to ramp up GPU production and lean into the compute market rather than gaming. Maybe gave the world some extra experience with hosting large GPU farms that are needed for AI training.

I don’t think I’m sold on either of those, but would be curious to see others discussion.
Interestingly the first line says, even distributing a modified version in source form is not allowed... so a GitHub fork with a tiny modification already violates this line.
It seems to me that the Onion had a schism and split into the Babylon Bee and this new, very political version. I ended up unfollowing them on Instagram when it was (in my opinion) just thinly-veiled hate-based politics.

Did anyone experience something similar in the last year or so, or am I the one changing?
Will admit there was an oversimplification on my part but it was (poorly) calculated considering how many non-Americans frequent the board. I'm American and aware that Native American tribes and nations remained (and still remain) distinct cultural and political entities. The degree of unity varied greatly depending on the time period and region.

I just don't believe this negates that there was a gradual movement towards greater unity among Native American tribes and nations, especially in response to external threats. This process occurred over centuries and varied by region.
You don't need to fork a repo to create a branch.
Yes I have this problem. I would assume it's a problem with all USB ports and it's just phones get charged and moved around more than other devices. Last phone the port was like that but I think USB C is more stable?

I went for the cheap entry level Samsung and it seems pretty much identical to the top line older phone I had but unfortunately doesn't have wireless charging as a backup!

I think cheap leads are a problem, because it can be difficult to buy a genuine charger now, there are so many "fakes". My last lead that I bought from a UK physical store melted while plugged into the car charger port recently, which was a bit of a surprise.

I used to use my phone at the beach quite a lot and found that getting sand in the port would often cause it to stop working. Now I always put it in a waterproof case if I take it there to avoid that.
for those (rightfully) complaining about the experience of making dot-deb packaging .. yes all true and needs to improve YET the Apple iPhone app developer experience has been tremendously painful and rude for a decade also.. somehow given $INCENTIVES the app devs for iPhone just consider it table stakes?
This has been a huge frustration with AI investments as I’m invest in industry and “AI ETFs” just invest in anything with AI on the website. Investors have absolutely no idea how AI works or what it will disrupt, and I genuinely think 99% of all investor sentiment towards AI is non-sense
Software projects are often of the type that are never finished (though there are counterexamples). You can finish milestones, but the content of milestones is rubbery. You can often just declare them done by shuffling planned content into the next milestone.

A software project is not finished before reaching its minimal viable functionality and first release. After that, all further changes are just small projects on top of that project. A big enough project can become its ow source of procrastination: you can avoid working on something difficult, in that project, by working on something easy instead, in that same project. You're still working on the project, so all is good!
The app uses the (i)phone OS’s cloud storage APIs to write to the backup folder, meta’s servers don’t have access to any credentials.
For Android I currently can’t check, but it’s obvious from their FAQs that they have the app upload to Google‘s servers even if they don’t use the OS APIs there: https://faq.whatsapp.com/481135090640375/?cms_platform=andro...

They have indirect control over the user’s backup folder via the app, but meta would need to distribute a malicious update to everyone that causes the user’s apps to download the backup and send it to meta, at which point they could just skip trying to access the backup and directly upload the chats from the app.

It’s impressive how much misinfo you’re spreading.

Edit: Meta’s actions over the years clearly show that they don’t want to know the contents of your messages. Not knowing their contents means, for example, that they don’t have to run scanners to detect illegal content (but users can report messages).
They benefit from making WhatsApp a secure platform, as it allows them to collect everyone’s metadata, which apparently has lots of value to them.
The Memories app is a LOT faster than the built in Photos app. I use it myself and it's quite nice, very doable on my down clocked old Intel CPU.

We run one of the largest print farms in North America. Reflecting parent's sentiment, BambuLabs' P1/X1 series are capable of substantially finer layer height and consistency (0.08mm), with SLA-quality results. We dumped all of our FormLabs because of it.

We don't sand any PLA, anymore. If we need to control the surface texture, it's largely a function of the qualities of the filament and print speed.

That's still an order of magnitude more than what you can get with rented servers. I pay between 0.2 and 0.4 per TB doing nearly 2000TB a month.
The fact that Apple's app store is the ONLY place for third party software means that the issue of app store listing policies and the inability to load unapproved software are deeply linked, and effectively the same issue.

If Apple allowed me to load software from third parties directly, like I do on my computer, I wouldn't care what the App store policies were, much like I don't care what the MacOS app store policies are.
Remember why containers were invented, though. A PaaS provider wanted customers to be able to run any app without a lot of hassle. So they made a way for the customer to essentially ship their computer to the PaaS, so the apps could run on computers that were never set up to run those apps.

In that situation, where any customer could have any kind of environment, it's much less effort for both the provider and the customer to just duplicate an environment, rather than spend time trying to make portable or compatible environments. And it's more accurate. As you say, a lot of people can't or won't write portable software. Many devs use Macs, and then ship their apps to Linux... more than a few inconsistencies, to say nothing of packages, versions, system files. So if we want to do more work, faster, more reliably, with people who don't write portable code, on incompatible systems, containers are the best possible option.

And it's great for frontend / GUI apps. I use Alpine Linux for a desktop, because I'm a moron. But that means there's many GUI apps that just won't run on my system, for many reasons. Docker and Flatpak allow me to run those GUI apps, like 1Password and FreeCAD, on my wacky non-portable system. It's a boon for me, the user, and for the developers/vendors. (Alternatives like 'AppImage' don't work on musl systems)

The GitHub ToS is not a software license. It is the terms for using the GitHub service. The penalty for breaking it is that your GitHub services might be terminated, not that they can somehow relicense your software.
Thank you! I really appreciate the video of you going through it.
imagine a roller coaster on the moon...
Your comment was great! I'm not trying to correct you so much as adding additional context.
Well, that contradicts TFA, which states that

> Back to the "Passkeys Information.csv" file. It has two rows for the two passkeys (I don't know why there are two rather than one) and eleven columns. The columns are Created Date and Last Used Date, as I've already noted, as well as Credential ID, Device IP Address, Device Name, Device Serial Number, Device UDID, Domain, Hardware Model, Key ID, and Public Key.

That looks a lot like (at least some) metadata to me.

Also, the reference you're linking to seems to be talking about device-side data/encryption. It doesn't seem to say anything about what's stored server-side, and using which encryption keys.
The text is not for the reviewer, it's for the user of the app.

Imagine the ridiculous level of explanatory humdrum apps would need to conjure if they were to explain themselves to uninterested people pressed for time like that reviewer you described?
Now I need to finish getting more beers.
As an ADD person, one of my mantras is: If I actually finished my projects, I'd never get anything done.

I have a kind of FOMO when it comes to knowledge. If I run across a topic that could conceivably be useful to me or my family in some way, I HAVE to gain at least an entry-level understanding of it. And since the best way to learn is by doing, I basically start projects all the time. The feeling of going from zero knowledge in a certain area to much more than the average Joe in a short amount of time is exhilarating. But of course the learning curve flattens out and linear gains require exponential work. That's when I know my curiosity is satisfied and I have enough background now that I can always come back later for a deeper dive if I want or need to.

This is not to say I never finish ANY projects. But I need to be very selective about those because life is busy, I don't always take pleasure in the journey, and they always end up taking 10x more time than my most conservative estimates.

Maintaining a server can be a pita, and not upgrading frequently is both a security risk as well as problematic from a stability pov.

My recommendation would be to use our All-in-One docker image. It takes care of updates and is supremely easy to use, plus likely to bring nice performance benefits as it has all this stuff that makes it fast like the HPB for Files.
> Everyone outside of tech that Ive talked to uses it.

Uses != pays. I personally know only one person who pays for it, and dozen who use it for free
Not sure...

Someone smarter than me can answer that.
Great policy! Makes sense as a monetization strategy
> Moreover, what if I don't want Google or Apple to know about my {Islamic LGBT app, Chinese Democracy app, etc.} ?

I admit that I don't know about Apple's ecosystem, but if you don't want Google to know about your Islamic LGBT app, you don't have to tell them. Android users can download your app off your personally-owned .com and install it to their phone no problem.
You mean you have to stack the chips first to test them, in which case the whole stack would have to be discarded?

You can test it by comparing human translations with LLM translations. The results are pretty close. Like I said in another comment, the common failure mode with mandarin is around names and genders
My read was it enables both: PyPI can delete all packages that haven't been downloaded in a year or more, safe in the knowledge that they can be quickly recreated and cached, but also that more packages can be downloaded as source, and compiled at target.
Many of the local librarians are trans. Telling a child they may be something they’re not is an incredibly confusing message.

My kids often say they’re animals. They’re not. They’re kids, so they play pretend.

I personally know parents telling their kids that they are the wrong gender. The kids are 3-6. It’s child abuse.
Imagine not having anywhere to express the truth.

They're planning to build this telescope on the Moon, by mining Moon rocks.

In space, there are no rocks to mine, so you're have to launch all the material to space, which is wildly impractical/expensive.
The whole time I was reading this I couldn’t stop thinking about optional vs static typechecking and how I really try to design my invariants to avoid the possibility of failures that need runtime checking. Once you’re alerting, it’s too late, the cat’s out of the bag — robust systems really need to avoid designs that lead to cats getting out of bags in the first place.
A roller coaster could actually be a good way to move things around. With lower gravity than earth, and initial thrust could take a payload a predetermined distance effectively.
The UI feels _very_ similar to Grafana. Even the dashboard folders look exactly the same to me. I would have thought that Grafana being AGPL woudl specifically forbid this?

Edit: Or maybe the AGPL just requires releasing any code you change? I could be confused.
I thought it was over 9000.
> I think it should always be legal to use the likeness of deceased people.

I disagree, but purely because I would hate it if anyone (especially friends and family) created a simulacrum of me. I'm hoping that expressing my wish in my will would provide some amount of protection against this.
The Summer I MacGyvered a Smart Bug Repeller and Saved $700
This is amazing!

Last year I made a website for my gf where I had to build a custom map of Paris, and I struggled a lot trying to figure out how to actually make a map from scratch while avoiding paid services like mapbox.

I finally managed to hack something up using openstreetmap data, then some manual work in QGIS to customize the look, and voila - I had a bunch of folders filled with raster tiles.

This site is deployed for free on Netlify and is basically just a React SPA, a public folder with tiles, and I give the tile URL template to the OpenLayers lib to display it all nicely on the screen. Simple and it works!

I always wanted to improve the map a bit by using vector tiles as I think it looks nicer, but I thought you need a dedicated server for that? (unless I'm mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong)
Four years to the date since 0.1.0! Nice work!

Great question! Vijay here, I'm one of the co-founders of Oodle.
Compared to thanos
1. We use object store (S3) for all queries - even recent time ranges. Object store is not just an archival solution
2. Customized indexing to minimize memory usage. Index is also on object storage.
3. Custom columnar file format optimized for storing metrics on object storage
4. Serverless functions for achieving good query performance. This helps us break down and parallelise queries without impacting cost with pre-provisioned compute.
5. No downsampling. Downsampling is not required to improve query performance or reduce costs with serverless and object storage
I agree but my statement still holds true. When something doesn't explicitly say "Open Source", it's not Open Source. This is a very old trick that i've learned decades ago..
AI companies do need to make billions in order to produce returns on the billions of investment they have taken.

> People forget that there was a shit ton of investment in the early internet that also didn't pay off

Yes, those were called busts too. It’s not a value judgement, it’s just the term for that moment when lofty expectations don’t pan out.
fields are just a descriptive mathematical device or language for expressing how something we don’t understand at all behaves, but this discussion is going to start going even further down the zany “language isn’t real” rabbithole where nothing means anything and no meaning can be communicated so I guess it’s kinda moot
I was surprised you're allowed to this. But I also haven't read the license.
I have a little history with Winamp. I wrote a popular plugin for it back in the day.

This is the source code for Winamp 3, which is a total rewrite of winamp 2 in C++. In my opinion, it was overcomplicated and over-architected. The original source code by Justin Frankel in C.

Business expenses in the real world aren't always "only spend on things that directly increase profit." It's harder to quantify a productivity increase.

The ROI of generative AI can be debated, but at the least the companies are locked into year+ enterprise contracts which is actualized revenue for OpenAI. Those contracts may or may not get renewed.
Bing had no trouble at all finding him from my device.
You're not allowed to "distribute" a fork, even in source form. Posting something on Github certainly smells a lot like distributing it.
Seems to me that it's up to you which license you use, so if one grants the right to fork then there's nothing Winamp could do to prevent that.

At best they could invalidate the one license they control, but even that seems iffy
Thank you for sharing this! I think a focus on shrinking personal projects to the point I might actually finish them, might be just what I need right now

Agreed. o1 is a step in the right direction. There are half a dozen improvements that could be made along the same lines without introduction of any new technology.
> Why should all future media be forbidden from ever portraying a famous or important person after there is no one left to give or deny that permission or even care if anyone did?

Why should people in the future have some sort of inherent right make use of someone else like that? It makes no sense to me at all.
It's really fast. Visible frequencies are in the THz to PHz range, while radio frequencies are in the kHz. Modern electronics are fast enough to sample the latter but not the former.
This is news to me regarding the level of shittiness of Apple's marketing. Do you have any sources? If not that is OK. I don't think it's outside the realm of feasibility that this is so. It's not an extraordinary claim. Apple executives have the aura of "good guys" but that is merely a public facing facade.
Carrier locking is not firmware locking! Carrier locking doesn't disable a stolen phone. It disables the use of non approved carriers on the phone, stolen or not.

That's my whole point. Carrier locking used to be standard, even on iPhones, and phone theft was very common too. Carrier locking wasn't a theft deterrent.

Firmware locking is a great theft deterrent. A stolen iPhone is basically just a few cheaper used parts, and all the expensive ones are useless.
I didn't say that. I said that you should not destroy things that dont work. You should rather fix it.
Show HN: Velvet – Store OpenAI requests in your own DB
Hey HN! We’re Emma and Chris, founders of Velvet (https://www.usevelvet.com).

Velvet proxies OpenAI calls and stores the requests and responses in your PostgreSQL database. That way, you can analyze logs with SQL (instead of a clunky UI). You can also set headers to add caching and metadata (for analysis).

Backstory: We started by building some more general AI data tools (like a text-to-SQL editor). We were frustrated by the lack of basic LLM infrastructure, so ended up pivoting to focus on the tooling we wanted. So many existing apps, like Helicone, were hard to use as power users. We just wanted a database.

Scale: We’ve already warehoused 50m requests for customers, and have optimized the platform for scale and latency. We’ve built the proxy on Cloudflare Workers, and latency is nominal. We’ve built some “yak shaving” features that were really complex such as decomposing OpenAI Batch API requests so you can track each log individually. One of our early customers (https://usefind.ai/) makes millions of OpenAI requests per day, up to 1500 requests per second.

Vision: We’re trying to build development tools that have as little UI as possible, that can be controlled entirely with headers and code. We also want to blend cloud and on-prem for the best of both worlds — allowing for both automatic updates and complete data ownership.

Here are some things you can do with Velvet logs:

- Observe requests, responses, and latency

- Analyze costs by metadata, such as user ID

- Track batch progress and speed

- Evaluate model changes

- Export datasets for fine-tuning of gpt-4o-mini

(this video shows how to do each of those: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaFkRi5ESi8)

--

To see how it works, try chatting with our demo app that you can use without logging in: https://www.usevelvet.com/sandbox

Setting up your own proxy is 2 lines of code and takes ~5 mins.

Try it out and let us know what you think!

Shortfall in Young Engineers Threatens Nuclear Renaissance
If a person wants to desperately peddle books with sexual content to underaged kids (that have no interest in seeking those particular books themselves), against their parents will and consent and then get very upset when parents do restrict this content in a public school library no less, then surely I'd say they follow a weird ideology.

>Also, Harry Potter constantly tops lists of most-banned books in libraries.

Well, then that is clearly bad.

The article does clearly communicate and wear it's convictions on it's sleave about what it is concerned about, and I see no mention of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings there.
Yeah but to what extent is it all just marketing and promotional type copy, plus maybe "content" that explains or summarizes things.

That's definitely responsible for billions of dollars in salaries. But also it's a bit of an arms race. Like the standards will just go up for everything evenly right?
